"The house was so deceiving from its description that we chose to leave it to find a hotel and lose our deposit. It was dirty, the floors, table and all kitchen surfaces were sticky. On the table an old half eaten dried up cake welcomed us!! The shower was not high enough to stand up in and its tiles had not been cleaned in years. There was no standing room in the tiny bathroom/toilet. The 2 tiny bedrooms had only space for the bed/beds with no space to put down a suitcase, or anywhere else in...

"A very unusual and quirky place to stay, it has been converted to a comfortable holiday home on a number of levels ( so you need to have full mobility). Our host was very warm and welcoming and we had some very interesting conversations. the beds were very comfortable , the kitchen was well equipped too. It was a peaceful location set in beautiful gardens off the main road but it was very easy to visit the next village of Palekastro for shopping and eating in the tavernas. Not far into Siteia if...

"Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Haus, welches äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet war und in dem es an nichts fehlte. Es gab zwei Terrassen. Eine, von der aus man durch die hübschen Oleanderbüsche und Palmen zum Meer schauen konnte und eine andere, die nachmittags Schatten bot und einen sehr schönen Blick in die traumhafte Parkanlage mit unterschiedlichsten Blumen und Pflanzen bot. Vom Haus aus ließ sich der gesamte Osten von Kreta zum Wandern sehr gut erreichen....

"An oasis of peace is this beautiful authentic Greek holiday home. Beautiful view and a lovely private pool. We were warmly welcomed by our very helpful host. If you are looking for a place far away from mass tourism then this is a top location"

"Peaceful enjoyment"

"Ξεχωριστή εμπειρία σε έναν απίστευτο χώρο με μοναδικό χαρακτήρα. Απαράμιλλη φυσική ομορφιά και ησυχία σε μια αυλή που θυμίζει βοτανικό κήπο. Πρόθυμη και φιλική υποδοχή που φρόντισε κάθε μας ανάγκη."

"The property was lovely. We enjoyed sitting outside and looking over the coast. Ioanna and Koula were great to deal with. The village was fun to explore…. Especially with all the super friendly cats"

"The old house is very nicely renovated and decorated. We loved to spend our time there. Everything you need is there. The yard, the real living-room, is quite small, but very agreeable and has a nice atmosphere. Hostess Eleni is absolutely friendly and gave us a lot of advices for our trips and restaurants. In Kavoussi there are not to many tourists, so you feel as living in an authentic Kretian village. We are glad having found this accomodation and region for our holidays. . "

"Super gut"

"Smaragda is a tiny, cosy house, very clean, well maintained and well equipped. The rooftop terrace is perfect for warmer days, with a panoramic view of the village and the sea. Ioanna, the owner, was very helpful with many kind recommendations for places to visit and places to eat. The village is picturesque and quiet, with friendly residents. There are good walks nearby, including one to a monastery chapel with medieval frescoes (about 2km from Anatoli). Anatoli is an excellent base from which...

"We loved being surrounded by village life for a couple of weeks. Great location for exploring the eastern end of the island - and cooler than the coast being up in the mountains."

"We enjoyed this area and the villa immensely, there were beaches and villages in every direction and endless places to explore. The villa was clean and spacious and beautiful - beautiful views and a beautiful space. We would come here again and again and again."
