WOW, what can I say!
I travel a lot, and I'm yet to come across a villa stay more perfect than what Maria created for us. It was perfect from beginning to end, made beautiful and special by all of Maria's unique touches that helped our holiday home feel like home!
Maria welcomed us with a tour of the villa, along with a delicious homemade cake by her mum, and a fully stocked fridge which was particularly ideal considering our late arrival - hydration & next morning's breakfast was made so easy! This included: Edam cheese, ham, bread, butter, jam, mixed salad items, mixed fruits, sweets, a bottle of wine, raki, milk, juices, water, and more! Not forgetting her homemade organic olive oil and honey.. what an absolute treat!
Maria provided us with lots of restaurant and activity recommendations, and was warm, welcoming, and easy to contact throughout our entire stay! The villa itself was very clean, and spacious has a fantastic BBQ area and private pool - even larger than the photos show, and all the amenities you could need.
The location was great too - only a 20min drive from the old town (you definitely need a car in Crete!) and a local delicious Greek restaurant for meat lovers called 'Mastrapas' with LIVE music.
Maria went above and beyond to be the hostess with the mostess by arranging a wonderful home-cooked dinner for us one of our evenings.
Even after we left, Maria checked in to ensure everything went okay with our return home. She honestly treated us like family 🥰 I could not recommend this villa more, and would return in a heartbeat. An unforgettable experience!
