Two families, 4 adults & 4 children – 11, 12, 2x15, fit comfortably in the 5 bedroms Greeted by polite and informative rep. Pool is great, 1.5m max depth. Pool area very slippery though. BBQ is outdoor dining area is really nice (firelighters essential!). The kitchen has pretty much everything you could need, except a vacuum cleaner. Ants can be a problem if you leave food out. TV is internet only, so prob best to take HDMI cable with your laptop. Collection trash cart is just outside the property. Sissi is very much a lovely quiet town. Everyone we met and spoke with in Sissi were very friendly and spoke enough English to not have any issues. The central part of town is a ~10 min walk away where there are two small supermarkets, plus some bars and restaurants. We stayed at the villa for 10 nights and found everything we needed in these supermarkets, not needing to travel further for supplies. The nicest part of the town is the port area, which is a ~15min walk away and packed with bars and restaurants. We dined at Queen’s Lounge, Ormos Café, Plori, Paradise Cove & Kyma. All were very good. Crete general comments. These have been separated out because they have nothing to do with the villa but may be useful information for people considering a stay on Crete. The plumbing is not great (the pipes are very narrow), so no one flushes toilet paper, instead every bathroom has a bin. Visitors are advised not to drink the local water.

We had a great week in this villa, it’s lovely and modern and has everything you need, it’s spacious and has a great outdoor pool. It’s close to the harbour easily within walking distance, loved it, didn’t want to leave!
