Amazing place if you want traditional housing and don't mind mountainous roads and you plan to travel into town from the village for eating out. The one taverna that serves food only opens at 2000 and isn't open every day. When they are open though they have Amazing food and the waitress was amazing as well. There's places to get groceries if you want to cook for yourself.

We loved our stay at this beautiful house. The location is excellent, making it very easy to drive to either side of Crete. Our host was fantastic and very friendly, helpful, and highly responsive. She also gave us great recommendations for places to visit around the island. The house itself is lovely and equipped with basic supplies for cooking in the evening, which was mostly suitable for our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. However, there were some things that I think could be improved.
Mainly, the bed was really uncomfortable, although beautiful and clean linen. Myself and my partner barely slept the whole time, it was like a slab of concrete.
We had a a terrace with our apartment which was gorgeous and had amazing views of the surrounding landscape. If I were to be picky, it would be nice to have more comfortable seating up there.
Air con works and was great.
You do need a car if you intend to leave the village, the location for us was 10/10. Beautiful views and easy to get to other locations as long as you hire a car. We didn’t try to get any taxis so not sure how easy it would be to book.
The amenities in the village were great, a shop within 100 yards and the restaurant is traditional with fantastic staff. Very reasonably priced, and they bent over backwards to look after us.
The apartment itself is lovely, although basic. You cannot really cook there, although there is a kitchen, as there were literally no utensils. There is no kettle either.
Be careful of hidden costs, the host text me halfway through the stay to advise we had to pay a €5 per day charge for a climate change resilience fee, this wasn’t in any of the information we had received before or during the stay - and we stayed in a different hotel on our last night and we were not asked to pay this.
As I said, overall despite some flaws, we really loved the stay and would stay again.

The house was a lovely old Cretan house renovated to a high standard, and Popi was a wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable host - really friendly and full of suggestions of where to go next. You will need to have a car to get around as it is not at all central, and do not expect a modern building - but it was full of character and the aircon worked very well, so in my eyes it was perfect! I would happily stay here again, and hope to do so some day in the coming years.

This house was so adorable! We were running extremely late do to a change in our flight but the owner stayed up to greet us. She showed us around the village and where the stores were. Even offered to check on us if we needed it. The house itself was cozy and well kept. We had the pleasure of having a nice dog hang out outside our door. We did run into some issues back home that caused us to have to leave early. The owner was very kind and even offered us a deal so our money wasn't going to be waste for when we return. I'm looking forward to coming back once everything back home has settled down. Thank you so much for the amazing time. I live in the mountains and this truly felt like home.

A lovely traditional house in a typical Cretan village away from the tourist hotspots. Our host spoke good English and was very welcoming and helpful. The bakery sells wonderful trays of Baklava which we enjoyed on our spacious roof terrace, a great place for breakfast too.

If you are looking for a small town Crete experience this is a good place for that. Everyone was friendly, the house was cute and looked like the pictures. The hosts dinner recommendation, a short walk away, for Ethimiko, was very good. The only real issue we had was that the WiFi was not connecting in the room. If you want a disconnected experience this is your spot. The host did let us know they are working on getting a router for the room so this may be fixed soon.

This is a unique opportunity to stay in an old house in a small village up in the hills. Don’t expect modern features, but there was plenty of hot water, cable television, and a good local taberna.
The Expedia listing says “breakfast provided,” but don’t expect more than coffee in the apartment. When I asked the owner, she just told me where to buy bread in the morning!
The only serious problem was that the property owner claimed she never got our reservation from Expedia and that she never got any of my phone calls or texts confirming our arrival. So, when we got to the property, it was locked, and no one in town spoke English! In the end, the owner did arrive and gave us a choice of any of the apartments. So, if you go, be sure to make contact with the owner before you show up!

The property was perfect for what I was looking for—a place to sleep for a couple of nights while I explored the area around Heraklion. The landlady was there to greet me and offer me a lot of great suggestions for eating locally, local attractions, etc. The apartment was spotlessly clean and quite comfortable enough for a couple of days’ stay. There is a small café in the village square about 100m down the street and a nice taverna with a spectacular view within a few minutes’ walk. The village is about half-an-hour’s drive from Heraklion.
My only criticism is that it was a little bit noisier than I would have liked. The location is in the center of the village opposite the church and the door and all the windows open directly onto the street. The "dawn chorus" of roosters and dogs was difficult to sleep through.

It was a unique home to stay in. It was quiet and in a more rural location. The neighbours were friendly and welcoming too! It was handy to have a basic kitchen to make meals in. The only thing I didn't like was the floor tile in the bathrooms. It was uncomfortable on bare feet. Otherwise, good place to stay.

Staying at the traditional Cretan house was perhaps the highlight of the trip to Crete. The property is 20km from the city, but easily accessible if you have a car, however there are cab and bus service. The experience of a small welcoming Cretan village is enveloping. The small cafe,grocery stores and the second floor restaurant recommended by the owner, Popi, was outstanding....totally unexpected in a small town...broad selection of menus choices. Nice option to have if you don't want to drive in the dark on mountain roads. The owner, Popi was helpful friendly and a great host. Similar to another reviewer, I missed the 'notify the host of arrival time' request, and had a moment or two of anxiety which was quickly allayed by the villagers, confirming that indeed I was in the right place. Don't be put off by the drive, its lovely. In the heart of wine country.

We absolutely loved this "hotel"-- more a small-scale restoration project in a small Cretan village. I saw some of the reviews that complained about having to wait to get in, etc.-- I think perhaps they don't have the right frame of mind. The confirmation does request to notify the host of an arrival time-- I failed to notice this, and so we had a few drinks at a local cafe after we contacted the host. The apartments are beautifully restored, the village is authentic and non-touristy, and the restaurant recommended by the host was one of our best meals. As long as you come in with the right expectations, this is a great find.

Located in a small village, the owner drove it to let us into our room. We had to wait a bit at the nearby cafe...which was lovely! She was gracious and showed us around the apartments. She tidied the rooms a bit during our arrival. We checked into the room and had planned to cook in the kitchen, but found limited selections in the nearby stores. We decided to eat at a nearby restaurant. The owner went with us and we had a great evening! We met several of the local people and she discussed life in Crete with us. We only stayed one night, but would have enjoyed exploring the town more. Great unexpected experience!
