Wonderful time in Crete!

The best time I had in Crete was my stay in Xristina's apartments because Xristrina and her family treated us like family. They were kind, professional, and very caring. The apartment is a gem, beautifully maintained right in front of the beach with plenty of places to dine and walk to. We loved Xristina's restaurant so much that we pretty much ate there every night! It's in a great location close to everything. It's like staying is a top notch mini private resort but very reasonably priced. Next time, we are heading straight there. Highly recommend this place!!

The property overlooks the Mediterranean with spectacular views. It is quite comfy with room to sleep 6. A full kitchen is available for those wishing to cook as well as a washing machine for washing your clothes. The staff is super nice and respectful of your privacy. Wifi is also available for those of us who cannot stay away from the computer.

Nette Vermieterin - Tolles Apartment

Xristina ist eine super nette Vermieterin, die das Apartment mit viel Liebe gestaltet hat. Wir hatten viel Platz und es ist modern eingerichtet. Der Ausblick vom Balkon auf das Meer ist wunderschön. Bei gutem Wetter konnte man dort frühstücken oder bei schlechten Wetter in der von ihr, ihrem Mann und ihrem Sohn geführten Taverne unter dem Apartment sehr gut essen. Die Taverne ist ebenfalls mit viel Liebe gestaltet. Über dem Apartment gibt es eine Dachterrasse mit Sonnenliegen und einem ebenso wunderschönen Blick über das Meer.

Stunning apartment. Warm and friendly family.

My husband and I booked a 2 week vacation here. The apartments are beautiful and above the family's fine restauraunt on the ocean. We ate there frequently. The place was immacculate and beautiful. The family (who runs the restauraunt) make sure everything is to your liking. They are also fun and happy people. Xtrina let us know the best sights to see. The last night we were there, there was people from Austria, Norway, Poland, Greece and the US in the restaurant. There was singing and dancing (traditional Greek to American country music!) At one point, the Austrian, who had been trained as a youth, stood up and sang an operatic solo. It was magical. The apartments themselves are large 2 bedrooms. There is a washing machine in the bathroom, so no lugging your laundry anywhere. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The living room is roomy and comfortable. Thank you to Xtrina and your family for an incredible vacation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Le cadre au bord de la mer (avec terrasse) était très bien. Malheureusement, il faisait trop chaud dans l'appartement la nuit et pas possible d'ouvrir le fenêtre, car trop du bruit à cause du resto juste en dessous. L'appartement n'était pas très propre et à 2 jours de notre arrivée Xristina nous avait demandé de payer en plus pour le lite de bébé qui était indiqué comme gratuit sur le site. Nous avons du lui expliquer qu'on ne devrait pas payer. A la fin de notre séjour elle n'a plus mentionné ceci.
