The host made us feel really welcome, the information given before and on arrival of our stay was brilliant. There was a welcome food gift with wine, beer, crisps and biscuits that was unexpected and very kind. The accommodation was amazing, with lots of lovely details and was as described and photographed. The air con in the bedrooms was a relief on the hot nights and the pool was so luxurious with plenty of loungers and seating (there was a sofa and chairs outside that I don't think was photographed, lovely and shaded for reading a book). We ate outside every morning and the two dining areas were great. The BBQ was an excellent facility too, with a great view. We bought our shopping from the bakery, butcher and mini markets in the nearest village Vryses where all the locals were really friendly and there was a lovely shaded eating area by the stream/fountains with a choice of a few restaurants/cafes, our daughter loved running over the little bridges and watching the geese. We hired a car and drove through the mountains to many beautiful beaches, our highlight was Elafonisi beach and also Chania old town and harbour were beautiful with lovely shops and restaurants. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Villa Artemis or the area we stayed in, we would love to come back. Thank you Freelance-Holidays & Diana.
