Being a stickler for reviews, I was initially apprehensive as there was no feedback available on this property. However, after messaging the owner he explained this is just because it was a new Villa, so we decided to go for it and could not be happier we made that decision! Firstly, our host Petros could not have been more responsive and helpful from the initial booking through to checking out on the last day, to the extent he leaves a mobile phone in the villa with only his number programmed so you can call any time with any issues or just to ask for restaurant recommendations! He also insisted on picking us up from the airport (to our relief as we were arriving very late) to then take us back to the airport the next day so we could get our hire car (if hiring a car, ask Petros for advice before booking the typical 'outside the airport' options, as he has various cheaper suggestions) He also left an overly generous welcome package including his own home made olive oil and white wine. He even managed to fulfill my request when asked whether he knew any English speaking private yoga instructors for my wife - within 24 hours he had found and booked a lovely lady who visited the Villa for an hour and a half session, who also happened to be half the price of any private English instructors! All in all Petros is an absolute pro in every department, and will make all the difference to your holiday.
Secondly, the Villa it's self is absolutely stunning. It is spacious, modern and decorated to a high standard (including a restored motorbike as part of the downstairs funky decor!) The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable, the pool is pristine and surrounded by a very attractive landscaped garden. You can even pick The outside pool house is where you will spend most of your time! it has a large dining table with a very well equipped kitchen including a wood burner and a separate grill/BBQ, a bathroom and large satellite enabled TV, basically everything you will want and need whilst lounging by the pool all day. The villa is extremely secure and safe with full CCTV and solid security gates/doors. It is in a quiet, peaceful area but still within a 10 minute drive to Heraklion. The Wi-Fi is excellent with several routers so there's always a strong signal wherever you are.
If you are looking for a modern, extremely well equipped luxury villa with an exemplary airbnb host, then look no further!
