The description online is a bit deceptive. There are two “bedrooms” on the uppermost floor. And both are very small. One room has a bathroom in it along with twin bed, a dresser, and a closet. The other room cannot be called a bedroom. It has a twin bed that is hard as a tabletop. There is no closet and there is no dresser. Just a terrible bed and a small bedside table. To get to the bathroom you must walk into other bedroom. And that bathroom is very small with a very small shower. There was one hairdryer in the house which was a problem for 7 women. The public space of the house is nice and we enjoyed that as well. Kitchen is well equipped except for wine glasses. The grounds and the pool are very pretty and well maintained. We enjoyed that. ##### Sharon M. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline v. 1 Sept 2018 #### Prachtig klassiek grote villa met een enorme tuin en zwembad Prima lokatie dicht bij Heraklion en vlakbij strand van Amoudara. Villa is ruim en de tuin en het zwembad gigantisch. Ontvangst door beheerders echtpaar heel hartelijk en warm. Huis is heel persoonlijk en met veel zorgvuldige accessoires aangekleed. ##### Jacqueline v.
