We had a wonderful time at Manolis' place in Crete. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful western parts of the island - incredible beaches as well as mountains and gorges inland. The villa itself is gorgeous, even nicer than the photos. It's luxuriously decorated with plenty of traditional charm, and has everything you need for your holiday. The linen was even changed and the house cleaned half way through our stay. Manolis and his family could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful, providing us with everything we needed for our toddler and even coming to meet us for our very late (early hours of the morning) arrival from the airport. We were also invited to eat, drink & sing with the family on the farm at a sheep shearing event which was such a fun and unique experience. Overall this really was a first class experience!
