Scalarea Estate Residences
Very nice room with a lovely view over the vines. Breakfast was wonderful and generous with everything homemade, served on the private terrace. A short drive to tavernas in the local villages, and only about 15 mins into Heraklion.

Private paradise with heated pool Peace, comfort. Goddess and large garden
Vagelis was a wonderful host and his villa and garden were perfect for our 3-generation family holiday. We arrived at a very unsocial hour and Vagelis was there to welcome us and share delicious local provisions to start our holiday.Highly recommended.

A house by the sea.
We loved staying in Tsoutsouros- the house was perfect for our family- v. close to the sea with everything we needed. Lots of good cafes and restaurants nearby. We really enjoyed the meal Eleni cooked for us.
