My boyfriend and I spent a week in Apartment 5 at Bella Vista and everything was absolutely perfect! The apartment is decorated beautifully and was pristine, while the pool was the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring the island.
Chris and his mother Efi were the perfect hosts and incredibly friendly, with Chris offering plenty of help and information before our arrival, and Efi looking after us during our stay. We were particularly grateful when Efi stayed up until 2am to check us in after our flight was delayed, and even more grateful to find a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge! The incredible hospitality didn't stop there though, with Efi treating us to some delicious Greek pastries for breakfast one morning and even giving us a little present when we left!
The apartments are about a 10 min drive from Agios Nikolaos and up a steep hill so a rental car is definitely recommended, but the beautiful views you'll be awarded with overlooking the sea and town are definitely worth it!
Thank you again to Chris and Efi for giving us the most amazing stay in Crete - Bella Vista truly is a gem!
