We decided to book a flight to Crete at the last moment and contacted Costis our potential host and within minutes he got back to us about the Villa and all we had to know about it. After arrival we picked up our rental carl and drove to the small town near the Villa where Costis awaited us to guide us to the Villa although it was clearly past midnight!
The Villa is brand-new, the garden, pool etc. is absolutely stunning and we were the very first guests which had the pleasure to stay in it. The view of the country side and the sea (approx. 2km air-line distance) is marvelous. This is a very pleasant and tranquil place, ideal for relaxing and forgetting about daily routine at home. No wonder that leaving the terrace and pool was a real challenge each time. The Villa and area was very clean and had all the things we needed and more (There was even a snack prepared for our arrival, a bottle of wine, fruits, bread and everything what we needed for breakfast at the first morning!)
The garden was amazing, no wonder that we even spent most evenings at home with BBQ and wine.
In our opinion a car is essential on Crete as you should explore at least some of the island and its beaches. This was definitely the best self-contained experience we ever had. Thank you for the awesome place of residence!
