Summary: This old family house has been lovingly restored by the owner himself, working over 5 summers to re-create the beauty of historic old style craftmanship, and then furnished with a museum's worth of antique tools, photographs, fabrics and furniture. The outdoor spaces look out onto the mountains in this private world about 20 minutes from Chania. Andreas is an awesome host. It feels more like a privilege than anything else to stay at Bendeni Cottage.
