The villa is located in a sort of private street of AirBnB villas all operated by the same owner. The reception was very friendly and our host, Eliza, was extremely forthcoming with tips and hints about activities for our family, communication was always great. We were even provided a comprehensive pamphlet with information about the village and the area. The suggested trip to the Iraklio Farmer's Market was a smash hit for the whole family and totally worth it!
The villa is great and offers all amenities we could wish for. The pool is perfectly clean, really big and was a blast to play in (kids) or lounge around (parents). The garden was well kept, including a plum and lemon tree to pick from and a small herb garden.
The villa is located ~25min outside Iraklio, ~50min away from the CretAquarium and 30min away from Watercity. Do not trust Google Maps! If it sends you on a dirt road: Do not take it, there are plenty of "real" asphalt roads that lead to the villa and back :-D
There is a small tavern and a mini market 2 min by foot.
Only caveat: The beds are "Cretan-sized", so if you're >180cm you might have to curl up a bit :-D
That being said: Perfect house, perfect hosts. Heavily recommended!
