Andreas made our stay in Crete warm and welcoming from our arrival to our departure. We were greeted with local products and homemade Raki.
The villa is an oasis of peace in a very green area of the island. The house provides everything, including a huge grill for barbecue and a wonderful pool. It also has a charming historical character making you feel part of the local history.
In the area, there are several small villages, very characteristic, with nice restaurants and small grocery shops with everything you need. Just 3 mins drive there is an amazing small restaurant in Maza or a bit further many other great options in Vryses.
If you want to explore by car, the villa is in a great position not far from the main road running along the North coast but also close to a road going to the South. For this reason, you can easily reach Chania (40 mins), Rethymnos (35 mins), Imbros gorge (25 mins). For the sea, you can reach the beaches on the North coast (Koutalas/Omprogialos/Petres 30 mins, Akrotiri 40/45 mins), but also those on the South coast (Frangokastello, Hora Sfakion in 1h) and even on the West coast (Falasarna 1h20m, Balos or Elafonissi 1h45m/2h).
I had an amazing and relaxing time at FilippouVilla and I would definitely go there again in the future to enjoy the peace and the quiet of this little corner of Crete.
