We decided to confine ourselves in Crete for the month of April 2021 as France prepared for the third Wave of Covid and another lockdown. This house was our perfect confinement space, we had to quarantine for 7 days in paradise first! the view is the best in Stalos, the surrounding olive groves and hills enable long hikes or runs, the beach is 3 kms but all downhill, and the pool and terrace are wonderful for chilling or relaxing or doing yoga in peace and calm.
April can be windy and even colder than expected but lots of sun too and paradisiacal beaches nearby that arw empty. so we have a memory that we'll cherish in our family of April 2021 in the Villa Athena.
Yannis and Emmanuel and the house caretakers were all amazingly helpful and reactive. Weekly housekeeping meant that I had more time to relax or work while there (it was a "flex-cation"; we worked remotely the whole time). We'll definitely return to the beautiful villa with it's breathtaking view of the area and the blue Sea if life permits.
