What a wonderful AirBnB experience! Villa Katerina is even better than the pictures - large rooms, high ceilings, comfortable bedrooms and a beautiful view.
We visited off-season so didn’t get to enjoy the pool much, but it’s a gorgeous outdoor space, very well kept. The upstairs balcony was very sunny throughout the day and perfect for relaxing. There’s also a barbecue, which we made full use of.
Vasilis and Katerina are the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble! They organised a transfer from the airport and we arrived to fresh fruit and various goodies; when we asked about Netflix they delivered a Chromecast so we could watch; and on our last day Katerina arrived with some farewell gifts too! So kind, and they responded really quickly whenever we had questions.
Just note that you need to put the key card into the slot by the door for the electricity to work, and if you need more hot water you press the labelled button on the upstairs panel!
It was quiet when we visited, but we hugely recommend Leventis for delicious Cretan cuisine. It’s about 2km away, but if you walk (c.45mins) definitely take the main road route rather than the cross-country way!
We loved it here and would definitely come back, an excellent AirBnB experience. Highly recommended.
