The villa was absolutely beautiful and the local area was amazing if you want to see the other side of Crete - untouched, very remote and beautiful, not touristy at all but still within driving distance of Gallini (20 mins) which has all the facilities you need. Amazing beaches. The only thing is that the south side of the island is very very windy - we had to be inside at times because it was too windy to be outside (good job the villa is stunning)!
