If you are looking for a small town Crete experience this is a good place for that. Everyone was friendly, the house was cute and looked like the pictures. The hosts dinner recommendation, a short walk away, for Ethimiko, was very good. The only real issue we had was that the WiFi was not connecting in the room. If you want a disconnected experience this is your spot. The host did let us know they are working on getting a router for the room so this may be fixed soon.

This is a unique opportunity to stay in an old house in a small village up in the hills. Don’t expect modern features, but there was plenty of hot water, cable television, and a good local taberna. The Expedia listing says “breakfast provided,” but don’t expect more than coffee in the apartment. When I asked the owner, she just told me where to buy bread in the morning! The only serious problem was that the property owner claimed she never got our reservation from Expedia and that she never got any of my phone calls or texts confirming our arrival. So, when we got to the property, it was locked, and no one in town spoke English! In the end, the owner did arrive and gave us a choice of any of the apartments. So, if you go, be sure to make contact with the owner before you show up!

The property was perfect for what I was looking for—a place to sleep for a couple of nights while I explored the area around Heraklion. The landlady was there to greet me and offer me a lot of great suggestions for eating locally, local attractions, etc. The apartment was spotlessly clean and quite comfortable enough for a couple of days’ stay. There is a small café in the village square about 100m down the street and a nice taverna with a spectacular view within a few minutes’ walk. The village is about half-an-hour’s drive from Heraklion. My only criticism is that it was a little bit noisier than I would have liked. The location is in the center of the village opposite the church and the door and all the windows open directly onto the street. The "dawn chorus" of roosters and dogs was difficult to sleep through.

It was a unique home to stay in. It was quiet and in a more rural location. The neighbours were friendly and welcoming too! It was handy to have a basic kitchen to make meals in. The only thing I didn't like was the floor tile in the bathrooms. It was uncomfortable on bare feet. Otherwise, good place to stay.

Away from the chaos of Heraklion
Staying at the traditional Cretan house was perhaps the highlight of the trip to Crete. The property is 20km from the city, but easily accessible if you have a car, however there are cab and bus service. The experience of a small welcoming Cretan village is enveloping. The small cafe,grocery stores and the second floor restaurant recommended by the owner, Popi, was outstanding....totally unexpected in a small town...broad selection of menus choices. Nice option to have if you don't want to drive in the dark on mountain roads. The owner, Popi was helpful friendly and a great host. Similar to another reviewer, I missed the 'notify the host of arrival time' request, and had a moment or two of anxiety which was quickly allayed by the villagers, confirming that indeed I was in the right place. Don't be put off by the drive, its lovely. In the heart of wine country.

A great find
We absolutely loved this "hotel"-- more a small-scale restoration project in a small Cretan village. I saw some of the reviews that complained about having to wait to get in, etc.-- I think perhaps they don't have the right frame of mind. The confirmation does request to notify the host of an arrival time-- I failed to notice this, and so we had a few drinks at a local cafe after we contacted the host. The apartments are beautifully restored, the village is authentic and non-touristy, and the restaurant recommended by the host was one of our best meals. As long as you come in with the right expectations, this is a great find.

Great stay!
Located in a small village, the owner drove it to let us into our room. We had to wait a bit at the nearby cafe...which was lovely! She was gracious and showed us around the apartments. She tidied the rooms a bit during our arrival. We checked into the room and had planned to cook in the kitchen, but found limited selections in the nearby stores. We decided to eat at a nearby restaurant. The owner went with us and we had a great evening! We met several of the local people and she discussed life in Crete with us. We only stayed one night, but would have enjoyed exploring the town more. Great unexpected experience!

Traditional Cretan House - Requires Attention
No useable internet. Cooking and eating utensils are inadequate, poor quality and were not clean. Basic cleaning and other materials not supplied - eg no bathmat - concrete floor, no chux or similar, no tea towel,.... No shower curtain so bathroom floods when one has a shower - requires proper shower doors to be fitted. Heating turned off without warning the last night. TV is very small, inconveniently placed in the apartment, very old (set top box) and did not work properly. Only Greek channels available. No change of towels (stayed 4 nights) despite asking. We had to make the bed ourselves.

