This is a beautiful villa with breathtaking views of mountains and olive groves on all sides. An ideal place to stay if you are looking to get away from the 'kiss-me-quick' touristy side of Crete. The nearby town of Misoruma has one fairly good medium-sized supermarket, a nice taverna and a patisserie and that's about it. The beaches down south (Palm Beach and Plakias) are not crowded and have a gentle, laid-back atmosphere that remind me of days of old.
Olga is a wonderful host and deserves to be crowned Super Host par excellence. She was always helpful and incredibly generous. Each morning we would wake up to the most delicious home cooked breakfast treats and, on two occasions, even dinner! None of this was mentioned to us when we booked so it came as a complete surprise. Thank you Olga, you made our visit very special. Thoroughly recommend.
