This was supposed to be a quiet evening transiting from the airport to west Crete. But the hosts Gabriella & Claudio gave us a wonderful Cretan welcome. We had a great evening. Great food, great conversation. Thank you.

With the heatwave, the lack of airconditioning or fans was problematic. And sleeping with windows open was too loud (highway) and let all the mosquitos in ...

Easy to reach from Heraklion Airport

Somewhat in need of repairs.

Lovely people and nice location. They also provided breakfast and dinner on request.

Cleaning might be a bit better. Room was very dusty. All tables in the garden too dirty to look at. A very messy shared kitchen outside, which I could not use because it was too dirty. A bit too expensive for what you get to be honest.

Perfect location. Close to the city and in the village (few steps away) a lovely beach with some tavernas. Nice village. Funny place, looks like an abandoned place. Feels comfortable and relaxed. A bit hippie-like place.

We arrived to the extreme heat wave the room had no AC. It was unbearable.

Gabriella and her husband are so nice and easy to talk to. We only stayed one night before heading to the west side so we needed a place near the airport. The vibe was so relaxed you can meet some cool people and have some nice chat with them.

No air conditioning so really hot

Characteristic

Have in mind that the place is very close to the main road and you can hear it all the time. It has no air conditioning. The house kept somehow cooler during the day, but it had the same temperature during the night. We hardly managed to sleep. If you decide to have coffee in the morning, have in mind that it is French press and ask for prices in advance to avoid surprises. We stayed for one night as we needed a place for the night outside Herakleion and it suited us perfectly, but I wouldn't recommend it for long visit (although the rest of the rooms were taken by long staying visitors).

The property is in a unique old fashioned house. The room kept the original atmosphere and had good anti mosquito facility. The place has a little bit of artistic and hipster atmosphere, which I believe is the main asset. Gabriela is very friendly and relaxed. Nearby you can find good places to eat.

Gabriella made us feel very much at home in her lovely garden room. Although the accommodation was basic, it was comfortable and good value for money. The breakfast was excellent.

The toilet and the bathroom are in the same room in a very small space withot any separation. Uncoated concrete on the floor is not hygienic.A cutting board and a serious knife were missing from the kitchen's basic equipment.

The location close to the beach with good atmoshere.Gabriella is very kindly.The review from the garden is wonderfull sorund to the hills.The bed in the room was very comfortable.

If you love nature, sea and mountains, good cuisine and pleasant company, then this is your place. The facilities are not top-class, but there is a lot of space, near the sea, bars and shops. Be sure to order dinner from the owners - it is very tasty. I recommend this place.

I wish I could stay longer and have a nice chat to the owners. Nothing bad about the place. It felt authentic and great real Cretan experience.

Gabriella and her dad have beautiful property! The Garden is well maintained and has a nice energy about it. They also serve traditional food and it was very delicious. It was conveniently located 2 min walk from small local beach which was lovely and quiet for a swim and relaxing.

Gabriella and Claudio are the best people in the planet.

The place is ancient and in dire need of renovations. There was little in the way of comfort or apparent cleanliness. No toiletries, no water, no functional screens to keep mosquitos away. The room we received was NOTHING like the photographs… I would NOT recommend this establishment.

Gabriella was nice.

The Gabriellas Garden is exceptional place. It is beautiful garden with small rooms situated around the garden. The owners are very friendly and informal - it is perfect for people who seek for authentic traveling, seeing the places where also local people live. Beach is very close to the accommodation and they provide very delicious homemade food. I met with beautiful people and enjoyed amazing stay.

Bus connections are a bit tricky, as there is only a bus stop going towards Chania.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, who make you feel very welcome. A very nice beach is literally just down the road.

We had to leave after being there for 30min. We were stung by mosquitoes more times than i could count, it's hardly accessible by public transport. There's a bus that passes there from Heraklion but no bus to take you back to the city. There were no real windows, merely a net. The light in the bathroom didn't work and there was no AC, only a fan that barely held together. The host wasn't very forthcoming when we complained

It was cheap. Close to a beach
