A little gem
We stayed at Smaragda for two weeks in late August, we were a couple.
We loved the property. It was just the right mixture of off the beaten track and close enough to civilisation if you wanted to take part. The property itself is in a small village, 15 minutes drive up a mountain, with spectacular views. The beauty being that after the very hot day, it would be cool enough to get a break from the heat.
Our time spent in this part of Crete was visiting local places of interest and towns; the many blue flag beaches nearby; sampling the very good food at various Tavernas. The list is endless and we were never stuck for something to do. Ioanna, the owner would regularly inform us of tourism tips, which made us feel very well looked after.
Ioanna has created a beautiful property, inside and out, with great attention to detail. We had the choice of sitting upstairs on one deck, overlooking the beautiful coast, or sitting outside downstairs. And for the very hot times, always a sun umbrella.
The property is well supplied, we were able to make simple meals bought using produce bought locally. In the local area - we were very near quite a large town, Ierepetra - there are a lot of supermarkets; bakeries and fishmongers. By the end of the two weeks knew them all quite well. The choice is very good.
I would highly recommend this property if you are a couple who enjoy being somewhere that has character and enjoy independent travel. I would definitely return, question is when?!
Fantastic
We had such an amazing stay in this property and were genuinely upset to leave. The studio is simply decorated with all the facilities that you need and very comfortable. Air conditioning is available in the bedroom if you need it. The views are fabulous, nestling in the mountains with a view down to the sea. It's perfect for outside living. The garden is a delight and we enjoyed watering it. Plenty of good walking, swimming and sites to visit. The people in Crete were so friendly and we have come back to the UK feeling so rested and re-vitalised.
Lovely old property
The property is beautiful and characterful, it has plenty of room, three double bedrooms, dining room, lounge and kitchen - as well as lots of external room in the form of two terraces. The house was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. There is a walk up some steps to get to the house, and the streets are very narrow, so advise a small hire car. Anatoli is very quiet, but Ierapetra and the pretty town of Myrtos are not far away, as are other Eastern cretian towns and attractions. We chose this house partly for its proximity to the nearby donkey sanctuary where we were volunteering for the week (but you can visit there if you just want to cuddle a donkey or two!) but also because it looked so beautiful in the photos. The house was handed over to us by a lovely lady who spoke good English, it was clean and well maintained. All went very smoothly, no problems at all - we very much enjoyed staying here for the week, it was a lovely peaceful place to return to.
