Aposeti Villas is the most wonderfully located place to stay, with an unmatchable view across the Amari valley to Mount Ida, which is a huge and heroic presence by moonlight or in the morning as the sun rises behind it, with swallows and house martins and falcons in the air around the house. A delicious solar-heated swimming pool, a beautifully clean and functional set of rooms, a welcoming bottle of wine and olive oil, both made by Ioanna's family, and the extraordinarily warm welcome from the people of the valley wherever you turn.
