“We are incredibly satisfied. It was wonderful. I would be happy to come back!”
”The apartment is absolutely new and superbly furnished. We felt very comfortable right away. We didn't miss anything. The flat is perfect! I can only recommend the apartment. We would love to come back immediately. Many sincere thanks for renting the apartment.”
“Super modern, spotless apartment with beautiful high-end finishes and furniture. Everything feels brand new and very well maintained. The absolutely massive private patio/terrace overlooking the pool is the highlight - it was the perfect place to relax. Dorotea is a wonderful host - proactive, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made our stay even more special.

We had a rental car and were within 10 - 15 minutes of several amazing beaches and beach bars, while still enjoying the peace and quietness of the area. We fell in love with Crete, and if we come back, we’ll definitely try to stay in this apartment again. Thank you!”
