We loved this Villa. Exactly as described and shown in the pictures. Tucked away in the quiet hills, surrounded by beautiful countryside and idyllic villages, but close enough (by car) to the hustle and bustle of the beaches and towns, such as Rethymno and Bali. It was perfect for our small children (3 and 4) with a small but perfectly sized pool and great garden completely enclosed. Allowing us to relax without worrying about where they may have wondered off too. The villa has all the amenities you need and is a renovated from a traditional village house, so gives it that unique and quintessential village style that we loved. Elias (Host) was spot on. We arrived in the middle of the night (4am) and he met us on the highway to guide us up the hill and straight to the door. Priceless when you have small kids arriving from a late night flight. He personally called in every 2 days to check on us and happy to say we needed nothing, as everything was already in place. There was also a small welcoming pack when we arrived (wine, fruit, bread etc.) which was also nice, especially as we haven't had a chance. So Elias definitely went above and beyond the expectation as a host.
