This is a very good base for the beaches in the south of Crete. The owner and host is excellent, providing an excellent level of service and attention to detail with a personal touch little matched elsewhere.
From the breakfast, which is individually prepared, to the personal interaction and laid back approach, it all lends itself to a relaxing holiday.
The villa was recently built, and to a very high standard. It's an easy walk to the local beach, but I had hired a car and was interested in experiencing several of the local beaches. There are several within an easy drive of the villa, although some of the Cretan roads provide an element of excitement.
With only a week on the island I wished I'd had more time to simply stay at the villa and spend the day round the pool.
