We're a couple of an architect and an interior designer in our late 40's. We love Crete especially its less known southern side where all kind of magic, unexpected things can happen. We do not consider hosting as a new job. Additional income is welcome but not important enough as a sole reason to share our home with people we do not know. We thought it might be a good idea to let more people discover the unique experience of the place, especially since our schedule doesn't allow us to live there as much as we would like. We would like to have guests (with the original meaning of the term), not clients. We're not fond of being too extrovert with guests. We will be gladly available to help and inform but we cannot be concierges. We consider hosting as giving our home to a couple of considerate close friends to spent some days over and relax. We would really like hosting to be a pleasant experience for us so we can keep on with the same eager as we started!

This small complex is located in the narrow alleys of the old part of Pirgos village. Neighboring buildings are typical village residences and some of them are not inhabited presenting the real, unmasked reality of Cretan countryside that has not been affected by tourism. Some streets are steep making it difficult for people with kinetic challenges to move easily around the neighborhood. Main street with cafes, taverns and convenience stores are just 1-2 minutes on foot away
