Alles vorhanden, was nötig ist und noch mehr.GemĂŒtlich eingerichtet, volle Ausstattung, zum WohlfĂŒhlen. Alle elektrischen GerĂ€te funktionsfĂ€hig. Alle Beleuchtungen ok. Fliegengitter vor allen Fenstern.Zwei Terassen, Carport. Nahe der HauptstraĂe und doch ganz ruhig. Sitia schnell erreichbar. Klasse Restaurant fuĂlĂ€ufig erreichber.Zwei Treppenstufen zwischen Wohnbereich und KĂŒche/Wohnbereich gewöhnungsbedĂŒrftig. Kein vernĂŒnftiger Strand im Umkreis.Sehr empfehlenswert.
Eine sehr schöne FeWo, die mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet ist und der Ausstattung fehlt es wirklich an nichts. Die zwei Terrassen kann man je nach Wetter wĂ€hlen, es ist beidseitig schön ruhig und begrĂŒnt. Einziges Manko ist die etwas irrefĂŒhrende Formulierung, der Strand sei 350 m vom Haus entfernt. Das Meer ist 350 m entfernt, aber es ist kein Strand; zum Baden sind wir immer ein paar Kilometer gefahren. Aber ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt, auch die Gegend ist schön ruhig und (noch) nicht zugebaut oder ĂŒberlaufen. B & C aus Deutschland
We had a lovely week! Thank you very much for the warm and friendly welcome, for the delicious cake and the tasty fruits. We enjoyed our time very much. The house is wonderful. Big recommendation!
PS: We love the olive oil! Thank you also for that :-)

Wunderschöne Tage in einem gemĂŒtlichen Haus mit einem tollen Gastgeber
Das Haus liegt sehr schön in einem groĂen Garten umgeben von Palmen, mit alten Oliven-, Limetten-, Feigen- und GranatapfelbĂ€umen. Die Terrasse ist mit einer alten BourgavilĂ€e eingewachsen. Dem Stil und Aufbau des Hauses merkt man an, das es von einer Frau entworfen wurde. Es ist gemĂŒtlich und praktisch zugleich. AuĂerdem glĂ€nzt es mit einer sehr schönen Einrichtung. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.

Traumhaft
Das Haus entspricht genau der Beschreibung, was Ausstattung und Lage betrifft. Die Vermieter ( Vater und Sohn) sind sehr nett, immer ansprechbar und erreichbar. Sie gaben uns wertvolle Tips, was AusflĂŒge, Restaurants und BadestrĂ€nde betraf. Der Orangenkuchen zur BegrĂŒssung schmeckte einfach köstlich. Immer wieder gern.

Avoid this "house" at all costs
The house was so deceiving from its description that we chose to leave it to find a hotel and lose our deposit. It was dirty, the floors, table and all kitchen surfaces were sticky. On the table an old half eaten dried up cake welcomed us!! The shower was not high enough to stand up in and its tiles had not been cleaned in years. There was no standing room in the tiny bathroom/toilet. The 2 tiny bedrooms had only space for the bed/beds with no space to put down a suitcase, or anywhere else in the tiny place. There was only AC in the tiny living room and cats were running around from outside inside. If you are allergic to cats it is a nighttmare. The carpet in the living room was old and full of cat hairs. The house is advertised as being juxtaposed with another house. Truth is that there is also a 3rd house permanently rented touching this one. So this house is stuck between them. All this again on a tiny scale. Very claustrophobic. Lastly, it is about 5 km from the town of Sitia with absolutely nothing around it.
This is a first time in the many years that i rented via Home Away that i had a negative experience, particularly at this level.

Lovely place in an excellent location for exploring the wonderful eastern beaches
The property is charming, and in good condition. The hosts are also absolutely charming and really helpful, so if you need any information or advice it is readily available. we wanted one or two extra bits for the kitchen and they appeared almost immediately- can't ask for more.
I would certainly stay again.

Ruhiger Ort zum Erholen
Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt, sind zu Hause angekommen.
Bei unserer Ankunft stand ein lecker Orangenkuchen fĂŒr uns bereit und das Olivenöl ist super, das wir ĂŒber unseren kompletten Aufenthalt zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt bekommen haben.
Die Beschreibung und Bilder entsprechen dem vor Ort, die Wohnung ist sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man benötig.
Der "Gardener" ist immer hilfsbereit, wir haben gerne mit Ihm GesprĂ€che ĂŒber Gott und die Welt gefĂŒhrt.
Gerne kommen wir wieder an diesen Ort zurĂŒck.

Rundum ein Erlebnis
Wir haben ein Ferienhaus erlebt, das alle Anforderungen erfĂŒllte. Dazu ein ĂŒberaus freundlicher Vermieter, der uns mit einem Orangenkuchen begrĂŒĂte und alle WĂŒnsche (es waren nur kleine) umgehend erfĂŒllte. Eine beeindruckende Landschaft verbunden mit gutem Wetter vervollstĂ€ndigten unsere rundum tolle Urlaubszeit.

Sehr empfehlenswert!
Wir haben Anfang Juni zwei wunderbare Wochen im Haus Oleander verbracht. Die Wohnung ist gut gepflegt und im englischen Landhausstil gemĂŒtlich sowie qualitativ hochwertig eingerichtet. Das Haus Oleander ist das Mittlere in einer Reihe von drei. Obwohl, die beiden andern HĂ€user direkt angebaut sind, bleibt die PrivatsphĂ€re gewahrt. Die HĂ€user liegen inmitten eines grossen gepflegten Gartens mit Palmen, Blumen, KrĂ€utern und Weinreben. In diesem Garten konnte sich unsere fĂŒnfjĂ€hrige Tochter frei und gefahrlos bewegen. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Spielplatz fĂŒr Kinder. Von den Gastgebern wurden wir mit einem Orangencake â die SpezialitĂ€t von Kate â und einer Flasche Wein empfangen. In der KĂŒche stand ein KĂ€nnchen mit Lefterisâ eigenem Olivenöl zum Brauchen. Auch bei den KrĂ€utern im Garten durften wir uns zum Kochen bedienen. Besonders genossen haben wir die spontanen GesprĂ€che ĂŒber die Welt und das Leben mit Lefteris, der ein ebenso kompetenter wie interessanter GesprĂ€chspartner ist.Von Agia Fotia aus lassen sich mit dem Auto verschiedene TagesausflĂŒge machen. In einer halben Stunde Fahrdistanz liegen verschiedene StrĂ€nde. Einige davon sind traumhafte SandstrĂ€nde, die sich auf fĂŒr kleine Kinder bestens eignen.
Wir fĂŒhlten uns von Anfang an sehr wohl und willkommen. Vielen Dank fĂŒr alles! Gerne werden wir wieder kommen.

Beautiful secluded location
Clean, well-equipped and comfortable house set in beautiful secluded grounds with immaculate gardens, palms and grape vines.
Helpful and welcoming hosts.
10 minutes drive from Sitia, with shops, supermarkets and large weekly market.
In Sitia, try 'Sitia Beach' for good food (not just pizza) and 'Mitsakakis' for galactoboureko and loukoumades.
Clean sandy town beach in Sitia. Sheltered (pebble) beaches on north coast below Faneromenis monastery for swimming and snorkelling.
Easy driving distance for excellent gorge walks at Riktis (shady, wooded, with waterfall and swimming hole), Zakros (excellent tavernas in Kato Zakros), Koklakies (swimming from deserted beach at foot of gorge).
