I come to Villa Duente with my wife and 13 year old son, looking for a nice and quite place in Crete.
Indeed, it was a very good choice
The Villa is located in a small village called Pirgou, 20-25 min from Heraklion. Hard to think of a quietest place! You are able to hear the "sound of silence". Our expectations were 100% met.
Additionally, the Villa is very nice. A typical old Crete stone house, refurbished with very good taste keeping the harmony between old and new. Pictures in airbnb page reflect it very well. The house is spacious and functional. There is a small pool outdoors and also bbq facilities
Co-host Maria was very responsive, helping us with everything including covid test issues not related to her duty
As the Villa is located in a small village, a car is mandatory. The smallest the better, as roads in the Village are narrow. On the other hand power is also important as all Crete are ups and downs. I would not recommend a car with 1000cc only
Thank you all for a great stay in Crete!!
