Villa With Private Pool And Stunning Sea Views

We had 10 days in this villa in October. Mark kindly allowed us an early check in as the villa was empty the night before our arrival. Instructions were given for how to drive to the villa, but I would request GPS co-ordinates as I don't think we would have easily found the property without that (the road signs that were used as indicators appear to have changed and the right hand turn required is obscured by trees growing near the roadside). From an Australian perspective, the bed in the master bedroom is not a Queen but a very small Double. The mattress in that room is soft and lumpy and not particularly comfortable. The furniture in the living areas is comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for self catering. The listing needs to be updated as the tavernas mentioned as being within walking distance have both closed, so there is now nowhere to eat out within walking distance. Also, there is now a requirement to pay a Climate Crisis Resilience Tax of 15 Euros per night when staying at the villa. As it was autumn when we were there we didn't use the pool at all, although it looked inviting. Lastly, beware of the cotton mats on the floor of every room - we found them to be trip hazards and rolled them up and put them aside for the duration of our stay. Communication with Mark before arrival was quick and easy, however, after we had arrived I got the impression that questions about the property were not appreciated, so I didn't bother him again.

Fantastic property, amazing outside areas even better than they look in the pictures. Wonderful rural area for exploring on a bike or walking. Helpful communication from the owner - would thoroughly recommend the villa.

We've really enjoyed our two weeks at Minoan Villa, which is comfortable & well equipped. We have found the location perfect for discovering & exploring Eastern Crete. We've loved the outdoor facilities & proximity to villages, towns, tavernas,& archaeological sites. This has been the perfect start to our 6 weeks on Crete. Thank you and a special thanks for all the tips & information.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful villa, spectacular view, close to beaches and awesome tavernas. Villa and pool very nice, clean and clearly bigger than expected. We loved our stay! Only improvement would be a less soft mattress in the master bedroom.
