We did a road trip around crete in late april and this place could’ve been the best accommodation we had if it wasn’t for a few issues. Firstly when we arrived the pool was unusable as it hadn’t been chlorinated and we weren’t warned in advance. Thankfully we were given a 20 euro refund for this which we thought was fair. The hosts also made a big effort to rectify it and we were able to use the pool 24hrs after arrival. We also found as other reviewers have said the bed was very uncomfortable, and there are no blackout blinds and the outdoor lights are left on all night meaning the room is very bright for sleeping. These 2 things meant that me and my partner got a very bad nights sleep. As she is 7 months months pregnant this sleep was important so we cut our stay short leaving a day early and losing the money we paid for the 2nd nights stay.
However, if they were able to improve the bed and blinds or this wasn’t an issue for the guest then i genuinely think this could be one of the best places to stay in crete. The property is beautiful and very well kept, the view from the pool is outstanding, the area is peaceful and remote. The hosts are also very kind and accommodating with lots of recommendations of things to do and places to stay.
I would recommend new mattresses and blinds and you will have a 5* villa !
