For the past 12 years we have been vacationing in Europe and this is one of the top 3 villas we have stayed in. While it is a little difficult to find , the seclusion it offers is well worth it. The villa was modern , clean and had outstanding views of the sea from every room. The heated pool was wonderfull. Our young granddaughters and we adults enjoyed it all seven days we were there. While they did not have Netflix/HBO etc , they did have good internet , a good collection of DVDS.and multiple tvs . Each bedroom was spacious , had comfortable beds and balconies with outstanding views. The house had metal shutters that allowed everyone to sleep in. We had a minor problem caused by our own error which the manager corrected immediately. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal. You can dine inside , outside or on your own balcony. There are many nearby restaurants and one in Almyrida we loved enough to dine there 4 nights. Elia and Thyme - excellent service, great food every time and very affordable. We went to 4 outstanding beaches , not counting Almrida beach which was very nice. We went jet skiing on Georgioupolis and Falasarna beaches. We took the tour to Balos - TIP. do not take the tour that includes a bus trip there. too long - instead just drive to Kissamos and buy a boat ticket there. You can drive directly by car to the beach, but the road is really bad. Finally ,we drove to our favorite beach , Elafonissi , for a day on a warm pink tinted sand beach. All 5 beaches are sand beaches as opposed to pebbles/stones. The villa has a beautiful garden that invites you to sit and enjoy the views. We were always glad to return to the villa and relax. We drove to Chania our favorite town for shopping and dinner. This villa has it all , modern facilities , beautiful location and privacy.
