A relaxing villa with a beautiful view!
After a week in and around Athens, this villa was exactly what the doctor ordered! The perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Crete. Everything was as described or better. The villa was in immaculate shape, perfectly clean, and equipped with everything we needed to make our trip spectacular. I’m not sure when we will get back to Crete but I definitely know where we will stay when we do!

Relaxing holidays in a beautiful villa!
Jane and Richard's villa is delightful and cosy, with lovely "feminine touches". It's bright and spacious, with three bathrooms and enough space for the four of us to not be on top of each other all the time. It has all you need to have a wonderful holiday: fully equipped kitchen (although a draining board would have been a handy thing to have), a nice sitting area with a flatscreen TV, DVD player and router. The WiFi was very patchy at first and this was a bit of a disappointment, since it was impossible to watch Netflix or have a decent Internet connection and I had to add extra data to my 100GB mobile data dongle! However, during the last week we were there the connection picked up and we were able to use Drydakia East, which had the best reception. Being on holiday with two teenage boys, their main requirements are sun, pool and WiFi, and the first two were there and enjoyed the full two weeks we stayed. The pool is wonderful and really made our holiday, we were very happy just lounging about, also because of the hot temperatures which didn't inspire much site-seeing. The views to the sea from the front and to the White Mountains from the garden are stunning, as are the beautiful pink and white oleander shrubs and, of course(!), the bougainvillea, that adorn the house. My only negative point, which has nothing to do with the owners, was the constant attacks by mosquitoes. I suffered their bites from morning till night, even though we used burning coils and anti-mozzie spray, they are relentless! The caretakers Jane and David were very friendly and helpful and it was nice to be able to speak English with them. We loved the little village of Vamos and its hospitable and welcoming inhabitants! Stella, who runs the local museum, is quite a character and I found it rather amusing to see Socialist and anti-Farage magazines lying in the window. After I enquired about that, she said that she is "leftist" and supports Jeremy Corbyn... She asks 2 euro for a visit and for another 2 euro she serves a delicious Greek coffee! George of the "Douwe Egberts" café is lovely and his Dad makes the most delicious ice cream! On the other side of the road, in the Minimarket, you are helped by lovely Irini at the till. Most people speak (some) English, but with Google Translate you can get by very well. There's also a nice artisan (work) shop where a lady called Natasha makes beautifully painted earthenware. We want to come back to Crete for sure!

Everything about this place is great. The Pool, the gardens, the comfortable interior and the lovely cool breeze that blows through the place when the windows are open. We loved it. The only drawback were the vicious mozzies which loved us !
