The pictures don’t lie – it is as beautiful as it looks! The villa is located in a beautiful area in the mountains and we are already missing the view and the sound of goat bells and cicadas. There is an outdoor eating area right outside the kitchen where we had all our dinners. It was perfect for us because we all could sit around the table (10 people), and it became our natural meeting spot. The villa is completely functional and charming, and we didn’t miss a single thing. We have to mention the pool area, which is extraordinary. We spent a lot of days just staying at the pool area, reading books and swimming.

The people in the local village are very kind. We went to a restaurant in the village, which was an unforgettable experience.

The villa is located in the middle of the island and therefore we would recommend that you rent a car. It takes 30 minutes to the nearest beach. The drive to Chania is about one hour and the drive to Rethimno is about 45 minutes.

The Host
Jannis is the perfect host! He is very kind and really service minded. Before we went to the villa we informed Jannis that we would bring a baby to the villa. In relation to this, Jannis provided a stroller, a crib, a baby chair and a child seat.

During our stay, he came by to clean the house every third day and was always reachable by phone. He recommended us to experience different things on Crete, which was a huge help.

Jannis is an incredible host and he made us fell at home in his villa.

Thanks to Jannis and his Villa, we had an unforgettable holiday and we are definitely coming back.
