We had the most wonderful two week stay at Villa Europa. Our group ranged from an 84 year old to a 22 year old, five people in all and the villa was ideal in all respects for all ages.
The location of the villa near Vouves, and about 4km from Kolimbari with an excellent supermarket was perfect. It is sits atop a hill looking over the sea in one direction, olive grove strewn hills in another with the mountains as a splendid backdrop. Very quiet with only one other building nearby.
The local area also has a butcher, bakers and a patisserie so most things are covered, including doctors. Excellent selection of local restaurants including Edem and Arhontiko in Kolimbari right on the waterfront.
Wolfgang could not have been more accommodating and helpful. We used his travel business - Creta Reisen - to book two cars for our stay and that worked well, picking them up in Heraklion (2 hr drive).
The villa itself has all you could need for great cooking, a Nespresso (critical for us) and a large fridge. Very efficient machines that all worked well including dishwasher and washing machine. The pool is great with 8 sun beds and good shade if needed. The garden was immaculate, set out in terraces with a vegetable patch at the bottom. The house, pool and garden were all regularly cleaned, cut etc by a very efficient team.
Overall we could not speak more highly of the villa, location and support that enabled us to have a perfect holiday. Very highly recommended!
