Holiday rentals near Ferma Beach

Elia is a beautiful old property with all mod cons in a stunning location. We stayed six nights and couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. The house is beautifully styled and the view from the upstairs deck is stunning. Eirini was so generous with providing general food provisions including butter, milk, bread, eggs, cheese, ham, beer, fresh fruit, etc. plus all the other basics even washing powder for washing machine. The location is perfect, there is a lovely taverna only 50m away which serves the best food but is a very quiet taverna and you are not bothered by noise at all even being that close. It is so nice each day after returning from the busy touristy locations to return to the quiet and peaceful haven of the village. A short walk away from the house is the Minoan site of Chalasmenos which is certainly worth a visit. Thanks Eirini for a fantastic stay, we loved your house!

The house is perfect for a big group. Plenty of outdoor seating, nice pool, plenty of everything in the kitchen, good hot showers and most importantly the beds are super comfy. The drive in from the main road however, a dirt track about 1km long is not for the faint hearted Also we had issues with the wifi for 3 of our 4 days. It may have been us just not being able to sort it… wifi does appear to be elusive all over Crete. Martin was a super attentive host as were the managing agents. A great launching place to discover the East.
