Owner profile
About the owner
Tom and Claire Mein. We have lived here in Horafakia, Crete for 6 years. Prior to this we owned pubs in South Shields, Tyne & Wear. Life here is peaceful and slow - we enjoy lazy months through the winter and a really hectic time through the summer. The villas and gardens and 2 little dogs, Milly & Poppy keep us pretty fit. We enjoy the wonderful views and fantastic local food and love to share a bit of it with our friends and guests.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Beautiful scenery - we are situated in a country lane just on the outskirts of our village. We have a spectacular view of the White Mountains which are covered in snow until mid-end of April. The beaches are wonderful, soft white or golden sands gently shelving into the baby blue waters. Great food, fantastic fresh vegetables. What more is there!
Unique benefits of the property
Our villas and site are lovely, every year we try to introduce something new both inside and out. For 2011 we have re-furbished our swimming pool - it has taken a few years for us to 'save up' for this job as the pool is very large and the tiling pretty expensive. It looks great and we are really pleased with the job. New blinds, cushions and some other soft furnishings are new this year too. We put a lot of effort into making our villas just a little bit special and we know that it is really appreciated by our customers and friends who re-visit year after year.
