Modern architecture in an olive grove: The Boomerang House is a B&B with only two guest suites, situated in a secluded olive grove near the village of Sivas in southern Crete. The house has been built to blend in with its surroundings in the best possible way. The boomerang-like shape and the materials concrete, glass and wood characterise the building, which almost disappears into the hillside. The bright red railing in the pool area adds a colourful highlight. The house consists of two parts: one wing accommodates the guest rooms, the other one the kitchen and the flat of the operators. The pergola, under which breakfast is served in the morning, is located between the buildings connected by a concrete roof.
The two guest suites, each 35 square metres in size, open up towards the valley with floor-to-ceiling glazing and afford views of the surrounding mountains and the sea. Two private terraces, which can be closed off with louvre doors, are situated in front of the rooms and thus extend the living space of the guest rooms. Concrete and glass lend the rooms a cool ambience, jungle motifs and boho-style furniture, lamps and accessories add a casual touch. The bathrooms are designed so that guests can have a shower with a view of the sea: The glazing reaching down to the floor forms the back wall of the shower. When swimming in the stylish pool or sitting on the sundeck, guests can also enjoy beautiful views of the surroundings.

Nachdem wir das Boomerang House auf dieser Seite gefunden und anschliessend gebucht haben, sind wir mit unserer 5-köpfigen Familie voller Vorfreude in den Herbstferien 2022 für 7 Tage dorthin gereist. Und was soll ich sagen, wir wurden nicht enttäuscht – im Gegenteil! Caroline und Eddy sind wirklich sehr sympathische Hosts und Ihr Boomerang House ist einfach ein toller, architektionisch sehr ansprechender Ort zur Entspannung mit einem atemberaubenden Blick über die Landschaft Kretas aufs Meer. Jeden Morgen gab es ein liebevolles Frühstück (an jedem Morgen immer eine andere lokale Kleinigkeit) und ansonsten treten die Hosts sehr diskret auf, so dass wir als Familie das Gefühl hatten, ganz alleine an diesem besonderen Ort zu sein. Kleiner Tipp: Unbedingt einen Geländewagen als Leihwagen mieten, denn zum einen ist der kleine Weg zum Boomerang House schon eine Herausforderung für einen Kleinwagen, zum anderen bietet er die Möglichkeit, menschenleere Strände zu erreichen. We will be back!

Herrlich gelegen auf der Spitze eines Hügels mit fantastischer Aussicht bis auf das Meer. Das Haus, die Zimmer, der Pool sehen genau so aus wie auf den Bildern.
Nach einer kurzen, aber abenteuerlichen Auffahrt erreicht man das Boomerang House. Moderne Architektur verschmilzt dort mit der typischen Landschaft Kretas. Caroline und Eddy sind die perfekten, freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Hosts.
