We had such a great stay at Villa Ierotha during our first visit to Crete. It was an excellent location to get to the beach, "downtown" Gavalahori, and all the other parts of western Crete we visited. The villa has so many relaxing spaces and sitting areas to unwind after a day of exploring, and the house is beautiful and the location is peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the spacious bedrooms, the many terraces, and of course the pool.
The best part of our stay though was the warm hospitality extended by Antonis and his delightful family. He was very responsive and helpful with our questions, and offered great suggestions on the many places to visit in Western Crete. We enjoyed the raki, wine, and fresh offerings from his garden. It was a wonderful experience and we would love to return!
