Getting Around: Everything you need—**mini market, bakery, pharmacy, and more**—is just a 2 to 5-minute walk from the villa.
The center of Chersonissos is also easily accessible: - A 15-minute downhill walk will take you to the heart of the town. - A quick taxi ride costs approximately 6€.
However, renting a car is highly recommended if you plan to explore beyond the immediate area. Public transportation can be inconvenient for larger groups, and distances in Crete are significant.
Other Things to Note: Although we love children, the villa may not be suitable for infants, as it does not have specific safety features designed for them.
Additionally, the house is equipped with central heating, making it a comfortable choice year-round, even for a winter stay.
Interaction with Guests: Although I am not often on-site as I live and work in Athens, a wonderful middle-aged couple of housekeepers resides in a separate, off-limits apartment within the property. They are responsible for daily maintenance, ensuring everything is in top condition.
Their presence is very discreet, as they primarily work early in the morning to take care of the **property, pool cleaning, general maintenance, and garden watering**. However, they are always available if you need any **assistance, service, or local information** during your stay.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.
