We spent a beautiful week at Evalia and have come home utterly relaxed and satisfied with our stay. As mentioned by others, Eva and Harry are wonderful hosts, going out of their way to be helpful and welcoming. The flats are well appointed if you feel like doing some light cooking yourself on lazy days by the pool. We also had the opportunity to sample Eva's delicious cooking and Harry's BBQ!
The flats are overall comfortable and bright. The bed is quite firm.
From Evalia you are within a short drive from some great visits such as Knossos and the archeological museum at Heraklion (great gelato place 5 minutes up from the front door!), also Agios Nikolaos and the very sweet Cretan olive oil farm where we tasted and purchased some delicious/organic products (+lovely ceramics). And close to the unbelievable caves as Psychro.
Eva also has some great local contacts eg Belgian massage therapist Pascale.
Overall it was brilliant and we can't wait to come back!!
