Yiannis Cottage is situated in a small village in W. Crete, set above Spilia's Myrtidiotissa Church, with it's magnificent painted interior. Indulge yourself around your own beautiful private Pool, listening to bird-song and enjoying the scent of fragrant flowers. Every year we made some changes in order to have a better and higher quality stay. Our pool is salted, which means that we won't use chlorine, so the pool is totally ecological. We made also the pool heated for the colder months of the season (Spring and Autumn). 2 new big wooden sunbeds and a perfect for relaxing nest are provided to you. We brought even closer nature to you and your table with more fruits and vegetables from our garden and fresh eggs from a new small hennery a few meters away from the Cottage. The design of the outdoor space was based on plants that grow at the area , as well as on local building materials. The only thing you need to do is to care about our plants. Yiannis Cottage is provided with the special sign of the Greek Tourist Organization (EOT-1354121504) which secures the quality level of all services, terms and conditions our guests have the privilege to enjoy during their stay. Enjoy the pleasures of the local tavernas, or eat by your Pool on warm balmy evenings. Whether you are looking for a totally relaxing, or a more adventurous holiday, you will find that Yiannis Cottage is the perfect base. Welcome pack.: A welcome pack will await you in the Cottage, consisting of traditional fresh organic products. For you to enjoy leisurely breakfasts on your terrace overlooking the Pool, there is a breakfast pack consisting of a bottle of olive oil from the olive trees near the Cottage, bread, natural juices, eggs, bacon, tomatos, honey and butter. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Massage - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Only in the outside area ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains ### Things to do - Heated pool - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19960000/19955600/19955586/73b74c62.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ideally located, Villa katerina with salted Heated pool,to explore West Crete!
