Reviews
another world! this year I wanted to avoid the classic holiday in a tourist and commercial Greece... I was looking for something more traditional, a place where in addition to beaches and landscapes I could breathe the real Crete... and here is my place in the world!
Far from the tourist chaos but surrounded by greenery...it almost feels like being in Tuscany!
The apartment is simple but welcoming and well finished, you can immediately see that Tosia puts love and passion into it... and this makes the difference, you can breathe as soon as you open the door!
super helpful and ready to recommend the best itineraries to immerse yourself in the local culture without giving up relaxation and fun.
super recommended!

Really a wonderful house, in a beautiful village, with hospitable people and a wonderful landlady. I will never forget the vibes and positive aura I felt when I opened the door, the sense of calm I felt while I was there and the beautiful images I received. Thank you Tonia, everything was wonderful!!!
Tonia's cottage accommodation is the best choice... The owner Tonia has high demands on the quality and her choices... Well done to her because she has succeeded...
I think you should pay a visit and enjoy it to the fullest...

I highly recommend staying at Tonia's Cottage. An incredibly charming place 😍 where you can relax! At the same time, it is also an excellent base for exploring the near and far corners of Crete. I especially recommend the beautiful Cretan beaches! Easy access from the airport. Alagni Village is also a great place to feel the real atmosphere of island life! A huge plus is the very nice, smiling hosts! We will definitely come back.

Ήταν όλα υπέροχα το σπίτι πλήρως εξοπλισμένο. Ότι πρέπει για να ηρεμήσει κάποιος.
Our stay at Tonia's Cottage was amazing! Drinking fresh spring water near the cottage felt like a genuine experience. Visiting Myrtia village to explore the Kazantzakis Museum was a gem; seeing the village paintings and noticing the street names named after the author’s literary characters and inspirations was fascinating. Bird watching and hiking were highlights of our trip! Tonia's hospitality made it all even better. Can't wait to return!
Wow, the location is great—just what we were looking for. We booked through Tonia’s website, and from the beginning until our last day, she was so kind and welcoming. We felt just like at home. The house is the perfect size, and we loved the bedroom with a view of the Dikti mountains and the old church. We will definitely be back.
