Thick stone walls keep the space naturally cool and fresh, while the airy, uncluttered design offers the true essence of holidays: relaxation, tranquility, and connection with nature.

A special place
We just loved this very simple, clean and well appointed apartment in a quiet corner of Kissamos. The apartment is close to great beaches and the hosts were very easy to reach. We only stayed two nights but wished we had booked more time at the cottage.

Awesome House in the Hills
This is a beautiful newly renovated house with a very kind, attentive owner who is always available. The kitchen is fully stocked and we loved the espresso maker! The house is cool and has excellent air conditioning and Lefteris (owner) has done a thoughtful job in all renovations. There are two bathrooms with great water temperature and pressure. The house is 2km uphill from town so it’s important to have a car. The driveway is difficult to navigate (steep, bumpy, and small) but we did park at the top every time (or you can park on the road). The house was perfect for our family of four with comfortable beds. There is little privacy as the three levels are open concept but we still loved it. If you want a quiet place in the hills near the famous Balos Beach, I would absolutely recommend this lovely house. We would definitely book here again!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo alloggio durante le nostre vacanze estive a Creta e non possiamo che parlarne benissimo! La posizione è davvero perfetta: comoda per esplorare l’isola, vicina a spiagge meravigliose, ristoranti tipici e tutti i principali servizi.L’appartamento era bellissimo, curato nei dettagli, pulito e molto accogliente. Si vede che è stato arredato con gusto e attenzione, e ci siamo sentiti subito a casa.Un grande grazie anche all’host, sempre disponibile e attento a ogni nostra esigenza. Ci ha accolto con grande ospitalità e ci ha dato ottimi consigli su cosa visitare e dove mangiare.Un soggiorno perfetto sotto ogni punto di vista — torneremmo volentieri!

Ginas Cottage Kissamos
Alles rundum empfehlenswert. Die Einfahrt ist schmal und steil, absonsten ist alles bestens und gut ausgestattet. Sogar die Küchenmesser sind sehr scharf, was mir persönlich in Ferienwohnungen oft fehlt.Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
