Aretousa - Country house with private pool in Crete

An excellent family holiday then location is extremely picturesque and surrounded by mountains. Everyday we saw the most wonderful sunset and sunrise. Sofia met us at the property, she cleaned and cooked delicious traditional food for us and completed check out, making these processes simple and personal. To enable a family to make the most of the island hiring a car is essential. We explored many beautiful beaches, ports and archaeological ruins as we were blessed with sunshine all week. I would recommend a visit for a lovely family holiday.

Very peaceful and relaxing location, situated on a mountain road about 30 minutes from Chania. The house, outdoor area, and pool were all very clean and well-maintained. Everything you need for a comfortable stay was provided (incl. air conditioning, kitchen utensils, sun loungers, and umbrellas). Sofia and Machi were extremely friendly (thanks for the food and drinks for the first night, especially for the Moussaka!) and communication with them was excellent. I would definitely book this house again whenever I need a quiet getaway.

The apartment is exactly as listed. We arrived in the evening and the family met us and were so lovely and welcoming with food and drink for us and the fire ready to light. They were helpful and kind. We loved the little house and the area of Drakona and around in the mountains with many little villages to discover, just be careful of the free wandering goats and sheep! The neighbours were friendly and one is the owners grandmother. We recommend this for anyone who wants to escape the tourist traps! However Chania is only 30m drive away.

Lovely place in a cozy village. Very nice landlord. The tavern in town had quite good food, and the place was a good starting point for excursions into nature.