Nice out of the way place to stay
We did not actually stay overnight. I booked the house and did not realize the interior included a tight spiral stair for access to the Bedroom above the Living Room. My wife has vertigo problems and could not deal with the thought of climbing that stair. The owner was very understanding and cancelled our stay without cost. Otherwise the place looked charming with very nice views of the valley below. The old stone houses have been nicely renovated with care and have character. I wish we could have stayed.

Highlight of Honeymoon in Crete!
We initially had booked 2 nights here and had fortunately not booked any of our 3 remaining nights in Crete. As soon as we stepped foot in the place, we immediately booked another 2 nights. The house was amazing! It had a full kitchen, loft, wooden spiral staircase, 2 bathrooms, and 2 balconies. The village itself was very quaint and friendly with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. The local restaurant had delicious traditional food at inexpensive prices and a great balcony view of Iraklio. Overall a great value and memorable experience. Definitely recommend!

Excellent Self-Catering, Agios Myronas
We had a very enjoyable stay in a quiet village, <1,000 very friendly inhabitants, a 20km drive to closest city and beaches and close to historical/archaeological sites and tavernas serving traditional food. Eating out locally is reasonably priced. A car is a must for touring the island and a good, detailed, road map. Our sat nav identified some highly suspect tracks as minor roads. The house, Sophia, is compact. Ideal for 2 people with all the basics for a short stay. Downstairs; a long narrow toilet & shower room with basin, a kitchen/diner inc fridge/freezer and a lounge. No washing machine for longer stay. Upstairs; a king bedroom and a terrace. Items for breakfast can be bought daily from the local shop and the baker bakes daily both 2-min walk away. You take your rubbish from the house to the local waste collection point on the outskirts of the village. Some adverts we've seen since our return state all houses' beds have memory foam mattresses, The Sophia does not. The bed was very hard. I slept on the mattress from the sofa bed on top of the bed mattress. On arrival we were dissuaded from having breakfast, being told we could buy the same ingredients from the same shop for less. This stay was booked for us and we were expecting self-catering. We did not expect memory foam mattresses, in-room breakfasts, on-site restaurants or spa treatments. Some may read the adverts, expect more and be disappointed. It isn't part of a complex. Amenities are available close by.

Wonderful place to stay
This place is an amazing deal - even though I saw the online photos first and thought it looked too good to be true, it's even better than it looks. Wonderful views from the balconies and simply beautiful inside with the woodwork and double floors. WiFi works great as does air conditioner, bed and shower facilities are great. Very comfortable stay and the nearby village of Agios Myronas is a treasure - beautiful countryside and an amazing church are right next to you, as well as fantastic restaurant (Ethnikos). The owner, Popi, is incredibly nice and helpful. Very highly recommended!

Very lovely and unique experience
Traditional Cretan Houses was by far the most unique accommodation that we experienced during our time in Greece. The homes are beautifully restored and it felt like a very athentic experience in a local village. Miss Poppy was wonderful, warm and extremely helpful. She really went the extra mile, especially in getting us settled with a very late arrival. The biggest challenge was location, as the homes are a bit outside of the main town and our GPS did not work very well. But once we got oriented, the location was actually very serene and picturesque. Recommend very highly!!

Cretan village life at it's best
We had a very long journey to Crete thanks to an airport shutdown but couldn't have been happier when we finally arrived in the dark and rain. The property is in a lovely little mountain village (really the best one we saw on the island) on a ridge with views in all directions. It's stunning! The house is a perfect place to relax and is centrally located to so many places - Heraklion, Matala, ruins, etc. Everything you need is close by - market, post office, pharmacy, taverna..... And the house is picture perfect! It's very old, fully restored and tastefully decorated. The owner takes very good care of you and if you're lucky, may even cook up something delicious! ;)

Superb
It was the best accommodation experience in our 2 week stay in Greece. We had a 3 storey house with 2 bedrooms and 2 toilets, beautifully decorated living room, kitchen and laundry facilities for only 45 euros a night. That was definitely a bargain and a great very special experience. The lady who runs the place was extremely helpful. The house is located in a wonderful small village where things are based on trust and it has a great atmosphere. There is a nice restaurant with a beautiful view over Iraklio serving delicious and cheap! food in the evenings. It was a superb experience and it was a pity we only stayed there for 1 night. I would definitely recommend it to everyone and would definitely go back! Try it and you won't regret it.

