This is a beautiful place with a majestic view. The villa has been modernized, but the owner has done a wonderful job meticulously maintaining the original structural charm and integrity. It is absolutely beautiful while being very comfortable. The restaurant right across the street is very convenient. The place nicely housed my family of six…and the two full bathrooms was a plus. We particular loved the upstairs patio. The location is best for visitors seeking an authentic Cretean village experience, but the location is a nice staging area to Sougia, Palaiochora, and Samarian Gorge. Effie was a wonderful hosts. We loved our stay!
