Greece, Crete, Green Farm-small paradise!

Ce petit paradis se mérite

Absolutely wonderful.

A real gem! Tucked away with total privacy. The house is fully equipped with all mod cons and the garden and pool were delightful. Our host was so accommodating and helpful. The dog, goats,kittens and chickens all added to our experience.

An Ideal Cretan countryside holiday home

These trips are often about managing expectations and the property is very much as advertised. You need to like animals, as dogs, cats and chickens (the latter a useful source of fresh eggs!) live on the property, but all are friendly! The village is less than half an hour from Heraklion airport, but a world away in terms of peace and nature and there are several good walks within 30-45 minutes drive. The swimming pool is a little cooler in October, but very refreshing. There are great views from the garden and all the previous reviews are accurate, although with the recent earthquake, there are several local road diversions and you soon get used to the tremors! Maria's husband Vangelis is on hand for as little or as much help as required. If your looking for a mix of fresh air and relaxation, this is an ideal place.

Ruhe und authentisches Griechenland

Wir sind immer auf der Suche nach einem abgelegenem Häuschen mit privatem Pool und schöner Umgebung. Das haben wir hier alles genau gefunden! Das Haus hat alles was man benötigt, der Garten ist traumhaft schön und das Örtchen Melesses niedlich und verschlafen. Ein Auto ist unbedingt notwendig und wenn man die Wahl hat, dann sollte man nicht unbedingt einen Kleinwagen mit wenig PS nehmen. Das Gelände ist sehr uneben und mit unserem VW up hatten wir ein paar kleine Problemchen aber alles halb so wild :) Vagelis hat uns herzlich empfangen und jeden Tag mit frischen Eiern, Obst aus dem Garten und guter Laune versorgt. Die beiden Hunde Vito und Chiara sind zwei Herzstücke und leben auch die ganze Zeit mit auf dem Anwesen. Der Charme ist doch eher Ländlich und erinnert an einem Bauernhof, das muss einem bewusst sein aber es war wirklich traumhaft schön! Wir kommen wieder!!

Tolle Lage und super sympathischer Gastgeber

Die Unterkunft hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Kommunikation mit Vangelis war sehr nett und unkompliziert und ein früher Check-In kein Problem. Vangelis hat uns persönlich und sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen und uns mit Eiern und Ziegenmilch aus eigener Produktion versorgt. Unseren ganzen Aufenthalt über war er problemlos erreichbar. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig und abgeschieden - perfekt zum Entspannen aber auch sehr nah bei Heraklion, Knossos und Archanes. Ein Auto braucht man allerdings. Dem Haus fehlt es an nichts und auch die Küche ist super ausgestattet. Nicht zu vergessen die aufmerksame Begleitung durch Hofhund Vito. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können diese Unterkunft vorbehaltlos empfehlen!
