We had a very happy ten days at this beautiful villa. It’s well equipped, bigger and more spacious than it looks in the pictures and the view is spectacular. The terraces are wonderful for sitting and watching the sunset and then waking up to the sea.
There are two bedrooms one on the ground floor (lovely and cool) and one on the top floor (fab view) so it would be great for a family with older children - young ones might feel a bit far away. There are also a lot of steps and different levels in the villa.
Personally we didn’t find the local beach very attractive - it’s rocky and a narrow strip of sand. There are other lovely beaches a short drive away - we liked the one on the way to Rethymno about 12 minutes drive away.
A car is highly recommended to see more of the island.
Thank you to Lena who checked us in. She was very responsive and helpful.
