Wonderful spring holiday

We enjoyed close to 3 weeks at 1891 Home, in Kefalas, Crete. It really did feel like our home away from home. Alexandra greeted us at the door, even as we arrived later than expected. She explained some of the history of the Home, and its importance to her, her family and the community. I have some dietary needs, and she went out of her way to make sure we had some gluten free food in the house until we could purchase our own. Alexandra made sure that we were able to contact her if needed, anytime of day. The house is immaculate, well stocked and very comfortable. The views of the Mediterranean Sea are spectacular, morning, noon and night. We found the place to be exactly as advertised, and would highly recommend it to others.

Spectacular Views!

Alexandra was a delightful hostess, who also well explained the colorful family history of the property. The property is very well kept and the yard is stunning, very well designed (I suspect by Alexandra). We were left a nice supply of basic staples, as well as lovely Cretan red wine and Raki. She helped make sure that we were able to find our route to the property and was there to greet us. It is a small village and the people were friendly.

1891 Home - A Cretan Dream!

We wanted our week-long stay at 1891 Home to last forever! The pictures are spectacular and yet even more breathtaking in person! It is a stunning and spacious Cretan home, very comfortable for our family of four, impeccably decorated, and loaded with charm and character with all the modern amenities. We feel lucky to have experienced such beauty. Alexandra is a wonderful, warm, and considerate host, who greeted us upon arrival and was very responsive throughout the entire booking process. She welcomed us with traditional homemade food from her mother, as well as wine, olive oil, a basket of fresh tomatoes, as well as other delicious and luscious local food, and a fridge stocked with the essentials. She provided tons of information about the house and the area which was very helpful. The walls are lined with photos of her ancestors who owned the olive mill that was beautifully converted into the home. The pool was the icing on the cake, with magical views, and provided us with hours of relaxation and fun. Kefalas itself is off the beaten path yet perfectly located, with a brief walk to the local supermarket and taverna and easy drives to tons of beautiful beaches and places to explore, and is even a doable drive to Elafonisi beach. 1891 Home will always hold a special place in our hearts and was the highlight of our time in Crete. It made our family vacation incredibly special with memories to last a lifetime. We look forward to a return visit! Efcharisto Alexandra!

Authentic Renovated Greek Home

From the moment we got there and were welcomed by Alexandra, we felt right at home. Alexandra warmly greeted us with the history of her family home and gave us a tour. The house was perfect in every way and immaculate! It had old world charm with all the modern conveniences including the infinity pool with an amazing view. The welcome treats included her Mom's homemade cookies which were delicious. Although the house is in a remote location, you can walk to the local stores and restaurants for a delicious meal. There are multiple beaches nearby within a short drive. It was the perfect get-away! Thank you to Alexandra for a wonderful stay in your family home :)

Perfect Holiday

Sometimes I don’t want to put good reviews because then it will get booked up when I want to come back :) If you read the description and it’s what your after then look no further. Everything was exactly as we wanted for our holiday, we like a bit of privacy and having a place to ourselves when we want to relax. Local tavernas not far away by car and shops with the essentials a 5 minute stroll away. Alexandra was on hand for any questions or advice for things to do and we can’t wait to return.
