We spent a week in winter, over new year, in Pitsidia in this wonderful house. It offers all the conditions to enjoy a dreamlike and relaxing holiday even in the colder months.
A stove with attached central heating ensures comforting temperatures and coziness in the evenings.
Three spacious and beautifully furnished bedrooms with double beds and really good mattresses, as well as two additional single beds in the gallery offer ample space for 6 to 8 people.
The fully equipped open kitchen and the adjoining cozy living room with panoramic views allowed us every evening to conjure a feast and to enjoy this completely relaxed.
In one day we could at 25 degrees! even use the sunbathing areas around the pool for sunbathing.
Breakfast and afternoon coffee were available every day on the sun terrace.
The location of the house is totally quiet and offers a fantastic unobstructed view of the countryside and the Ida Mountains, although it is only a few minutes walk in the center.
What do you wish for more?
Many people know that southern Crete is an ideal destination from spring to autumn.
But not that even the mild winter months offer a very special charm for hikers and nature lovers. After the first rain in October / November, the previously dehydrated landscape will blossom again. The whole island is covered by a green carpet of clover and anemones. We sometimes believed we were in Ireland and not in Crete.
If you have not experienced this, you can hardly imagine it.
But to enjoy the winter in Crete, it needs a really well-equipped and comfortable accommodation.
And this is the Villa Irida absolutely.
Finally, even after much thought, nothing came to mind that we would have missed or disliked.
Therefore 6 out of 5 possible points for this house and its very sympathetic and always helpful owners Sasa and Mike.
We will be back !!!
