Sofia's home is a jewel in the Cretan mountains. It is just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures and was such a peaceful place to stay. Crete is such a vast island but in the 5 days we were there we managed to make it out to Elafonissi, Balos, Frangokastelo, Chania, Rethymno and Imbros Gorge. The villa was a lovely home to come back to each day as other reviews have mentioned, generously stocked and impeccably clean. I had underestimated the mountain chill in late October so it was not warm enough to use the heated pool, but I can imagine it would be cosy with the woodburner going, and it just means we will have to come back in summer to swim in the pool! I would recommend Villa Vrisali to anyone.
