Clean, cosy and adequate

The bed in the northeastern part on the ground floor needs to either repaired or replaced. As long as you make a tiny movement it squeaks very loud and really disturbs your sleep

Nice villa

10.0

There all you need. Nice pool and view. Comfortable and you can get assitance from the owner all the time.

In the toilet and shower room could be more lighting. Mosquito net is required at least in bedrooms.

Exceptional

10.0

Cozy and well equiped villa located in quiet place in small village. There are some taverns and small shop in walking distance, less than 1 km. But of course to explore Crete island you need a car.

Poor lighting system in both bathrooms and at kitchen working desk.

Very good

8.0

The villa was very comfortable and in a quiet location, within close walking distance of village with tavernas and shop. The pool was lovely and the views were great. Owner was very easy to contact and responded promptly with any queries. The area is great for walking, local tavernas are very good and the village shop has all the basics. A bigger village with other shops, cafes etc. is within a shortish walk or drive.

The lighting in the kitchen could be improved. No air conditioning in downstairs living area, which would've fine had windows had insect mesh on them.
