Windmill holiday great experience
A very unusual and quirky place to stay, it has been converted to a comfortable holiday home on a number of levels ( so you need to have full mobility). Our host was very warm and welcoming and we had some very interesting conversations. the beds were very comfortable , the kitchen was well equipped too. It was a peaceful location set in beautiful gardens off the main road but it was very easy to visit the next village of Palekastro for shopping and eating in the tavernas. Not far into Siteia if you want a busier place. The courtyard is a lovely place to sit to take in the atmosphere. We would recommend for couples and small groups. If you enjoy touring and exploring there are some lovely beaches within 20 to 50 minutes drives depending on your choices. If you like quiet and peaceful beaches try Itanos and Xerocampos. A great holiday, will return.

Perfect stay at a perfect property
The Anomemili rental is on a beautiful estate with a view of the ocean. It was comfortable, the hosts were caring and fixed anything that needed fixing right away. I was welcomed by Lefetris and Despina with cookies and they checked in periodically to see I had no problems. The place itself is immaculate with a weekly cleaner. The grounds are a delight. In short, I will probably go back because it was a perfect place.

Lovely and relaxing
My husband and I have just enjoyed a lovely and relaxing week in this beautiful windmill. It’s lovely and secluded so would recommend a car if you want to explore the island but equally if you just want to relax the surroundings are simply beautiful. The windmill is decorated with so much attention to detail and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owners are lovely and we enjoyed talking to them too. All in all a wonderful week and we would definitely recommend.

Didn't want to leave
Such a beautiful property perfect for a relaxing holiday away. Lefteris was a wonderful host, it was great to have a chat with him here and there and sample some fruit from his orchard on site. The veranda is gorgeous with a nice view of the sea perfect for having your meals or just hanging out, with the wind it's cool almost all day. The rooms inside are simple but have everything you need - do be aware that there are stairs going into each room. This property is most ideal for people looking to relax in a serene environment away from the usual tourist sites, you definitely need a car to get around. That being said, Sitia is less than 10 min away, it's quite charming with a nice promenade full of bars and restaurants. The only thing I regret is that I didn't stay here longer.

Relaxing and beautiful place to stay
The windmill was perfect for our family, beautifully furnished and with amazing scenery in a quiet location. Communication with the host (and his father who showed us in and gave us his top tips) was excellent. We loved day trips to Spinalonga and the beaches on the South coast, around 20-30 minutes drive away from the windmill. We also had lots of good meals in Sitia and around Sitia, particularly at Inodion, To Limani and Elena’s in Palaikastron. You will need a car but the drives along the coast are spectacular! Kids loved the cats too.

Windmill stay
This quirky, lovely old windmill situated in a lovely garden and olive grove is a relaxing and beautiful place to stay. Its close to the small town of Sitea, the stunning East coast beaches and the mountains and so there is plenty to do and see.

Beautiful windmill- perfectly appointed with wonderful hosts.
We had such a wonderful time at the windmill. It’s a great base from which to explore the east on Crete. The windmill was beautiful- clean and comfortable, with everything you could need. Pantelis sent us very useful and informative emails prior to our stay and Lefteris gave us lots of tips about where to go and was a fountain of Cretan knowledge. There was plenty of space for the children to play including some sweet little swings. It was just lovely- we highly recommend it!
