Lootraki Guesthouse - Cycladic bedroom

"Lootraki" is located at the heart of a traditional Cretan village, slightly remote from the sea and wonderful beaches (20 minutes walking, 5 minutes by car) and at the doorstep of amazing mountain footpaths. No big hotels here, just the quiet and charming typical Cretan life. The area is full of wonders : antic sites, monasteries, lively harbours, mountain taverns with the healthy and tasty Cretan diet served in your plate, gorges & canyons, and of course, wonderful beaches and secret creeks. The bedrooms are beside each other and located on the second floor , with a joined private balcony, table and chairs. Inside bedroom #1: double bed, private bathroom, wardrobe and drawer, a little fridge and everything to prepare a breakfast (kettle, coffee pot, cutlery and cups/glasses). Inside bedroom #2: two single beds, a baby travel cot, a small wardrobe and table. The house is simple, well ventilated in the summer, and designed so that all the occupants can find their intimacy easily. The outside spaces are multiple : private balcony, little courtyard, roof terraces. A library is provided to the guests with loads of documentation on the area. And it will be my pleasure to give you the best tips to discover the region. You can access the living-room and the kitchen at any time. You'll find a free place in the fridge to stock your shopping if you wish to cook some meals at home (although we highly recommend you to try the local taverns, cheap and delicious...). You can enjoy as well the view or simply take your breakfast or a drink on your private balcony. I am here to welcome you, answer all your questions as I live my self in the house, on the ground floor, I am available anytime of the day to guide you through your discovery of the region. However, if you wish not to interact with me once settled, I'll be your most discreet host and respect your privacy. The neighbourhood is mainly composed of Cretan Yaya's (grannys) and Papou's (Grandpas), all very friendly and welcoming. You can walk to each one of the three beaches down the village in between 20 to 45 minutes, through the orchard plain. On the main road on the top of these three beaches (village of Istro), you'll find grocers, bank machine, and fuel station for primary needs. Agios Nikolaos, a lively market town where you can find all services is about 10 minutes away by car. There are bus services to get to all the main villages and towns around the house. However, it is highly recommended to rent a car to be able to discover the authentic Cretan villages, in the back country.
