It's hard to summarize a perfect experience, there's such a long list as to why Villa Cressida is exceptional in every aspect, but we'll try. We booked a long stay in the villa and the experience was above all our expectations. The primary asset is the team that manages the villa, the service was superb. Any request or question was attended to immediately and with the greatest care. The villa and pool were kept extremely clean, we received useful local tips and communication was always efficient. The villa itself is maintained to a very high standard, it's cozy and modern, and the pool area with the view often made us skip our travelling plans, as it was an attraction on its own. The internet connectivity is probably one of the best you can find in the area. Both of us were working form the villa, being on video conferences in parallel, and the quality of the internet was to a high standard, we were surprised at how flawless it was. The kitchen is equipped with anything you might need, there's a grill in the yard, home made dinners were a treat.
Not realizing it, the location of the villa was perfect. Lake Kournas is literally around the corner, and is spectacular. There are a few tavernas in the area, most of which have the best food we've tried in Crete. Amazing beaches are about a 10 min drive and Rethymno, Chania and Heraklion are all within a reasonable drive.
We will defiantly plan another stay in this great find. Can't recommend this place enough.
