Cadre magnifique, au calme, propriétaires très accueillants. Cuisine locale excellente.
Einsam mitten in den Bergen und doch recht nah am Meer (2km). Ideal für einen romatischen Urlaub. Zum Einkaufen ist es recht weit und man läuft schnell Gefahr, auf Geröllpisten vom Charakter einer Rally Wertungsprüfung zu geraten, wenn man Google Maps vertraut. Für alle Strecken sehr viel Zeit einplanen, die Küste ist dafür wunderbar und fast menschenleer. Herrlliche Natur zum Wandern.
Located in a very remote part of southern Crete. Incredible scenery of mountains and the sea. You will need a car to travel out here and to get around. Be ready for some off road driving and narrow and steep winding mountain roads. About 2-2.5hr drive from Heraklion / Chania. The houses are beautiful, very clean and very comfortable.
We stayed for 5 nights at Vrachos Villas in October. We stayed in the 2-storey villa at the topmost point of the resort. This had a lovely upstairs balcony which gave fabulous sea and mountain views. It was lovely to watch the sunset while having an evening meal on the balcony. There is also a table/chairs outside the front door which we made use of. The bottom floor was a large open plan living room with kitchenette with everything you need - fridge/freezer, electric hob for cooking and toilet. Upstairs had a bathroom/toilet and large bedroom. There was plenty of space for a couple. It was the quietest location on the resort.
When I say "resort" it's only about 7 quiet villas altogether with a little taverna for evening meals/breakfast, and very cosy. It's in a really lovely section of Southern Crete - very mountainous, quite a challenge to drive there. Very very quiet! If you enjoy peace and quiet, away from crowds, to enjoy nature without people, this is the perfect place to stay. If you want nightlife or entertainment, then this is definitely not for you - better to stay on the north of the island if you want all that.
The only improvements to make this stay even more perfect is - perhaps a toaster, and a Wifi booster in these furthest villas. It was possible to get a Wifi signal outside on the balcony, but not inside.

Comfortable and clean
Reasonably priced accommodation which was comfortable and clean. Swimming pool and restaurant provided excellent local amenities. You will need a car to get to beach and other restaurants
Belle destination perdue près de belles plages (atteignables en voiture et parfois sur des routes de sable difficilement praticables). Les maisonettes sont confortables même si la clim n'est pas idéale vu leur imposante dimension qu'elles n'arrivent pas vraiment à rafraichir.
La famille qui détient l'hôtel est gentille. Aux alentours, c'est un peu le 'désert. On mange donc le soir à l'hôtel. La nourriture est bonne mais un peu chère. (50 euros à 3 contre 35 dans une taverne traditionnelle.
