To our most amazing hosts, Dina, Zaccharias and Emmanuel,
We have had the most wonderful relaxing stay at your beautiful villa. It has been a home away from home.
Your generosity was overwhelmingly warm and genuine. You made us feel like part of your family. We were met halfway down the valley so they could guide us there without getting lost as I am certain we would have now that we have been driving around this area. Upon our arrival we were shown around the villa and the pictures were as true as the real real thing. A very refreshing element as most accommodation can be rather deceptive in their depiction of facilities ( something we have had first hand knowledge in this trip to Greece)!
Dina your foods was absolutely delicious,we enjoyed your moussaka on that first day for our lunch and the boys had it for breakfast the next day. The highlight of our stay was having with Dina and Zaccharias, again your food was superb... Zaccharias famous Vlita, Dina's gemista, purslane salad and let's not forget Dina's famous dessert galektobouriko, ( I need your recipe Dina). A good time wad had by all, tasting Zaccharias's wines and raki and even some Cretan dancing!!
The villa was perfect for the six of us, plenty of space for everyone to have their own area to chill out. We relaxed in the shade of the olive tree in the afternoon whilst watching the boys play in the pool. Sat on the terrace watching the sheep ramble up the hill and enjoying the magnificent view to the sea. the rooms were spacious and well appointed, the kitchen had all the amenities we needed, The barbecue area was fantastic to have a little social gathering which we did with the hosts. Our own garden to pick vegetables and herbs from, organic eggs from Dina's chickens. Villa Horizon is truly a five star Villa.
Thank you so much for your warmth, Kindness, generosity and most of all your friendship.
We hope to return to Crete one day and back to our villa we call home!!
Yiassias and filiakia
