Yana and Petros were amazing hosts. Mama la Roosa is more beautiful than any picture can capture. The views, the pool, the living space, the outdoor space - simply everything was beyond perfection.
Yana responded quickly to all inquiries and was very flexible with checking in when our incoming flight was delayed. Checking out was also a breeze and was on our timetable. Petros went above and beyond in securing dinner reservations, ATV rentals, and a private boat rental. I've never been so impressed with the level of hospitality and focus on making sure our trip was a success. Anything we needed was but a WhatsApp message away.
The villa itself is a quick 10 minute drive to the nearby village - Agia Pelagia - which offers a host of restaurants and bars on the beach. This is also where we rented the ATVs and boat - super simple process with the help of Petros. It's a bit more of a trek into Heraklion (25 minute drive) where the nightlife is more vibrant, but Petros was more than happy to arrange for a taxi to pick us up and return us late into the evening (3AM).
I couldn't recommend Mama la Roosa more to anyone looking for a beautiful Cretan vacation. The villa was perfect, the location convenient, and the hospitality incredible. Don't hesitate - book this place now! I know I'll be returning soon.
