Villa Sofi is a great place to stay on Crete! A lovely location in a small, quiet village but still very close to larger towns full of cafes, tavernas and shops. Only 40mins to an hour drive to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The house has a quirky interior, full of trinkets and decorations and very homely! We loved the roof terrace for morning coffee. There is loads of space and it would especially suit a family with young children as the kids' bedroom is really cute! Kitchen was equipped with everything you could ever need.

Sofia is a wonderful host, very helpful with many excellent recommendations. She welcomed us with a fresh cake, biscuits plus many homemade goodies and wine from their own vines. We loved the honey raki and preserved figs!

Sofia even popped over one evening with some dessert after her daughters birthday. A truly gracious and caring host!

There was so much to do in the area that we ran out of time! Please make sure you stay here longer than we did, you won't want to leave!
