Nice family run accommodation with stunning views.
We arrived late and the key had been left for us but unfortunately we did not see it and pressed the bell. Despite waking the owners at 1am, we were forgiven for our mistake and the check in process went smoothly. The hotel is high up on the outskirts of Agia Pelagia with amazing views. There is a lovely pool and bar area and the atmosphere is very laid back - we found it easy to relax. We enjoy walking so the walk into town and to the beach, and the walk back was not a problem for us, but if you don't like to walk it is better to have a car - there is plenty of parking at the property. Taxis are also reasonably priced to and from town. A taxi from the airport cost us around ยฃ32. There are a few buses into Heraklion near to the property, and a supermarket and alternative place to eat within a short walk. Peggy and her daughter cook excellent home made dishes for you, but this tends to be one dish each day, which we sampled and found to be very tasty, particularly the home made potatoes. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. Rooms are quite spacious but simply furnished - there is a sofabed in the lounge and dining table/basic kitchenette but no TV or toaster/microwave which some people may prefer. Wi-fi was available in the room and was excellent. If you like a homely atmosphere, good food and stunning views, this is an excellent place. We were a bit reluctant to leave and would not hesitate to stay here again.
