    It was our first place to stay on Crete and the view was amazing! Joanna was very kind to let us check-in earlier than it was written. We left our things and went to enjoy the sea. Everything was clean and place was really near the sea, like 5 mins walk. And I think it was a perfect place to live in Bali. Because the nearest beaches were the best for our needs, and it wasn’t so overcrowded like others. p.s. A small life hack for people, who travel by buses. The bus station is a bit far away, but u can have some small ride on the holiday train till the Church. The train stop is next to the bus stop.

    Shower rail and curtain hanging off and really needs a bracket on the wall to hold shower head but maybe a Greek thing and a chair at the dressing table, just little things but fantastic base for holiday, roof terrace be great with seating areas and some beds

    No sign on the building, no address- you walk, you knock every door in the heated afternoon. Hope Joanna will put a great LOGO and shower curtain too))

    The air conditioner broke but Joanna switched our rooms really fast as soon as we told her; so it‘s still a 10/10!

    Joanna was really nice and responds fast. She feels responsible and always watched after our needs. She is a sweetheart! The Apartments are near the beach and in a good condition.

    We had an issue as we had no hot water and the shower was freezing cold ,contacted Joanna and she came straight away to see what the problem was, basically all the hot water had been used by other guests and as we were going out we couldn't wait for the water to heat up so had to have cold showers, this didn't spoil our stay but just shows how amazing the owner was, the next morning everything was fine and we had hot water for a shower, next time we will make sure we shower earlier in the evening and not later ☺️

    Booked this last minute as we were visiting family in Crete and I wanted to go to this resort, we arrived early and our room was ready so Joanna let us have the room, lovely peaceful location with a nice side view of the sea nice apartment

    Beautiful view of the sea from our room. Very close to the beach but we loved just swimming off the rocks every morning down the hill a little. Better than a pool any day. Joanna was very helpful and a great communicator. We loved Bali and will definitely come again. And when we do we will stay at Joanna's.

    I love this place, although it isn’t close to the main cities, it is just like 45 minutes drive from Heraklion, the place is located in a quiet area, shops, restaurants around, and access to 3 beaches near by, Joanna was incredible welcoming and helpful. The studio has a incredible view to the sea, has all basic features you need. I really love it and recommended
