Villa Amvrosia Nr Kalives Crete

We loved this property. The pool was spectacular. So many villas take the pool pictures at a very careful angle, totally not necessary here. There were chairs all around so you could follow or hide from the sun. The kitchen was well equipped, a decent knife and frying pan included. The layout worked well with 2 bedrooms up and a single on the lowest level. It was nice to have a bathroom for everyone. The furniture was comfortable, the beds were great. We didn’t use the outdoor kitchen, it seemed like too much work. The overall location was a little remote. We did not consider it walkable to town, but then found it was actually nice to be quiet and a little removed. The property itself felt very secure. You do need a car here. There are a couple great Tavernas in Armenoi. The management company (Freelance Villas) was very responsive and the guidelines for everything were very clear. If you do stay here, the front door locks behind you. Mind your key.

Not as walkable to town as we expected, but only a 3 minute drive.

The villa is in a beautiful location with views offer the hills and of the mountains. The pool area outside is great and the villa is modern and comfortable with everything you need. The attention to details were great and it was nice to have all the basics including a welcome basket of fruits and drinks. The village is very nice with good restaurants and cafes a short walk down the hill.

It was a shame the inside jacuzzi wasn’t heated but nothing major! Outside areas quite difficult if you have very young children.
