Vista for miles

House is beautifully designed, landscaped and built out for comfort and privacy. All the conveniences of Sitia (fish market, supermarket, butcher, marina) all within 10 minute drive. Mountains on one side, a valley view on the other side that stretches out to the sea. Hosts Despina and Sifis could not be more accomodating to my wife and I. Highly recommended.

Beautiful older property set in immaculately maintained grounds with stunning views down the valley to Sitia and the coast. The owners are very welcoming, hospitable and friendly (even baking us a delicious cake as a welcome gift). The house oozes old world charm and provides an insight into how island life might have been one hundred years ago (minus the air conditioning obviously!). Sitia is only a twenty minute drive away and provides all you might need to sustain you during your stay. If an authentic county retreat is what you are looking for, you will adore this place.

Lovely stay in a traditional stone house

This beautiful stone house is in such a lovely spot, perched on the hillside. It’s a lovely home with a beautiful garden and the huge veranda has an amazing view all the way to the sea. Whether it’s the garden or the view to the sea, every window in the home provides a beautiful scene that could be a painting. The weather took a terrible turn toward the end of our October visit, with unprecedented rainfall and catastrophic flooding in the town of Sitia below. Our hearts went out to the people in the town ….. we were fortunate to be safe and warm in the beautiful Cheese House. Sifis, who had met us on arrival, kindly checked on us to ensure we were okay. Despite the rainfall near the end of our visit, we would definitely visit again.

Heaven

Having stayed at three other beautiful properties during our trip, I was slightly nervous about our final villa-but the old cheese hut turned out to be the best of them all. It is stunning! Everything about it is perfect, from the peaceful location to the well equipped rooms. I have to admit that, apart from sleeping, we were rarely inside the house, as we spent most of our time relaxing on the beautiful terrace and admiring the wonderful views. The owners have thought of everything you could need and the gift of a home-made cake was a kind touch. A week was not long enough and I hope we wi be able to return in the future.

Perfekter Aufenthalt

Liebevoll restauriertes Steinhaus. Beste Lage mit Blick zum Meer , an ruhiger Nebenstraße und dennoch nur 10 Autominuten von Sitia entfernt. Im Haus ist alles was man auch für einen längeren Aufentgalt braucht. Komplett mit modernen Geräten ausgesatte Küche. Geschmackvoll eingerichtetes gemütlicher großer Wohnraum, wo man es auch bei schlechtem Wetter gemütlich machen kann. Der Kühlschrank war bei unserer Ankunft bestens gefüllt, mit Wein, Bier und Raki. Öl ,Essig und Gewütze waren ebenfalls vorhanden. Fazit: Perfekter Aufenthalt mit perfektem Gastgeber. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!!!

Very good stay

The place was very quiet and calm and it offers a great view. Ideal to get to beautiful beaches and the city while still being able to enjoy some privacy.

Ein traumhafter Platz zum Entspannen

Wir suchten einen ruhigen Platz im Osten Kretas - mitten in der Natur und doch in gut erreichbarer Nähe zum Meer und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Angetan von den Fotos haben wir uns für die 'Käsehütte' entschieden - und haben es keinen Moment bereut. Nach der Buchung wurden wir durch Pantelis mit wichtigen Tipps und Informationen über die Umgebung, Ausflugsmöglichkeiten und Sehenswürdigkeiten informiert. Der Empfang durch den Eigentümer war herzlich und die Übergabe verlief reibungslos einfach. Es erwarteten uns selbstgebackene Köstlichkeiten (auch in der zweiten Woche :-)), eine Karte der Region, ein Reiseführer und eine Unterkunft, die genau den Bildern entsprach. Es war genau das was wir erhofft hatten!! Eine Ruheoase für uns. Wir haben uns dort so wohl gefühlt, das es manchmal schwer fiel zu Ausflügen in die Umgebung aufzubrechen :-) .... Wir kommen bestimmt wieder - und sagen noch einmal herzlichen Dank Pantelis für die gute Betreuung und Sifia & seiner Frau herzlichen Dank für die kulinarische Versorgung und Freundlichkeit!! Viele Grüße von Kerstin & Bernd

Sehnsuchtsort

Ein absolut traumhaftes Ferienhaus! Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit in einem stimmigen Ambiente und dazu einen grandiosen Fernblick sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir haben und sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Vermieter ist sehr zuvorkommend und hat und sogar den Kühlschrank mit einer Grundausstattung an Lebensmitteln gefüllt.
