The true test of the villa rental experience is a simple question. Would we rent the villa again? The answer is a resounding YES. The villa is all one could ask for and more. Clean, comfortable, and spacious, with all the conveniences of home. Top notch appliances, comfortable, clean furniture, all with a view that is stunning. If you feel the need for air conditioning there are modern units in abundance, or just slide the glass doors and windows open and enjoy the breeze, which is cool and refreshing. Walk out onto the huge terrace and look right to the old city, left to the spectacular sunsets, or just sit mesmerized by the 180 degree view of the sea with all its splendor. Equally important is the feeling of security. Never once did we feel as if we were in an unsafe area.

Our host, Teo, is a remarkable young man. Not only is his manner and English impeccable, he is genuinely anxious for his guests to feel comfortable and secure in what used to be his own residence. I was impressed by his willingness to relinquish the keys to the villa with no reservations as to whether or not his guests would care for his villa as he would have. He went out of his way to insure that we new what places of interest were available, where we could shop for provisions, what restaurants were nearby, and most importantly, that he was available at all times should we need him. I can honestly say he made certain that we experienced Crete in a manner that few outsiders could hope to be privy. Thanks, Teo, for allowing us to participate in the ultimate Crete experience.
