We had an incredibly relaxing week at Villa Stella. The villa itself is very comfortable and tastefully furnished with a lovely bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. The bedroom is cool and fresh with air con and beautifully crisp cotton sheets. The gardens are exquisite with mature trees, shrubs and flowers In gorgeous Cretan pots. There is an orange, lemon and pomegranate tree. The sound of mountain gosts’ bells mixed with cicadas is the epitome of rural Greece. There are several gorgeous spots outside for al fresco dining and we particularly enjoyed sitting at the stunning stone table with incredible views of Souda Bay. The secluded little pool was beautifully refreshing in the intense heat of late July. Everything that could possibly be provided for us by our host, Stella, was there for us and she was always helpful, kind and attentive. I would recommend this stay to any couple wishing to totally relax in a rural Greek location with the comforts of home.