Huge cottages in a lovely setting
The houses of Popi are really big and spacious with all equipment and furniture you need for a great vacation. We had a two-story-house with two little balconies, two bathrooms, one huge bedroom on the second floor and a big and cozy living room on the first floor. In the living room you can also find a kitchenette with oven, fridge, freezer, water boiler, coffee machine and all other stuff. The furntiture and decoration are in Greek style which we liked a lot. Additionally you have airconditioning on both floors. The house is located in a quiet and small street but we had bad luck with a barking dog early in the morning.... The village Agios Mironas is very small but you’ll find everything you need in the nearby mini markets, bakery, pharmacy and restaurants. Be careful which road you take to Agios Mironas. Our GPS once leaded us up a very steep, narrow and rocky road which we would never take again, because it was kind of dangerous. But all other ways to the village are tared and easy accessible. Popi provided us with lots of useful information and recommendations and we felt very cared for and relaxed all time. We would return and can highly recommend you to book an accommodation of Traditional Cretan Houses!

Nur äusserlich ein hübsches Domizil
Wir kamen mit 2 Tagen Verspätung an - wir hatten Probleme mit dem Flug. Der Eincheck bei Ankunft geschah im Schnelldurchlauf, wir stellten erst, nachdem die Besitzerin entschwunden war, folgendes fest: Es gab in der Küche kein warmes Wasser, keinen Herd, keine Teller, nur einen Schnellkochtopf, keine Weingläser. Der Fernseher funktionierte nicht. Im Bad war das Waschbecken verstopft, wir haben es selbst gängig gemacht, die Dusche und das Waschbecken hatte kein Heisswasser, erst nach Anruf bei der Vermieterin, fanden wir die Schalter für das Heisswasser. Am letzten Tag ging auch die Pumpe nicht mehr, es lief gar kein Wasser mehr. Das Appartement hatte keinen Kleiderschrank und der Ofen befand sich in Form eines Miniherdes mit 3 Platten und einer Röhre in einem Abstellraum auf einem Regal, Strom kam aus der Kanelrolle und ich musste mich zum Kochen auf eine Leiter stellen, ausserdem war er, wie die ganze Wohnung, verdreckt. Am vorletzten Tag erschien die Besitzerin mit Tellern, Gläsern etc. Und putzte die Wohnung. Fazit: NIE WIEDER!

Dejligt ophold i kretahus i skønne omgivelser
Positivt: At bo i et sådant hus kan ikke sammenlignes med at bo på hotel. Der var en atmosfære, som gjorde det til en ganske særlig oplevelse at være i huset; stemningsfuldt på alle måder. Dertil var landsbyen dejlig at være i, et autentisk og afslappet sted. Der er en taverne i hver ende af byen, og især den ene har et rigtig dejligt køkken. Fra landsbyen er der fine muligheder for traveture ud i det skønne landskab med olivenlunde og vinmarker. Kritisk: Vi fik dårlig information om husets beliggenhed i landsbyen og måtte vente længe i mørke på, at udlejeren ankom og lukkede os ind. Huset fungerede perfekt for os, men for nogen vil de mange trapper og trin nok være et problem. Huset har få vinduer og er altså temmelig mørkt, og de elektriske belysninger er efter dansk standard slet ikke tilfredsstilende. Badeværelset er for så vidt OK, men meget snævert, og møbleringen i huset gør adgangen til det besværlig. Der er køkken, men det kan ikke bruges til meget, da det kun er beskedent udstyret; det er dog nemt at indtage alle måltider ude i byen. Vi havde problemer med at opvarme huset, fordi et system til at åbne og lukke for varmen ikke var korrekt indstillet. Det blev dog rettet efter tre-fire dage, og derefter var huset meget behageligt at være i. Også Wi-Fi systemet gav problemer, og da vi havde brug for daglig netadgang måtte vi tage en kafé i landsbyen til hjælp. Der gik igen tre-fire dage, inden systemet virkede, hvilket var både tidskrævende og frustrerende.

