Manolis is a great host! The villa is perfectly located near small villages and lots of sandy beaches (e.g.Georgioupoli 7km, Amyrida 10km etc.). It stands in the middle of lovely and quiet village of Kalamitsi Alexandrou - just next door to village's only tavern (or kafenio) that serves simple but delicious cretan food. Tavern owner Manolis (other Manolis) provided us several wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners during our 2 week holiday and I have to say that his kind and friendly presence and excellent food is one of the top features of this place!
The private yard of the villa is perfect for dining together under the pergola covered with vines. There's also grill in the yard, big enough to cook for the whole bunch of us (7 adults and 4 children). Also there was room for our 3 small cars in front of the gate.
Private pool area is very nice too, it's actually much more attractive and verdant than in the photos. Actually the photos don't do justice to the place, it is really more picturesque and delightful than the pictures show.
Thank you Manolis for the wonderful holiday at the villa and thank you Manolis for the wonderful food at the tavern!
