There is not much I can add to previous reviews, the villa is as described, located in wonderful rural area. After a week at this villa I know I will miss the peace of the private balcony with bells ringing in the hills (all of the goats wear bells that all have different tones). This private balcony is a gem: no one sees you, you can drink tea in your pajamas or watch the stars in the evening.
The villa is really clean, thumbs up to the cleaning personnel. We've seen many 4-star hotels that are not as clean as this villa. All the amenities are there, including filters for the coffee maker, a toaster etc etc. One of the bathrooms has a hydro massage shower (didn't use it, though, just used the regular shower)
The car is essential, but not necessarily a 4WD: we rented a small economy class car and got around perfectly well. I would rather say that a small car is a plus on these narrow winding roads. The place is a bit hard to find at first, so Manolis met us at the nearest gas station and showed us the way. A nice old couple lives nearby, which makes you feel like a local [farmer].
Falassarna beach is 20 minutes away, you can reach Balos without even driving out on the National Road. We also drove to Elafonisi, which took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
What is most important is that Manolis was very responsive, he promptly replied to our messages, and when the matter was urgent he sent me an answer within an hour. When you're staying in a remote area it is very important to feel that you're not left there on your own.
Manolis also gave us some recommendations about nearby taverns and shops, and we especially enjoyed the Gramvousa tavern in the nearby Kaliviani. Amazing food!
And last but not least: a barrel of great port wine in the kitchen!
