What a beautiful place (nice and clean)! Top location to explore the eastern part of Crete. We enjoyed the wonderful villa and it’s quiet garden a lot.

It’s a lovely place to call home in Crete’s eastern region. Sitia is a 5 minute drive, Toplou Monastery is 20, Vai is 30, Agios Nikolaos is an hour. It’s quite private, which makes for a really peaceful and pleasant stay. Emmanuel is a kind and helpful host who gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. He has curated a stunning garden that surrounds the home and has kept the space itself clean and welcoming. We greatly enjoyed our mornings making coffee in the provided French press and sipping it on the back porch while looking out over the Mediterranean and petting the cats that have taken up residence nearby. It’s paradise, plain and simple. Next time we’re out east, we’ll definitely look this place back up.

All the reviews are accurate – this property is peaceful, beautiful, a little bit rugged. Minimalist, sparse in the best way, this is not a luxury experience, but is very, very comfortable. There is a magical quality about the house/garden -- a feeling that only grows with time. The upper floor living is spacious with expansive views. The kitchen does not have a dishwasher or oven, but is well-equipped. Downstairs bedrooms are large, with big, comfy beds. Location feels remote, but is a short drive to Siteia. Sadly, the direct beach was too rough during our stay, but we very much enjoyed exploring incredible beaches nearby. Emmanuel offers excellent suggestions; he is an attentive, receptive host. His response to some reviews is a bit defensive, but this is wonderful place. A few extra touches would be easy and make the experience even better: new living room furniture, new/softer towels; complete bedding sets/pillows; bath products; a fresh kitchen sponge. Lovely experience and host.

Magical. If you had to define the specialness of this place in a single word, that comes close. There are so many others: chic, cool, super-comfy, calming… and we relished every minute of our week in this far-from-the-madding-crowd retreat with its glorious secret garden by the sea. It’s the most idyllic spot to chill, to the soothing soundtrack of waves, cicadas and the occasional mew of Dingo, one of the sweet cats who kept us company. Emmanuel was an attentive, responsive host: calling us from Paris on our arrival to check we were settled in and happy, and sharing excellent recommendations for local beaches and eateries. We really cannot wait to return.
