Beautiful villa, beautiful location
We spent a wonderful 10 days at this Villa with extended family and children aged between 10 and 17. The location of the villa is excellent and it really is just a stones throw to the little beach and a 5 minute drive into Plakias (for supermarket, tavernas, shops etc). It can get very windy on the nearest big beaches like Sousa and Plakias but the little beach nearest the villa was sheltered and always protected by the wind. It’s definitely a different ‘feel’ to Crete in the South to the North - much quieter and less tourists, but it’s only a 40 minute drive to Rethymno in the North if you fancy a bit more shopping/ water activities one day. The Villa was beautifully decorated with wonderful views and very well equipped. Just a note - we had 2 wild cats that seemed used to living in the outdoor kitchen and had obviously been fed by people before us…..fine if you like cats but just to note if you don’t!

Phenomenal villa vacay
The villa was even better in person which is rarely the case. The property managers were very responsive to our requests (ice cube trays for example) and even provided some groceries on arrival. Everything worked well, everyone had plenty of space, and it was a good value for the price. Definitely no need to have the pool heated in June or any summer months. Southern Crete is rugged and beautiful (and windy) with plenty of beaches for the little kids, snorkeling opportunities, interesting hikes and mountain villages and monasteries to explore. My only complaint was with the villa's concierge service, you'll get better value looking elsewhere for booking massages, finding boats, etc.

Wirklich schön, aber nicht mit 12 Erwachsenen
Wunderbare Lage, die Gemeinschaftsräume sind hochwertig und edel eingerichtet. Leider sind die Zimmer in der Mitte viel zu klein, es gibt keine Ablagemöglichkeiten, was in dieser Preiskategorie so nicht sein sollte. Das bezieht sich auch auf das gemeinsame Minibad, das für 4 Erwachsene eine einzige Katastrophe ist. Leider hatten wir auch ungebetene Gäste im Haus, die auch den Jakuzzi benutzten. Die Reinigung des wunderschönen Außenbereiches ließ auch zu wünschen übrig, Mäusereste der Katzen wurden nicht zufriedenstellend beseitigt.
