Oros Residence Villa (ORV) is an extraordinary place. The uniqueness lies in the fact that the house has everything a family needs on holiday and is extremely clean and well maintained. Filioppos is a lovely and very tactful host who takes care of the smallest detail of your stay giving lots of valuable advice and tips on places to visit or dining. Oros villa is an excellent starting point to visit the Cretan beaches, but also to spend your time actively e.g. cycling in the mountains or running (these activities are rather for advanced athletes). It is also an excellent place to relax from the crowds, people and everyday life and to settle down with a book in the garden. Worth mentioning is also the contact with Filippos, who is always available and responds very quickly to all requests. In summary - we spent a wonderful two weeks in which I did not miss anything. ORV is one of the best places booked through Airbnb. Filippos understands his role and mission as a host exceptionally well and knows like few others how to make sure his guests feel perfectly at home and that their time at spent ORV is one they will never forget.
