Villa Moana is a gem set in a wonderful country village, on the marvellous island of Crete. To say it was good would be a severe understatement.
The house is new, beautiful stone walls design. Big wide spaces inside and outside. Central very quiet air conditioning. Living room with professional quality billiards, comfortable sofas all featured in white, cinema room with huge TV. A big enough pool outside where children can play all day. There is a little space for everyone to sit and have a quiet hour with a book, or get together on one of the three large tables (one on the promontory overlooking the bay, one next to the pool and the barbeque, one in the living room).
The beach is across the little pedestrian street and there are private lounges for us there too. The beach is in the wide bay of the Bali village. The bay is about 1.5 to 1.5km, 3 to 5 m deep, clear water, bottom covered with sand and rocks and colorful fishes so prepare to spend hours peering through your goggles.
Back to the house - it is the little things that impressed us much - the pictures on the walls, the well stocked wine cooler with greek whites and rose, the stylish candles on the living room table, the sound system with outdoor speakers, the various chairs carefully spaced in all the little corners in the garden.
The most impressive was the service - Mr. Manolis was at our disposal day and night. You only need to look at him and his other boy and they run to you and are ready to help with whatever is the matter (we needed flour 10:00pm, in our last evening!)
Even the cleaning ladies were nice - always smiling, they cooked two (2!!) different halva cakes for us to try when they learned that we were curious about Greek pastries.
Marvellous vacation.
