Villa Marvi is set at the top of Roumeli - a little village very typical of Cretan villages throughout the area. It is 2 miles from Panormos so a hire car is essential, though you’d need that realistically to get there from the airport.
Stelios and family were brilliant and even though we were delayed arriving 23.30 when we got there- all the family met us with a lovely meal, food from the garden, wine and raki!
The villa is in great condition- everything works perfectly and it’s a nice combination of being away from the town but easy to get to.
The outdoor spaces are lovely and kept immaculate- pool is really for cooling off - and a bit close to the adjacent villa - but that’s being a bit picky.
We loved our 2 weeks in Crete (4th visit over last 15 yrs) - and Villa Marvi is perfectly placed to get to Heraklion, Rethymnon and other villages on theNorth coast.
