Maria was a great host. She was extremely attentive and swiftly addressed any issues we had. She made us feel welcomed and was able to provide some great recommendations. The villa was an excellent oasis that provided just the right amount of comfort to escape the heat while still enjoying a beautiful Cretan view! Every room has a great bathroom, excellent air conditioning, and comfortable firm beds. The kitchen was excellent and had just about everything a functional kitchen needs. The pool was fantastic, although it might be good for some to know that it is the same depth throughout at about 5 feet. The upstairs jacuzzi was delightful, especially after a long day. Day or night the view was beautiful from there. The location was convenient. It's close to many restaurants, tavernas, and super markets. Additionally, it's not too far from famous beaches like Elefonisi (1.5 hr), Falasarna (45 min), or Balos. Our stay here was good. The only caveat we could provide is the lack of privacy. If privacy is a priority for you, this is probably not the right place. The surrounding villas all have a direct view somewhere to this one. However, if that's not a big deal, it's more than ideal.
