This house was everything we hoped it would be.
Excellent location. Quiet.
Gorgeous panoramic view of ocean.
Comfortable beds and pillows. Cold air conditioning.
Pool is not heated but that did not stop us.
The management company and the local manager were amazing. Met us at the house to show us every thing we needed to k ow. Left a bottle of rose and homemade local pastries and coffee for the first day!
They checked in with us after first day and we mentioned the only two things we had looked for and could not find was a blender and ice. They had dropped by both items by the end of the day. They say they are available to you 24/7 and I really believe they would be.
We had a lovely stay at Anima. The views were spectacular and there was a cute beach bar and a few restaurants within walking distance. The house was as described in the listing and they were very responsive with any communication. We loved our visit to Crete!
We are just back from our holidays in this amazing villa. Everything was perfect. Valia and Elli are great - answering all your questions without minutes. We definately recommend this villa.
From the listing to the communications getting our trip together to support from Valia and Ellie during our stay, we could not have asked for a better experience. The house lived up to the listing photos, even better. We were more used to staying in hotels so feel we tried to do too much around the island and not enough time just enjoying the house and the location. The neighbor welcomed us and brought us grapes from her vines. We just cannot say enough positive things about the house and our overall experience. I give it as high a rating as it possible and would very happily do it all over again.
