When looking for a place to stay in a big, super busy, and quite chaotic city such as Heraklion, especially in summer, you will certainly look for a relaxing space that’s close to the center of town, enough to walk there but without being surrounded by noise at all hours.
Especially if you’re staying in town for more than a couple of nights and you’re interested in taking long day trips around the region, always coming back to base, and base being cozy, comfy, and welcoming…
Well, there’s such a place: this fantastic vacation apartment.
The Blossom-Premium Living Residence in Heraklion
The experience
This amazing apartment has been completely renewed a very short time ago. Honestly, it’s so impeccable that we felt we were the first guests to set foot in the residence (which is not like that because they’ve already collected top reviews!).
All the spaces are very well thought out and very comfortable. The kid’s room, for instance, would look small at first sight, but it has all the right corners for kids to enjoy their stay, including a small book collection and kid-sized bathrobes. The mattresses are extra comfortable too, while the wardrobes are very spacious.
Our en-suite room was dreamy, not just because it was equipped with a convenient, well-lit, and ready-to-use workstation, with an ample desk and a printer, but also because the bed was simply heaven!
There are two big and very modern bathrooms with walk-in showers. Besides, all spaces have air conditioning and heating (we visited on an odd snowy day in winter and did not feel cold any time).
The seating room features a big smart TV with Netflix, perfect for our snowy stay. Table games entertain you, and there is also a terrific balcony with a wooden deck, three different seating areas, and a small but fragrant herbs garden—ideal for those who’re into cooking!
If you like cooking, you will fall in love with the gorgeous kitchen, which has top-quality utensils, a microwave, and a Nespresso machine.
During our stay, we always ate at the apartment (it was really cold!), I admit that we ordered one evening because we were tired, but cooked too, and that kitchen is perfect!
The property is managed by the owners, Dimitris and Katerina, who know how to provide unparalleled hospitality (and who kindly shipped to Chania my cosmetics bag and medicines that I forgot at the apartment, thank you!)
