We really loved staying at the villa! We checked in late on Sunday night after a 90 minute drive from Chania, so we appreciated the clear directions and self check-in instructions. Our hosts had left some provisions for breakfast the next morning so we had no concerns on that front. Throughout the week George was very communicative and willing to help with anything.
As for the rest of the stay, the villa was brilliant for our needs. It was far enough away from the heavily populated areas to give us the seclusion we wanted, but the resort town of Bali is close enough for shopping, restaurants and takeaway, and the drive to Rethymno or Heraklion is reasonable when going further afield. We didn't stay long enough to take in the whole island, but when we are next here, this will be a great base from which to explore.
The bedrooms are large and air-conditioned, the bathroom is nice and the kitchen is well-organised. The lovely pool was a particular favourite, as was the friendly black cat whom the girls christened Lola. The decor and presentation inside and the garden outside gave us a real sense of being in a Cretan home away from home.
Thanks very much to our hosts, it was a wonderful stay.
