This was the most relaxing holiday we've ever had. The villa is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and clean and has an amazing sea view. The sea is literally seven steps down from the private terrace and a few steps across the beach. The water was very warm and clear in August. I did have plans for hiking during that week in Crete, but once I saw the terrace and the see right in front of the villa, all my hiking plans gone out of the window. The view is incredible and the sound of crashing waves is very soothing, and there is always a gentle sea breeze on the terrace.
There are three restaurants in walking distance and another two 5 minutes drive from the village, all cooking delicious Greek food. One local restaurant even does breakfasts if you decide not to rent a car. There are a few supermarkets and bakeries in the local town 10 min drive from Nopigia.
Ria is wonderful host, met us at the property when we arrived and gave us a good brief on the villa and the local amenities. She lives locally and was very responsive if we had any questions.
Thank you Ria, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be very happy to come back another time!
