The Villa is absolutely amazing. It looks brand new (I think it might be). The finishes are to the highest standard. Beds were comfy, showers were amazing. The view is simply spectacular. Communications before arriving were great. Yannis & Emmanuel has so many tips and recommendations. And once we were there we had all the support from the owner. She was so sweet and helpful, made our stay so special. We had local sweets and local bottle of wine and olive oil waiting for us. As well as local Raki ! We definitely wanted to stay for longer ! We were perhaps worried about neighbours, but they were a non-issue. There are privacy screens and you never see your neighbours, you can just hear them some times. We would definitely recommend this Villa for a wonderful Cretan holiday. Falasarna beach is gorgeous, so many shades of turquoise we couldn't believe it ! It is a bit cold, but still enjoyable. And you can walk down to the beach from the Villa. You definitely need a car and since the road is not paved, ideally not a super tiny car like the one we rented :) There are great restaurants and supermarkets near by. The Villa faces west so you have the most amazing sunsets every day. But that also means the sun comes into the Villa in the afternoon and it can get very hot, so some days we had to turn the AC on, which would normally not be our preference. But this did not negatively impact our stay in any way. These are only recommendations, they didn't affect our stay at all. Some appliances could do with instructions, like the washing machine is all in Greek. Or the oven we struggled to turn on. The kitchen has the basics, we made with what we had, but it doesn't have every single utensil you might have in your own kitchen. We needed help to get the TV on, so maybe a guide for that would be useful too. The pool is 1,5 m deep, all of it. So for children or smaller people it can be a little tiring since you don't reach the floor, so have to be constantly moving to stay afloat. Overall we loved our stay, it was a perfect first trip to Crete. We definitely recommend it and can't wait to go back !
