The Villa is smashing as everything is as stated on the website.
We are an extended family of two 'aged' parents, four 'young' adults and a toddler, so had a lot of different aims and agendas to fulfil. - The layout of the Villa let us be together but provided privacy when we wanted it.
The staff we encountered were pleasant and polite and all spoke sufficient English for us to communicate effectively, which took pressure off.
The walk from the Villa into the old town is very easy ( best, for us, accomplished by walking along the water front) and took around 30 mins at a very leisurely pace. However, we used the hire car service recommended by Kostas and had a spacious 9 seater and a saloon to enable us to split to made different trips. - Town roads are very narrow and locals seem to have their own driving and parking rules, so caution is necessary, but it's not dangerous; just different! - It is only a 10 minute drive from the Villa to the Old Town where there is lots of inexpensive parking. - Be aware that there is only one car parking space at the Villa, so need to park anything else on the street.
There is lots to keep you entertained on Crete, from vineyard tours/tastings, diving, car trips, to jet skiing, but the Villa has a pool, hot tub, sauna, a couple of terraces etc, so there is also plenty to keep you busy on site. The beach is only a few minutes away, as are numerous eating and drinking places: What's good is that they do not impact on the Villa!
We stayed 7 days and ate out for almost all our meals as there is a wide variety of restaurants, and pricing is very reasonable.
Crete has a wide variety of offerings for our stay and we had a smashing time just getting out and doing all of the things that we wanted. Being able to come back to the Villa after each trip, and feel that the space was ours, made the break special.
The Villa, and Crete, very much deserve a five star rating!
