A.M.A: 65968
Registry No for Short-Term Residential Rental: 1325609
The residence is a traditional 2 floor house stone-build at 1870's at the center of village Pompia, though in a way that full privacy is kept. The house was refurbished at 1990's and was used by the ex-fire captain of Cretan island until recently. The old style of the residence has been preserved with the wooden doors and windows, the stoned frameworks and the wall build-in bird nests. The traditional grape-press has been turned into a WC and all walls are decorated with all the old equipment used in everyday life of early last century. 6 people can be hosted, 4 on the upper floor in a double bed and two singles, all together at the same spacey room. Consider that the steeply wooden ladder leading to the upper floor, is not suitable for young children. 2 more people can be hosted at a double bed placed in the spacey kitchen of the house. At the ground floor there is the kitchen, the WC and a large living room with a fire-place. The house is fully equipped, but not luxury! Air condition in every room is included. A big yard on the ground floor and a terrace on the upper floor with a view to Psiloritis mountain, is suitable for relaxed summer moments and cool nights. The village of Pompia is central-placed in an area where Faistos ancient ruins, Matala beach, Komos beach, Kalamaki beach, Kokkinos Pyrgos beach and Kaloi-Limenes beach are accessible within a distance of 15km. For the more adventurous guests, Martsalo, Vathi and Agiofarrago beach is an excellent choice of getting in touch with the natural wild beauty of southern Crete.

la maison de style traditionnel
Bien que la maison soit de style traditionnel, qui pourrait avec des réparations sommaires être très coquette. Le lit double est dans la cuisine et il y a un poêle à bois qui ne fonctionne pas et prend de la place et pas nettoyé. La chambre de l’étage est un dortoir à plusieurs. Pas de place pour ranger ses vêtements. Toutes les armoires sont remplies des vêtements et linge de l’ancien propriétaire. En hiver, il,fait froid et humide. Le système de chauffage n’est pas adapté. Le réseau électrique n’est pas sécurisant. Il y a des câbles et rallonges partout., l’état de propreté des armoires basses de la cuisine n’est pas au top. Les plaques de cuisson sont rouillées et endommagées. La douche est salle, sous le flacon de savon il y avait de la terre et des feuilles . Expérience très décevante, dommage
