Wonderful views

Pretty traditional house, edge of village, wonderful views. Comfortable for two people. Good shady parking, which is a definate plus. Lovely terrace and a little balcony overlooking sea and mountains, for tea, breakfast or apéro. Our second visit to this area, not disappointed.

Beautiful location for relaxing

The place is located in a beautiful hilltop with a great view. Inside it is equipped with a decent kitchen. The host is lovely. However it has no internet so you have to rely on a local phone network which is not great because you are in the mountains. Just something to know beforehand. I had to work and had to go to Kalyves when I had meetings. But other than that we enjoyed the great views and the small villages in the area.

Rustic Beautiful Place for the right type of travellers

If you are seeking a secluded, quiet stay in authentic Crete White Mountains foothills, this is the spot for you! Beautiful stone villa with gorgeous windows. Very clean and property was accurately listed. The owners were very helpful to guide us there and also gave great advice and shared knowledge about where to go on Crete. They also had some food stocked for us which was really appreciated especially able to have a coffee or tea with milk and toast with cheese or honey the next morning! We were there during a short heat wave so it was hot. We had dinner in Fres as suggested and it was like having a home cooked/family authentic Greek meal on a beautiful courtyard & had we not stayed here, we most likely wouldn’t have made it up to Fres and it was incredible. For those who love this type of travel like we do, this is a great place.

Sehr schöner Platz!

Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gäste in den umliegenden Häusern haben wir kaum gehört. Stavros hat uns gute Tipps gegeben. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Empfehlung mit kleinen Abstrichen

Sehr ruhige Lage und ein sehr bemühter Gastgeber. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen, hatten aber auch das Glück, dass die weiteren Ferienhäuser, die um das Haus liegen, nicht belegt waren. Minuspunkt: kein Internet im Haus verfügbar und hinter dem Haus so gut wie kein Internet.

Mountain retreat

We loved our stay in this magical mountain retreat. The charming house was beautiful inside and out. Very clean and comfortable. The secluded peaceful setting was so relaxing. We had a spectacular view of the full moon rising over the mountains. Our hosts, Stavros and Tatiana, were the best! Stavros is very knowledgeable about all there is to do and see on Crete.

Wonderful, quiet and authentic

It was really nice up there in Melidoni in this marvelous solid stone house with a bright appearance and a tasteful interior. The bedroom's view is just amazing and Stavros and Tatiana were really nice (they welcomed us with bread, yoghurt and cookies :) ) The location is perfect when you don't want to be in the overcrowded chaos of the near-beach villages. If you like hiking this is perfect since the mountains are just behind the house. If not, its not really far (20 minutes) to the beaches. Apokoronas is the name of the region and it remained much more authentic then the touristic regions near the coast.

Dear Claudius, thank you very much for you kind and thoughtful review and of course for the wine you left for us. It was great having you as guests and Stavros enjoyed your company very much. Enjoy the wintertime and we hope to see you again some time. Best wishes, Tatiana

An absolute gem!

A fantastic property for solo travellers or couples looking to get off the beaten track. The house has stunning views and is ideally situated to get to a range of locations across Western Crete. The house itself is lovely, nicely finished and spotlessly clean. Tatiana and Stavros are ideal hosts, providing excellent communication and a warm and friendly welcome. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
