The house breathes a soothing Cretan ambience from the moment you step into the front courtyard through a blue wooden door harking from the tranquil village lane. The ground floor houses the kitchen and bedroom, with a peaceful bathroom.
From the kitchen, amble into your wonderful living/dining room, warmed with a wood-burning stove, and flow naturally into the spacious back courtyard. This outdoor realm is partly shaded, primed for a barbeque, and comes complete with a sink, shower, and independent entrance from a lane at the house's rear.
The adventure continues as you ascend the wooden stairs from the front courtyard, taking you into a delightful terrace flaunting a breathtaking panoramic view of the Kavousi valley. It also lets you peek at the surrounding mountains and glimpse a hint of the sea echoed transparently in the distance.
