This is a lovely villa - very clean, excellent location for the beach and some fabulous restaurants (shout out to Sirtaki Tavern!). It has great views of the sea and the nearby islands. The pool is kept very clean; it was cleaned pretty much every other day of our 14-night stay, and almost always done early in the morning before we were up and about. The villa itself was cleaned halfway through our stay with towels and bedding changed etc. and the cleaning lady was very friendly and respectful about space as regards COVID-19 safety. The gentlemen who maintain the outdoor areas (the gardens are immaculate with gorgeous palms and even some topiary) are very friendly - they waved us off as we left.
The villa has everything you could need in terms of utensils and equipment and other items. We travelled with our young baby and it was amazing to have a good quality high chair, cot and baby bath to use. There were also some toys there that our baby loved playing with. It is an excellent choice if you have young children.
The property feels very safe and secure, which we appreciated: the complex is a gated community and only accessible to the people in the 6(?) properties therein. The villas are far enough away from one another that we didn’t feel overlooked and we weren’t disturbed by noise at all.
Magdalena, who manages the property, was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she is really easy to communicate with if we needed anything.
All in all we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this villa and this part of Crete.
