We had the most wonderful stay in this beautifully renovated house nestled in a peaceful valley in the Mesara Plain. Surrounded by orange groves and with the majestic Psiloritis mountains in the distance, it truly felt like a hidden gem.The house is very comfortable and clean, has everything you need, with tasteful design touches like stone arches that echo the heritage of old Greek architecture. It’s located right at the edge of a small, authentic village, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the center where we found cozy cafés and some amazing local tavernas.The beach is only a short drive away, but we loved how serene and quiet the area was—ideal for a couple's getaway. The nearby old church adds a peaceful, timeless feel to the whole setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay—relaxing, beautiful, and full of authentic Cretan atmosphere.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a romantic escape or a quiet retreat in southern Crete! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51180106-d258-4439-af46-2ed5888b33d5-1745564228056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2dd45a0a-933a-4196-bc34-6783b15ab9ce-1745564300263.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jan F.
