One of those places that is better in real life than in the pictures. Efi, Chris, Dimitris and Marius really were fantastic hosts. The room was stunning - Efi is a true artist and has made it both homely and stunning. The Easter BBQ, cooked by Dimitris with Chris as the assistant was one of our favourite evenings in Greece and we really felt welcomed to the family.
The apartments are about a 10 min uphill drive from Agios Nikolaos, so a hire car is very useful - it is also walkable (45-55mins). It was lovely to relax at the apartments by the pool (very cold in April! But I’m sure will heat up over the next few weeks) and close enough to explore some local sights - eg Plaka / Spinalonga (20mins), Heraklion / Knossos (1 hour) .
I highly recommend Bella Vista apartments and we will definitely be back!!
