Villa Jasmine is simply perfect in every sense. The design of this stunning, completely refurbished home is truly breathtaking and has been done to the highest standards. Aesthetically, this villa is just so beautiful - the light fixtures, drapes, decor, tiles, furniture - and no expense has been spared on the appliances which are all top quality, brand names. The beds were all super comfy, made up with hotel-quality linen and the towels were huge and fluffy. Even bathrobes and slippers were provided. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with full sets of crockery, cutlery and glassware and plenty of appliances, pots, pans and gadgets to cook a full three-course meal if you so desire. The outdoor terrace is open yet private - a jacuzzi at sunset with a glass of local wine is a must. The personal touches left by our incredibly lovely hosts - a 'welcome basket' of local products from Crete, basics in the pantry (enough to make a meal if you arrive late or don't get to the supermarket), a fruit bowl and plenty of water in the fridge - were so gratefully appreciated. Tablets for the dishwasher and detergent for the washing machine were also provided - it's the little things! Episkopi is a lovely little town and was a great base for us to explore other areas of Crete in our hire car - Chania, Glyka nera, Georgiopouli to name a few - recommended by our hosts. There are plenty of taverns nearby to enjoy great Greek food and a supermarket is a 5-minute walk from the villa. There is a huge stretch of beach a 5-minute drive away where you can free-range or hire a beach lounger at one of the many beach clubs dotted along the sand. Our hosts - Maria and Iosif - were available to answer any questions and made our stay and Villa Jasmine one we will never forget.
