The villa had amazing views and was in a great location, close to all amenities, shops, restaurants and beaches. The villa is very spacious and had everything we needed for a large family group of 8. The children loved the pool and there was plenty of outside space and seating. Very good communication with the host, who supported in arranging our airport transfers and was always available to answer any questions with a quick response. We would stay here again.
Villa with an amazing location and looks exactly as shown. Perfect for a group of 10. Hosts were really friendly and checked in on us via messages and gave us suggestions when we asked them. 5/5
We received a quick response to all our requests, the villa was exactly as in the pictures. The pool was large and fun and the location facing the sea allowed for complete relaxation and disconnection. The kitchen was fully equipped and very clean and the location of the villa allows for short trips to other areas of Crete. Highly recommend...
The home is large and was very clean. The pool is split by a fence with the house next door but was great as this side goes from about 3 feet deep to a small area toward the fence of 4 1/2 feet. There are 2 main beaches within a short walk from the house that offer areas with no rocks so swim. There is also a great bakery a 5 minutes away by car. The host were fantastic. They walked us through the house on first day and helped schedule a taxi to the airport on checkout. Overall great experience!
