pastoral setting
The house is fully equiped, lies amidst olive-trees, overlooks a little valy. Every morning and evening you can watch the sheep passing by down there.
The host is very much interested to make you feel at home.

Un séjour exceptionnel!
La villa est fidèle à la description.
Les propriétaires nous ont accueillis comme des amis de longue date. Ils sont absolument charmants et soucieux du bien être de leurs hôtes. Bref un couple formidable.
L’environnement de la maison: au milieu de champs d’olivier ; un calme absolu et une vue sur les oliviers et la mer (a 7mn en voiture).
La maison est fonctionnelle avec tous les équipements nécessaires en vacances , une piscine juste à la bonne taille avec le soleil to ur e la journee, deux “aires de repas”, une aire de jeux pour les enfants, un potager dans lequel nous allons chercher les légumes ... bref idyllique .
Enfin, pour visiter l’ouest de la Crète en limitant le nombre de km la maison est idéalement située (20 mn de Réthymnon, 50 mn de La Canée, 20 mn du lac de Kournas)
Pour des vacances en famille ou entre amis nous recommandons 100 milliards de fois.
Nous même y retournerons sûrement.
Un grand merci à Popi et son mari
