My family of four had a great stay in Villa Regina. Communication and support from our host was excellent, and the Villa and property is new, upscale, extremely clean, offers amenities, and the outdoor area and pool is incredible.
The Villas are tucked into a hillside facing East towards Heraklion, which gives good views of the city with gorgeous sunrises, and a beautiful night skyline of the city lights. The pool and outdoor areas is fantastic and we spent so much time here with our kids swimming - incredible private pool. As the villas sit on the east side of a hill the outdoor area loses direct sun around 5-6 pm. There are a number of great cafes/beaches for sunsets if you drive 10-20 minutes north on the coast around the mountain. The drive into Heraklion is on a highway, but very quick (15-20 min). The Ammoudara Beach area is very close (<10 min) and has a lot of nice restaurants close by to offer. The inside of the Villa is spacious, two full masters, a great common area layout with a nice kitchen, and great air conditioning. We used the massage and laundry services while we were there, both very convenient and recommended.
We had a great stay and give two thumbs up.
