Thodoris studios and rooms in Sougia are located 1 minute from the beach. The room where we stayed had a nice view over the sea. It was very clean and the bedsheets and towels were changed daily. Thodoris' relatives were available anytime we needed something. It has been a great choice.

The owners are very friendly and helped where they could. If you are going there out of season, be aware that the boat only comes once a week. The bus to chania only once a day. And there are only two shops open from 17-18h to buy food. We were hiking and feelt like the last people on earth it was very beautifull.

Sougia is a must. This room is nice, cleaned every day and fully equipped. There is a good sea view.

We had a brilliant time, the room was fabulous, with views over the sea! Couldn't have asked for more.

Everything was Perfect!

Very nice place, sougia is a paradise!!! Very nice apartment, extremely clean!

Logement très bien situé en plein coeur du village de Sougia : épiceries, plage, promenades à pied et restaurant sans utiliser la voiture, un luxe ! Excellent accueil de la propriétaire de la pension.

The studio was quite small, but very cozy. The room was cleaned every day! Vrey good location in a quiet street but very close to shops, bars, tavernas and to the beach. Sougia is great place for hikinng or just relaxing by the sea. We had a great stay there.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Melina's house. A half hour drive from the beaches and nearest towns which meant we could really relax away from it all at the house. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking - Melina was so kind to leave us fresh vegetables, eggs, homemade wine and bread!! Such a beautiful little hideaway (the only thing I could complain about was the insane amount of flies/insects, we stayed early June, if you don't plan on being outside at the house the entire time it isn't a problem). For anyone planning on working whilst away - the wifi is limited to the lounge room, however not really an issue but you do not get phone reception at the house as it is too far from town. Someone will come to maintain the garden everyday, this wasn't an issue at all! You also MUST have a car unless you plan to go absolutely no where. An amazing week, very lovely and generous hosts, I would highly recommend to anyone!

The house is in the middle of the nature, far away 20 minutes from Paleochora and Sougia, so you can choose to visit both the areas (beaches, mountains, monasteries). The place is secluded and quit, it is perfect for a family to have peace and tranquillity. We loved the two roofs where have meals and relax in the cool breeze. The house is clean and very nice decorated, and there are all the utilities to cook, loundry machine and phon too. The hosts are very kind, when we arrived we found in the fridge fruits and eggs and fresh bred on the table; a day they left fresh grown vegetables out the door for us!

The place is amazing! In the middle of the valley. The house is beautiful, it had everything we needed and it's just 28 min away to Paleochora (and Anidri beach) by car. We would have stayed more time there.

Simply put, this is the home of my dreams! My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights and couldn't have wished for a better place. It's not just somewhere to stay whilst on holiday. It's a home. One that has had a lot of love and care put into it to make it look how it does. A home that makes you feel lucky to be there. Antonis and Melina are wonderful and generous hosts. They will leave you in peace to enjoy your time and space, but are always available should you need anything. They were very welcoming on our arrival, and provided us with fresh bread and fruit along with vegetables and fresh eggs straight from the garden. Our only regret is that we didn't stay for longer, but we are definitely looking to come back again. Thank you Antonis and Melina for your special home. Big hugs Lorraine and Billy

Amazing house in the middle of the cretan nature. The perfect place for relaxing and discovering the surroundings. Melina & Antonis are very good hosts. Don't hesitate to stay there !

This traditional cretan farmhouse was everything we had hoped it would be. Actually it was more than we ever could have dreamed of. It was the perfect location, in the perfect surroundings with more than perfect hosts. Melina and Antonis are super sympathetic, warmhearted and very obliging hosts. We imediately fell in love with the house. It's in reality even more beautiful than on the pictures. And you can see the love that both have put into each detail. It has not just been a holiday location for us, it has been a home. Each morning we would find a new surprise in front of our door. Whether it's been eggs, potatoes, fresh onions or avocados. All came in fresh and directly from the garden in the back of the house. Neighbour Georgios was bringing self made red wine and fresh honey from his own beehives. It's been a fantastic two weeks and we will surely return many more times. Nadja & Christian

Very beautiful house with a lot of balconies with beautiful view. Melina & Antonis are very good hosts. A very good place to visit the South cost of this island (beaches and mountains)

Antonis & Melina were charming hosts. The house is a lovely place to have a very relaxing holiday, being secluded in the hills above Paleochora. The two large terraces at the back of the house provide abundant space to relax and read, eat or drink, with lovely valley and mountain views down to the sea. There are also two other lovely outside seating areas under trees. Antonis & Melina supplied us with bread, eggs, butter, jam, numerous local herbs and teas. Also firewood for the fireplace in cooler times and for barbecues in warmer times. Bring some food with you if you don't want to drive down to Paleochora or elsewhere for restaurants every day. You need a car and you can go for short day trips to other coastal parts, or to the start of walks of coastal paths or the local gorges or to restaurants/cafes. If inclined you may decide not leave the house for days and just relax on the terraces. We wish we had more time to simply enjoy being there. Rob & Chris - London

Fanis is a great host. The communication was perfect both in English and in German. The house is located in a beautiful surrounding with a magnificent view from the terrace. At night you're alone with the stars and some animal sounds. The beaches of Paleochara can be reached by car within half an hour. It's a 15 minutes' drive to the village of Kandanos, where there are a couple of grocery stores, some cafes and restaurants, a good bakery and a petrol station. Temenia itself consists only of a few scattered houses. In one of them there's a taverna with very friendly hosts. The area is also good for hiking.

