This is a family run business and has been built by the owners using local materials and contractors. The furniture has been made in Crete by local craftsmen using traditional techniques. The owners promote local culture and often cook an example of a Greek speciality for the guests, made with products from their garden or local fresh products.
We promote the small tavernas in conjunction with the owners as well as places of interest and businesses in the surrounding rural areas to ensure that local people receive maximum economic benefit. We manage the recycling of glass and paper by collecting it from the villas to be recycled at a central location. The villas have solar heated hot water with a backup system.
As a company we aim to encourage local economic growth and to work in harmony with local communities and to respect their culture, traditions and environments. All of our owners (bar one) and suppliers used are local.
We prefer to employ the services of independent local business as suppliers in each of their destinations. We work with local car hire firms for all our car rentals, boat hire firms for boat rental and we utilize the services of local village shops and mini markets to compile our welcome hampers.
We also encourage our guests to use the services of local restaurants and shops, archeological sites/excursions - always booking through locals rather than large multi national companies. In addition to this we encourage our guests to visit local attractions and beaches within the area they are staying, as opposed to suggesting they go further afield.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
