“Lovely few days to end our stay on Crete. Attentive hosts and lovely having the beach at the bottom to just be!”
Beautiful house with the most amazing views over the sea. The sunrise and the moon over the sea at night was just incredible. Great facilities including beach towels for swimming. Loved the extra touches like the dressing gowns and slippers too.

We were a group of 5 women and LOVED our stay at ZEN House. It is the most beautiful villa, with such a thoughtful design and an amazing view. The kitchen is very well equipped and we were provided with water, coffee, milk, wine, etc. We enjoyed every second of our stay - either at the private beach, on the wooden deck to practice yoga, on the balcony, at the pool or in the house, preparing breakfast with a view. Marianna and Andrew were great in communication, before our arrival and also during our stay. We would love to come back one day!

“Would definitely come back to stay here when visiting the Paleokastro area again. Great location.”
Wow this place was a fantastic location to wind up our last 4 days on Crete. It is close enough to Heraklion to visit the various attractions and landmarks, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of all the traffic that tends to clog up Heraklion. Staying here definitely requires renting your own cars so you'll need to be up on the customs of how the locals drive on Crete. But the house had plenty of room, great shower water pressure/temperature and beautiful views of the ocean. Having your own private path-way down to the beach with a private deck and cove near the water were an excellent way to unwind after visiting the sites and places we went to during the day. Our host Andrew greeted us upon our arrival and was extremely pleasant and informative to help us navigate where to go eat and visit.