Une petite maison très accueillante située au cœur des montagnes à l'ouest de la crête. La maison est très fonctionnelle avec 2 chambres et 3 lit, une grande salle de séjour et un panorama vraiment très beau que l'on peux admirer depuis la table dehors, elle même a l'ombre des feuilles de vigne. Elle se situe à 30 minutes des plages de Paleochora et de Sougia. 40min des gorges de Agya Arini 60 minutes des plages d'Elafonissi Nous n'avons pas eu de contact avec Fanis autrement que par mail mais tout a été fait pour que nous passions un bon séjour (clefs disponibles dans le très bon restaurant du village). Le maître mot de cette location a été la confiance. Encore merci et bonne vacances à ceux

This place was as we expected - a calm, remote and sunny in the middle of Cretan hills. We were looked after very well by Fanis' friends from Temenia taverna (highly recommended!) and Fanis was always in touch if needed.

Wir wurden durch die Bekannten unseres Gastgebers sehr freundlich in Temenia begrüßt. Der Schlüssel war in der Taverne des Ortes hinterlegt und zuallererst gab es etwas zu trinken und eine kleine Leckerei! Wir wurden zur Unterkunft begleitet und uns wurden frische Handtücher mitgegeben. Das Haus liegt etwas ausserhalb des kleinen Ortes in Alleinlage mit einem sehr schönen Ausblick auf das darunterliegende Tal und die Berge. Das Haus ist geräumig und hat eine gute Ausstattung - ein paar kleinere Töpfe zum Kochen wären toll! Wen es nicht stört, das die Möbel nicht mehr die Neusten sind und eher die Ruhe, den nächtlichen Sternenhimmel, die reifenden Feigen und Weintrauben, die kreisenden Adler, die Hängematte für die Siesta etc. schätzt, der ist hier gut aufgehoben! Ein Ort, um vom Alltag abzuschalten - das war es für uns- gerne wieder!

Thank you to Fanis and his father for their warm welcome. The house is comfortable, well located in a beautiful and quiet place. We had great times during this week. We look forward to come back. Thank you Fanis!

Un magnifique séjour dans cette maison ,avec point de vue superbe sur la vallée de Témenia et son village(terrasse sous la treille de vigne,exposition est/sud). Maison accueillante, bien distribuée(2 chambres et 3 lits pour 4 personnes), dans un calme absolu:repos garanti! Environnement pastoral, avec de très beaux chemins de ballade, et une taverne à une cuisine crétoise du terroir,préparée par Vassiliti,très accueillante. Plage de Sougia à 16km (25mn) et Paleochora à 19 km (30mn): véhicule indispensable!!. Merci Fanis de nous avoir ouvert ta maison , pour découvrir cette superbe région de la Crete (Gorges d'Arinis/Samaria/ chemin côtier..). Vacances réussies.

Temenia ist ein abgelegenes Bergdorf in einer idyllischen Gegend der Insel. Abgesehen von gelegentlichem Gebimmel der Schafe und dem Krähen eines Hahnes hat man absolute Ruhe, rundum nur Natur. In der Küche der Unterkunft ist alles absolut Notwendige vorhanden, im Bad befindet sich eine Duschmöglichkeit. Ob und wie man warmes Wasser aus der Leitung bekommen kann, haben wir nicht herausgefunden, was aber aufgrund der sommerlichen Temperaturen halb so wild war. Der zum Haus gehörende Garten ist ein Traum! Während unseres Aufenthaltes konnten wir Trauben, Granatäpfel, Feigen und Walnüsse direkt vom Baum pflücken :) Fanis hat alles so geregelt, dass es für uns prima gepasst hat!

Very nice place and Fanis is a great host. we highly recomend this place. Autenthic and maravillosooo!!!

The appartement is very nice, confortable with perfect location. Very central, close to all commodities and one step away from the beach, bus station to gorges and port. Thodoris and his mom are very welcoming and will make you feel very confortable. We want to thank them again and we will come back some day.

Thodoris, sa mère et sa grand-mère nous ont parfaitement accueilli. L'appartement est très bien situé, très propre et la terrasse est très agréable. Nous y avons passé un excellent moment.

Very Kind Hosts and a beautiful apartment!

THank you Thodoris for a lovely stay. We are now back in the wet and cold of Guernsey. Hopefully see you again sometime.

Ήταν υπέροχα το δωμάτιο καινούργιο και πεντακάθαρο !! Η κυρία που μας εξυπηρέτηση πολύ ευγενική και μας βοήθησε με πολύ προθυμία :)

Great place to stay. Comfortable, clean and close to the beach and tavernas. Beautiful village. Great place to do some walking from.

Really convenient location to visit Samaria s gorge. The apartment is perfect. Really clean and with cutlery and other stuff to cook and be like if it were your home. Shower water very hot. The host is very very nice and help us with everything. There are parking lots to park the car all day during you are fo Mg the trekking. The beach in sougia is very beautiful and the apartment has a really nice terrace where you can enjoy the views. I. Recomend it!!

Sougia is a Crete paradise in front of the huge massive mountains and the Lybian sea, especially good fish taverns.

