Our group of 6 stayed at Villa Hannah for a week and all were extremely happy with the overall experience. The view is spectacular, the pool was perfect, and the accommodations roomy and comfortable. It is certainly a great place to relax and use as a home base for exploring Crete.
Driving to the Pano Stalos villas, especially in the dark on our first night, was a bit of a daunting task given some of the steep inclines and tight turns, but we got familiar with the roads pretty quickly, and were happy that it was rare to meet another vehicle on the narrow parts.
The Airbnb web host, Fabio, was very helpful with information and tips and responding to questions prior to our arrival, as was David, the owner. The free downloadable "MyCreteGuide" was a great tip recommended by Fabio - I wish I had looked at it a lot sooner to get the most out of it.
The on-site hosts, Julian and Heidi, were wonderful, helpful, friendly and pleasant in all respects. Some little problems that arose during our stay were handled promptly. Julian cooked an outstanding Greek meal for 8 of us one evening for a very reasonable fee - we all loved it! This is not to be missed!
The volume of noise from the cicada's was surprising but we got used to them...just something to keep in mind should you visit in the summer.
Our only real disappointment was the lack of a good WiFi solution. You will either have to use your mobile phone's data roaming plan, or travel into town to a cafe or restaurant.
In summary, I would sincerely recommend Villa Hannah! It was indeed a very nice, memorable experience for our group!
