Avoid this "house" at all costs
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 the tiny place. There was only AC in the tiny living room and cats were running around from outside inside. If you are allergic to cats it is a nighttmare. The carpet in the living room was old and full of cat hairs. The house is advertised as being juxtaposed with another house. Truth is that there is also a 3rd house permanently rented touching this one. So this house is stuck between them. All this again on a tiny scale. Very claustrophobic. Lastly, it is about 5 km from the town of Sitia with absolutely nothing around it. This is a first time in the many years that i rented via Home Away that i had a negative experience, particularly at this level.

Lovely place in an excellent location for exploring the wonderful eastern beaches
The property is charming, and in good condition. The hosts are also absolutely charming and really helpful, so if you need any information or advice it is readily available. we wanted one or two extra bits for the kitchen and they appeared almost immediately- can't ask for more. I would certainly stay again.

Schƶne FeWo in lƤndlicher Idylle
Eine sehr schƶne FeWo, die mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet ist und der Ausstattung fehlt es wirklich an nichts. Die zwei Terrassen kann man je nach Wetter wƤhlen, es ist beidseitig schƶn ruhig und begrĆ¼nt. Einziges Manko ist die etwas irrefĆ¼hrende Formulierung, der Strand sei 350 m vom Haus entfernt. Das Meer ist 350 m entfernt, aber es ist kein Strand; zum Baden sind wir immer ein paar Kilometer gefahren. Aber ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefĆ¼hlt, auch die Gegend ist schƶn ruhig und (noch) nicht zugebaut oder Ć¼berlaufen. B & C aus Deutschland

Wunderschƶne Tage in einem gemĆ¼tlichen Haus mit einem tollen Gastgeber
Das Haus liegt sehr schƶn in einem groƟen Garten umgeben von Palmen, mit alten Oliven-, Limetten-, Feigen- und GranatapfelbƤumen. Die Terrasse ist mit einer alten BourgavilƤe eingewachsen. Dem Stil und Aufbau des Hauses merkt man an, das es von einer Frau entworfen wurde. Es ist gemĆ¼tlich und praktisch zugleich. AuƟerdem glƤnzt es mit einer sehr schƶnen Einrichtung. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefĆ¼hlt.

Traumhaft
Das Haus entspricht genau der Beschreibung, was Ausstattung und Lage betrifft. Die Vermieter ( Vater und Sohn) sind sehr nett, immer ansprechbar und erreichbar. Sie gaben uns wertvolle Tips, was AusflĆ¼ge, Restaurants und BadestrƤnde betraf. Der Orangenkuchen zur BegrĆ¼ssung schmeckte einfach kƶstlich. Immer wieder gern.

Nous avons passĆ© 10 jours trĆØs reposants dans cette petite maison dĆ©corĆ©e avec gĆ“ut et trĆØs bien Ć©quipĆ©e, situĆ©e dans la partie encore sauvage de la Crete. Lefteris et sa famille nous ont accueilli chaleureusement : gĆ¢teau fait maison et huile d'olive maison et nous ont conseillĆ© tout au long du sĆ©jour en nous offrant figues et raisin du jardin. Nous reviendronsavec plaisir : le petit dĆ©jeuner bercĆ© par les cigales et avec vue sur la mer permet de bien commencer la journĆ©e. TrĆØs belles plages Ć  10/15 minutes en voiture. Merci beaucoup Lefteris pour votre accueil. Thanks a lot for all !

Ruhiger Ort zum Erholen
Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefĆ¼hlt, sind zu Hause angekommen. Bei unserer Ankunft stand ein lecker Orangenkuchen fĆ¼r uns bereit und das Olivenƶl ist super, das wir Ć¼ber unseren kompletten Aufenthalt zur VerfĆ¼gung gestellt bekommen haben. Die Beschreibung und Bilder entsprechen dem vor Ort, die Wohnung ist sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man benƶtig. Der "Gardener" ist immer hilfsbereit, wir haben gerne mit Ihm GesprƤche Ć¼ber Gott und die Welt gefĆ¼hrt. Gerne kommen wir wieder an diesen Ort zurĆ¼ck.

Dazu ein Ć¼beraus freundlicher Vermieter, der uns mit einem Orangenkuchen begrĆ¼ĆŸte und alle WĆ¼nsche (es waren nur kleine) umgehend erfĆ¼llte. Eine beeindruckende Landschaft verbunden mit gutem Wetter vervollstƤndigten unsere rundum tolle Urlaubszeit.

Sehr empfehlenswert!
Wir haben Anfang Juni zwei wunderbare Wochen im Haus Oleander verbracht. Die Wohnung ist gut gepflegt und im englischen Landhausstil gemĆ¼tlich sowie qualitativ hochwertig eingerichtet. Das Haus Oleander ist das Mittlere in einer Reihe von drei. Obwohl, die beiden andern HƤuser direkt angebaut sind, bleibt die PrivatsphƤre gewahrt. Die HƤuser liegen inmitten eines grossen gepflegten Gartens mit Palmen, Blumen, KrƤutern und Weinreben. In diesem Garten konnte sich unsere fĆ¼nfjƤhrige Tochter frei und gefahrlos bewegen. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Spielplatz fĆ¼r Kinder. Von den Gastgebern wurden wir mit einem Orangencake ā€“ die SpezialitƤt von Kate ā€“ und einer Flasche Wein empfangen. In der KĆ¼che stand ein KƤnnchen mit Lefterisā€™ eigenem Olivenƶl zum Brauchen. Auch bei den KrƤutern im Garten durften wir uns zum Kochen bedienen. Besonders genossen haben wir die spontanen GesprƤche Ć¼ber die Welt und das Leben mit Lefteris, der ein ebenso kompetenter wie interessanter GesprƤchspartner ist.Von Agia Fotia aus lassen sich mit dem Auto verschiedene TagesausflĆ¼ge machen. In einer halben Stunde Fahrdistanz liegen verschiedene StrƤnde. Einige davon sind traumhafte SandstrƤnde, die sich auf fĆ¼r kleine Kinder bestens eignen. Wir fĆ¼hlten uns von Anfang an sehr wohl und willkommen. Vielen Dank fĆ¼r alles! Gerne werden wir wieder kommen.