Quest'appartamento ci ha veramente soddisfatti! Pulito, accogliente e esattamente come nelle foto. Perfetto se volete fare l'escursione delle Gole di Samaria perché si trova proprio a due passi dalla partenza dei pullman, super consigliato!!

Very nice place! Highly recommended! We will visit Anchor rooms again!

Sougia is a hidden gem on the island of Crete and Anchor rooms is the perfect place to stay. The room was clean, colorful, and had a nice little balcony. Best of all, the food at the restaurant downstairs (Anchorage) is AMAZING. Honestly the best food I've had in years. Can't wait to come back to stay and eat again.

Good location for this clean & functional room for a stay near to Sougia beach and restaurants

The host canceled this reservation 44 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Irini welcomed us very friendly We really enjoyed our nights at her stay. It's in the middle of Loutro and therefore close to anything. Thank you Irini!

It has been a very good Time in this beautiful Sougia city. À Nice room ( a little bit nosy)

Eirini place is amazing! Close to everything, bus stop, port, beach and despite it is over a taverna it is not noisy at all! Perfect for a relazing stop before or After Samaria walk or even only to enjoy good food and beach life! Eirini and her husband are super nice and great hosts!

Lovely place quiet street...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There is much to do in the area – visiting Elafonisi Beach, hiking the Samaria Gorge and E4 trail, and visiting the beautiful villages along Crete’s southwestern coast. The house was beautiful and well equipped. Dining outside on the veranda and under the grape arbor while enjoying the wonderful views of the countryside was an experience we will always remember. Giorgos and Christina were most gracious hosts and made us feel more like guests than rente

We were welcomed with gifts and a view to die for. Giorgos and Christina were very courteous showing us around their place. After that, we had the place to ourselves, sharing just a slice with the neighbor downstairs. There is a regional restaurant gem five minutes from their house, owned by Christina's brother. The gorge the house is in is truly spectacular, and well worth a drive or walk up. All the amenities you need on a trip are there for you, two bathrooms, sun throughout the day, herbs and fruits from the garden, and a view of the Libyan sea in the distance. I would highly recommend staying with them.

We stayed 14 Days there and really enjoyed the time. The house is beautiful, we really felt like home there. The beach in Anidri is nice and not far and there is also the best restaurant in walking distance. (What you probably should do, when you drink the Raki there.) You find absolutely everything you need in the house. We totally recommend to stay there!

Wunderchönes Haus mit allem Komfort in herrlicher Lage über dem Tal in einem alten Olivenhain. Sehr großzügige und herzliche Gastgeber.

We can warmly recommend this comfortable house from very friendly and generous hosts. We were welcomed warmly with homemade food and drinks. The house was very clean and fully equipped with everyting. Especially the kitchen. It's a dream for passionate cookers. The location is quiet and it's only a few minutes away from Paleochora . We can also recommend the quiet Grammeno beach and the very good local restaurant in Anidri located in walking distance.

The houose is located a bit outside the town of Paleochora, which is beautiful, lively and typical Greek. The surroundings of ther house is calm, lovely and peaceful! You can come down really and find sleep! There are a lot of hiking tours to discover, beautiful beaches with plenty of space and the water is a class of its own, clear as chrystal. We found one of the best places ever!

The house is really beautiful, very well equipped and tastefully decorated. It feels secluded and very quiet. The 2 terraces are perfect for the morning or afternoon respectively. For breakfast one enjoys the wonderful view over the hills covered with olive trees, later the grape wine terrace is perfect to hang out in the hammock. The old olive and fruit trees are amazing. Giorgos and Christina are fantastic hosts and very generously share the local treats. They provide even beach towels and have a Yoga mat for perusal. The terrace is perfect for Yoga or other exercises. There is an outdoor shower which we always used, just fantastic. We loved to stay here and could relax very well. The various beaches are very nice, too. We enjoyed pleasant walks in the surroundings; even with the August heat as it was very windy. The lady who lives in the basement flat is very quiet and no disturbance. However, for one week she had guests over which changed the atmosphere of the place. This was a bit a pity but what to do. All else was perfect. We'd be happy to come again.

Giorgios and Christina's beautiful house is in a wonderfully scenic, quiet, secluded little olive-filled valley. The road to Anidri runs past but when we stayed there was hardly any traffic: maybe a vehicle every 5-10 minutes. The views are great, there are plenty of paths and tracks around for walks, and we had some of our happiest times in the olive grove: eating, using the outdoor shower and just sitting and listening to the birdsong and the bleats of the goats and the sheep. At the beginning of April, the evenings were just about cold enough to warrant lighting the fire, and we had a barbecue outside one night. We did two walks down (and up!) the Anidri Gorge: enough of a challenge with a 6-year old and a nearly-two-year old to be interesting without being too tough. And the stunning Gialiskari beach at the end is a big reward. Paleochora is an easy 10 minute drive, with a good bakery, shops and a supermarket. Allow 1:45 from Chania airport, a bit longer if anyone gets car sick: it's a windy road over the mountains. The house had everything we needed and more, and Giorgos and Christina were extremely generous with their welcome. The homemade biscuits on arrival were just one example of what amazing hosts they were. The cafe in Anidri wasn't yet open for the summer, which was a disappointment, and the olive grove is calling out for a hammock, but other than that it's hard to think of anything that could make it any more perfect.

A modern and luxurious house in a typical village in the mountain. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the large terrace. But above all the kind welcoming and the generosity of our host !

