This villa is basically perfect. We were given great driving directions from Heraklion and met the villa owner's daughter for check-in late in the evening. We were given a great introduction to the villa along with a bottle of wine and some local snacks. Check-out was similarly smooth. The villa itself is stunning - the various outdoor areas are perfect for relaxing with a book and a drink, the pool is fantastic and the views out over the hills and down to Souda are incredible. The villa itself is comfortable, spacious and well-appointed. , We highly recommend it!
