Surrounded by Olive groves and flowers all around we've had great views by day overlooking the Messara bay or the hills in the western part. And the sunset in the evening was magical. The house is extremely well equipped and inside and outside decorated with a lot of love. From the first moment we felt like being at home. Everything is like the description we've got. The place is far enough from mainstream and near enough for all activities people would like. But best of all ! Our host Eleni and her husband Andreas. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Thank you for your warm welcome with a traditional Raki, for our first evening meal prepared by Eleni. Thanks a lot for all the little and big things you've done to make our stay extremely special. You're incredibly friendly and we felt a bit beeing old friends. We can recommend a stay at Eleni's house completely. ##### Uwe E. Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2019 ---
