“It was exceptional, we couldn’t have asked for anymore.”
The room was spotless, as was the rest of the place as well. Hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome - they had really nice dogs as well. We had a fair few nice recommendations from them too on where to go out which were very helpful. The pool area was also very spacious, felt very luxury and was very clean. You could really see that the hosts took care and pride with what they offer. For the price I can’t see you getting much better than this.

“An amazing visit from Ireland to Crete!”
Richard and Maria will do everything to make stay as enjoyable as possible. They really are incredible hosts who run a small, five apartment complex. They have fluent English which was a great help for us. Richard even dropped us to a location when a taxi let us down. We received an apartment upgrade on arrival which was a nice surprise. Towels are changed daily & the apartments have everything you need. They will also serve you food & drinks by the pool as you relax (extra charge). They have a really cute dog too and he is very friendly.

“A warm and friendly welcome in some of the best value apartments I have stayed at in Crete”
the apartments are spotless and the hosts, Richard and Maria could not have been more friendly not more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The pool area is sheltered and sunny and the swimming pool is immaculate.
