Perfect holiday
From the description over the check in to maintenance and very kind and friendly support from Sonia (our son really liked her for being so nice) ist was all in all a perfect getaway. Location is a bit off the hot spots whats making it perfect for full relaxation. Rental car is a must. Nice beaches around the area (mainly stone beaches) but we even took the way to the southern beaches of crete plenty of times (45 minutes to Skinaria Beach which was perfect for snorkling and family beach day with an 7 year old). Can definitely recommend and we will come again one day. House/pool etc. are exactly like the pictures. Many thanks again to Sonia and the owners. Family Fendt

Villa agréable
Villa très propre et convient pour une famille avec 2 enfants. La vue est incroyablement belle et les couchers de soleil sont magnifiques. Une voiture est nécessaire car la villa est située en montagne mais elle est à courte distance de la côte et de supermarchés. La piscine n'est pas très grande mais appréciable avec une eau chaude. Très bon accueil avec Sonia et quelques provisions de bienvenue. Manque quelques ustensiles dans la cuisine. Nous avons passé un bon séjour !
