Fantastic spot! Regarding the apartment, it was super clean, cosy and beautifully arranged with all basic equipment, very good wifi reception and quiet environment. The garden and swimming pool are very nice and the view is absolutely breathtaking! Efi is an amazing host. We got warm apetizers on the first evening, and delicious pastries + presents just before we left. As a "crazy cat lady", I was thrilled to have the cats of the house to pet any time of the day, and it was quite delightful to just sit in the evening and watch them play and hang around. Watch out if you sleep with the shutters and windows open though, because they may pay you a visit during the night. :-) I didn't mind at all, they were all super affectionate. Bella Vista is heaven on earth in terms of location, arrangement/decoration and warm welcome. Thanks a lot to the the family for running this beautiful place and for making our week in Katsikia unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning holidays in the east of Crete!
