We had an incredible week long stay at the Blue Daisy house. The home is beautifully restored - you feel you’re in a bygone era but with modern comforts. We loved being out in the countryside and exploring the villages and sites nearby. Archaeological sites, museums, quaint villages, hiking, beaches and amazing food. Truly a unique experience we highly recommend.

Uri and Aliza's home is breathtakingly beautiful. They did a great job renovating a 200+ year stone house, keeping the character of the home while updating it to have modern amenities. It is about one hour from Heraklion, the largest city in Crete, so we rented a car for a week. One of the highlights of our visit was to swim with the fishes in the warm, refreshingly clear water. Thank you for letting us staying at your house

Wow - what can we say! We had the most amazing week at Uri and Aliza's unique place in rural Crete. We enjoyed avoiding the tourists and experiencing their restored 200 year old house - their outdoor traditional pizza oven is class! Their home is perfectly located to explore the culture and traditions of the island, with a rental car we made it from Chania in the east to Spinalonga (of 'The Island' fame) in the West... and everywhere in between. We visited historical monasteries, learned about bees and honey making, visited olive groves, did some gorge walking, saw amazing potters at work in a local village and of course visited local restaurants and beaches. Truly an amazing experience. Anna, their house keeper, was always on hand for tips too. We would highly recommend an exchange with Uri and Aliza - five stars from us!

Uri and Aliza gave us the chance to spend a week in their beautiful Blue Daisy House. It is a magical place, perfect for recharging your batteries, taking your time and admiring the landscape. The renovation of the house is remarkable, it's simple, without superfluities, but everything is there, nothing is missing. We were able to discover the wonders of Crete, from north to south. Thank you again Uri and Aliza, we look forward to welcoming you to Nantes! Eve, Cyril and Aglaé

We enjoyed a magical week in Uri's lovingly restored home in the countryside of Crete. The house itself was a true piece of art--the perfect mix of creative, historic, and homey. We loved the opportunity to stay in a less-touristy area of the island and had a great time exploring the surrounding towns while being an easy drive from major sites. We found the space to be perfect for our family of five--big enough to cook meals and play games on the porch. Uri was a lovely exchange partner--very organized and communicative. We also had a great experience with Anna, the house manager who is local to the island and a fantastic resource during the swap. We're grateful to them both for providing a wonderful stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to spend time on Crete!

Uri's and Aliza's place is magical - in the mountains of beautiful Crete, a rellay old house "rebuilt" with the utmost care and passion. We had a great time there, the house satisfied all our needs, it was quiet, peaceful, practical and comforted our family of little kids very well. Ideal for tours by car, we visited many amazing places in Crete (from Elafonisi to Agois Nikolaos). We would be happy to return whenever we can:)

A very special old stone house in a small village in Crete! Made into what it is today, or already is, with an incredible amount of love and skill. Georg and I were at the Blue Daisy at the beginning of May. Spring in Crete with the intoxicating scent of the wild herbs that grow nearby. Communication with Uri was a pleasure from the start. Before, during and after our stay. The “support” on site was also really great! After a long winter in Austria and a lot of work in the spring, we were really looking forward to Crete, the sun, light and the sea. Well......... The weather was really bad. Surprise! Wind, storm, cold and rain! Fun stop!!! Well, we made the best of it. What to do?!? Luckily, there is tons to do, discover, love in Crete! It's just a shame that we weren't able to enjoy the outside areas of the house too often due to the weather. The house is something very special. Unique! Definitely not ideal for everyone. A great experience for us!! I can highly recommend Blue Daisy and the hosts, Uri and Aliza!! Apparently the sun mostly shines on Crete! ;-)!

We really enjoyed our exchange at Uri & Aliza‘s house , in a very small village, Where they have created a peaceful retreat to the hustle & bustle of the Island.. Although its just 30 mins away from the beach & city. We loved the creative use of re-using materials that have had a previous life, along with the art work that is throughout the House.. We did some hiking in the area, exploring some of the ancient History, and local villages. Explored different beaches and The Local food. But, we also spent a lot of time just relaxing in the Garden. Listening to the sound of almost silence, We would definitely recommend staying here. If you want to enjoy a peaceful rural setting, but with the sound & energy of the city , very reachable. We would definitely look forward to repeating an exchange.
