We are on holiday for 10 days in Pendamodi. The Villa and the service was outstanding. We were with a total of 6 people ranging in age from 15-80. We rented a car via the owners (and the property management company) and it was very smooth. The house was immaculatey clean and during our stay was cleaned once and was extremely thorough. The beds were really comfortable. Air-conditioning was present in all bedrooms and living room and worked really well. Wifi worked well even well enough to stream formula one :). The pool was great for teenagers, for smaller children there is no shallow end. Pendamodi itself is a welcoming village and make sure to eat at Giorgos taverna. It is a 2 minute walk. A car is a must if you want to do any siteseeing. Heraklion is about 30 minute drive as well as the airport. for groceries we went into Gazi for a hypermarkt which is also about 25 minute drive. In the village lthere is a small general store for essentials and for bread. We would absolutely recommend this Villa and Pendamodi.
