Spacious well equipped villa
Spacious villa in a nice quiet location. 5 minutes walk to local taverna and 5 minutes drive to local beach. Great range of drinks and food provided for arrival in a well equipped kitchen. Lots of hot water and comfortable beds. Additional cot was asked for and delivered within a few hours; great service from the owner.

Erholung pur
Die Villa ist perfekt ausgestattet und liegt ruhig und zentral im mittleren Teil von Kreta, so dass von hier aus alle Ausflüge unternommen werden können. Die Gastgeberin hat uns mit einem gefüllten Kühlschrank überrascht und war auch bei verschiedenen technischen Schwierigkeiten (nicht funktionierende Klimaanlage in einem Schlafzimmer, verschmutzter Swimmingpool etc.) sofort zu erreichen. Alle Probleme wurden umgehend gelöst. Hervorzuheben sind auch die Ruhe und die großzügigen Platzverhältnisse des Hauses. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
