We have just returned from a two week stay at Villa Bay View and had a thoroughly great time, both in Crete and at the villa.
The villa is ideally located. A few minutes from the main road, and a few hundred metres from a large Lidl supermarket, yet on a quiet country lane. The beach with the usual bars and cafes is a 10 minute walk away.
We were met by our host who gave us an extensive tour of the property and recommended a beach taverna for food and drink - ask Emmanouil for details. I highly recommend.
The property is exactly as described and the photographs are an accurate representation of what you will find. If anything they don't do the property justice! We stayed as a couple, but it is large enough to comfortably accommodate a family or two couples. Although the photographs show a large wood fired BBQ, there is also a large hooded gas BBQ on the terrace (not pictured). We used this throughout our stay and cooked out on the enormous terrace. All the windows and patio doors are fitted with integral insect mesh, so can be left open without any concerns of mosquito bites.
Overall - highly recommended
