Villa Aerino was great for us. We loved it.
We stayed here for a week and we just loved it.
I liked the Cretan style from the photos on the site, in the first place. And the fact that the place looked exactly as seen, was very nice.

The house looked gorgeous, the beds were very nice personalized and everything around. It had everything we needed and even things we could not have thought about, but resulted very useful.
We used the washing machine twice, we used the sandwich maker and the toast maker every day to have stuff prepared for the beach.

The host greeted us with goodies like fruits, honey, jam, olive oil. That was nice. We also received recommendations for stuff to do, places to eat, products to buy. This is what I love about Airbnb, the fact that hosts can help provide opinions, suggestions, local preferences.

We find it far though to reach different places. We could not walk anywhere if we wanted. But we had a car rented, and this is a suggestion for others, to rent one, so we managed.

We enjoyed the chocolate donuts at the bakery nearby, we bought groceries at Kissamos Carrefour, we ate at these great places (like Sunset tavern in Sfinari).

We liked the Vigli beach nearby, it was nice and not crowded.
Even more we loved the Falassarna beach (although we visited the Balos Lagon and Elafonissi also), the small beach of its side. We went there quite regularly and the kids enjoyed it. We did too.

The thing we loved the most is that it wasn't a touristic area, we actually didn't looked for such areas, we were among local neighbors and olive trees. :P

So, keep calm, rent a car and stay at Aerino.
It's such a nice experience.
