We had a great 2 week holiday and would definitely love to return to this villa. Beautiful house in a small Cretan village (fresh bread from the lady down the road not to be missed) and the most amazing hosts who were friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. The location was perfect for us - a place that allowed us to experience 'real Crete' whilst being a short (10 min) drive to the nearest town for supermarkets etc and 30 mins from the coast. The private pool was big enough/deep enough for our teenagers to lark around but also had a shallow bit at one end for younger kids. The linen was changed and the villa cleaned every few days which was a real treat. Highly recommended.

First of all, the Villa owner is very kind, second that is the private pool, also a lot of space in the villa are important. Nice neighbors who are very welcoming and responsive, with them we spent a very pleasant evening :) Very quiet area, far from civilization. From the front side balcony a nice view of the mountains and a small church which is located directly opposite the villa. When we had any needs, the owner responded almost immediately and delivered all stuff, which we were looking for, to the Villa. We had a late arrival time, and we had no chance to buy some food and we asked the owner to buy some food for us and as result we got the required food as gift from the owner, It was a really pleasant surprise :) The rain :( , but that wasn't Your fault :)) That was a good experience to deal with You :)) A special thanks from us to the pretty agent Matilda, from thehotel.gr, as I realized she is a very sincere person. During the time of stay, we had a one stormy day with a heavy rain, what are unusual in September, the staff of thehotel.gr contacted with us and asked is everything ok or maybe any help is needed :) That was unexpectedly and nice to know that someone took care about us.

By staying at the Villa Local you got a true authentic Creatian experience. Our Host and his family were very accommodating and helpful to us. The people in the village of Defnedas were very nice to my family and me. The local bakery about a 100 yards from the villa where you can buy fresh bread and cookies. The local Gas station also serves Greek coffee and ice cream, the owner George and his mother were helpful to us. The village of Parama was about 6 km fro the Villa it had a butcher shop and a nice bakery shop where we purchased a nice fresh birthday cake. The town of Panorma is about 15 km from the Villa Local and it is a must see! It has a nice sandy beach and beautiful taverns and gift shops. We purchased some nice wine and other natural products from Irena's and Manues "Bio-Shop" All the local taverns were good but the "Nickitas Bar" in Panorma was very special place to visit. Villa Local as a base was excellent it was close to the main highway and yet far enough away to give you feeling of being in a Crete village! We cannot think of many disadvantages but the pluming could be better. If you are looking for a night life it is not here. It is peace and quet or noise of your own making. The host and his family were very kind to my family and me. We had dinner one night with the host and his family at his resort Stone Village in Bali and it was beautiful! Any problems we had the host and his son took care of them ASAP. Over all it was a great vacation! What you see in the pictures is wat you get!

The house is as described ..there are no hidden flaws. The rooms are comfortable and spacious and they all have view either to the pool or to the forest around the house. The house is fully equipped and has a minimal decoration and there are a lot of rest areas near the pool , the bbq and in every balcony. The owner was discreet , polite and cooperative . The whole village as well as the owner himself were quite friendly and showed great hospitality. The village the villa is situated is small and beautiful and not far from the main road. Two facts troubled us. Firstly that the road leading there was quite difficult to cross, especially at night and secondly that due to the forest the temperature fell to low levels from five pm and it prevented us from enjoying the pool in the afternoon. all in all it's a great choice either for summer or winter vacation for a numerous family or a numerous company.
