"We were the first booking for the season, so felt like we had a the whole place to ourselves. The property, and our villa, were incredible and the views out to the ocean were amazing. Loved our villa and was perfect size for our family. Appreciated the fresh fruit. Our host was there to greet us and communication throughout our entire stay was excellent. The property is beautiful, and it felt so relaxing to enjoy the sun in the Cretan hillside. Only wished we stayed longer!"

8/10 Good
"The place had creative design features and was quite comfortable, but did lack a few details, for example: no coffee or tea, minimal utensils, no broom or tea towels, only narrow thin light blankets, very little space for food prep. "
