A beautiful cottage with stunning views

The cottage has been designed and built with great care and attention to detail - there's plenty of room inside for two but the terrace outside has it's own cooking facilities so when the weather's warm you just live outside and take in the views over olive groves and the Mediterranean. Aliki lives next door with her family and gave us a great welcome. Little gifts of fruit and wine made us feel like special guests. She recommended local tavernas, beaches and sites, many of which we'd never have found without her guidance. You need a car to explore the eastern end of the island - there's far more to see and do than we could manage over a week's stay. The mountains are spectacular and there are beaches with very few people around. The food is mostly localy produced and delicious. Fresh fish, fruit and vegetables better than anything available at home. Cretans are friendly, kind and embarrassingly fluent in English. We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend Aliki's cottage.

Natur und Ruhe

Erholsam: Schöne Wohnung und Aussenbereich, ruhig in der Natur gelegen mit toller Aussicht, vor allem vom oberen Stock. Ein Auto ist notwendig. Sehr liebe und achtsame Gastgeber mit Tipps für Ausflüge, Umgebung etc. . Ein Stern weniger bei Umgebung für fehlende bequeme Liegen im Garten. Die eine vorhandene war nicht so bequem. Dafür war der grosse Sitzbereich Aussen überdacht und quasi windgeschützt. Grundsätzlich für Paare sehr empfehlenswert, vor allem wenn man selbst kocht. Zu berücksichtigen ist hier, dass im November immer mehr Tavernen schliessen. Für uns war es insgesamt perfekt.

Erholung pur in toller Lage bei einer überaus freundlichen Gastgeberin

Wir waren eine Woche wirklich zu Gast bei Aliki, die mehr ist als nur eine Vermieterin. Sie stand uns mit guten Tipps für Ausflüge und Lokale zur Seite. Das von ihr entworfene Gästehaus ist sehr gemütlich und intelligent eingerichtet und war auch bei heißen Temperaturen angenehmn klimatisiert. Besonders genossen haben wir den Freisitz und die ruhige Lage. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen in Ost-Kreta, aber auch ein schöner Ort, um zu entspannen und die Seele in wohltuender Umgebung baumeln zu lassen.

Besonderer Flair

Das Haus und die Terrasse/ Garten sind sehr schön gestaltet, man sieht die Handschrift der Vermieterin die Architektin ist. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und eine schöne Zeit dort verbracht. Die Vermieterin hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und und viele Tipps für Ausflüge und Tavernen gegeben. Die Vermieter wohnen nebenan aber achten sehr auf die Privatsphäre der Gäste. Wir hatten einen Mietwagen und sind viel Wandern gewesen, die Strände die wir besucht haben waren alle sehr schön. Im großen und ganzen haben wir so den Osten der Insel in 14 Tagen gut kennengelernt.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in Oase der Entspannung

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche bei tollen Gastgebern in diesem stylisch und komfortabel entworfenen Haus das ideal für 2 Person ist. Die Räume, der überdachte Aussenbereich und der Garten sind eine wahre Oase! Aliki hat uns mit tollen Tipps für Ausflüge und Tavernen versorgt und war stets zur Stelle ohne je aufdringlich zu sein. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und konnten auch rasch abschalten. Wir kommen gerne wieder, Danke für Alles!

About the host

Hosted by Alice Palamianakis

I was born in Crete and grow up in Athens.
After the school I began to study architecture in Vienna , I became my diploma and started to work in several architecture offices and as a freelance architect.
In the year 2000 I met my husband in Crete and after 3 years I mooved with my office there. Today I live with my husband and my son in the mainhouse of the property.

Why they chose this property

We love south Crete!!! The south-east coast of Crete is not crowded with tourists and its natural environment remains untouched from mass tourism. Having our guesthouse as a starting point, there are several places inside the town of Ierapetra and in the villages around, which are worthwhile a visit. You can take long walks and enjoy the magnificent nature the areas has to offer. These are some interesting tips to make your stay with us unforgettable one. You can access some of the most beautiful blue flag beaches in 5' - 10' distance from our guesthouse. It is recommended you hire a car. Pets are not permitted and smoking is only allowed outdoors.

What makes this property unique

Our guesthouse is a bioclimatic building and except the central heating there is also a wood stove for winter.In our area winter is mild with temperatures around 12 - 15 d.C. During September and Oktober you can still swim, im November you can experience how the local people make the raki - our traditional Cretan drink - and in December there is a Christmas bazaar and a lot of Christmas events for all ages. In January and February you can enjoy the mild and fragrant winter, in April and May the arrival of spring and the Greek Orthodox Easter. And of course in June, July and August you can experience the unique Greek summer.
Public buses provide connection from Ferma to other destinations and back. There are also public buses to Ierapetra from both airports of Heraklion and Sitia. You can also visit our two nearby islands, "Chrissi Island" and "Koufonisi" with daily ferries from Ierapetra and Makris Gialos.
