We had an amazing stay at Bella Vista! The apartment had an amazing view of the ocean and pool from the bed and balcony. We didn't end up using the pool much but the common space was lovely and spotless (as is the room). The apartments are located between Agios Nikalaos and Elounda. Efi had a lot of good suggestions for places around the area to eat/beach so a car is definitely recommended to get around to the Eastern and Southern coasts of the island. Voulisma beach is a great sandy beach (25 min drive away) and close to an amazing beach-side souvlaki place (Efi's recco). Overall, we would definitely recommend Bella Vista and were greatful for the hosts' hospitality!
