Amazing!

Everything from check in to check out was perfect! The property Is beautiful and just like it's advertised. It feels secluded and like a private resort. The sunrise in the morning is worth waking up for everyday. We opted to heat the pool and enjoyed swimming every evening. The location is not close to much and a car is necessary but I'd absolutely stay here again! Note* if renting a manual car driving up the hill to the property the first one or 2 times takes some practice and is a little daunting. (We drove to heraklion, rythemno, knossis and to chania while staying here) but overall we loved our stay and the villa was great!
