The villa is spacious and exceptionally clean.
The outside areas are particularly great, plenty of places to sit outside. The pool is fabulous, very clean and private.
The gardens are beautiful with large bbq and pizza oven. There are fruit trees which you can collect fresh fruit from.
The kitchen has plenty of crockery, utensils etc. Having a dish washer and washing machine was essential for us as a party of 13 including 7 children.
Plenty of towels etc are provided (but bring your own to take to the beach or buy one in Bali where they are sold everywhere!)
You'll need to buy drinking water during your stay as the tap water is not recommended for drinking but several bottles were provided on our arrival.
Also when we arrived we were gifted fresh fruit, hand made pastries (so delicious) and a bottle of olive oil, one of wine and one of raki. Part way through our stay the owbers brought us grapes and also homemade spanakopita (which was also delicious).
We felt so welcomed and the hosts were very happy to help with anything we asked.
We had hire cars but the villa is walkable distance from Bali, and the road train stops not far down the hill so I would still stay at Villa Aleva without a car.
With 7 children playing in the pool I worried we were a bit loud but the owners (who live next door) were very patient with the children and we always felt welcome and never felt the owners being so close was intrusive either.
The guest book they keep at the Villa says it all, so many lovely thank you notes.
I would not hesitate to return to Villa Aleva and to Crete (in fact I wish I were still there!)
