Om overnatningsstedet

Stor privat lejlighed i en traditionel græsk landsby med fantastisk udsigt.

The 'House in the Sun' er en stor veludstyret 55sqm lejlighed med 180 graders udsigt over foden af de hvide bjerge.
Beliggende på kanten den søvnige landsby Paidohori, huset er 15 minutter fra de dejlige sandstrande feriesteder i Kalyves og 20 minutter fra Almyrida.
Det nærmeste mini-marked, apotek og taverna er i Agio Pantes, som er en meget kort køretur - eller en længere gåtur væk.

Lejligheden har et veludstyret fuld størrelse køkken, generøs dobbeltseng og et stort opholdsstue, som har en enkelt sovesofa og / eller en rejseseng til yderligere gæster, hvis det kræves, og et separat moderne brusebad og toilet. Lejligheden har et tv, dvd og wifi.

Opvarmning om vinteren og aircondition om sommeren er til rådighed, hvis det kræves.

Gæsterne har alene brug af en stor privat terrasse og et skyggefuldt opholdsområde med fantastisk udsigt.

Ejerne har 4 katte, der nyder hilsen gæster.

Der er mange interessante og varierede vandreture rundt om i området, langs kysten, indlandet på sletterne, eller for de mere eventyrlystne i bjergene, alle med en fantastisk udsigt og varieret dyreliv.
Flere vigtige arkæologiske steder er inden for rækkevidde i bil.

Chania, den maleriske venetianske by med sin historiske havn er et fantastisk sted at besøge og slentre rundt i den gamle bydel og derefter spise ved havnefronten eller op ad de skjulte sidegader. Det er kun 30 minutter væk med bil eller bus.

Byen Paidohori ligger mellem Chania og Rethymno. Chania lufthavn ligger cirka 45 minutter væk, og Heraklion lufthavn er under 2 timer. Vi er 2-3 minutter fra Agio Pantes krydset på den nationale vej.
Der er offentlig transport fra Chania og Rethymno til Agio Pantes på den nationale vej, hvor der er en taxa, men vi vil anbefale gæsterne at leje en bil.

Prisen inkluderer en velkomstpakke med frisk brød, et udvalg af 'sæson' lokal frugt, mælk, te og kaffe for at gøre din første morgen morgenmad til en afslappende oplevelse,

De engelske ejere bor ovenpå i en separat lejlighed.

A beautiful and thoughtfully equipped apartment in a fabulous location with stunning views over the countryside. Kathie & Chris are excellent hosts who’ve spared no detail in providing every essential, and more, for the visitors to their holiday retreat. We came to Crete for a relax and collapse from our busy lives and found the perfect haven - we really loved it. We shall certainly return and whole heartedly recommend The House in the Sun to anyone looking for an escape from the crowds and hurly burly of the resort areas.

After reading the reviews and so many positive reviews we decided to book this place. Well all i can say is we were not disappointed very clean with all you need. Wonderful well kept gardens and a beautiful pool plenty of areas to enjoy the sun but also a lovely shaded area under the wisteria to escape from the heat but for me the best was the Wonderful views of the olive groves flanked my the white mountains stunning with only the sounds of a Greek summer and the occasional Greek music playing in the distance which only enhanced the experience. If you enjoy the quieter life this is a place i would highly recommend

What can we say The House in The Sun, for us it was pure paradise.The views are amazing and left myself and Julie breathless with their stunning colours and beauty.Watching the sunrise and sunset the colours changing on the Olive Groves and hills.What could be more wonderful than sitting by the pool watching swallows swoop down to drink.The owners cats with their individual personalities are adorable and wander around with grace.The property is immaculately clean, lovely comfy bed and gorgeous fresh linen.The owners Kathie and Chris are fantastic and a wonderful couple and are there to offer advice and assistance if you need it.Overall this truly is a remarkable property and area that will steal your heart and you will leave a little bit of it when you depart.