Villa Temenia is a great, clean and peaceful place. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the quiet surrounding. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Although a bit further from any restaurant but still a short ride to lovely Paleohora where you can find a lovely beach and food. Coomunication with a host was good and he was very helfpul.

Excellent séjour (4 personnes). et nous avons apprécié les petits plus du matin. Logement très propre, bien agencé et restauré au sein d'un petit village agréable et sympathique avec une jolie vue sur les collines alentour. Belle terrasse et agréable toute la journée. A recommander

Marie Noell's house it's very nice! The position of the house it's very panoramic,silencious, and gives you wonderful views to the mountain. Marie made the space with nice style ,that gives a special atmosfere to the house. She was very gentle with and made us feel cofortable. If you would like to explore the real Crete on that area, it's a good place to stay. Also you can get easily to some close beaches as Sougia, or visit the Irina'gorge. So we really liked our stay there! Angela and Cristiano

Parfait ! Très bon accueil, appartement spacieux très bien arrangé, terrasse avec une vue magnifique.

ΔΕΝ ΥΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ΛΟΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΨΟΥΝ ΤΗΝ ΕΜΠΕΙΡΙΑ ΑΥΤΗΣ ΤΗΣ ΦΙΛΟΞΕΝΙΑΣ!Ο ΧΩΡΟΣ,ΤΟ ΣΗΜΕΙΟ,Η ΕΝΕΡΓΙΑ ΤΟΥ (URL HIDDEN) ΠΡΟΤΕΙΝΩ ΔΙΧΩΣ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΗ ΣΚΕΨΗ!

3 jours passés dans l'appartement de Marie Noelle avec un très bon accueil et une très bonne disponibilité. Le studio est en plein nature avec une vue magnifique sur la vallée et constitue un point de départ idéal pour les randonnées de la région. A conseiller. Merci également pour le petit déjeuner.

Excellent séjour dans un logement très au calme dans les hauteurs, bien chauffé pour les fraîches soirées de printemps. Merci à Marie Noëlle et Qimy pour votre accueil chaleureux ! Jordan & Marie

One of the nicest places to stay in Crete. Really tidy apartment, fantastic location in order to reach all the great beaches like Elafonisos and Paleohora.

We can highly recommend Marie Noelle's studio where we stayed for three nights. She is a perfect and very kind host, very helpful and warm. She responded to all our mails immediately, the wifi in the house is very good. It is good place to start hiking tours, especially the Samaria Gorge. It is in the middle of the mountains, very quiet. We suggest to bring your food, because there are no stores nearby, but two little taverns where you can enjoy local food. Thank you very much, Marie-Noelle. We wish we coud stay longer.

A nice, clean apartment with reliable WIFI. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place if you have the flexibility of a car. The pictures are an accurate guide and Marie was very helpful.

We had a great time the house is very well located in the wild just as we like it. If we'll ever come back we'll definitely go back there

We really enjoyed staying at Caminada - what an amazing place! The house itself is the perfect place to relax and it is situated perfectly between the mountains and the sea so that you can go hiking in the morning and be on the beach in the afternoon. There is also a great restaurant in the village (the old school) where we had some lovely meals. Just make sure you rent a 4x4 as the roads in that part of Crete can be rough. Alex and Benoit were really helpful and responsive. If we ever make it back to Anidri we would absolutely stay there again in a heartbeat.

One of the most enjoyable and peaceful stays we've had. Beautiful setting. Much beyond expectations in terms of appliances and goodies. Incredible home decor amidst the mountain view in a lovely feeling of isolation 5 mins from the beach.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé cette maison et surtout la vue sur la montagne et la mer de Libye. Le chemin pour aller à la maison est un peu difficile mais une fois arrivés au logement, nous l'avions vite oublié. Les problèmes d'eau que nous avons rencontrés ont vite été réglés par les propriétaires. Nous avons passé un bon séjour et nous recommandons cette maison.

Beautiful Caminada! Don't say more...wanna be there next year! Dig the point!

We enjoyed two fantastic weeks here as a couple, and would love to come back in the spring when the flowers are at their best. It's a great location with a distant sea view , ten minutes walk down to Anidri village ( take a torch, it can get very dark out here ) - well worth it for the fantastic food at Kafeneio sto Scholeio . Be prepared to wait for a table, though. Access is along a rough track, a little unnerving first couple of times in a small hire car, but take it slow and steady and you should be OK. Very comfortable bed, loads of outdoor space and seating and an outdoor shower - great for hosing down after a hot day on the beach. Nice hammock to laze around in. Almond and pomegranate trees in the yard . Good cooking facilities, although plenty of options for eating out too. Nice to have a toaster, coffee maker and kettle. Although Caminada is listed as sleeping four , it's better for two if staying more than a few days. The upper apartment would be more suitable. Also, note that despite the isolated location , there's another apartment next door , although you still have plenty of privacy / peace and quiet. Being south west Crete, it can be windy at times. The wind can also pick up / drop without warning , so make sure shutters and windows are secured overnight. Paleochora has everything you need for food shopping and is about a ten minute drive away. Parking at night can be a little awkward, as the main thoroughfare is closed to traffic from 7pm and the streets are very narrow. Plenty of places to eat and drink - food was good everywhere we went and the restaurant at Anidri was probably the best food we've ever eaten and in a great location too. We can also recommend a visit to the Alfa cafe in Azogires , walking to the local beach via Anidri Gorge ( both around an hour's walk). Further afield Sougia makes a lovely day trip ( an hour by car or there's a daily ferry ) and the beautiful (if tricky to find) white sands of Kedrodasos beach.

