This is a beautiful, quiet place where you can enjoy natural surroundings, the sound of sheep bells and birdsong, and stunning views of Lefka Ori mountains. We have lots of outside space, (sunny, shady,) ....we bake our own organic bread and provide organic food where possible. We'll be growing organic fruit and veg here.... 16 olive trees yield our own olive oil so far! Ici on respire! Bel endroit en pleine nature...venez trouver le calme, le repos et l'inspiration!
I love hosting and meeting people from all over the world. My aim is to make your stay here completely comfortable and very enjoyable. My interests are hospitality, music, gardening, walking and languages.
It feels remote here, but the beach is only a few minutes away by car, or 35 minutes on foot. Beautiful Chania is about 30 minutes away by car -we can advise on the best route and free parking there. The bus takes 45 minutes. There are excellent restaurants locally - greek, thai, italian.....or english if you prefer! Please be sure to contact me by phone or email for detailed directions to Alpha House: we are a few minutes drive from Plaka.
