After such a difficult year we didn’t think we’d make it on holiday in 2020. Our plans to travel to Majorca were cancelled due to covid so at the very last minute we booked a flight to Crete as we knew how safe the island was. After searching we found the Quintessential Villa and couldn’t believe our luck when it was available. From the point of booking Nikos was a brilliant host, communicating with us regularly before and during our stay-even meeting us late at night upon arrival to drive us to the villa and buying us some breakfast. The villa was absolutely stunning, with breath taking views and an excellent pool which our girls loved. We spent our time exploring the island and making the most of the incredible location. The villa had everything we needed and we really felt at home. It was extremely peaceful with only the local sheep for company! I can honestly say I have never stayed somewhere so beautiful in years and I was sad to say goodbye to it all!
