This villa is even better in real life than it is in the photos. The gardens and pool area are beautifully maintained with the most glorious views. We were a family of 3 adults and 3 children and the villa was perfect for all of us - it's extremely clean, very well looked after and has everything we needed including clean sheets and maid service. The location is wonderful - far enough away to feel secluded but 5 minutes from the villages of Almerida and Kalyves which both have brilliant beaches and tavernas.
Our holiday really exceeded expectations, we didn't expect to love Crete as much as we did. Highlights included the village of Gavalohri (the restaurant here is exceptional), Piperakis bakery in Almerida, Georgeopolis beach (SummerLand has free loungers for a drink) and a trip to Chania.
Penny is an exceptional host and met us late at night and was always on hand to answer texts and give us great recommendations. She left us the most delicious chocolate cake and really is a wonderful ambassador for the Crete. We can't wait to go back!
