If you're looking for a nice accommodation in Crete, look no further. We spent 10 days at Fos Villa in September 2020 and it actually exceeded our expectations by far. First of all the house itself is beautifully designed and furnished. We were travelling with five adults and one infant and needed a place that provided enough space and separate bedrooms and bathrooms so everyone could enjoy some privacy. Due to the clever way the house is built, we could have easily fitted four more people in there and it still wouldn't have felt too crowded. The exterior has a great heated pool that is a lot bigger than the photos indicate and a lovely little dining area with a grill for those who are into barbecues. Fos Villa is situated in a quiet village not far from the sea (there is a view of it in the distance). If you have a rental car, it's no more than five minutes to the city centre or the beach. Some of us cycled there, which is easy enough as well.
What cannot be stressed enough is the amazing hospitality shown by Kostas and Christina, who truly deserve to be called super hosts. When we arrived they welcomed us and gave us a brief introduction. Also they had prepared some snacks that we appreciated a lot after our journey. We got loads of tips concerning restaurants, supermarkets etc., which was obviously quite helpful. Whenever we needed something, we could get in touch with them and they sorted it out with a smile on their face. We even received some treats like a chocolate cake or a book as a farewell gift for our son. We sincerely recommend you pick this as your temporary Cretan home.
