Excellent location and very comfortable

The house had all the amenities that we needed and is spacious and comfortable. The verandah is a nice place to relax under the lemon tree. An ideal location for exploring the area by car and there is good bus service into Heraklion. I highly recommend this property. Marianne Z.

Very helpful proprietors

Nikos and his brother were wonderful hosts. They were very responsive, friendly and helpful. We left something behind and they very kindly made sure we got the items back. The location is excellent - right across from the Palace. It is a peaceful and lovely place to stay with excellent "vibes".

Cleanliness was an issue. The house is spacious and comfortable. There were basic provisions such as coffee and tea - vacuum was provided as well as bin bags. The kitchen was reasonably equipped and the heating was fine. We used the fire place a lot - with mixed outcomes as sometimes there was smoke. The location was secluded and access was challenging given the narrow street leading to the property. Overall good experience. The owner’s relative was near by and helpful provided wood and other support.

A short stroll to Knossos Palace

As promised, this place is just a short stroll to the Palace of Knossos. There are some tourist shops and restaurants, but you'll probably want a car to get to a mini market or a wider selection of restaurants (it is walkable, but not a nice walk). Caveat: the GPS took us to the wrong place, so you really want to meet the owner in the parking lot at Knossos. The flat itself is clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, bathrooms, etc. There is outdoor seating and a balcony for when it is warm enough.

Spacious and comfortable

Loved staying here for week that we were in Crete. Very spacious living area and open galley kitchen that has basic pots. Homemade olive oil and fresh brown oranges and lemons and flowers greeted us in our arrival. I enjoyed picking a fresh lemon each morning for my tea and an orange for breakfast snack. We had a little difficulty in check in contact as using the foreign numbers with our American phone didn’t seem to work. However once we were able to make contact through a local friend we were greeted with such warm friendliness. andonis and his family were sweet hosts. Checked on us and answered our questions but respected our privacy. It was great location to get into Heraklion or out and about to other areas of Crete. Parking on property which is up a steep hill. This property is not quickly walkable to anything except the palace. You could walk to a more commercial district in 20-30 minutes. It is quiet and beautiful and comfortably furnished, good beds and linens- we would stay here again if we were to return. Lovely hosts! Thank you!

An Ideal Home and Location while on Crete

Of the previous 8 Vrbo homes various members of the family have rented over the past 10 years, this home had the most stylish, well-designed interior and convenience of location, especially if you do not want to rent a car to see the immediate Heraklion area. (Bus service on Crete is cheap, reliable and convenient with hourly service to most locations on the island.) The house has an open, spacious floor plan laid out in a very attractive manner with all the amenities one would need. I particularly like the high ceiling in the living room which is reminiscent of my home. The family that owns the home is nearby and was always very pleasant and helpful and on multiple occasion supplied me with in-season oranges, tangerines, lemons in addition to fresh eggs. During my six week stay I never had an issue. The home is in a beautiful setting at the head of a valley surrounded by thousands of acres of Olive groves. You step out the front door and you can take many different circuit treks on the mountain roads with two beautiful, historic Venetian Aqueducts in walking distance. The home is within 100 meters of the famous Knossos Palace where you can catch the bus and ride the 15 minutes into Heraklion or to the main bus station to go to other parts of the Island. While, at the same time, a 15 walk from the house allows you to visit numerous suburban Coffee Houses, Bakery’s or food markets. A solid all around 5 Star rating.