Secret places should stay secret places! Primary I would prefer not to write about Caminada, in hope that we will find free slots for our next holiday here at this wonderful place. We spent more than a week here and every day has been a dream!! The house has a fantastic view over the hills to the sea, and it is absolutely quiet! The house was renovated with much heart and good taste and everything you need is there. If you have a problem Margaret is here for you. And if you have luck, like in our case, Alexandra and Benoit are here too which is a very interesting acquaintances. So we can recommend this accommodation for everyone who loves Crete and likes to stay at a quiet and amazing place. Thank you Alexandra and Benoit

Ein traumhaft schöner Blick über die Berge auf das Meer und eine herrliche Ruhe mit dem Summen der Bienen und dem Läuten der Glocken der Ziegen. Ein sehr schöner Ort zum Entspannen und sich wohl Fühlen. Herzlichen Dank.

Very nice flat with stunning views!

We loved the remote location of caminada, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The views are stunning, and the nearby walks were great, as well as the local restaurant. It was exactly what we were looking for and perfect for a group of four people. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Alexandra und Benoît haben immer zeitnah auf meine Fragen geantwortet, mir Tipps gegeben. Der Kontakt war sehr freundlich. Die Unterkunft ist noch schöner , als es die Bilder zeigen. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. So wunderbare Steinböden, es roch so gut. Die Terrasse ist riesig. Die Ruhe ist unbeschreiblich schön. Man hört nur den Wind und die Ziegen rufen. Man kann sich frei bewegen, morgens sofort mit dem Kaffee nach draußen, vollkommen unbeobachtet. Der Sternhimmel dort oben auf dem Hügel ist ein Traum. Unten im Ort kann man die Sterne nicht mehr so klar sehen und in dieser Fülle. Romantisch, erholsam., friedvoll. Es gab ausreichend frische Handtücher, saubere und schöne Bettwäsche, Kaffee für den ersten Morgen und einen zauberhaften Korb mit Olivenöl, Gebäck, Tomaten zur Ankunft.Alle nötigen Informationen, Telefonnummern, W-lan Passwort, etc, liegen im Korb. Das einzige Restaurant in Anidri ist ein Traum, der schönste Platz in der Umgebung mit köstlichem Essen und einem traumhaften Ausblick. Auch der Strand ist der schönste, den wir gefunden haben und wir haben viele ausprobiert. Wir würden jederzeit gerne wieder hinfahren.

Caminada ist ein wunderschöner Ort, abgelegen mit tollem Blick über die Berge zum Meer - toller Sternenhimmel, direkter Zugang zu Wanderwegen (z.B. durch die Schlucht zum Strand, nach Azogires, nach Sougia), tolle Terrasse mit Außenbett, sehr gemütlicher Innenraum mit vielen schönen Details und Stoffen, schönes uriges Dorf mit guter Taverne. Zuwegung auf einer Schotterpiste, die z.T. sehr steil und schmal ist. Für uns war das zunächst gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber machbar. Für erfahrene Autofahrer sicherlich kein Problem. Wir werden sicherlich wiederkommen.

I can describe Alexandra en Benoits house in word: Incredible! The house itself, the location and the view are all spectacular. It has a L.A. vibe to it and you feel like a king staying there. The last 300 meters to the house by car is not for the faint hearted. It's adventurous and insures the remoteness off the house, but you will kinda get used to it after a few times. The area with nice beaches, walks, , nature, restaurants is great. The housekeeper is super helpful with everything and speaks excellent English also. We were totally relaxed after our four nights and I suspect everyone will.

Superlatives are almost always difficult, but not this time: I really can't imagine a more beautiful view on this part of Crete! And even better: This holds true also by night, because we never ever saw such a beautiful night sky before - just great! The house itself is spacious and has everything you need - and as it is facing South you really need the air condition in both sleeping rooms in summer (including September). And another thing we really loved: You can leave the house, turn right - and immediately you are on your way along a valley to the next village. We did this most beautiful walk (about 5 km for one way) three times, and would have done it again, if we had stayed longer. The last part of the car journey to the house is (as already mentioned by other visitors) a bit tricky as to the low quality of the road, but only in the sense of "uncomfortable", i.e. not "dangerous". So: Thanks again, Alexandra and Benoit, that we could stay at your most beautiful place!

Fantastic place surrounded by nature and decorated with lots of love and eye for detail!

There are almost no words to describe this place, it is simply that great! However, I'll try....Caminada is stunning, beautiful, simple, authentic, awesome, amazing. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing week away in a beautiful location in a super friendly village away from the tourist trail. We felt part of a small community yet could retreat to the relative isolation on the mountain side to watch the stars at night or massive blue sky in the day time. Truly truly amazing.

Endroit très agréable, très bonne literie avec une petite note supplémentaire pour les initiales de la maison brodées sur les draps et les serviettes (pas mal). Accueil très agréable également.

Beautiful located place!! And very well equipped to stay a longer time. Nice terrasse and panorama windows and the only thing you hear gently are the goats on the other slope. Communication is needed for check in and out times, as the owner lives in the next village.

