The villa is absolutely beautiful. The rooms, the outside, the plants, everything is terrific. The host especially was so nice, and when introducing us to the place she gave us a very thorough explanation of the island. Driving really wasn’t bad, I enjoyed the mountain roads and the tiny cars, and I don’t know if there really is any other way to get around. The beach in Almyrida was also great, about a ten minute drive. The only negative I would mention is the number of bugs. There is a room with a net, but they collected inside. It was more of a minor annoyance considering how great the villa is, but I felt like I should mention it. I would definitely stay here again when I make my way back to Crete.
