The view is magnificent and the villa is clean. Unfortunately the host was present on property (in a ground floor apartment) the entire time while we stayed on the floors above. So we always felt we were being watched. One of the hosts windows overlooks the swimming pool area. On the commination side, the host seems pleasant at first but surprised us with a few inhospitable actions very quickly. As a matter of fact, the host went into the villa while we were away for dinner one night and without prior permission or communication he decided to turn off the AC to save on electricity. We did not appreciate this action at all and felt our privacy was violated. On another morning, we were woken up by loud banging noise made by a plumper contacted by the host to fix something downstairs. The noise stopped in a few minutes but we were all up and cranky at that point.
We loved our trip to Crete and the view we had. However, I honestly would not recommend staying at this villa and will not return there myself.
