This is a luxurious home and would be perfect for a couple of families or couples to enjoy a break in. The interior is well designed and has a great kitchen with everything you would need, two inside dining areas and a very comfortable sitting area (which you don't always get with holiday lets) with Netflix. The exterior is a delight - a fabulous outside kitchen and dining area together with a lovely pool and areas to sunbathe or just sit and chat. Everything is new.
Communication with the host was very good and he came up with lots of suggestions for us - when we locked ourselves out of the house and set off the alarm someone was there to let us in within 5 minutes! There was a great welcome pack of wine, water, biscuits and honey.
Outside there is also a basketball hoop and sufficient area for a group to have a lot of fun.
The local town has a couple of supermarkets and butchers for all immediate needs. The property is also near some of the vineyards of the Heraklion area so a great base to visit those as well as visiting Knossos and beaches.
