The village was filled with friendly residents who greeted us daily and we came and went and we ate dinner four nights at the Golden Cage which we loved (it was a quick walk). I would highly recommend this lovely place. ##### Diane V. Stayed 20 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva T. 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My husband and I loved this beautifully restored property in a quiet, authentic Greek village away from the crowds. Balcony views across the valley were amazing. The garden area for breakfast was another favourite. Manolis, the owner, was very helpful with the check in process and made recommendations for our time there. He was super responsive whenever I communicated with him, and we were appreciative of his thoughtful gestures such as the fruit platter and wine on arrival. The village has a fabulous restaurant, The Golden Cage, which serves fantastic food. There is no mini market any more in the village. However, it’s approximately a 10 minute drive to the nearest supermarket in the town of Kokkini Hani, which also has a nice and calm sandy beach. If you’re arriving late in the day or in the evening, I suggest you bring your own breakfast supplies with you. A most unique and memorable stay! ##### Eva T.

I recommend if you want to stay out of the hustle of the city have a quiet time then this is the place. ##### Les S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert W. 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Very large, rustic, beautifully restored building to keep its charm. Large living area, and only once enclosed bedroom. The other bedroom doesn't have a door but is just separated by a curtain. It has 2 bathrooms, and the upstairs one has a tub. The downstairs one has a small shower where the water tends to get the whole room wet. The area is a bit complicated to navigate with a car and even google maps. You have a good chance of going through roads that are very narrow, and almost getting stuck. Once we figured it out after a couple of days though, we were fine. Kokkini Hanni beach is a short driving trip away, which was one of our favorite beaches on our trip. It's also not far to Knossos to see the ruins there. The owner was a very nice gentleman that helped us with any issues we had. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Robert W.

It has a beautiful view of the countryside, way up high on the mountain top and it overlooks a lovely monastery. We loved that it had two bathrooms and two bedrooms. This is a very roomy home. I could have spent a month here enjoying the solitude as we love being in small mountain villages. The owner has thought of everything. We felt right at home. ##### Chris S.

Walking up into the hills in the evening as the sun is going down is lovely. It is just a short drive into the many tavernas of Kokkini Hani where we enjoyed many tasty meals, so all in all an excellent holiday. ##### John D.

The house was well equipped and felt like a home . Manolis was a very kind and helpful man who gave good advice on local tavernas and places to visit. The village is close to shops, beach , and restaurants in Kokkini Hani ,we visited the aquarium in Gournes which was very good. ##### Irene D.
