Myself and my husband stayed here June/July 2022. For us it was ideal. Off the beaten track but easily accessible by car and only a few minutes drive to tavernas and shops. If taking children or elderly be aware there are a few steps to the villa and the pool area, and the pool is all one depth with no shallow end for young children. A car is recommended but I'm sure the local taxi service wouldn't be too expensive. A really relaxful environment and we shall definitely be returning.

The villa had everything a family needed and was spotless. The location was perfect for us, off the beaten track but just a short drive to amenities. The owner was very hospitable, friendly and really helpful on recommendations. We came home one evening to a typical Cretan meal his mother cooked which was delicious. I also had a surprise birthday cake from the owner which was a lovely touch. On arrival the fridge had the essentials needed which was very welcome. We travelled to the south of the Island which had much quieter and sandier beaches which we love however the trip to Balos beach and lagoon was totally breathtaking ( a word of warning- drive to Kissamos and then take the ferry from Kissamos! The drive into the mountain and car park was hair raising and pretty terrifying along with the 35 minute (min) descent and ascent walk back along a very rocky, and long pathway back up to the car was only something I will never want to do again!) We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The sunsets from each of our sun terraces of the villa were spectacular. Air conditioning was much needed and worked perfectly. Again, thank you to Ioannis for a great holiday .
