Villa Rokka is a magnificent venue for the ultimate relaxation and quiet time. The views of Rokka Gorge from the pool area, and the outdoor area itself make you not needing to go anywhere else. Having seen much of Crete before, we ended up just enjoying the villa for many of our days in Rokka.
Having rented private pool villas for many years in Crete, this is the best spot we have found so far. All the details are just right, like the Nespresso coffee machine, outdoor shower, wood BBQ, great WiFi, and so on.
The location is just to our liking - by itself with no neighbors close by in the countryside, but with a few (really good local) tavernas nearby, and just 15 minutes by car to the city of Kissamos. We found the layout of the villa ideal for one couple, or a couple with kids - and there are many cozy corners for the right mix of sun, shade, and soft chairs.
Manolis and Poppy are excellent and very responsive hosts - we got a great welcome and house tour, and whatever our heart desired Manolis was immediately ready with spot on recommendations for the local food and attractions.
