There is no way to describe the quality of this holiday home. Everything in the house is very practical and build with an eye for details. As I learned the whole Stelios family was involved in building the villa and it is very obvious that they have done so with much love.
The house and the pool outside are kept very clean so we as a guest had nothing to do but relax and enjoy our holiday. Which we really did.
The Stelios family, especially Stelios and Maria, are exceptional. They take good care of their guests and are keeping the Cretan traditions alive. All the small things they gave us, like homemade sheep’s cheese or cookies, cucumbers or zucchinis from the garden, their own olive oil is something we never experienced before and is a precious thing for which we were very grateful.
Luckily for us, one of grand children of the Stelios family was baptised at the beginning of our holiday and we were invited to join the celebration. This was very nice as you always hear or read about such a party, outside under the stars, a nice temperature with great Cretan food, wine and music. And of course, very friendly people celebrating happily. A nice side effect was afterwards we were treated by the rest of the families from Lavidia as neighbours which made us feel very accepted in the community.
I am not one for writing a rating about a villa we used during our holiday (France, Norway or Crete). However, this is such an exceptional house with such nice people around where you can really experience the Cretan hospitality and I truly believe that is it something everybody should experience.
