We are a couple and we have stayed in many self catering properties in different countries and this was by far the most memorable. We have read the reviews about the hospitall;ity of the owner we always check all the details..It different when you go there. From the minute we walked from the parking area to the Cottage after following Manolis detailed directions until the day we left, we were treated like family. Upon arrival, The house was so well stocked from from a full fridge of milk, cheese (2 different types), bread , butter, eggs from Manolis hens,amazing tomatoes from the garden nearby, bacon, fruits,wine, raki we didn’t need to go out the next day!Moreover the Cottage is full equipped with 2 different very good quality coffee makers for espresso and filtered coffee. How amazing to find this level of attention and care. Manolis is a young and very intelligent man. From the first moment he understood what kind of thing we like so he gave us the best tips for these. We followed his advises and...We would never found all these hidden places..So beautiful , so traditional so unspoiled. I have to mention the big advantage of the location of the Cottage, 2 very good taverns in walking distance, the motorway 5 minutes drive,very close to Kolimvari village for fresh fish etc, close to Chania, close to Falassarna (Manolis insisted to stay there till the sunset, we didn;t manage it but next time), close to Palaiohora and the wonderful beaches there.
During our staying Manolis asked us if we need anything , if we have any problem he was always there....And he also broughty us one of the most fantastic cvheese pies (they call it kalitsounos) we have ever tasted...The only bad thing if you rent this Cottage is that you need to leave.....We came back to Germany...But we have already made plans for the next year...
Thank you Manolis
