The villa fit our needs perfectly. We were a group of ten students and had just finished our final degree submissions. We wanted a nice house with a pool where we could spend most of our time to relax and that was delivered.
Nikos was a great host and very helpful. He helped with booking taxis and was very accommodating when we checked in at 4am due to flight delays. On the first day the stove wasn’t working and it got replaced straight away on the next day.
The village is very cute and the residents are very nice. There are a few taverns and a mini market for any immediate food needs and you can go on very nice hikes in the Impros Gorge.
One thing to consider is that the village is quite remote and it is difficult to go anywhere else without a car. We only had one small car so to get to the closest beach (Sfakia, ca. 20 min drive) we had to get a taxi as there is only one bus a day to go there and no bus back. Also if you want to cook yourself there is only the mini market in the village and a small supermarket (8 min drive away) nearby. Bigger supermarkets are further away. Luckily this didn’t bother us too much as we were quite happy spending most of our time at the beautiful villa and we managed to find all essentials in the supermarkets nearby.
