Characterful Property
Beautiful setting in a small village. Views across to the hills to the south and plenty of nearby places to explore. Five minute walk to the local bakery, so fresh, warm bread every morning. also there is a small shop with its own butchery attached. Top quality pork chops - like they used to be.

Paradise in Crete
We loved staying here! The property is an old mill building in the quiet village of Agios Konstadinos in the Rethymno region of Crete. The property comprises a double bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and then across a beautiful courtyard where we spent many an evening eating, chatting and playing games, a further twin room with toilet and sink etc. There is a great pool which has to have the best view of any pool I've ever swam in - surrounded by mountains. Locally, there is a bakery and a mini-market and it is only a 20 minute drive to the large (and vibrant) town of Rethymno. You can choose which coast you prefer - the quieter, wilder South Coast and the resort of Plakias or the slightly more touristy north coast and the resorts of Episkopi and Georgiopoulis. There is also stunning Lake Kournas within easy driving distance. It would not be advisable to stay at the property without a car. If you happen to be into cycling (I am!) then you have so much to choose from right from the beautiful lavender-blue front door! As a host, Didier was attentive (he lives on site in a separate area) but always respectful of our privacy. We couldn't have asked for more. Overall, we cannot recommend this property highly enough. We will definitely return!

PISCINE AVEC VUE SUR COLLINES
Gite atypique. Déconnection assurée. Cour ombrée très agréable. Piscine appréciable lors des chaudes journée. Très bien placé à 20 mn des plages du nord et 30 mn de celles du sud, et central pour rayonner dans la région. Didier est un hôte très agréable et discret. Nous recommandons vivement.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft liegt günstig zwischen Nord- und Südküste, sodass man beide in ca 3 Minuten erreicht. Der Vermieter wohnt zwar im gleichen Gebäude, ist aber sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, aber keinesfalls aufdringlich und den Innenhof hat man ganz für sich.

Liebevoll renoviertes Haus
Die Fewo liegt sehr ruhig in den Bergen. Ohne Auto geht nichts. Man ist aber innerhalb von einer halben Stunde an der Nord oder Südküste. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dorthin fahren.

Petit paradis au vert et loin des foules
Vous aimez le calme, les cigales et la vie locale? Ce lieu était parfait, pour nos vacances en famille. Didier notre hôte, est très sympathique, discret et de bon conseil. Superbe piscine privative au milieu des oliviers avec une vue imprenable sur la nature Crétoise. les Pièces de vie sont spacieuses et très bien équipées. Le Patio privatif est très agréable et ombragé a souhait pour profiter des repas estivales a la "fraiche". Véhicules impératifs. Commerces de proximité a 500 mètres, Plages a 15Km Wie haben uns vom ersten Tag an wie zuhause gefûhlt......Wir werden gerne wiederkommen! Vielen Dank fûr den fantastischen Aufenthalt.

Ferienhaus mit Flair
Wir waren 10 Tage in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Die Lage: Ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf. Mit dem Auto ist man in 15 Minuten an verschiedenen Tarvernen. Zum Strand sind es ca 30 Minuten. Wer Abends ein Trubel möchte ist in 25 Minuten in Rethymnon. Das Haus: Idylle pur. Zentraler Punkt ist der tolle Innenhof mit dem Schatten spendenen Baum in der Mitte. Von dort gehen die Räume ab. Alles im Innehof gut beleuchtet, das man dort gemeinsam auch mal was machen kann. Das ist nicht überall so. Alle Zimmer haben einen Mückenschutz an den Fenstern, somit kann man wunderbar Nachts durchlüften. Der Pool liegt im grünen mit vernünftigen Schirmen und Liegen. Alles neu. Einziger Kritikpunkt, eventuell sollten die Untensilien in der Küche ein wenig erweitert werden und das Wlan für die social media Generation ist zu schwach ! Didier als Gastgeber ist immer erreichbar bei Problemen oder Fragen, ansonsten ist man ungestört. Fazit: Tolle Unterkunft, toller Pool, 100% Weiterempfehlung.

Ein kleines Paradies in zentraler Insellage
Unser Feriendomizil hat wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass wir einen wunderschönen Kreta-Urlaub genossen haben. Die zentrale Lage des Hauses, der Pool als Alternative zum Meer, der charmante Innenhof als willkommene Pause im Schatten oder für einen ausklingenden Abend. Für die Küche war alles da, was man so braucht. Falls wir eine Frage hatten, war Monsieur Lamarre immer ansprechbar und gab uns wertvolle Tipps. Wir vermissen Nikiforou Foka und werden nicht das letzte Mal dort gewesen sein.

Schöne Ruheoase in den Bergen
Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Hr. Lamarre empfangen. Er wohnt mit seinen drei gut erzogenen zurückhaltenden Hunden ebenfalls auf dem Anwesen, ist aber kaum wahrnehmbar. Das Anwesen war Dank Google Maps problemlos zu finden. Wer die Ruhe sucht ist hier genau richtig. In ca. 15 Minuten ist man aber an einem der vielen Strände und in gut 20 Minuten ist man in Rethymnon. In dem kleinen Ort gibt es einen Mini-Markt. Die Restaurants mussten leider wegen Corona schließen. In 10 Minuten Fahrtzeit gibt es jedoch schöne Tavernen. Die Unterkunft war geräumig und sehr sauber. Bei großer Hitze spendet der Gummibaum im Innenhof ausreichend Schatten. Der schöne Innenhof ist der zentrale gemütliche Platz, von welchem sich alle Räumlichkeiten der Unterkunft erschließen. Vom Pool aus hat man einen großartigen Blick auf die umliegenden Berge. Wir verbrachten einen wunderschönen, erholsamen und abwechslungsreichen Urlaub und können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank an Hr. Lamarre.
