My family and I stayed for a long weekend and wish it could have been longer. The check-in process was super. George pointed out the local supermarket which was handy, and some local beaches to check out which we did and had a lovely day doing so. The villa is wonderfully laid out, and whilst we didn’t use the pool on this trip, I imagine it would be welcome to take a dip in on a very hot day. George provided a thorough tour of the villa, and left us some lovely fruit as a welcome gift, which we thought was a sweet touch. George was available throughout our stay to answer any questions, and we received prompt and very friendly, helpful responses.
The villa is located not far from Heraklion and is close to a main road, but it feels very secluded which was what we wanted. It is amidst an area currently being built on, but we weren’t disturbed by it at all - when inside we didn’t hear them and thanks to the distance between the villa and the work, we could barely hear it when outside either and didn’t feel looked in on, as the terrace area is so much higher. On the Sunday when no work men were around at all, I took a stroll down to the water to admire the view. A number of locals were down at the waters edge fishing in crystal clear water. At about 5pm each day the local goat herder rounds up the goats who graze in the area - this is quite a sight to see.
We would stay here again.
