We can't hesitate to recommend Villa Piedra enough!
The villa is clearly very newly built and has every modern luxury and comfort you could want, including air conditioning in each room (that can be controlled separately from each room), a modern bathroom with a good shower, TVs in rooms compatible with netflix and other apps etc. Yet it's also been built in a sympathetic style so has that rustic and cosy feel and fits in perfectly with its beautiful rural landscape
It's located in a lovely little rural Cretan village on a hillside with absolutely beautiful views over the hills and the village that are second to none! You are not overlooked and it feels beautifully private. It has a gorgeous little pool and some really nice features in the garden like a hammock, egg swing seat and BBQ
We came for a mini moon after we were unable to go on our pre-booked Sri Lankan honeymoon due to covid restrictions and it was just a perfect choice for a really nice week away! We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity, yet it's also only a 15 min drive from bigger towns that have facilities such as supermarkets, tavernas and restaurants. We also visited some amazing beaches recommended to us by some Greek friends which were only half an hour away, though still preferred the beautiful views 'at home' around the villa! There was also a great botanical garden only 30 mins away, so it really is all on your doorstep, though of course you do need to hire a car to do all those things. You'd definitely need to hire a car to stay here, but I think it only adds to your stay to enable you to explore Crete and visit different places.
Christina is an absolutely lovely host! We could easily text her and she always responded quickly.
All in all, a great stay! and we'd happily recommend tis villa to anyone looking for a beautiful Cretan escape for the week! Thanks Christina!
