Home truths
Your host operates several villas here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
At full occupancy, four guests will sleep in the same bedroom on single beds.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. If you're travelling by plane, Heraklion is the nearest airport – it's a fifteen-minute drive from this home.
There’s a pillow menu available here to help tailor your stay.
