Staying at Villa-Papadosifos (4 adults having traveled a lot in Greece and worldwide) and a 22-months old kid, is one of our best travel experiences so far. Everything about the experience was first class. Starting with the smooth communication and the warm welcoming, the villa is great, being built with special care in order to seamlessly fit to the surroundings without spoiling the beautiful Cretan scenery. The house is fully functional, very well equipped, well-conditioned and we found it perfectly clean (although we were quite sensitive and alerted to the cleanness aspects since we had an infant with us, we did not manage to spot anything negative, even minor!). The "private" entrance to the sea is ideal for refreshing visits into the water also offering a nice to explore seabed.
The area is very well preserved against uncontrolled tourism, there are several day excursions to choose from (e.g. imbros gorge, Sfakia - Loutro walk path which is part of the E4 trail, etc), 3-4 beaches in walking distance and tenths of them within 30mins drive, very high quality - authentic food in large portions and exceptionally good prices (4 adults tried very hard to exceed 50 euros bills).
Villa-Papadosifos is highly recommended!
Thank you for a truly wonderful trip.
