My husband and I loved this beautifully restored property in a quiet, authentic Greek village away from the crowds. Balcony views across the valley were amazing. The garden area for breakfast was another favourite. Manolis, the owner, was very helpful with the check in process and made recommendations for our time there. He was super responsive whenever I communicated with him, and we were appreciative of his thoughtful gestures such as the fruit platter and wine on arrival. The village has a fabulous restaurant, The Golden Cage, which serves fantastic food. There is no mini market any more in the village. However, it’s approximately a 10 minute drive to the nearest supermarket in the town of Kokkini Hani, which also has a nice and calm sandy beach. If you’re arriving late in the day or in the evening, I suggest you bring your own breakfast supplies with you. A most unique and memorable stay!

A beautiful family space, quiet and close to everything we needed. Enjoyed use of the back garden and interior home. The views are breathtaking. Manolis and Evi were very hospitable and responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Very large, rustic, beautifully restored building to keep its charm. Large living area, and only once enclosed bedroom. The other bedroom doesn't have a door but is just separated by a curtain. It has 2 bathrooms, and the upstairs one has a tub. The downstairs one has a small shower where the water tends to get the whole room wet. The area is a bit complicated to navigate with a car and even google maps. You have a good chance of going through roads that are very narrow, and almost getting stuck. Once we figured it out after a couple of days though, we were fine. Kokkini Hanni beach is a short driving trip away, which was one of our favorite beaches on our trip. It's also not far to Knossos to see the ruins there. The owner was a very nice gentleman that helped us with any issues we had. We enjoyed our stay.

A more beautiful place could not be found in a small village not far from Heraklion. Filled with comfort, Greek warmth and a lot of thoughtfulness.
Plenty of room, lovely patio and balconies off the upstairs bedrooms.
If you’re looking for some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, look no further.
