Perfect family holiday at Villa Arialkis – wonderful host, fantastic heated pool!We spent an unforgettable family holiday at Villa Arialkis and can recommend it wholeheartedly. The house is ideal for families: spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished, with stunning views over the olive groves, the sea and the mountains. The highlight for all of us was the heated infinity pool – the kids hardly wanted to get out. The BBQ area under the pergola was perfect for long evenings and amazing sunsets.Our host Panagiotis is outstanding. He is extremely kind, warm and helpful, always available when we had a question and full of great tips for exploring the area. You can tell how much he loves Crete and enjoys sharing it with his guests.The location is an excellent base for discovering western Crete. From the villa we made several wonderful day trips: the breathtaking Balos Lagoon, the famous pink sands of Elafonisi Beach, and beautiful hikes in the mountains. Coming back to the villa and jumping into the warm pool after a long day out was the perfect end to every trip.Thank you, Panagiotis, for making our stay so special – we would love to come back!
