Just had a week in this villa with my wife. We were the first guests to stay in it so that was a lovely surprise and meant everything was spanking new!
Michalis and Leonidis were wonderful hosts who were really helpful when I got a little lost finding the place on the first day. They took time to show us everything and explained all we needed to know. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great and they advised us of that, but had someone out he next day to resolve the issue.
They also messaged us with lots of really useful places such as markets for shopping and places to eat, drink locally. Also places to go see in the area.
The villa was beautiful, inside and out. There is simply no negative at all to write about. It’s very spacious, really well laid out and is equipped with everything you could need.
We were also given a lovely welcome pack of a mountain of fresh fruit and a bottle of local wine, which was a lovely welcome.
We only had a week but it was magnificent and we have already looked to see dates for returning.
We will definitely come back to this villa, and to the area which so lovely. Very genuinely Cretan experience and can’t speak highly enough of this place.
We are not inexperienced travellers and always book villas for every holiday, so the review isn’t based on lack of experience. We have lifelike dozens of villas to compare this to and it’s one of our favourites at this point.
