Beautiful authentic accommodation

The old house is very nicely renovated and decorated. We loved to spend our time there. Everything you need is there. The yard, the real living-room, is quite small, but very agreeable and has a nice atmosphere. Hostess Eleni is absolutely friendly and gave us a lot of advices for our trips and restaurants. In Kavoussi there are not to many tourists, so you feel as living in an authentic Kretian village. We are glad having found this accomodation and region for our holidays. .

Une authentique petite maison au cœur d’un village cretois

Au milieu de ruelles typiques, cette petite maison en pierre est agréable, très bien décorée, la cour qui sépare cuisine et chambre +salle de bain est ombragée, très fleurie et au calme. Quelques tavernes, un petit supermarché sont à proximité. Très pratique pour rejoindre la route vers Agios Nicholaos, Sitia ou Ierapetra.

Een bijzondere plek

Een kleine Kretenzer woning middenin een dorp aan een doodlopend straatje. De sfeer van het authentieke Kreta is daar te vinden. Het huisje is netjes en slaap- en badkamer zijn magnifiek. De keuken is basic. We hebben heerlijk gewandeld in de omgeving en Oost-Kreta verkend. Onze gastvrouw Eleni was zeer gastvrij.

About the host

Hosted by Eleni Kasotaki

Host profile image
I am a structural engineer, working for the municipality of Ierapetra, in charge of environmental projects and civil protection. I am also a mother of two teenagers and I enjoy taking trips and excursions with them, enjoying our district's diverse nature. I also love to travel abroad, read and listen to music.

Why they chose this property

This is my a part of my grandparents home, where I used to spend vacations and weekends during my childhood. It is filled with dear memories of my loved ones and cherished moments of relaxed, simple village life in Kavousi.
I have kept a couple of my ancestors photographs in display in the living room to honor and thank them for passing down this lovely property to me and my family.
It was a life's goal for me to have this home properly restored and renovated and afterwards stylishly furnished and decorated. This demanding process lasted a few years , it was time & money consuming but I enjoyed all of it.
I still love to spend my free time there with family and friends and I would love to be able share my home with people that will enjoy and appreciate it as well.

What makes this property unique

I have used a lot of vintage, heavy furniture, which now restored are given new life and a lot of color, which I think generally represents life in this village.
