The place is very nice and the hosts are even nicer. We were met my Arestea and Michail Senior, the parents of the Michail in the listing. They were our gracious hosts the whole time we were there. They met us at a local hotel to personally guide us to the Villa with its amazing views. One of us had broken our glasses frame and asked about getting it fixed. They dropped everything and took our glasses to a friend for a quick repair. They were personally returned within a couple of hours. Now that is a gracious and amazing host. They texted us or visited us every few days to see that all was good. They also recommended the most amazing local taverna where we had a fabulous meal with local Crete families! The Villa was spacious, clean, modern and very well stocked, including special treats made by Arestea and olive oil from the Villa property. We spent several afternoons and evenings just enjoying the peace and tranquility of the back porch area. Even though there were dogs backing at times, we felt peaceful and slept well. However, it is an easy 15 minute drive to the center of Heraklion with all of the activities of the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will long have fond memories of our time there.