As expected and more

For our trip in Crete we were looking for an easily accessible and central location in the countryside. What is great about the House in the sun is that even if you live among olive, orange and lemon trees, sheeps and goats and enjoy long walks from village to village in a rural environment, you are relatively close to everything by car. The appartement has met our expectations. It was perfect for 2 and had everything you need. Because we travelled early May, we did not use the pool, but we have enjoyed spending time on the private terrace which offers a gorgeous view of the surroundings. Our hosts were also great to interact with and very helpful. And the cats,…we fell in love with them. We highly recommand this place.

Peace & tranquility

This place isn’t for everyone, which doesn’t mean I’m putting this place down, quite the opposite. If you love animals, especially cats, then come here (if you don’t like cats then don’t visit Greece!). If you love to be off the beaten track, but still close enough to not be totally cut off, then come here. If you want the option of being left to your own devices and I mean totally, no room service, no towel changes while you nap etc come here. We enjoyed the solitude, no noises bars, the long walks through rural villages, the peace and quiet (apart from the dogs, birds, goats etc) the lovely local villages with great Tavernas and warm welcomes. Yes this suited us perfectly and we are looking at returning soon, and WE NEVER do that to any place that we’ve visited before !

A lovely House in the Sun with great hosts, facilities and environment.

Our 3rd visit to Crete. This is a lovely, air-conditioned apartment, set in a quiet traditional village in a beautiful part of Crete. The views from the patio are stunning. The facilities provided within the apartment, and outside, were all we needed for our 9 night stay. The bed is very comfortable and the pool is everything it looks, maintained at a constant 30 Deg C. Within 30 minutes travel is the lovely seaside resort of Kalyves. There are many golden, sandy, beaches within easy reach. Chania airport and city are about 30 minutes drive as is a Lidl store. There are local shops and chemists within a few minutes drive. I advise hiring a car, in order to get the best from your stay. The hosts, Kathie and Chris are lovely people! They are extremely helpful, friendly and kind. The advice that they gave us on the local area was really helpful. Thank you both, so much, for everything! We thoroughly recommend thiis for a holiday to remember! Roly & Mandy Love.

This was a fantastic stay and the listing couldn't be more accurate. We stayed for 8 nights and it was our first holiday with our 5 month old baby.Kathie and Chris are great hosts. They really made us feel at home and went through everything with us when we arrived which put us at ease for the week and made us fully familiar with how to live comfortably during our stay.The views are stunning. The sunrises in particular were breathtaking given the apartment sits on an eastern facing hill. Kathie and Chris have done an incredible job with the design of the space as well.The pool - this was the standout for us. We were keen to still stay somewhere that enabled us to explore the west side of the island but the private pool was a huge plus point as we were keen to get our 5 month old into it and have the privacy and peace to do so at our own pace (without lots of kids splashing around or similar at hotel pools). Don't be put off by the pool being salt water - this isn't remotely as explicit as it sounds. It's a process of chlorinating the water and isn't remotely what you would guess a salt water pool would be like - do not let the naive understanding of salt water pools put you off - its better than a regular pool.Overall an unforgettable stay, which is lovely as we will cherish our first ever family holiday being somewhere as amazing as this.Do not hesitate if you are considering booking this apartment!!

Oh golly Fraser, you’ve just made me cry, that’s so lovely to think that The House in the Sun will always be part of your family memories. Thanks for mentioning the benefits of the pool. Our daughter has very sensitive skin so we chose to have this type of pool rather than one using chemicals. The salt is changed into natural chlorine which is much gentler on your skin and guests report how soft their skin feels after using it. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime xxxx Love Kathie and Chris xxxxx

What a find!

