The pictures don't lie - the villa is as beautiful as it looks!!! It's located on the top of the mountain in a small village. We already miss the calm and relaxing atmosphere of this place! There is an outside seating area - perfect for gathering over a cup of Greek coffee or dinner. The villa is renovated with an excellent taste - makes you getting a feel of old Cretan times! The house didn't miss a single thing. We have to mention the pool area which is extraordinary! The drive to closest beach is very short - around 10 min. It's called Kalivaki and is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen! The people in the local village are very kind and welcoming. We went to a tavern next doors for a delicious home-made dinner - worth trying! The villa is located in central position - in between Chania and Rethymno - two destinations important to visit! Manolis is a perfect host! He is extremely kind, helpful and service minded. During our stay he was coming every other day to clean the pool and was always available to give help or advice when needed. Moreover he provided us with local products such as delicious sheep yogurt, fruits and cookies!!! He recommended us to experience different things on Crete, which was a huge help! Manolis is an incredible host and made us feel at home at his villa. Thanks to Manolis and his beautiful villa we had an unforgettable holiday and we are definietely coming back!!!
