Cannot say enough about Jodi’s commitments to her guests. Her attention to details re: any Qs her guests have, her suggestions re local areas, her wonderful personality, all made our first visit to Crete outstanding. . We selected Jodi’s pension based on others reviews, but only after staying here would we have changed our Crete travel plans and stayed exclusively at Jodi’s pension for our total southern Crete stay. Room was exceptionally clean, access to the breakfast room was a plus, and kudos to her fellow pensioners, many whom have been repeats for years. Staying with Jodi makes it very easy to understand why she has so many repeat clients. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to return to Crete. If so blessed, it will be at Jodi’s in Pitsidia.

My property offers 4 large rooms for my guests comfort and ensures peaceful tranquility, home away from home coziness and total relaxation.Two rooms have views of Psiloritis mountains and my garden with a large balcony and two rooms have views of the old Pitsidia village and my garden and a large terrace. There is a complete communal kitchen with a small library and a large terrace for dining or relaxing . All four rooms have advanced free wifi, A/C, refrigerator, linens and towels. As a guest your comfort always come first!
I'm originally from America and moved to Greece with my Greek native -born husband in 1986. We have 4 girls; one married with 3 children, another married with 4 children and two unmarried ( twins ). I enjoy playing in my garden and reading books. My favorite authors are Danielle Steel and Nora Roberts and Jojo Moyes ! I love cooking for my family and they enjoy it also. I also have a fetish for shoes ! I am friendly and helpful and considerate to others.
My neighborhood is located at the edge of village. It is very quiet and peaceful. Within 5 minutes, you be can at the hub center of the village. There is surrounding nature from the open fields with their wildflowers to the snow capped mountains. The best of all is the quietness and feeling your inner thoughts that can get lost from city life.
