Guest comments
Hi Alison,
Just had to drop you a line to say that the holiday was wonderful, just what we needed.
Your villa is extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for going down to Plaka for the delicious meals at the tavernas! Can't believe the generosity of the portions and such good value.
The views from the balcony/patios were lovely too.
We enjoyed walking around the area, up to Kokino Chorio, Kambia etc. We had a lovely drive to Vamos and stopped in a few places on the way. Chania is beautiful and Rethymno lovely too. We did the history trip to Knossos and Paestos which were very interesting.
All in all we had a wonderful time and are most grateful to our friend Alan, for the recommendation. We were glad to have chosen that particular fortnight as opposed to later in the year as the temperature was hotting up well in the 2nd week!
Wishing you all the best with future lettings of your lovely comfortable villa.
