A few things to know about me. I stay in VRBO's 3 months a year. I rarely write reviews. I am very particular. This villa is so extraordinary I had to write about it. It is impeccably clean, it is well appointed with all you could need from the kitchen to the living areas. The patios and pool are spectacular. The location is perfect to see many areas of Crete easily. (I would recommend renting a car, the driving is very easy) One of the most amazing things are the hosts of this Villa. George, his mother Maria and George's sister, are kind, gracious, accommodating and at the same time give you plenty of space and privacy. I stayed for a month and had friends and family come and go during that time. In between our guests stays, the place was cleaned from top to bottom, sheets and towels changed. Maria made dinner for our groups 3 times and they were delicious and traditional greek fare. This is not a part time job for them, this is their job and no request was to big or small. From arranging transportation, to renting cars, making reservations, giving amazing recommendations to places away from the tourist traps. I fell in love with Crete as well as this remarkable family. I could go on and on, but I will end with saying if you are planning a trip to Crete, there is no better place then this villa and being cared for by this family.
