The View from the Horizon Iraklio, Crete

Property Description

With one of the best locations in Herakleion, this home overlooks the shimmering Cretan Sea. It happens to also be wedged between the Historical Museum and The Natural History Museum, ideal for families looking for a cultural injection. The soft sand of Ammoudara Beach is a short drive away, but you'll find shops by walking for only a few minutes. The home is bright and boasts a small outdoor area with a barbecue and seating. Though bathrooms are a little dated, they're well-kept. And besides, we think sunset drinks on the small balcony more than make up for it.

Home truths:
*There is free on-street parking here.
*It's possible you may hear some noise from neighbours during your stay, as well as noise from the street – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs
*The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Well-behaved dogs are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
*You'll find a desk here for when you need to catch up on work.
*As with most homes in Greece, toilet paper can't be flushed. Please use the sanitary bin provided.
