The villa and its location are absolutely fabulous, overlooking the bay of Iraklion and the surrounding hills. We loved the great sunsets and absolute privacy in this secluded spot, as well as the proximity and quick access to the airport, the city and the beach. To be honest, though, the big terrace with the lovely pool never made us wanting to leave the property at all. We especially loved the outdoor grill and the fantastic dinners we had in the evenings. The villa is furnished to the highest standard and the kitchen is equipped with all the amenities necessary. The house is big enough for everyone to have some privacy, too. Magdalena and her team made us feel very welcome right from the start. The booking process was super easy and once we arrived we were greeted with a welcome drink in the fridge and some fruits for a quick bite. Throughout our stay Magdalena responded super fast to help us out with tipps in the area and pointig us to the perfect grocery shopping at the local supermarkets. I can not recommend the villa and the host highly enough. We were a group of seven adults travelling, but it is a perfect get-away for families, too.
