Gardenia Garden House was easy to find, and we had several advance communications with the cordial owner, who met us at the gate of the property, which contained several buildings.
The owner gave us a tour of the property and also pointed out that the vegetable garden and all the herbs were available for guests. This was definitely one of the most welcome amenities.
The location, grounds, villa interior all far exceeded our expectations, and we were completely delighted with everything. Frankly, it was only after two or three days that we even noticed there was no TV.
The entire villa was spotless and well equipped, even had a washer (we did not use), drying rack, beach lounges, even beach towels. We particularly loved all the varieties of lavender, rosemary, purslane plus the grape and other tomatoes which were plentiful, eggplants and a seemingly endless variety of edibles.
Inside, the bed was quite comfortable, there was a huge amount of storage space for suitcases and clothing, shoes, etc. Bathroom was large and bright and spotless. The kitchen wonderfully equipped, although we never cooked there, for making Greek salads from local green grocer's produce supplemented by the wonderful garden's many offerings, we ate well and at home some nights with luscious salads.
We had an ideal work location with an amazing view of the Bay of Souda. We were able to watch the moon come up every night both from inside the villa and the gorgeous patio, replete with glider, sofa, table and pillows.
I cannot imagine anything more that could have further enhanced our stay and would very highly recommend Gardenia Harden House as a high value and strategically located property offering everything guests could possibly require.
