We were a big family of 17 people (one baby included) staying at Villa Thymarmi for a week . Stella was such a nice and friendly host, helping out in all ways possible.
The villa was great with air-condition everywhere (all bed rooms, living room and kitchen) and the outdoor premisses were also really nice. However there are a lot of different levels, so I'm not sure I would recommend this place for people having challenges with stairs and steps. The pool was very nice (aprox. 6x12 meters and from 1,5 - 2,8 meters deep). There was also a smaller pool with 70 cm deep water. At the other side of the villa from the pool, there is a nice sitting area with a long table, nice grill and a stone built pizza oven. We tried them both with excellent results.
If I should put my finger on anything, it must be the location and especially the road to get there. After leaving the asphalt road it's a rather bumpy and dusty dirt road for aprox. 2,5 km. For those who have ever visited the wonderful beach of Balos on the north-west of Crete (by car), you will have a good idea about the road condition.
With that said, don't get me wrong. Villa Thymarmi is a really nice place to spend a relaxing holiday, and Stella is the best host you can ever desire.