Το σπίτι είναι υπέροχο σε ιδανική τοποθεσία για να ηρεμήσεις και να χαλαρώσεις. Αν όμως θέλεις να είσαι κοντά στα hot spot του νομού θα γράψεις πολλές ώρες στο τιμόνι.

Elena et Melina ont été très disponibles et nous ont aidé à trouvé l'appartement. Il se situe dans un petit village de montagne à une vingtaine de minutes de Paleochora (voiture indispensable). Les grandes baies vitrées du salon offrent une vue époustouflante et apaisante, l'appartement est spacieux, très bien équipé et confortable. Nous sommes vraiment contents de notre séjour et le recommandons.

Ιδανικό για χαλάρωση.Εξαιρετικοί οικοδεσπότες.

Great hospitality of Eugenia and Mihalis makes you feel at home. Their place is very calm, clean and perfectly situated in a traditional village of Livadas. Surrounded by old vines and olive trees, you can spend hours observing the valley, you can visit a beautiful old church and you are close to the sea. Livadas also offers very pleasant walking and trekking opportunities. We went from the village to Sougia (having great views of the valley and the sea) and then to the ancient ruins of Lisos. We also had a walk to the nearby Koustogerako village. The place is also a convenient base for more challenging treks (for instance the Irini gorge and Gigilos). Eugenia and Mihalis' place is fantastic for nature lovers and not only!

Eygenia and mihalis sont les meilleurs hôtes que nous ayons rencontré jusqu'à présent sur Airbnb. Ils nous ont accueilli comme si nous étions leurs enfants. Ces 2 jours resterons un des plus beau moment de notre voyage en Crète. Si vous souhaitez faire les gorges de samaria alors il est interdit de chercher un hôtel sur sougia préférez s'ils sont disponibles chez Eygenia et mihalis, leur maison n'est qu'à 10min en voiture de sougia! Avant d'arriver chez eux leur fils Andreas nous a très bien conseillé et donné tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Merci à toute la famille.

The rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped to easily host up to five people. The view from the terrace and onto the Lefka Oroi is absolutely breath-taking at any time of the day or the night. The rooms are far enough removed from Sougia to enjoy the peace and quiet, but close enough (7 minutes by car) to easily access it. The rooms are perfectly situated if you want to hike down the Ageia Eirini or the Samaria Gorge. But, by far the best part of the experience were our gracious hosts Michalis and Eugenia, who give true meaning to the world "filoxenia". Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et très bien équipées pour accueillir jusqu'à 5 personnes. La vue depuis la terrasse est à couper le souffle à toute heure de la journée ou de la nuit. Les chambres sont suffisamment éloignées de Sougia pour apprécier le calme, tout en restant suffisamment proches de la ville balnéaire pour s'y rendre facilement (moins de 7 minutes en voiture). Leur localisation est idéale si l'on souhaite visiter les gorges d'agir Eirini ou de Samaria. Mais, de loin le meilleur souvenir que l'on gardera de ce séjour est celui de nos gracieux hôtes, Michalis et Eugenia, qui savent donner du sens au mot "filoxenia".

Un accueil extraordinaire dans un cadre magnifique. Des hôtes chaleureux, très accueillants et aux petits soins. Eugenia vous fera déguster sa moussaka inégalable et Mihalis son tzatziki exquis. Un séjour inoubliable dans les montagnes crétoises. Nous vous recommandons un passage chez Eugenia et Mihalis, hôtes charmants, ouverts et bienveillants.

Perfect location on the mountains. 10 min. drive to the beach with delicious local food. Michalis's and Eugenia's place is fantastic. Large space with perfect view, quite and clean just by the old church of the village and 3 min. walk to the next village houses. The hosts are very generous and polite. One can ask them for any kind of music at the sunset hours or any other hours. We left with unforgettable feelings. Next year we will be probably back.

Apartment is situated in a traditional, with love maintained, house with a spacious terrace and magnificent view onto hilly scenery. It is approx. 7 km away from the beach (following the road) and hence inviting for a morning run with a subsequent reward in the refreshing water. The hosts anticipated every wish and were always eager to show their hospitality. It is a place to rest and feel like at home.

Eugenia and Mihalis home is a wonderful place to relax! The house is situated in the old village of Livadas just a few minutes by car to Sougia and the beach. The house is a lovely traditional greek country house surrounded by old olive trees. The view from the room and the terrace is fantastic! You can see over the beautiful valley and the mountains. Nearby is the start of the impressive Canyon of Agia Irini. At the beginning and at the end there are two nice taverns with traditional greek food. During the night you will not hear any civilisation-noise. No car, no human noise will interrupt your sleep - total relaxation! To Sougia it is approximately 10 minutes drive. There, you have a lot of taverns and bars and little stores to buy basic things. Eugnia and Mihalis are very hospitable and friendly! They will help you in any way. So, it is a great place for your holiday in a relaxing atmosphere.

