Wonderful holydays !

3 months in this beautiful mill were really fantastic ! We enjoyed everything and were spécially happy about the situation, the quality and the originality of the spot. Great period, still fresh and often we were the only strange strangers ! We made a warm fire everyday and had great instructive conversations with Lefteris and Kate. Unforgetable holydays and we recomand absolutely !

Erholsame Tage im Oktober

Wir hatten eine schöne, erholsame Woche in der schön renovierten Windmühle. Der Besitzer wohnt direkt hinter der Windmühle und es befinden sich noch 3 weitere geschmackvolle Ferienhäuser auf dem großen, gepflegten Grundstück. Wir haben uns jedoch zu keiner Zeit gestört gefühlt. Der Besitzer ist ein sehr freundlicher Herr, er spricht hervorragend Englisch. In dem großen Garten waren gerade die Granatäpfel reif und wir durften uns jeden Morgen einen zum Frühstück holen, herrlich!!! Die Windmühle ist, wie beschrieben, auf 3 Ebenen, nur Kinderzimmer und Bad haben Türen. Leider war über dem Ehebett kein Moskitonetz und die kleinen Viecher fanden trotz Gitter vor den Fenstern immer wieder den Weg zu uns. Was sehr lästig war!! Auch muss man bei Nacht einen guten Schlaf haben, da die Holztreppe zum Schlafbereich extrem laut knarrt wenn einer zur Toilette geht. Stört selbst im Kinderzimmer. Die Betten selber sind sehr bequem. Der Küchenbereich hatte schon deutliche Abnutzungsspuren an den Schränken und den Gegenständen. Dies hat uns jedoch nicht wirklich gestört da wir in der Regel außer Frühstück nichts weiteres in der Küche zubereiteten. Das Bad ist klein aber sehr schön, vielleicht noch 2 weiter Hacken für die Handtücher wäre toll. Im Außenbereich ist viel Platz und es war zu der Jahreszeit herrlich ruhig so das wir uns gut vorstellen können erneut dort unseren Urlaub zu verbringen, jedoch dann eher in den hübschen kleinen Ferienhäusern auf dem Grundstück.

A Charming Crete Windmill Getaway

Our family recently enjoyed a week at a delightful windmill property near Sitia, and it was an enchanting experience. The windmill seamlessly combined modern comfort with traditional charm, offering a cozy and well-equipped retreat. The host's warm hospitality was a highlight, with fresh garden produce adding an authentic touch to our meals. Surrounded by the beauty of Crete and view to the sea. Our children loved the unique setting, where they could explore and take care of the property's cats. In summary, our week was a magical escape, offering an authentic and memorable family vacation. Highly recommended!
