We had a fantastic stay at Dimitri's and Barbara's stunning home! Dimitri and Barbara made us feel very welcome and looked after us superbly from the start, meeting us on arrival in the early hours of the morning with an amazing array of home cooked food! The fridge and freezer was groaning with food and drinks too, so we didn't need to see a supermarket for several days! Bliss!
This high level of attentiveness and generosity continued throughout our whole stay with Barbara delivering more of her fabulous home made food and cakes from the region for us to try, every third day, when she dropped Katerina, the cleaner, off at the house. All delicious!!
Dimitris made us feel very relaxed in the knowledge that he was available at the other end of the phone any time of the day or night and was more than happy to answer any questions we had, however trivial and with great humour! This was our first time in Crete and Dimitris was great at suggesting places for us to visit accompanied by detailed directions on google maps!
Villa Barbara is absolutely stunning! The photographs don't do it justice. The house is beautifully furnished and is immaculate. Cleaned for two hours every three days including bed linen and towel change too. The large pool is beautiful and has the best filtering system I have ever seen as somehow it manages to remain amazingly clean between the bi- weekly visits from the pool man!
Then, last but definitely not least is that amazing view!! We sat for hours every day and night just looking at the stunning scenery, and watching the boats sailing into Souda Bay. We never tired of looking at this view, the amazingly blue colour of the sea and the contrast of the dramatic mountains on the other side of the bay is so beautiful, we had to drag ourselves away when we realised we should probably see more of the island!!
Thank you Dimitris and Barbara for being such great hosts and we hope to visit you again one day!

Dimitris is available at all times if you need him, with great ideas for places to visit.
