Location Overview :
Sugar Villa is located less than 5 minutes by car from Bali village and its sandy beach. Bali was a small fishing village, but over the years has become a charming touring village, overlooking the little fishing harbour and the sea. It is a very attractive and romantic place, combining sea and mountains. Life is easy going enjoying the sun and the clear calm sea at a number of sandy and shingly beaches. Bali is a modern seaside resort, which offers a large choice of taverns ,restaurants, a bakery, an ATM machine, super markets, a butchery and cheese shop, as well as a wide variety of little shops, diving school, bars and cafes.
Bali is accessible from any part of the island. It is ideal for family and romantic holidays. Bali has four beaches, which are formed in sandy coves with nice greenish waters. The beaches are almost always calm, since the direction of Bali is western. They all are suitable for children and well organised. Moreover, buses from Heraklion and Rethymnon run to Bali. Furthermore, from the local harbour, excursion boats run daily to Rethymnon. The passengers have the chance to admire a unique coastline with beautiful caves and rock formations.

Also Panormo, which is a friendly sea side village, is 15 minutes away by car and well known for its sandy beaches. The two main beaches are Limanaki and Limni. Both of them are sandy with clear blue water and ideal for kids, as they are shallow and well protected from winds. The beaches are organised and equipped with sun beds, umbrellas. Water sports are also available.
The village has all the facilities and amenities one would need : well-stocked mini-markets, post office, pharmacy, a doctor’s office, a butcher's shop, bakery (hot, fresh bread every morning from 9 am), various gift shops and traditional seaside shops at very reasonable prices.
Further, there is a good selection of cafes and excellent traditional tavernas, overlooking the harbour and the sea, which offer a warm welcome and a beautiful setting to enjoy some traditional Cretan food, fish as well as international dishes.

A lovely place but not quite as lovely as the pictures
The villa was in the end perfect for our family holiday, however we were disappointed to arrive to a villa which hadn’t been cleaned or stocked with essentials such as big bags, tea towels or beach towels properly. We had to contact the owner to clean the pool, outside seating and kitchen as these had not been done. We also had to mention broken chairs, broken life jackets and broken steps inside, along with sheets with holes as well. He did come and resolve these issues immediately. The villa is a great location and the pool was fabulous too. The connection with the filion hotel was a bonus as we could use their facilities as well. This villa is in need of a refresh to make it like the pictures and the reviews. Bali, Crete is a beautiful village too.

Wonderful break after months of lockdown
The villa, and whole holiday, was easily as good, or even better than we had hoped. It's located just a few minutes from the coast in a mountain setting with views out to the sea. The pool area is perfect for relaxing in the sun and we really had everything we needed. Ioanna couldn't have been more helpful. We didn't want to come home!

Set up in the hillside you need a car but worth the views We used the Fillion Suite for food/ drink and table tennis and this was a very pleasant bonus Walk into Bali is a fair stretch but taxi services available. Beaches in Bali really nice Villa was spacious and clean. The owner and Valia were really helpful and friendly definitely would recommend
