Dorovinis Country Houses

After the sunny hustle and bustle of Platanias arriving in Anatoli was like dipping in cool water after a hot day. The silence broken only by the sound of swallows and buzzing bees, the vastness of starry sky after the sunset. Smaragda house is like a small gem, beautifully restored, excellently suited for a couple. In the kitchen there's everything you need to cook and the bedroom is cool and quiet. And there's much to see and do in and around Anatoli village, whether you like outdoor activities or cultural and historical sights. We were taken by the warm and welcoming people of the village and of course the heartwarming kindness of Ioanna herself. We will be coming back next October and this time enjoying a longer period of the peace and silence, as well as the mountain paths and the gorges in the vicinity. Can hardly wait!

Polite and helpful owner but, cramped and dusty apartment, some power outlets not well fitted in the wall, many power strips that were easily accessible by kids, worn out shower tap and cord, low lightning in the bathroom, couldn't get the tv to work

Smaragda House is a beautifully renovated Cretan stone house that is wonderfully furnished and decorated. It has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay and was spotless. The view from the rooftop patio is incredible and also a good view from the downstairs patio where we enjoyed our meals. There is a very informative booklet in the house that provides detailed information about nearby beaches, sights to see, restaurants and tavernas. The owner was most helpful in answering our questions about the history of the village. We totally loved our stay and the many places to visit and excellent beaches.