We have just returned home after spending a fantastic, relaxing, 2 weeks with Kathie and Chris at The House in the sun. It really couldn't have been any better. Communication before our trip was spot on with extremely easy directions with pictures sent that made finding the apartment very easy. We arrived in the early hours and were welcomed by Alfie the cat who kept us company for our holiday. Fantastically well equipped, spotless apartment. Fantastic sitting area with amazing views and the pool!… we spent a lot more time at the pool then we have done on any other holiday as we found it so relaxing. There is a great little village about 5 mins away with a well stocked shop, a great coffee place that do delicious cakes, a gyros shop and a lovely taverna serving amazing food. Lots of beach choices can be found without having to venture too far from base. Kathie and Chris are the perfect hosts with loads of advice available & laughs. We were even treated to a some quiet background music one day while they rehearsed for a gig they had locally that week. Would absolutely not hesitate to recommend the house in the sun to everyone and have already given all the details to a lot of our friends and family. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday in Crete xxx Alison and Paul xxx

L'appartement de Kathie et Chris est top tout comme eux qui sont attentifs et gentils. La maison est au calme avec une vue magnifique sur la campagne. La piscine est le gros point fort de l appartement. On peut y lézarder paisiblement dans une eau a 30 en plein mois de juillet. La terasse est tres sympa pour les repas. A l interieur on retrouve tout l essentiel pour passer de bonnes vacances à deux, c'est efficace (manque peut-être un lave vaisselle). Dernier point et non des moindres, la maison est habitée par plusieurs chats adorables, qui apprécient la compagnie des vacanciers. La localisation est idéale pour visiter l'ouest de l'île (en voiture !)

Les propriétaire sont disponibles et très réactifs.L’endroit est isolé et calme, nécessitant une voiture, mais situé à distance assez proche des belles plages de Georgioupoli et des villes à visiter de Chania et de Rethymno.Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine.

Ein Paradies auf Erden! Wir haben bisher einige Lände besucht, viele nette Menschen kennengelernt aber noch nie so herzliche Gastgeber getroffen wie Kathie und Chris, wir haben sie sofort ins Herz geschlossen.Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen, der Pool ein Traum und der Ausblick ist einfach traumhaft schön. Wir kommen wieder. 100%.

Om værten

Vært: Kathie and Chris

Værtens profilbillede
I am a 'retired' paediatric physiotherapist who worked for 30 years mainly with children with Cerebral Palsy, mostly in their own homes. Chris was a software developer then team manager for nearly 40 years
We moved to Crete in October 2016 basically to escape the M6! Chris's commute from Walsall to Coventry was getting longer and longer and he'd had enough. After 30 years I was finding it harder and harder to crawl around the floor all day treating the kids!
We now live here in Crete, enjoying the empty roads and the outdoor lifestyle in the sun. We spend our days marvelling at the views and bird watching from the balcony, walking in the surrounding areas, eating amazing food at the local taverna's, playing music, or for me, snorkelling in the clear blue waters whilst Chris either explores the coastline or sits and contemplates life!

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Chris and I have travelled throughout the Greek islands on 2 week holidays for the last 20 years but really fell in love with the Apokoronas area of Crete. The surrounding countryside is lush and green, rather than brown and barren like other parts of the island. It is also close to our favourite city, Chania with its picturesque Venetian harbour and narrow cobbled streets.
We bought this particular property in Paidohori for several reasons.
We wanted to be in the heart of a Greek community away from the main tourist areas but within 15 minutes of the golden sandy beaches and friendly resorts of Kalyves and Almyrida.
We fell in love with the view of the mountains and olive groves which change as the light changes during the day.
We are aware that holiday time is precious and really want you to make the most of your time here and have a fabulous holiday so we also liked the idea that our rental customers could be completely private if they wanted to be. However, we would be available for support and advice if required or to sort out any problems you may have, instantly.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

The house is built from stone in the traditional Greek style, with the archway through to the bedroom area, but it has all the modern features of air conditioning and mosquito screens for the summer and double glazed windows and a log burner as heating for the winter.
The views are spectacular from the large terrace where you can sunbathe or sit under the shaded pergola and sip local wines.
The solar heated swimming pool is accessed via a gate on the guest terrace.
