Wow. A sensational week for the 7 of us at the Villa Elizabeth view.
The space is perfect for a group of our size and the lovely modern pool area was where we spent most of our time. In the evenings we all sat round on the balcony and enjoyed the lovely views. The Villa is modern and kept super-clean by Elizabeth, Marianna and their team
The accommodation was exactly what we were after and is within a short cab ride of Platanias.
What made this holiday though was the effort that our hosts went to throughout the stay, and even before our actual week. Always super-quick to answer emails before we arrived and the (free) transfers were there to meet us when we landed.
Marianna was always only a text away and ended up arranging all our cab journeys as well as taking us to the supermarket more than once. On top of that, there is loads of info and brochures at the Villa and Marianna was always happy to recommend places to go. It's great to have helpful local knowledge when visiting for the first time.
Her and Elizabeth also paid for transport on one of our days out. I've never had that with Airbnb before! They also dropped by a couple of times with snacks!
The food in Crete was wonderful. Our favourite was the local taverna which is writhing walking distance of the Villa . Family-run and super-friendly with gorgeous home-cooked food from a menu written that morning. Perfect.
This was exactly the holiday we were after. You may be able to get somewhere a little bit cheaper, but for us, this experience was worth every penny.
If we were to visit again, there is no question where we would go.
Marianna, Elizabeth, thanks for a great week. You deserve every success with Villa Elizabeth view.
