Four of us (my sister, brother-in-law, my husband & myself) had a lovely relaxing time at this beautiful Villa. If you like a quiet place to stay, then this is definitely it! The tinkling sound of a few distant sheep bells from the hills is wonderful.
Esther and Dimitris were excellent & very kind hosts. They were happy to help with any requests. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with the thoughtful goodies (milk, bread, orange juice, eggs, tomatoes and a local olive oil)
We did find the mattresses to be extremely firm, so E&D kindly supplied two soft mattress toppers, which made sleeping a lot more comfortable. They also supplied a new hairdryer as there wasn’t one to be found.
The kitchen is separate to the rest of the house and can only be accessed by external stairs. This wasn’t a problem as early risers didn’t disturb others in the house.
The internet is 4g Mobile - it was a little slow at times, but sufficient as long as you don’t download anything.
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t hot enough for much swimming in the sparkling pool....but we did manage a couple of quick dips. We also cooked a couple of meals on the fabulous BBQ.
The ‘Faragi Taverna’ is only 200mtrs down they road. They make delicious Cretan food and serve local wine. We went there most afternoons. Watch out for the homemade Raki they serve as a welcome, it is a potent brew! The rose flavoured Raki at the end is lovely.
We thoroughly enjoyed a much slower pace of life for two weeks in this delightful village and the ‘Villa’ was amazing.
