A very late in the year, short notice break. Where to go? Somewhere still warm, quiet, near the sea, close to food and drink and with great facilities. Crete, Elounta, Villa Bougainvillea: all boxes ticked.
The house was spotlessly clean, well equipped and brilliantly located (10mins into town, 15 back) with The Hope taverna and Beeraki pub almost on our doorstep. Great kitchen and sitting room, massive bed and a superb pool, all topped off with a wonderful view.
The whole booking process was straightforward, communication with the owners quick and clear and the result was a great experience.
Most of the water-front tavernas were closing down at the end of October but that didn’t mean there was nowhere to go and it did mean that our business was much appreciated everywhere We were lucky with the weather (22-25C and mostly sunny) apart from one spectacular thunderstorm. The fantastic house meant that we felt very much at home all the time.
Oh and did I mention we had a brilliant time?
