The Villa is everything it appears to be in the pictures and the communication with the hosts/owners was excellent. The views are beautiful and the outdoor living space lends itself incredibly well to the lovely Crete weather. For those who love swimming in a pool, you will love the infinity pool. We swam in the sea more, but definitely spent a lot of time by the pool and on the patio with our books, a coffee or glass of wine. The local village is small, but big enough to have amenities and restaurants you look for on holiday. The beach was a really nice size as well - smaller and more intimate than others we visited. We loved it. If you want a little more action, Agia Pelagia is a short drive and offers a bigger beach, all sorts of water activities and restaurants. We found the Villa's location on Crete perfect for some great days exploring further afield. This place is a gem.
