Marios has shown extreme kindness and exceptional customer attention. The apartment is perfectly located, clean and equipped. It has remarkable access to the bay of Elounda. Perfect for a family stay with children.

Nothing at all !

Actually we did not plan to write a review because we wanted to keep this wonderful spot as our secret. But Marios was such a nice host who supplied us with good ideas for restaurants and trips on the island and was always concerned about our wellbeing. We stayed there for 10 days and had extremely relaxing and private atmosphere . Nearly the whole apartment was completely new renovated and in pristine and very clean condition. Everything we needed was there and fully working. New fridge and freezer, Nespresso machine, microwave, water cooker and toaster ........... 3x aircon, 3TV, 2 bedrooms, nice living room. Perfect working WIFI! And the best of all was the great view from the terraces which we used for breakfast and sundowner. During the day we relaxed in the private Palmtree garden at the private beach. Sometimes Marios father, who lives close by, came and brought us fresh fruits. We definitely can recommend this place and will come back for sure .

That we had to leave back home after 10 days.

Tsifliki Beach House is in the most gorgeous spot, with fabulous views! The main highlight is that it has its own little beach from which you can swim in the clear blue water, as well as the wonderfully hospitable hosts. The private beach has 4 sun loungers, sand and plenty of shade & sunny spots. A large outdoor table is adjacent as well. Only the owners (who live beneath the apartment) have access to the beach too, the property next door has its own little beach although they used the same pier to get into the water. We went in the last week of October/first week November (the very last in the season) and the weather was still warm, as was the sea. Such a treat! I also wanted to commend our wonderful hosts. They were so hospitable and brought us lots of lovely fresh fruit and other treats and had left lots of lovely things in the fridge for us before we arrived too. They got the balance just right: being hospitable and leaving us in peace. In terms of the apartment itself, our children loved their bunk bed room particularly and our room was a good size too with plenty of storage. The open plan living area was a good size, clean and comfortable. There is a little narrow balcony on the water side with a couple of chairs and a table (perfect for a quiet breakfast or evening drink overlooking the water) and a lovely seating area at the side as the photos show (you can still see the sea from here as well as the road). From there, there are steps down to a gate onto the road or across a little patio to the private beach. We parked in a little layby just beyond and opposite the house which always had space when we were there.

There were a few things that needed attention inside the apartment but we realise we were the last week of the season so I'm sure they will all be fixed before the next guests come. The dishwasher and freezer weren't working (although the hosts brought up another little fridge/freezer so we had ice which was very kind) and you couldn't change the bath/shower head to being a bath tap (we just filled the bath with the shower head instead for our children). None of this really caused us any issues. The wifi was also a bit patchy occasionally but we expected that - mostly it was fine, we managed to play music over Spotify every night for example which I was impressed with!
