Pros:

Dass die Besitzer über Jahrzehnte die alten Häuser dreimal wiederaufgebaut haben, bis sie im jetzigen schönen Zustand erscheinen, hat uns beeindruckt. Die Häuschen sind individuell verschieden und doch als ehemalige Siedlung erkennbar und verbunden.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
Pros:

The location is fantastic. The cottages are very stylish and beautifully furnished. The setting is peaceful in the mountains, yet you can still walk to the sea and restaurants in 15 minutes.

Cons:

The Setting and the beautiful Facility very tranquil in the Mountains.

happy heartfelt appreciation for my wonderful fortnight!
Pros:

a perfect spring retreat location - quiet, cosy and comfortable - my host, george was so friendly and caring - and mr hercules, the taxi driver, commented at the end of my stay that he could not believe i was the same person! from stress to smiles, from crabby to calm - thank you everybody at natura for making my stay so marvelous - cheers, jasmine

Cons:

i stayed in potomas and it was difficult for the first few days to get the place fully warm in the evenings due to the a/c heater being in the bedroom and warm air not being able to circulate round to the living area - perhaps installing another a/c in the living room or a wood burner? - george provided me with a nice throw to wraparound which helped somewhat

Wonderful place to chill and enjoy Crete to it’s fullest. Siga siga all the way!
Pros:

Wonderful place. Very comfortable and clean. A lot of thoughtful and useful equipment available. Washing machine, beach umbrellas and mats, kitchen utensils, a fireplace, duvet for colder nights, a tray. Great chill vibe, hospitable and communicative hosts, well written directions, great locatiob for hikes and shops while still remaining peaceful and quiet. Very clean and comfortable little bathroom, absolutely lovely terrace filled with jasmin scent. Definetely a place to return to.

Cons:

Nothing was wrong. Wish I could stay longer. If anything to suggest maybe adjusting the water sprinklers slightly as the laundry rack can get a bit wet overnight :) nothing serious though!

Pros:

Sehr gemütliches Cottage in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Das Skino Cottage hat alles was man braucht, mit einem schönen Gartensitzplatz. Wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt, super gut geschlafen und das nicht wegen den guten Raki.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts, was zu bemängeln ist.

Pros:

Wir waren im Bungalow mit Gartenblick unter gebracht. Es war so wie auf den Bildern und auch wie gehofft. Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Gartenterasse ein Träumchen und die Ruhe dort unbezahlbar. Abend gab es auch noch tausend Lichter überall. Von den Hängematten hat mein Mann gleich eine in Beschlag genommen. Kurz und bündig...wir waren super glücklich auch wegen der romantischen Atmosphäre.
Einkaufsmöglichkeiten zum füllen des Kühlschranks waren auch gegeben(ca. 1km entfernt)

Cons:

Einziges Mango, die Zufahrt. Okay naturbelassen im warsten Sinne aber 2/3Stellen müßten in der Tat ausgebessert werden. Unser kleiner UP hat uns da manchmal leid getan. Auch die Strecke am Bachbett entlang fanden wir abenteuerlich, obwohl wir sowas schon kennen. Aber sicherheitstechnisch würde diese Zufahrt wirklich mal ein Update gebrauchen. Nun gut, wir haben es überlebt ;))

Pros:

What a marvelous place! I am lacking words to describe the beauty, magic and silence of this place. Fantastic sandy beach in 15 min walking distance with crystal clear water.

Apprezzato tantissimo lo spazio esterno alla casa che abbiamo sfruttato molto nelle giornate ventose
Pros:

Non era prevista la colazione

Cons:

Mi ha fatto un po’ strano che le relazioni sono state esclusivamente virtuali! Molto presente e disponibile per messaggi Whatsapp la referente ma non ho avuto modo di comunicare di persona con nessuno! Il materasso in cocco era comodo ma dopo alcuni giorni abbiamo capito che dormivamo male ed avevamo sempre le lenzuola bagnate perché c’era un copri materasso con sotto la plastica! Rimosso il nostro sonno e’ migliorato!
