La casa Del Sal

Probably the most perfect vacation home we’ve ever experienced. You enter into a tranquil courtyard surrounded by greenery. The entire home, owned and designed by an architect, reflects that design influence. Unique lighting, high-end finishes, every detail is perfect. The views of the harbor are unmatched. There’s quite a story around the history of the place that adds to its character as well. The flat has a gourmet kitchen equipped for every possible need. Fine dishes, flatware, and crystal (not second hand cast-offs), separate fridge and freezer, dishwasher - everything. The bedrooms have luxury bedding, lots of pillows and super-soft towels. The bathrooms are all modern and function perfectly. Huge closets in every room, complete with two bathrobes. The hardest thing to do is decide where to eat: courtyard, formal dining, kitchen, or rooftop. A good problem to have! One of the best features: it’s full of LIVE PLANTS!! You never see this in a vacation home, and it’s such a nice touch. And not the allergy-inducing kind, either. We’re super-sensitive, and had no issues. Georgia is an incredibly attentive and communicative host. We’d say she attended to our every need, but we didn’t have any; it was that perfect.

That we had to leave.

This is an exceptional home. It is designed very well and is very comfortable. There are many outdoor spaces and the views are excellent.

Nothing.

Gorgeous and historic home that was exceptionally renovated with all amenities. Comfortable beds, clean restrooms, excellent washing machine, fully stocked kitchen wares, spacious and centrally located for easy walkability to everything, including the bus station! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Georgia was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend! Would absolutely book here again should we ever find ourselves back in Heraklion.

The street it is located on can be a bit disarming but once you enter the residence you will be immediately comfortable and happy with your choice. You will have a beautiful view of the water. I read that there was access to a semi private beach but this was not the case. We did find public access point to a tiny beach nearby. You can easily bus or taxi to better beaches not too far away.

lots of space - clean and welcoming

had to walk up and down a steep hill - no direct car access
