We stayed 5 nights at Villa Samitos and can only echo all of the superlative comments prior reviewers have written about the property, the host, Manolis, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Rumy. The Amari Valley is a truly magical place and Villa Samitos is the perfect home base for exploring it. Manolis went out of his way to provide us with all of the detailed information that we needed to discover the many hidden gems the valley has to offer, and treated us to a mini-tour of Amari Village one night while he was visiting from Rethymno. We unreservedly give the Villa Samitos our very highest recommendation.
