We had a fantastic time at the villa with our teenage kids and, frankly, there is only a long list of positive things to say about our stay!
Firstly, the villa is pristinely clean and is equipped with anything you would ever need for your stay. The beds are comfy and there is an air-conditioning unit in the lounge plus huge ceiling fans in two of the bedrooms. The twin bedroom has a wall-mounted fan. The pool is fantastic and the views at the back of endless rolling hills are spectacular! (btw, the pool area is in front of the house, the farm being at the back). There is no smell coming from the farm and all the windows and doors have nets to stop any bugs or flies coming into the house. There is a variety of lovely animals in the back yard and the kids have even been given a cute baby bunny rabbit to keep in the house for the duration of our stay:) The house is very secure and the only 'neighbours' are rows of olive trees:)
Our favourite place nearby was the vibey and stylish beach bar Cicadas. We sunbathed and did watersports there during the day and dined in the evening watching the spectacular sunset, all to the super relaxing music.
However, the biggest highlight was the friendship we made with the family. Michalis and Hara's hospitality and generosity have no bounds. We ate at their fabulous restaurant and had a day out on a beach together with our children who were similar age. The kids made friends too, which was lovely! We feel that we not only saw the touristy side of Crete but also got to know the culture and customs through interacting with the local people.
The owners were also very helpful with organising a well-priced car hire and taxis during our stay.
Thank you Hara and Michalis for your wonderful hospitality and we are looking forward to seeing you again in future!
