This villa is all about the pool. It is a beautiful area with a classic design. The area is surrounded by mature gardens and is private.
The pool is the very large, it was cold because of that. There is a shower room with toilet and bar/eating area with a fridge. There is sun on the pool from morning until 5 in the afternoon. The bar area is in the sun until sunset. There are lots of sockets for phones and speakers. There were lilos, bats and ball, flippers and mask that you can use. We spent most of our time here.
The accommodation is a ground floor apartment of the villa, which is totally private.
It is classily decorated with antique furniture. It is in the trees at the other end of the gardens to the pool. Which means it is quite cool.
There is a new kitchen area with all the things you will need.
The bathroom is a little dated but there were nice touches of toiletries and olive soap. Plenty of hot water, but it does take time to come through.
The patio area is shaded by a canopy and is very pretty with lovely plants and flowers all around.
The road by the villa is quiet and you are above the main national road, but you only get a slight background noise.
You have access to all the gardens and you get a sea view from the top of the garden.
There is a great local Taverna about 1km up the road Dixalo, people come from Heraklion to eat there. We went there 3 times.
There are a couple of local villages with plenty of restaurants and bars.
Taxis charge a standard €15 to anywhere in the area. You definitely need a car.
Jan the caretaker and Filia were very helpful.
We had a very restful holiday and will return.
