My family spent a little over a month in Crete. We chose this villa for our first week, and I already reviewed our stay. But I wanted to leave an updated review because we chose to stay here AGAIN at the very end of our time in Crete, and we’re so glad we did!!!
I cannot say enough about the hospitality of Maria and her brother. We stayed for a short time, but Maria left us snacks and drinks and welcomed us back as if we were her own family.
We got to see the beach in its high season, and it was spectacular!! Maria has beach chairs at the house, so you’ll be able to sit comfortably on the free beach areas if you don’t want to pay for loungers and umbrellas at one of the nearby organized areas. (See my other review for more on that.)
This beach is full of locals. You get to see it fill up, and you get to see it clear out and become just yours at the end of the day.
If we’re ever lucky enough to get to return to Crete, you can be sure we’ll book this apartment again!! (Don’t know if I mentioned it or not in my last review, but the wifi is solid here, too.)
It’s absolutely everything I love about Airbnb: You live like a local, and you are treated like family.
