What To Expect
Roll up your sleeves and stir up some memories…
Welcome to the heart of Cretan hospitality, where the garden is bursting with flavor, the kitchen always smells like something delicious, and every dish tells a story. In our family-run haven in beautiful Rethymno, we're inviting you to join us for a hands-on culinary adventure.
Your day begins with a warm welcome (and maybe a few cheeky olives to nibble on). Then it’s off to the garden—our pride and joy—where you’ll harvest seasonal fruits, crisp vegetables, and aromatic herbs straight from the earth. No grocery store in sight, just sunshine and soil!
With your basket full, you'll head into the kitchen, where a local cook will guide you through the creation of classic Cretan dishes. We’ll laugh, we’ll chop, and we might even sneak in a little tsikoudia while the food simmers.
Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down to a long, leisurely lunch enjoying the fruits of your labor with good company and great views.
And when you're done? Kick back by the pool or under the shade of our vineyard. Because, we believe that the best meals end with full hearts, happy bellies, and a little time to simply be.
Come hungry. Leave smiling.
