Our stay at Villa Despina was outstanding and Stelios’ warm hospitality unrivalled. The area is a perfect escape from the busier tourist areas of Crete, yet closer to the best beaches, sites and experiences on the island. Kissamos is full of excellent tavernas, cafes, shops and chilled out town life.
Stelios kindly waited to meet us and show us the villa after our flight was delayed an hour, late at night. He was in touch throughout the holiday, with helpful insights and unexpected, thoughtful and delicious gifts. The villa was pristine and immaculately decorated. Every door and window had mosquito netting, which was great as Blain and I are mosquito magnets and were worried about getting bitten. We didn’t see any mosquitos around the villa. The air conditioning was powerful and the best I’ve ever experienced! The showers were powerful and deluxe. The pool was bigger then I imagined in the photos and we had lots of fun chilling and splashing around on my rubber rind and the lilo that was there. There were separate towels for the pool, which I thought was great. The beds were really comfy and there was loads of storage in the rooms. The wifi was fast and the kitchen was fully fitted.
This was an amazing trip, this villa is the one, you should definitely stay here!
