We really enjoyed our stay in Elizabeth's villa. It's spacious, luxurious and really clean, and the bedrooms have AC. The pool area and the garden is what makes it really special. After a hot cretan day, walking a gorge or visiting Knosos, or even the beach, it's nice to cool down in the pool, and watch the moon rise. The pool is regurlarly looked after, and a cleaner comes by the house a couple of times a week. The villa is situated in a small village, and you'll need to rent a car. The local beach is really nice when the sea is rogh - it's sheltered and you can swim there when the other beaches are closed. We also recommend the local restaurant Staras. They have a passion for cretan food, everything is really tasty.
