    we stayed with the family for one week in the villa and had a great time. The villa is beautiful, the house was very clean, nicely furnished and the view was stunning! The Wifi did not work very well so we used our mobile hotspot. The pool is fantastic and the kids spent most of the day in it.. the villa is much nicer than on the images! We will definetly come back.

    After a week in and around Athens, this villa was exactly what the doctor ordered! The perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Crete. Everything was as described or better. The villa was in immaculate shape, perfectly clean, and equipped with everything we needed to make our trip spectacular. I’m not sure when we will get back to Crete but I definitely know where we will stay when we do!
