We rented the villa for almost two weeks. My first impression was that the online photos were so exact to the reality that I did not need to take pictures. Impeccable surroundings, exceptional views, clean and fresh environment. The owners were very courteous during the booking process and our stay--conscious of attending to any possible needs (refreshing linens, cleaning pool) while not interfering with our vacation. The house is very well laid out with privacy for all bedrooms. Kitchen is stocked well and all appliances work well. Bathrooms are well appointed and offer plenty of instant hot water, which is not always the case in local homes, so I am noting it. The AC system and the huge windows kept us very comfortable in the Cretan sun, day or night. The porch and the pool were cool sanctuaries, as were the many sitting vignettes in the garden and pool area--oh how I will miss that poolside rest area! In terms of location; if you have kids/adolescents, Watercity is close by. For those interested in antiquities, sight seeing, or shopping, Anopolis and the villa are centrally located in Crete; so either eastern or western destinations on the island (Chania, Rethymno, Aghios Nikolaos) are equidistant and easily reached. For evening activities, we went to Kokkini Chani, Stalida, Gouves, Heraklion--all close by. In a few words-flawless stay! Thank you Lisa and family for framing our Cretan vacation in such dependable, comfortable, and natural serenity!
