We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa, which is perfectly located for exploring western Crete. Nestled among olive groves, it offers a real sense of privacy and tranquillity while being just a two-minute drive from the lively restaurants, shops, and atmosphere of Platanias.
The villa is exceptionally well equipped and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy. The garden is a particular highlight, filled with a variety of fruit trees and herbs that guests can enjoy during their stay. The pool and patio area are perfect for lounging, dining, and taking in the stunning panoramic views and spectacular sunsets, ideally with a glass of local rosé in hand.
What truly sets this property apart is its combination of seclusion and convenience. Turn left out of the driveway and the magnificent White Mountains are just 15-20 minutes away. Turn right and you'll find some of Crete's beautiful beaches, with the nearest only five minutes away and many of the island's best beaches within easy reach.
The villa is much bigger than the photos show and there is plenty of space for a large family. The grounds are large and beautifully presented. The villa itself has lots of little areas and things to enjoy, such as a hammock, table tennis, pool, dual balconies/patios to eat on and areas to seat and relax around the grounds.
The villa also benefits from a range of modern amenities, and the owner is both responsive and helpful, providing excellent support whenever questions arose.
Overall, this is an outstanding villa in a fantastic location, offering the perfect balance of relaxation, privacy, and easy access to everything western Crete has to offer. We would highly recommend it and would happily return.
Thank you Michael for a lovely stay.