A few words in english below. Le logement de George nous a séduit par son côté chaleureux et parfaitement équipé mais aussi par sa situation dans ce paysage montagneux magnifique qui offre un point de vue très authentique sur la Crète. Nous avons été accueillis de manière très chaleureuse, nos hôtes avaient laissé pour nous des produits locaux à déguster (fruits, pain, fromage, raki ... :)). Nous nous sommes sentis véritablement accueillis. La terrasse de la maison, avec son incroyable vue sur la montagne, nous a offert de grands moments de calme et de plénitude. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de nous trouver dans ce village perché sur la colline, comme la plupart des villages crétois, avec ses arbres fruitiers, ses oliviers, ses moutons et sa source d'eau. Les habitants que nous avons croisé nous ont frappé par leur gentillesse. La maison était très confortable et tout à fait adéquate pour un couple avec enfants. Sa situation était idéale pour rayonner dans toute la partie ouest de la Crète. Idéale pour des randonnées d'une journée dans toutes les gorges ou sentiers environnants ou pour découvrir les plus belles plages de l'île. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié Sougia (15 km), magnifique plage, très calme, et petite ville bien équipée en magasins et restaurants. Bref, un séjour parfait de notre point de vue. We really enjoyed staying in Georges's house wich was very confortable and well equiped for our 4 persons family. We particularly enjoyed the location of the house wich offers a magnificent and authentic point of view of this part of Creta (the most beautiful according to us). We were very touched by the warm welcome by our guests (thank you for the fruits, the bread and cheese that were so great after the travel!) but also by every person we met in this very authentic cretan village. A perfect location to discover the hiking possibility of the area but also the most beautiful beaches of the island!

George was really helpful and he answer really fast, the house is really nice with a nice view, clean and they let us some cheese and bread. If you're looking for an adventure away from everything this is a good place.

Accueil très agréable, à l'image de l'endroit.

We enjoyed a nice stay at this place. Through good communication it was easy to find and everything was well arranged. The kitchen was well equiped and the bedroom very nicely furnished. We recommend this place as a perfect hilde-out. Also the surrounding is beautiful. A trip to the beaches of Palaoichora and Sougia is worth going. So if you decide to go to this unique hide-out I'm Shire you will enjoy it.

Simple et superbe gîte ! La maison de George est idéalement située pour profiter de cette magnifique région. La montagne tout autour avec de vraies belles randos dans les gorges ; la mer à 20 mn dans la sympathique petite station de Sougia (mais rien n'interdit d'aller un peu plus loin sur le sable de Paleochora ou d'Elafonosi)...) ; la vue splendide dès le petit déjeuner sur le plus haut sommet de Crète ; le calme du village ; l'accueil et toutes les petites attentions de George... Et pour les connectés, le Wi-Fi impeccable ! Prévoyez éventuellement dans vos bagages une petite casserole pour chauffer du lait (le fait-tout est un peu grand !!) .... Sinon, équipement parfait ! Par contre, les placards à vêtements sont pleins !! Les nôtres sont restés dans les valises ! Un petit point à améliorer... Très bon séjour !

The hikers delight is a wonderful spot, quiet with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. We did have a little trouble finding the actual house, the signs are really clear to direct you away from the main road and up to the general vicinity but once there we did struggle to work out exactly which house it was. However George was always on hand to ask for help. Inside, the property has been clearly loved and designed beautifully, the furniture and decor are amazing! Its a lovely place to be. Our only comment would be that a few bowls would be helpful for breakfast and that the style of the interconnecting rooms might be difficult for some people as you have to go through the second bedroom to get to the toilet. This didn't bother us however and didn't affect our stay!

Eftixis' place is a lovely house up in the mountain beautifully decorated with a stunning view. We would def visit again when visiting Crete next. Neighbours are also very welcoming and lovely, they offered to help us find our way to the house as we arrived nighttime and we couldn't find it and they also offered us fresh fruit from their garden. Eftixis had a lovely huge basket of local fresh fruit, veg, honey, olive oil, rusks waiting for us which it was amazing to find as when we arrived we were peckish. He also had a good selection of coffee and a few lovely things waiting for us in the fridge (local olives, and graviera –gruyere– cheese). Only downside is that there is no wifi which is vital for planning your stay but Eftixis said he will install it ASAP as he only very recently started rented his property. Thanks so much for everything Eftixis, see you soon!

Mihalis place is great. It is located in a small village 10min by car to Paleochora. Very quite, no tourism, but amazing. There is a small tavern next to the house with great food and drinks. For all of you, who need to be connected to the world, there is also w-lan available. The place is great for relaxing and you can visit beautiful caves in the surrounding. Dani and I recommend Mihalis place to everybody. Mihalis is a very open-minded and helpful person and we have found a new friend in Crete. A tip: If you visit Paleochora we recommend also Mihalis uncle`s restaurant on the seaside. Great food and a nice atmosphere.

Basé en campagne endroit idéal pour se reposer, toutefois non loin d'une station balnéaire charmante. Nous avons apprécié la petite taverne atipyque qui se trouve juste à côté de l'appartement. Mihalis est un hôte très à l'ecoute de ses locataires, a toujours répondu très rapidement aux questions posées malgré qu'il ne soit pas sur place, il sait être disponible pour bien accueillir.

Hopefully we can stay at Mihalis house again soon - it was wonderfull!

This apartment is in a picturesque village in the hills of Crete. It is not a far drive from Sougia (35-40 min) or Palaiochora (10-15 min). It was clean and comfortable with a large patio. It felt very private and spacious. The host was helpful and quickly answered our phone call when we inquired about parking. Really great price, as well.

Accueil souriant mais rapide.

