Summary: The house is clean, completely in order, the kitchen well equipped, enough cutlery and crockery etc. available. Just move in and feel comfortable! Even a cleaning service came in between, which we do not know from elsewhere. Although it is located on a street, it is quiet. Nothing disturbs the sleep. If you are looking for ballyhoo, you are wrong here. The garden is gorgeous. We gladly accepted the offer to help ourselves to all the garden fruits. We looked forward to breakfast in it every day, with fresh, self-picked apelsines straight from the tree. And with bread still warm from the wood-fired bakery next door. Whow! The care of Vasilis and Marili is excellent. Any concerns are taken care of immediately, e.g. defective coffee machines are replaced in an over night service. Thanks to Marili and Vasilis. We will keep the vacation in very good memory and can recommend the accommodation. (PS: Next time I will not call Vasili at midnight and wake him up because I had scrambled the GPS data...)

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Drapanias. The house is very charming and well equipped. Location is perfect for exploring Western Crete away from the tourist spots. Excellent bakery nearby and very good tavern five minutes by car. The garden and little terrace are nice pluses. We loved the oranges, tomatoes and walnuts directly from the tree. We plan to come back

Summary: The house is cozy, tastefully decorated and has everything you need. The garden is lovely. We stayed at the house in April and had fresh oranges from the garden every day. The location is perfect for visiting several beautiful sites. The owners made us feel very welcome and gave us helpful information. Would definitely stay here again.

Summary: A lovely house, tastefully renovated, set in a large, peaceful garden, in walking distance from the sea. There's a market, a good baker a few steps away, as well as fresh eggs and vegetables from the garden, but despite that and the fully-equipped kitchen, we couldn't resist the many excellent (and very reasonably priced) restaurants less than ten minutes drive from the house. The location is perfect to visit the west of Crete...Balos beach, Samaria gorge, Chania, and the botanical park are among the many excursions we enjoyed.

Summary: Lovely atmosphere, and pretty well everything worked -- not something you always expect in Crete! We found the Cottage ideal as a base both for hanging out and exploring Western Crete. Bakery and general store just a short walk away. The hosts were both welcoming and very generous with the garden produce. Where else does it rain walnuts?

Summary: We loved our stay at this modernized old home. Exactly as described in a country setting with garden and fresh produce. Quaint little village within a few meters and even walked to the beach without much effort. Very clean with all of the amenities we would expect. Vasilis was there to meet us when we arrived and explained all of the details of the house and surrounding areas, including the history of his family that originally occupied the home. We stayed for four nights using the the cottage as our home base for day trips to Elafonissi beach (amazing), Somaria Gorge (long), and Falassarna beach near Kissamos (windy). Vasilis was helpful with tips about local restaurants, what beaches to visit and how to get to the gorge! Could not have asked for more. We highly recommend and would stay there again next time we are in Crete.

Summary: Horizonte cottage is more or less in the centre of the village of Drapanias, a few seconds' walk from a small mini-market, several tavernas and two bakeries. The property itself has been immaculate restored to a very high standard, whilst retaining its character as a stone-built, Cretan house. Everything has been well thought through, and the standard of furnishing, equipment and decoration is excellent. During our two-week stay, the property was cleaned at least three times, and new bedding and towels provided on each occasion. The cottage is set in the most beautiful garden, with olive trees, a walnut tree, pomegranates and oranges. There is a vegetable patch, and a flock of hens in a large enclosure. There is a hammock, table and chairs, and a swing seat in a tree. The customer service provided by the owners and their family is quite simply astonishingly good. Not only are they lovely, lovely people they are also extremely generous. So many evenings we would come back after a day of exploring and there would be fruit, or vegetables, pastries or eggs waiting for us and we were very warmly encouraged to help ourselves to the produce in the garden and to collect eggs from the friendly hens. The owners take genuine delight in caring for their customers and it is a privilege to spend time with them. Drapanias is very well situated to explore the west of Crete. The KTEL bus to Chania stops in the village, again, a few seconds' walk from the cottage; there is parking next to the cottage and easy access both to the mountain roads and to the national road which runs from Kissamos/Kastelli eastwards to Iraklion. Kissamos/Kastelli is a most interesting small town, with many ancient sites. The beach at Drapanias is about 10-15 minutes' walk from the cottage. It is quiet, and a mixture of shingle and sand. There is a nice taverna/bar which looks after sunbeds and shades on the beach which are free, though it seemed courteous to buy a drink in the taverna. All in all, this is an excellent, beautiful property in a most interesting area, made outstanding by the generosity and friendliness of the owners. We are already booking our return trip. We genuinely could not recommend it highly enough.
