Absolutely amazing holiday. The villa was even lovelier than expected, very clean and well equipped with a great size pool and wonderful garden space both front and back of the property - the outside space is particularly pretty at night when all lit up.
All facilities were exactly as described and even nicer than the photographs showed.
We rented a car during our stay and found the location worked really well for us - it felt slightly off the beaten track so was lovely and quiet, but was very convenient for Heraklion and the national road so getting around was easy.
There is a mini market and pharmacy right beside the villa which is very convenient, and a couple of tavernas within walking distance.
The nearby village of Archanes is very pretty and we had a delicious dinner in the ambience of the town square one evening.
Alexandros was incredibly helpful during our stay and answered any queries we had very quickly - a great host.
Overall we had a fabulous holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the villa.
