Villa Eva is fantastic for families with children in particular. They catered to our needs (2 infants and a 3 year old) very well, providing a cot and high chair. The outdoor area is really lovely with many places to sit, relax etc. It wasn’t really warm enough to use the pool which was a shame but we managed a dip in the sea a few times at some local beaches. There are some basic shops and restaurants in the local villages but we struggled a little with the lack of fresh food available on Crete to buy and cook yourself. The check in and out was smooth and housekeeping came every 3 days as promised. The beds were comfortable and rooms well supplied. The only real down sides were the mosquitoes outside. Eva came to bring some local bakery products and say hello and Valia was excellent with providing local recommendations. Best beaches are on the south side of the island!
