We have had a wonderful week at Villa Karena.
The contact with the host has been top and a nice "pool guy" (has a hotel up in Gerani town) came every other day and cleaned the pool.
Bath towels, towels & pool towels and bed linen are included.
The villa:
A cozy villa with everything imaginable. Air conditioning where you need (in the bedrooms).
The kitchen, well equipped with what you need and has both a microwave and a dishwasher.
Living room / dining area inside - Modern TV (Greek channels + Netflix) and bed sofa (+ coffee table) are in the combined living room / kitchen. Very well functioning Wi-fi. Nice dining area inside is also available but we did not use it.
The bathroom has a bathtub and is very nice and feels fresh.
Great that a washing machine is available so you can limit its packing :).
The outdoor patio where we ate all our meals is sheltered by a shady roof. Next to the pool is a cozy lounge sofa + chairs and a table as well as sun loungers and parasols.
The pool was clean and fresh and well tempered and there is also an outdoor shower so you can shower before and after bath. Very comfortable!
The only thing that can be a little minus is noise from the road below (but the cicadas usually overwhelm the road noise :) ) plus the tavern down at The Gerani beach is unfortunately now closed. The beach (without sun loungers / parasols) is 5-7 minutes walking distance and it is great snorkelling here.
We recommend to rent a car if you live here for excursions to different beaches and Crete's all sights.
Gerani "city" above is small and cozy with good restaurants and small mini market.
The accommodation was for us beyond expectation & we would recommend it & the host Karen warm.
We will gladly come back! Thanks Karen!
