Napisz publiczną recenzję We stayed at Villa George for 2 weeks, 13 people in total. The villa is large and spacious and comprises two mirrored apartments. There are two bathrooms in each of them, including one with a bathtub. There is a large and well-kept garden around the whole villa and, most importantly, a large and clean swimming pool. The depth (1.90 m at the deep and 1.30 at the shallow end) makes swimming easy and fun. There is also a smaller shallow pool for children. There are many sunbeds beside the pool perfect for relaxing and tanning in the Cretan sun. There is also an outdoor shower by the pool to rinse off after swimming. There is a lot of space in front of the villa, enough to park 2-3 cars rented from one of the many rental places around the town. Every morning we were visited by Dio’s father (a very nice older gentleman), who watered the garden, cleaned up the pool and asked us if we needed anything. He also allowed us to see a more authentic part of Crete – his family home in Adele, a small village a 15 minute walk away from the villa. To everyone reading this, we really recommend visiting this charming little village. The nearest shops and restaurants are roughly 10-15 minutes away on foot. We’d like to recommend the restaurant “Poppy”, where we had most of our dinners – the food is great, prices surprisingly low and a nice and friendly staff. Especially worth mentioning is the grilled octopus and aubergines as well as, obviously, the traditional fresh bread and olive oil. The local beach is, unfortunately, nothing to write home about – it’s not very charming nor clean, so we’d advise against going there and staying by the pool instead. A good alternative is going on a day trip to one of Crete’s most beautiful beaches such as Elafonissi, Balos or Preveli with the famous palm forest and long descent down hundreds of rocky stairs. The villa is adequately equipped, but there are things that could definitely be improved. The appliances in the kitchens could have been a little nicer – the one tiny kettle is definitely not enough for a large group of people and only one of the apartments is equipped with a dishwasher (not working, too). Not a dealbreaker by any means, but something worth noting anyway. There is a washing machine in both apartments, which is a big plus. Another very welcome addition is air conditioning in every bedroom, which makes sleeping there much more comfortable. The hosts also provided a set of towels (2 per person) and sheets, which they replaced after a week. There is one safe in each apartment. Sadly, not every room has a mirror. Both of the apartments have an exit to the garden and a very large balcony. This was our first ever holiday in Crete, but we will certainly come back here one day. Beautiful landscape and wonderful,...
