Villa Askyfou sits on the top of a hill overlooking the rural town of Askyfou. It’s about an hours drive from Chania and 30 min to beautiful beaches in the South and the port town of Sfakia. Ioannis and Maria take great pride in the history of the villa and want their guests to have the best experience possible. Their guide book has just about everything you’d need to have the best week in Crete, but Ioannis will go out of his way to make sue you’re enjoying your stay and seeing the locals version of Crete.
The indoor layout of the villa is not like a typical home. There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms off the downstairs living room that are truly private. The rest of the 4 bedrooms are railroad style; you have to pass through 1 bedroom to get to the next 3 (1 of which has its own door). There are semi private full bathrooms off each bedroom area, but it was never a problem for us. We slept 6 people comfortably in our own rooms for 8 days. There are a few outdoor seating areas that are perfect for larger parties. Parking is limited at the villa so would recommend having no more than 2 cars.
We loved our stay here, couldn't recommend it enough!
