Disliked: Cleanliness
Will not return
Positives: Amazing location with stunning views, well appointed four second floor bedrooms, beautiful pool, close to many towns and beaches, spellbinding sunsets, water and beer left by the management, photographs well.
Negatives: hundreds upon hundreds of ants daily in the kitchen, living room, and even in two bedrooms (!) despite no crumbs. Roly-polies, and centipedes galore. Nicely designed, the villa is built and finished cheaply with the trim seams not sealed and insects coming through every gap around doors, windows, kitchen counter etc. We asked to seal the gaps, but were only offered to spray with insecticide and have cleaners mop the floors. We ended up crawling on all fours stuffing paper towels into the gaps to minimize the infestation. Upon arrival - not ready for guest arrival. Cobwebs, dusty floors, the insects, half shower faucet buttons missing , rusty kitchen handles, quarter of the bulbs burned out (and most not replaced despite requests), hot water broken on the second day, one sliding window/door not locking, folding doors jammed in two bathrooms, metal blinds not fully lifting in one bedroom, no curtains except outside metal security blinds that rattle like mad when it's windy (often), repeat questions about security cameras not answered, bent pool umbrella, etc. Not unusual for Crete, but as a contrast to other high end villas in the area - no toilet paper in the toilet and you end up being your own janitor. Not worth it at this price point.
