Casa grande, tranquilla e riposante, ben attrezzata, Alcuni aspetti da migliorare.
L'esperienza che abbiamo avuto della proprietà è stata complessivamente buona e il rapporto qualità / presso è ottimo.
La tranquillità del luogo e il grande spazio esterno sono aspetti vincenti.
La casa è ben fornita di attrezzature e le camere sono accoglienti, anche se non grandissime; uno dei bagni è un po' piccolo.
Gli aspetti da migliorare:
*Nell'annuncio veniva presentata la presenza di connessione wi-fi, che invece non era presente.
*Da migliorare decisamente la pulizia della cucina, stoviglie, frigo, etc. che non era adeguata.
*Il sig. Menelaos non l'abbiamo potuto incontrare, ha risposto solamente ad alcuni SMS, soddisfacendo parzialmente alle nostre richieste.

Maravillosa casa de campo
Aunque no conocimos a Menelaos, nos recibieron sus padres de manera muy afectuosa y nos dejaron unos fantásticos productos típicos de creta recién preparados. La casa ideal decorada, cómoda y acogedora .
Estancia muy recomendable. Nuestras vacaciones han sido fantasticas.
