The old winemaker's house

Old Winery House, is exactly what is described on its' name. It is the house in the Old Winery yard. Integrated into the typical cretan landscape, surraounded by a sea of olive trees and vineyards, offers the visitor the chance to relax and feel like a local. You can visit the olive trees and the vineyards, you can taste the scents and flavours of the Cretan land as well as our biological wine, made from the local variety of "Vidiano". Next to the Old Winery, at the entrance of the country house, there is a vegetable garden, so you can taste season vegetables.

Lovely peaceful farmhouse stay

From the moment our host greeted us we felt welcome and at home. The house felt like my grandmother had just walked to the market, leaving a bottle of wine, some garden veggies and a note saying make yourself at home. The only sounds we heard were the chickens and roosters and crickets. We highly recommend this for folks like informal rural living.

Séjour parfait en famille

Un endroit très agréable pour être au calme. Un accueil plus que chaleureux, des attentions à notre égard, des conseils bien appréciés de visites et restaurants. Un gran merci Dimos !!! We spent a quiet week. A very warm welcome, gifts for our needs, good advice for visits or restaurants, vegetables at will: the children were happy to pick them ! A place full of charm and tranquillity that we really appreciated! Thank you again!

Kleines Ferienhaus in ruhiger Umgebung

Der Vermieter hat uns sehr freundlich mit Wein, Olivenöl und Raki in Empfang genommen. Wir konnten Gemüse aus dem Garten ernten. Das alte Winzerhaus liegt am Dorfrand. Von den Nachbarn haben wir nichts gehört. Von Astrikas aus haben wir viele Ausflüge in alle Richtungen unternommen.
