8/10 Very good

It was a unique home to stay in. It was quiet and in a more rural location. The neighbours were friendly and welcoming too! It was handy to have a basic kitchen to make meals in. The only thing I didn't like was the floor tile in the bathrooms. It was uncomfortable on bare feet. Otherwise, good place to stay.

Away from the chaos of Heraklion
Staying at the traditional Cretan house was perhaps the highlight of the trip to Crete. The property is 20km from the city, but easily accessible if you have a car, however there are cab and bus service. The experience of a small welcoming Cretan village is enveloping. The small cafe,grocery stores and the second floor restaurant recommended by the owner, Popi, was outstanding....totally unexpected in a small town...broad selection of menus choices. Nice option to have if you don't want to drive in the dark on mountain roads. The owner, Popi was helpful friendly and a great host. Similar to another reviewer, I missed the 'notify the host of arrival time' request, and had a moment or two of anxiety which was quickly allayed by the villagers, confirming that indeed I was in the right place. Don't be put off by the drive, its lovely. In the heart of wine country.

Vibe, style and real cretan hodpitality
The apartment us large and fully equipped with two bathrooms s and a large dining room. It is fully furnished with stylish pieces of furniture from Greece and India. Every detail if the apartment is accurately selected. A suggested choice 25 minutes driving from the city center of Candia.

A great find
We absolutely loved this "hotel"-- more a small-scale restoration project in a small Cretan village. I saw some of the reviews that complained about having to wait to get in, etc.-- I think perhaps they don't have the right frame of mind. The confirmation does request to notify the host of an arrival time-- I failed to notice this, and so we had a few drinks at a local cafe after we contacted the host. The apartments are beautifully restored, the village is authentic and non-touristy, and the restaurant recommended by the host was one of our best meals. As long as you come in with the right expectations, this is a great find.

Great stay!
Located in a small village, the owner drove it to let us into our room. We had to wait a bit at the nearby cafe...which was lovely! She was gracious and showed us around the apartments. She tidied the rooms a bit during our arrival. We checked into the room and had planned to cook in the kitchen, but found limited selections in the nearby stores. We decided to eat at a nearby restaurant. The owner went with us and we had a great evening! We met several of the local people and she discussed life in Crete with us. We only stayed one night, but would have enjoyed exploring the town more. Great unexpected experience!

4/10 Fair

Traditional Cretan House - Requires Attention
No useable internet. Cooking and eating utensils are inadequate, poor quality and were not clean. Basic cleaning and other materials not supplied - eg no bathmat - concrete floor, no chux or similar, no tea towel,.... No shower curtain so bathroom floods when one has a shower - requires proper shower doors to be fitted. Heating turned off without warning the last night. TV is very small, inconveniently placed in the apartment, very old (set top box) and did not work properly. Only Greek channels available. No change of towels (stayed 4 nights) despite asking. We had to make the bed ourselves.

Nice out of the way place to stay
We did not actually stay overnight. I booked the house and did not realize the interior included a tight spiral stair for access to the Bedroom above the Living Room. My wife has vertigo problems and could not deal with the thought of climbing that stair. The owner was very understanding and cancelled our stay without cost. Otherwise the place looked charming with very nice views of the valley below. The old stone houses have been nicely renovated with care and have character. I wish we could have stayed.
