We had a wonderful holiday in the excellent villa in October. Mariyanna is a perfect host, making us feel extremely welcome and introducing us to the best attractions in the region (try Agiofaraggo beach and canyon if you don't mind a bit or hair-raising driving).The villa is clean, spacious and has pretty much everything that you could want, including a lovely big outside area and pool with views over the mountains that have to be seen to be believed. You can even just about make out the ancient Minoan Palace of Phaistos, which is also really worth seeing and within walking distance.We loved staying here and can very much recommend to others.

The host was extraordinarily nice and gave us great recommendations for both beaches and restaurants. We can recommend a trip to Matala, Kokkinos Pyrgos beach (nice sandy beach for children) and food at the local restaurant Loggia and pizzeria Ariadni :-)

It has a lovely terrace and pool, and the rooms are spacious and cool. Several tavernas are within easy walking distance. This is a lovely part of Crete with no ugly, high-rise mass market tourist development and numerous gorgeous beaches a short drive away. Not to be missed is the Agiofarago gorge and beach at its end, so long as you can cope with a somewhat rugged dirt road. Nearby Mires has many good food shops, including an excellent fishmonger. There is a barbecue at the villa - perfect for grilling its produce.

Communication with Maria Ioanna and her husband Kostas was always straightforward, quick and friendly. The house is as described, has some sea view and a great mountain view. The pool was still a bit cool at the end of April but already prepared for us. Within 10 minutes by car you can reach many taverns and the shops in Tympaki (good, traditional baker just behind the entrance to the village). In Mires there are even more shops and butchers with dry aged Cretean Black Angus that can be prepared well on the in-house grill (with a little patience until the charcoal glows). If you are looking for relaxation in the countryside, like to buy local products and also like to barbecue yourself, this is the place to be.
