We had a fantastic stay in the Villa. We were 2 families - looking for a nice, kid-friendly place in the middle between Chania and Heraklion. 4 Adults and 3 children - everyone had their own bed - and we could have fit even more people if we wanted. The gates on the stairs were useful to keep the young children away. Staying in October is a really good time to be in Crete with children. It is not too hot, but hot enough to go to the beach, water is still warm. The pool is beautiful, but it is not heated. We used it once - water is really cold, but it was possible to go in during the hot hours 10am-2pm. We preferred the sea which was warmer and also Kourna Lake which is 20 minutes drive from there. The host is very kind and welcomed us with Cake and some local drinks, and went above and beyond to find us a working plug for the bath.
The location is perfect with a view to the sea and there is a very small partly sand partly rocky beach (Kamari Beach) reachable with a 5 minute walk. Having a car though is a must if you wish to explore the area or get groceries from the supermarkets (Lidl was nearest about 5 minute drive).
