Everything in the villa was as advertised, exceptionally clean, and to a high spec. The location is excellent, with a 10 minute drive to Rethymno (park at the main port as its cheap, 24 hours and an easy walk to the old town) and although we didn’t use it, noticed there’s also a bus service that runs through Adele. With a car, the villa is about an hour to Heraklion to the East, the same to Chania to the West and about the same, over the mountains to the South coast. A great location for exploring the island.
The housekeeping service was brilliant with more new towels and clean bed linen provided during our stay and the pool was cleaned so it remained spotless.
The layout of the villa is really good with two decent sized balconies where we spent some warm evenings having a few drinks and leaving us with good memories. There are other villas either side which was a slight concern when we booked, thinking we may be overlooked, but that was never an issue and there was more than enough privacy.
The beds as other reviews have mentioned were a bit on the hard side, but there is a notice on the table advising mattress toppers can be provided. Even without the toppers, not an issue and if anything, did my back the world of good.
Communication before and during our stay was really good and left no worries about our stay.
Would I book the villa again if coming back to Crete, simple answer is yes. Bessie’s dream villa ticked all the boxes and is an ideal base for your holida
