Petrakis Cretan Homes

Thanks to the kind hostess Eleni, our stay in the country stone house was wonderful.

Pros: The villa had everything you needed for living and cooking, including 2 cute cats to watch over you. We like the view of delightful rural landscape with a flock of sheep with their gentle bells. To get there you need a car or take taxi.

Calm, soothing, relaxing

Pros: Lovely house with extraordinarily comfy beds (you might want to use one per person), clean, well equipped, outstanding patio with calm views and privacy. Absolute privacy and calm in an olive grove, while only 10-15 mins drive to town and Falassarna. Eleni is a great host and no request is too much.

Cons: WiFi unstable probably due to rather remote location

Pros: Eleni was an amazing, caring and cordial host and really took care so our stay was the best it could be. The location is close to the best beaches in Crete and the nearby town of Kissamos, while still being in the countryside, with great view of the mountains.

Pros: Wonderful corner of Paradise in the real Cretan atmosphere with thé exceptional devices by Eleni and her Kids. Absolutely reccomanded.

Cons: All was perfect

super séjour immergé dans la campagne Crétoise au calme loin du tumulte de la ville...un petit bijou

Pros: le petit déjeuner n 'était pas prévu car c'est un gite mais quand nous sommes arrivés il y avait une corbeille de fruits frais et de gâteaux.. et des bouteilles d'eau minérales au réfrigérateur ..très appréciable Dans un hameau en cours de restauration nous avons apprécié le calme et la tranquillité au milieu des champs d oliviers et de brebis qui paissent dans la colline en face le gîte. .un vrai bonheur. une belle terrasse face à la colline pour profiter de manger dehors.. surtout ne pas suivre waze ou google map pour acceder à ce petit refuge très agréable mais surtout suivre le lien que vous envoie la propriétaires pour y acceder... un petit plus serait un panneau indicateur sur la route principale..mais la propriétaire nous a bien aidé par whatsapp

Cons: un petit plus serait un panneau indicateur sur la route principale

Beautiful quiet place in the mountains

Pros: My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Petrakis' home and would highly recommend this place to everyone. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful place where you can relax after the noise of a big city, this is the place for you. It’s a hidden gem located in the mountains, with wild goats roaming nearby, starry quiet nights, and beautiful nature all around. It’s also close (by car) to some of the most beautiful beaches in Crete—Balos, Phalassarna, and Elafonissi. Eleni is an amazing host who was always there to help whenever we needed anything.

Un petit paradis au milieu des oliviers

Pros: Le site est calme et exceptionnel. Nous avons en plus eu la chance d être les seuls à occuper une des trois maisons.Nous avons beaucoup aimé le style en pierre original et la grande terrasse. Tout est bien équipé. La vue sur les montagnes et l emplacement au milieu des oliviers est top. Vous arrivez à destination après une petite route et un passage au milieu de ruines et puis vous découvrez la maison. Idéalement situé pour rayonner dans les environs. Eleni et son mari était accueillants et très réactifs . Nous y retournerions sans hésitation .

Cons: Le confort des transats sur la terrasse.

Un'oasi di pace e tranquillità

Pros: La casa è un'oasi di pace in cui rilassarsi dopo una giornata al mare. Gli spazi sono ampi, accoglienti e molto curati ed Eleni è una gentilissima host disponibile per ogni consiglio, ci è stata fatta trovare anche frutta fresca al nostro arrivo. La veranda spaziosa permette di godersi le ore serali per una cena o semplicemente rilassandosi sulla sdraio ascoltando le cicale e le campane delle pecore in lontananza. Ottima anche la posizione per raggiungere le spiagge più belle della costa occidentale di Creta.

Un’incantevole evasione

Pros: Tutto, dalla posizione completamente immersa nella natura alla casa in sé. È stato bellissimo Soggiornare in una casa così immersa nella natura, non volevamo più venire via!! Inoltre la casa è molto pulita, grande e con tutti i comfort. Un paradiso!!!

Cons: Niente :) tutto perfetto!!!

Pros: Posizione buona per raggiungere le spiagge ad ovest di Creta, oasi di silenzio e pace, casa tradizionale confortevole e molto rilassante. Patio esterno attrezzato per cene e relax. Ottimo.
