If you get the chance to stay at this villa you definitely not pass it up. This valley is so picturesque and beautiful sometimes you feel like you must be in some kind of fable or story. You are literally feet from some ancient homesteads where the mighty Sfakions fought with the invading Turks for control of the area. The food at the local tavernas is fantastic. Our hosts Ioannis and Despina were very helpful. The villa itself is a new build but designed in the old style stone and mortar of the surrounding buildings. The pool was used every day. Cretan hospitality is world class. Loved it!