Our host was not present during our arrival but he was very present during the stay. Mihalis give us some very good advice: events, hikes, visits and relaxations. The apartment is situated in a very quiet village and nevertheless full of charm (I recommend you to visit caves close to the village). The apartment is very clean and in compliance with the information. The television and the WiFi were not usable during our stay. I recommend this apartment for those looking for peace and for possibility of going hiking around housing.

Commentaires positifs : Très calme et propre. Confortable. Cuisine équipée. Cadre enchanteur. Paleochora est à 10-15 minutes maximum. Plusieurs plages à proximité. Super restaurant juste à côté (Alpha Café). Commentaires négatifs : Ce n'est pas une maison crétoise, mais bien un bel appartement (il y en a deux) au-dessus d'un ancien restaurant. Il n'y a pas de Wifi. On peut cependant essayer de se connecter sur le Wifi du café d'à côté à partir de la terrasse.

Wij hadden een heerlijke tijd in het dorpje Azogires. Heel rustig en geen toerisme. Alles was door Mihalis perfect geregeld. We hadden een klein probleem met de electriciteit maar dat werd door de buurman en Mihalis snel opgelost. De omgeving is ideaal voor wandelaars, maar als je van zwemmen houd ben je ineen paatr minuten bij een heerlijk zandstrand. Het stadje Paleochores is bijzonder sfeervol met gezellige café's en restaurants. De bakker is er open van 7 tot 23:00 uur en verkoopt heerlijke taartjes en broodjes.

Un très bel endroit a découvrir, un accueil bienveillant et une guesthouse splendide. Un havre de paix au cœur de la nature. A refaire très très vite

Superb location if you like being in the middle of nowhere which we did! Standard of accommodation was first class and George and his helpers were very hospitable. Would certainly return - ideal spot if you like walking and fabulous unspoilt countryside. Only about 7 minutes car ride from beach with lots of lovely tavernas. A gem!

Our stay in George's place was just perfect. The apartment is really beautiful and wonderfully decorated, not to mention its position in a spot of absolute quiet and tranquility. It is also very handy to reach the major attractions of the region. Last but not least, George, Marianna and Katerina were great hosts that welcomed us with the best hospitality this island can offer. I would definitely come back and suggest it to my friends!

The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

BEAUTIFUL space. Very tastefully decorated and at an amazingly peaceful location in the mountain with beautiful views. It is a converted monastery so impressive wooden beams and lots of original features create a unique atmosphere. The pretty town of Sougia is an easy 10 min drive and full of nice restaurants and bars. The beach is excellent too, with clean waters to swim in. The location is great for some amazing hikes including Samaria and Agia Eirini gorges, walk to the ancient town of Lissos and the cave of Polyphemus, cyclops of Odysseus travels fame. The hosts are super nice, relaxed and very helpful. Very highly recommended option for holidaying in Crete!

Pour les amateurs de calme, un tres belle endroit et une belle partie de la crete oú assez peu de personnes passent .a quelques kilomètres de sougia . Accueil tres tres sympathique . Nous conseillons vivement .

Wow what a special place! A couple nights at George's place made our trip. It is finding true gems like this that can make travel so enjoyable. Very well run and an super accommodating staff. Sofia has to the be nicest and friendliest person on Crete. Thank you !

George’s estate is absolutely gorgeous and the surrounding nature is simply stunning - the view over the mountains just breathtaking (especially in the morning when the sun comes up). The apartments are very tasteful (we stayed in two of them) and provide basically everything you wish for. It is so cozy you don’t even want to go to the beach no more but stay at home on the terrace. I would also like to positively point out George, Ekaterina and George’s brother who were extremely thoughtful and kind people who helped us with all the little things that can happen during a one-week stay. To cut a long story short, we absolutely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend George’s place to anyone who seeks a quiet and peaceful retreat in a rather remote but beautiful area. So don’t get deterred by some steep and narrow roads on your way to it – it’s totally worth it!

Mon amie et moi avons séjourné 4 nuits dans le logement de Corine et nous le recommandons vivement ! Corine à été une hôte parfaite. Tout d abord pour son accueil et sa flexibilité d horaire, mais également pour sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité et ses conseils tout au long de notre séjour ( restaurants, randonnée...) Le logement, simplement un petit coin de paradis, le coucher du soleil sur la montagne est magnifique. Proximité du centre de sougia ( 5 min en voiture) Première expérience dans une maison eco et nous n avons pas été déçu. Encore un grand merci à Corine et son mari Giorgos

Villa Aeton was the perfect place for us to stay in Crete. Ioanna was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. The home is excepionally lovely, it's clear how much thought and love and care went into its design and upkeep. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and the view from this quiet mountain town is amazing. Ioanna was so thoughtful preparing some extra nice touches that made our honeymoon visit that much more special, and her advice regarding local activities was spot on. I highly recommend this home to anyone with the opportunity to appreciate its beauty.

If you look for a calm space in Special atmosphere you will be very happy. house is decorated with good taste, everything you Need is available. mountains are Close, so hiking can start directly from the village. To go to the sea you Need a car and have to be a good Driver . Ioanna is a very nice host -

This is an amazing villa in one of the most secluded corners of Crete - like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!! Ioanna is the most delightful host with her lovely daughter who speaks excellent English. We were amazed to find a fully stocked fridge with delicious homemade food and local wine. We had a lovely, peaceful time overlooking the stunning scenery from the patio. An amazing place!!
