We had a wonderful stay in the modern, comfortable and tasteful villa. We loved the location, especially the breathtaking views of 360° from all the various terraces and many big windows over the green valley with the olive trees up to the snow covered mountains and along the rocky gorge down to the ocean.
Yiannis rents two villas next to each other which differ in floor plan and composition. Since in the description shows pictures of both villas it is difficult to imagine which of the two you rent, but both are well worth!
Eleni from the staff gave us a warmhearted welcome and offered daily service (rubbish, towels), we didn't meet Yiannis, but contact has been always fast and helpful. The situation on top of a steep hill leads in consequence to a long stair up to the house, but the staff offers help with carrying up the luggage.
The house was nicely decorated with fresh Callas. A homemade tasty cake and Raki were offered for our use. There are very good beds with duvets, nice linen and towels. Various seating areas also inside, open fireplace, well equipped kitchen (no basic stocks).
It has been early in the year, but we could sit outside sheltered from the winds for late breakfast. We even used the wonderful pool once, even if it was just freshly filled and still real cold!
You can reach Plakias and Prevelli by car in about 20-25 min, Rethymnon in about 30 min, so very good location to explore the center of Crete!
Thanks Yiannis!
