Fantastic apartment, beach and taverna
Me and my boyfriend have stayed at this property for 4 nights, at the superior apartment on the ground floor. The standart of the place was very good and comfortable. The balcony, even though on the ground floor had a nice sea and olive garden view. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. I was to mention The Fata Morgana taverna with a fantastic view and FANTASTIC foood and a very friendly service. The beach is only 2 min away, and it's a pure wild beauty. We would definately come back to this area and to this property.

We can’t wait to return to this property. We spent 3 days as a family and everything was perfect. Friendly staff, great on site taverna. Bikes for rent and the beach was fantastic with crystal clear waters.

Tranquility
Our room was the smallest basic on offer but it had everything a couple would need. There was plenty of space, a good bathroom and basic kitchen facilities. The bed was very comfortable and there was aircon if required. We lived there very comfortably for 6 nights. The staff were very courteous and helpful and spoke very good English. The on-site taverna has good food and service and we ate there every night whilst looking out over the bay. The accommodation is just a few minutes from an amazing beach (down steep steps, so difficult if you have mobility problems) The rooms are cleaned (thoroughly) every 3 days. The grounds, in an olive grove,are beautifully kept.

Paradise in Crete.
The place is fantastic. The rooms were perfect and the beach just a few steps away is incredible. The staff was also very helpful when we needed them (got a flat tire). It is a very relaxing place highly recommended.

Clean apartment, and good location to visit Frangokastello. The view on the front page is not the view for all the apartments, but still you will be able have some of a sea view from the first floor apartments.

Great value
Amazing value. We hiked a gorge during the day and ended up down south so looked for a room in the area and found this with good reviews. Driving to it I had second thoughts. It was a bit further away than I thought and there was not much nice once we got off the main north/south road. As we turned into the facility my mood brightened. Very nice property, beach front room, welcome gift of home grown olive oil all for very cheap. We liked it so much we stayed a second night. The room is a little tired. The shower doors didn't work well and left water pooled on the floor, but who cares? Good restaurants abound with local flair. This is off the beaten path and a great find
