WOW! This villa new construction, super-modern amenities...yet still blends perfectly into the ancient village, Much larger than it might look in photos too. It has GREAT, all-new mattresses (important!!), FIVE A/C units (!), expresso, drip AND Greek coffee makers. Washing machine...comfy sofas...we literally couldn't have asked for more.
Anastasia, the host, and her adult daughters were incredibly warm, giving and informative...KILLER gift basket. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, with amazing vistas everywhere you turn...but also in the middle of everything (Heraklion, Rethymno) at the same time. 5 great tavernas within 5 min. drive, so you 're remote, but not TOO remote. Near Margarites, the pottery center, too...olive oil farms...wineries...THIS IS CRETE AT IT'S BEST
One warning, you really need a good car in crete; definitely an automatic transmission, preferably all-wheel drive & rugged...driving can be a challenge...but that's everywhere on the island, not just here
This property, and it's charming & warm hosts, made our visit to Crete unforgettable!
