10/10 Excellent
"This place is AMAZING! Absolutely flawless with incredible views. Very modern and comfortable. The location is perfect. Quiet and secluded but a 5 min drive to several great local tavernas. 15min to Kissamos. ~20min to Falasarna. Right off the main road to Balos if you're driving there. Basilis is the onsite contact and he met us with the keys and did a full walk through and was very helpful for our whole stay. Beautiful sunrise and ocean views from the pool side and sunset views from the opposite balcony. We were a little worried booking as we booked several months ago when there were no reviews yet but this place is outstanding. We would give it 10 stars if that were an option. Everything went very smoothly and we couldn't have been happier with it. One note is that, like most places in Europe, everyone communicates via WhatsApp so if you don't have that yet get it and sign in. If you decide to do the Cretan Cooking Experience at Metochi Farmhouse (We would HIGHLY recommend that as well) it's literally right down the hill and the folks at Erofili tavern are their family so you can have the same dishes there. We would also recommend Kampanari Tavern over the Gramboussa restaurant. Their breakfasts were especially good."
