Vacation rentals in Lefka Ori

“Authentic and nicely decorated mansion in a simple village southwest of Chania. At the foot of the Lefka Ori (white mountains). Fully renovated home adjacent to an olive grove. Beautiful and unobstructed view from the 1st floor and the terrace on the hills up to the north coast of Crete (towards Rethymno). In the spring a fantastic green nature with lots of flowers and birds. Sheep herds are herded in the surrounding mountains. For the feta of course. The house is spacious and sleek with a spacious bedroom on the 1st floor and a spacious living room with dining room. There are several height differences (steps) in and in front of the house. That also makes it playful. There is a wood burning stove with wood that we fired a single evening in April 2019. The bathroom / toilet is a bit far away from the bedroom. The kitchen is modern. The kitchen is accessed separately from the home through a small courtyard adjacent to the front door. Via Vryses you can easily get on the highway to the east. The same goes for the nearest long sandy beach of Georgioupolis (20 minutes). And for example to Rethymno and beyond. Chania and the rest of the west of Crete are also relatively close and easy to reach by driving via the village of Fres to the highway 90 (E75). The hosts Antonios and Sophia are very nice, hospitable and helpful. They have created a small paradise in Tzitzifes.”

“Our stay in Crete, hosted by the extremely hospitable Vassilis was absolute perfection! The quiet village of Tzitzifes exceeded any and all of our expectations. Neighbors were very kind and courteous, the kittens in the villa doun the road were playful and the location was simply magical. Upon arrival, we were instantly provided with a suitable atmosphere to relax, connect with nature, and experience the vibrant, beautiful local culture. This home was warm and welcoming; Vassilis even left us a welcome basket of bread and jams! The house itself was gorgeous! Fully restored to its former beauty. It was cozy, clean, and wonderfully decorated. Anything you could wish for in a long- or short-term stay. Fully functioning kitchen, large bedrooms, comfortable lounge area, and full bathroom, complete with a washer. For those of you who are on the taller side, keep in mind the shower is a tad small😉but it is of no matter. Aside from a very minor detail. You will love everything about this home! It was UTTERLY FANTASTIC! Our favorite room was the master bedroom. The renovated ancient stone archways, and the candle-lit stone wall was an authentic experience that enabled us to feel truly at peace. Perhaps the best room to mediate and ruminate on the day excursions we participated in. and renovated stone structure that makes one feel truly at peace. The courtyard was an experience all its own. There fresh fruit trees, plenty of sitting area, and it is placed at just the right angle to enjoy the warm mid-afternoon sunshine! Again, we cannot provide enough compliments about your future host, Vassilis. He was incredible. His responses were immediate, he was very sweet and enjoyed giving suggestions about places to go, food to try, and was an excellent conversation companion. He was indulgent to every request and went out of his way to make us feel happy and comfortable. It is obvious to see why he has so many positive reviews from previous guests. He wants his guests to have truly memorable experiences, this was evident through his recommendations and openness to share his life and experiences. A tremendous highlight of our trip was meeting his vibrant, beautiful, and delightfully lovely grandmother, Vangelio. She is a truly wonderful person with a beautiful story who is happy to share it😊 We are so lucky to have had the chance to meet her! Overwhelmingly, however, Vassilis became our friend, and we look forward to always keeping in touch withhim. We look forward to the next time we are together! Vassilis, thank you a million times over for our experience in Crete! It was truly magical, and much of that is thanks to you. You are a remarkable person who gives so much energy to the world! We appreciate every moment of our trip!”

“Great experience. The house is very beautiful and spacious, with a large garden. It is surrounded by nature, with a beautiful view of the mountains. The position is particular: it is located in the mountains, you have to calculate 30 minutes for chania and as many to return, so obviously to go to the more distant beaches you have to calculate the times well. We were nevertheless able to see them all and it was not worth it. Highly recommended if you are looking for nature and tranquility, less if you want to do evenings around. The house is really beautiful and equipped with everything. The best aspect was the hospitality of giannis and his father, who welcomed us personally and toasted us, gave us raki, vegetables from the garden and typical desserts. They also specially cleaned the bbq for us to use. Giannis always very helpful and quick to answer and to give advice. Beautiful experience, really recommended”
