The villa’s position was perfect, slightly secluded but easily accessible from Chania and not far from Rethymno, both beautiful towns. The most fantastic thing was the view up to the mountains, which were snow covered when we were there (late April), but the weather was still fantastic … great for both sunbathing (by the pool), walking the gorges and mountains (covered with wild flowers) and visiting the towns. Although 1 hour and three quarters from Knossos that was very doable, combined with a trip to the wonderful archaeological museum in Irakleon.
Alexandros was a wonderful host, bringing us anything we needed and available at all times, a lovely man and very helpful. When we locked ourselves out of the villa on the first night 🙄 he was there very quickly to let us in.
A spectacular position, particularly if you appreciate seclusion, privacy and country living, if you want city life this is not the place for you.
Wish we were staying longer
