Perfect stay
Very spacious house in quiet surrounding, 15 min from Falassarna Beach and 5 min from next village. Nice pool, huge and cosy terrace with shade and cool rooms (June). Can absolutely recommend the place!

Maison pas à la hauteur des prestations annoncées au regard du prix payé
Emplacement très sympa, à l'écart des foules, tranquille avec le voisinage mais malgré que nous avions des locataires omniprésents : 4 chats avaient élus domicile dans la maison et sur l'ensemble des coussins du patio...:- Maison qui malheureusement ne correspond pas aux photos annoncées alors que rénovée elle pourrait être superbe et très agréable : salle de bain vétuste avec de nombreuses installations du passé désormais manquantes et peintures vieillissantes, rouille sur le carrelage, tuyau de douche percé, lumières manquantes, évacuation des eaux défaillantes qui refluaient. ; peinture qui s'écaille dans les chambres, fenêtres qui ne ferment pas et les volets abîmés et cassés depuis longtemps ; lits corrects en taille mais propreté laissant à désirer, oreillers jaunis pour certains ; prises électriques sortant du mur , parfois défaillantes ; sèche-cheveux et fer à repasser sont plus proche du jouet que d'un véritable appareil. Compte tenu du prix payé pour cette maison, dans la cuisine il manque certains appareils : une cafetière électrique ( nous en avons acheté une), un micro-onde... La piscine est un peu petite en largeur mais agréable quand elle est propre ! Elle verdisait très vite ! Le rapport qualité/ prix n'est absolument pas celui que l'on attend d'un maison loué à ce prix (14 jours à près de 6500€) et au regard du marché local : cette maison est surévaluée d'au moins 40%! Notre correspondante, a été très sympa et très réactive cependant !

Has potential but needs a clean up
The house is in a nice spot, with great views and fairly close to Balos and Falassarna. It looks like it is currently being renovated so be prepared to some chipped paint and some 'unfinished' rooms. The property is still quite cool. Main problem for us was that the house was sooo dirty. There are a bunch of cats living there and all the pillows outside are so full of cat hair you really don't want to sit on them. A storage box would help. Lots of dust and dirt everywhere, and the last two nights we were all eaten up by the bed bugs. Not fun. Although communication with the house manager was easy, a couple of repairs that were required were not attended to.

Beautiful journey!
La casa era bellissima e con tutti i comfort. Vicinissima alle spiagge più belle di Creta, il paesino di Kissamos con supermercati negozietti e ristoranti tipici era a 10 minuti di macchina. La nostra host, Rodo, è stata carinissima e sempre disponibile.Ci ha consigliato tanti locali e servizi vicini. Abbiamo goduto della splendida piscina e i bambini si sono divertiti tantissimo. Stanze da letto comodissime. Che dire…la vacanza perfetta in una location splendida! Spero di poterci tornare presto! Grazie Creta e grazie Rodo!

Why they chose this property

We looked in Spain and France for a property but thought it all looked to busy. The Crete House was chosen for it's looks. The property has it's original beautiful stone work down stairs and upstairs are 4 very slick rooms. We just love the location as it close to one of Crete's most beautiful beeches - Flassarna. Plus has good quality night life in Kasteli.

What makes this property unique

The main benefits of the property: Great location with it's own swimming pool and close to fantastic beaches. Villa is home friendly and does not have that cold 'rental' feeling. Beautiful beds - 3 of the rooms have amazing 2m x 2m.
