Guest Reviews

- Gabriela (10/5): - Traumhafter Blick aufs Meer von der Schlafzimmer Terrasse aus, die Maisonette mit den dicken Steinwänden, die Küche war mit allem was wir brauchen ausgestattet, wir haben sogar gekocht. Die herrliche Ruhelage in der wunderschönen Landschaft, die zentrale Lage, der Vai Palmenstrand ist mit dem Auto in kurzer Zeir zu erreichen, fußläufig der Strand von Kouremenos. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben. Das Bett quietscht, man muß sich zurückhalten 😀
- Cristina (10/5): Wunderbar. Danke Isabelle! - Architektur und Lage. Alles gut.
- CATHERINE (7/5): Dommage l'endroit est magnifique pour faire du windsurf et faire du wingfoil - La vue depuis la location , le calme. Nous sommes arrivés et un problème de fuite au niveau des toilettes était présent nous avons appelé la propriétaire qui est venu à resserrer une petite vis derrière la chasse d'eau mais pendant la nuit lorsque nous sommes levés nous avions encore les pieds dans l'eau. Le lendemain j'ai donc rappelé la propriétaire qui est revenu et nous a annoncé à notre retour le soir que la fuite était réparée mais malheureusement elle était toujours existante. Monsieur lendemain à la fait venir un plombier qui a réparé la fuite. Elle nous a gentiment proposé de nous changer d'appartement mais nous partons le lendemain donc nous sommes restés dans le même. Nous avions loué pour trois nuits c'est un peu dommage d'avoir eu ce problème mais c'est la faute à pas de chance. La maison a été conçue de telle sorte que lorsque vous ouvrez les portes fenêtres donnant côté piscine et vue sur la mer si vous ouvrez la porte d'entrée de l'autre côté tout claque. Le deuxième problème que nous avons connu c'est que les planches qui servent de Lattes dans le lit ne sont pas accroché et pendant la nuit deux planches sont tombées nous avons également appelé la propriétaire qui a remis les planches en ordre mais je pense que si les planches ne sont pas attachées ou accrochées à quelque chose le problème doit être récurrent. Nous avions deux petites plaques de cuisson qui ne chauffaient pas nous avons signalé le problème à la propriétaire qui a procédé au changement des plaques la veille de notre départ. Tout ça est bien dommage car il aurait été nécessaire de faire un contrôle très détaillé de l'appartement pour connaître l'existence de tous ces problèmes avant de le donner à la location. Madame a fait ce qu'elle a pu mais nous étions là que pour trois jours donc forcément nous avons été embêté par tout ça.
- Eric (8/5): Appartement avec 2 terrasses, bien situé. - Le logement en pierre naturelle, les 2 terrasses, la piscine, l'accueil par Isabelle. Le logement est un peu spartiate, les 2 salles de bain trop petites.
- Jana (10/5): Exceptional - Pool was lovely. Location was perfect. Apartment was very cozy and comfy. Few general provisions such as coffee, filters, etc.
- Julie (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in rural eastern Crete - Esperides has views to sea. Lovely pool which most of the time we were the only ones there. Well equipped with everything you need. Comfy bed. Gorgeous sunrises. Isabella very welcoming. Lovely local restaurants on beach and Palekastro The steep stairs upto the bedroom
- Emmanouil (9/5): Superb -
- Ioannis (10/5): Fantastic apartment in a beautiful location overlooking olive trees and the sea. - Fantastic, well equipped apartment in a beautiful location overlooking olive trees and the sea. Isabelle is super nice and friendly. We totally recommend this place. It’s a pity we couldn’t stay more days. We will be back soon.
- Karl (9/5): Superb - Excellent location: extremely calm and relaxing. Close to the sea (850 metres) and within walking distance of the village Palaikastro (2,3 kms). However, a car is needed.
Very comfortable beds.
Cozy houses.
- Mathias (9/5): Superb - Easy check-in, -out, communication!
proximity to the surf beach
style of the building
flexibility of our host
perfect for travellers with a car NOTHING major. Two ideas to improve even more:
- Some more effective sun shields for the pool-facing patios on September mornings
- Replacement of the lights around the pool for lower-brightness or indirect lights
- More effective stores for seat cushions
- Gerhard (10/5): Exceptional - nice view, nice pool, more than sufficient electric power plugs In the morning you have full sun on the terrace. A sunshade would help.
- Christos (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet location, nice view, close to the beach, the pool was very handy with the kids. Also they had a comfortable mattress and extra pillows. There was water and a complementary bottle of wine in the fridge when we arrived. Finally, we had lots of outside space with comfortable garden furniture.
- Giorgos (10/5): Wonderful!! WE highly recommend! -
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Loved everything about our stay here. Exceptional.
- James (10/5): Would do it again tomorrow! - Perfect location. Perfect beaches. Perfect town.
- Nina (9/5): Superb -