Maison cretoise
La propriétaire est très gentille. Le logement a du charme. On se trouve dans un petit village hors de la grande ville.

Schöne Unterkunft, verbesserungswürdiger Service
Wir haben das Haus Dias gebucht. Unsere Erwartungen wurden teilweise erfüllt. Das Dorf, Agios Myronas, ist einfach nur süß - ein kleines Bergdorf, zwar nah an Heraklion, aber sehr ruhig und sehr freundlich. Das Haus ist schön - ein altes kretisches Haus, im traditionellen Stil gebaut, sehr rustikal und auch ganz gut ausgestattet. Die hier gefundene Beschreibung trifft allerdings nur bedingt zu. Wer hier bucht, der bucht ein ganz Haus- und ist damit eher auf sich gestellt. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich, allerdings nicht dauerhaft vor Ort und teils auch etwas unorganisiert. Angegebene Ausstattungsmerkmale fehlen (Safe, Haartrockner, Espressomaschine). Die Küche ist grundausgestattet, ein Aufstocken der Bestände mit vernünftigem Besteck, Küchenmessern, Pfanne u.ä wäre wünschenswert. Die in der Beschreibung aufgeführte "Regelmäßige Zimmerreinigung" gibt es nicht - es sei denn, der Gast putzt selbst. Während des gesamten Aufenthalts fand keine Reinigung des Hauses statt - grenzwertig. Austausch von Handtüchern und Bettwäsche erfolgte erst auf Nachfrage, Toilettenpapier kauft man irgendwann selbst, den Müll nimmt man eben mit, wenn man eh unterwegs ist - auch dieser Service ist deutlich verbesserungswürdig. Einem Ausfall des WLAN wurde schnell abgeholfen, ein nicht wirklich funktionierender Duschabfluss blieb - obwohl der Vermieterin mitgeteilt - während des ganzen Aufenthalts bestehen. Zusammenfassend: schöner Urlaub. Nochmal buchen würden wir es so wohl aber nicht.

Superbe cadre mais service pas au rendez vous
Les maisonnettes sont superbes : du charme et bien équipées. Par contre, les anciens occupants etaient encore la quand nous sommes arrivés, et le ménage n avait pas été faits lorsque nous sommes revenus : certaines affaires des anciens occupants etaient encore la (produits de douche, nourriture dans le refrigerateur, vaiselle en train de secher...). Ils manquaient des draps et le lit n etait pas fait ! La gerante avait toutefois essayé de nous appeler avant notre arrivé.

Le village est très joli,les vues magnifiques,mais vous êtes regardé de la tête aux pieds par certain villageois,des regards méchants,sauf le café près d un restaurant ou la serveuse était gentille,et le restaurant ou nous dinions tous. Les soirs,ainsi que l épicier qui se trouvait près de l hôtel,la propriétaire nous ne l'avons vue qu une fois,le frigo était sale avec une bouteille de lait du mois de juin,la poussière partout,quand a la terrasse la table était sale ainsi que la terrasse pleine de tâches de bougies,nous n avons pas vue la propriétaire pendant notre séjour d une semaine même pas a notre départ nous avons mis la clé sous sa porte,très mauvaise experience ' il y avait également des scolopendres ou mille patte qui sortaient de la bouche d,évacuation des eaux de la douche ...! , insecte ceci dit dit dont la morsure peut s,avérer dangereuse ! , pas de téléphone , et des cheveux partout y compris sur le frigidaire ... , bref Poppy n,est pas la de nous revoir dans l,une de ses maisons traditionnelles !!! ,
