Giorgos’ place is incredible. The space is modern, new, immaculately clean, and perfectly spacious. Brand new appliances and amenities. WiFi is decent. The property is nestled in a vineyard and the view is absolutely breathtaking! We couldn’t get over the sunsets every night...they simply didn’t get old! You can lie in bed, with the doors over the balcony open, enjoying breakfast in bed and taking in the fresh air and views! Giorgos was the PERFECT host....super attentive and gracious and certainly lived up to Cretan hospitality!! Always available for our needs, he was a quick text away. If you want more privacy, stay at the Malvasia. Even though no one was staying next door in the identical shaped property, the Malvasia is higher on the hill than the property next door. My husband and I sunbathe in the nude and it was perfect for us. Be aware that the homes are on a hill atop a valley, so the wind is pretty much constant (which was fine) but required a jacket on the evenings outside in early September. The pool, although beautiful, was simply too cold to get into — even in the heat of the afternoon. We would have loved to use it more, including for early evening dips or romantic night swims, but it was beyond frigid :( That was our only disappointment. The villa is located an easy 20 minute drive to Heraklion. And the Kosmas Taverna is a 3 minute drive, absolutely incredible authentic Cretan food! And Giorgos has a great website he provides that details a number of things to do in the area and how to get the most out of your stay. It helped with orienting us to the area. We would certainly consider this location again for the future.
