Egal ob es die persönliche Ansprache, die vielen Tipps oder Obst, ein Kuchen untertags war oder ein gemeinsames Essen im Gemeinschaftsbereich de Geländes, man fühlt sich gut aufgehoben und schon fast Teil der Familie. Eine wirklich paradiesisches Plätzchen. Das Appartement ist überkomplett ausgestattet und die Lage ist für die die Ruhe suchen ideal. 4 Minuten zu einem Morgenschwimm, mehrere feinsandige Strände in Gehweite und noch viele mehr wenige Minuten mit dem Auto. Tavernen mit kurzem Abendspaziergang zu Fuß erreichbar, und der Blick von der eigenen Terrasse lädt einfach zu einem Abenddrink ein… ##### Angela W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue D. 13 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect two week break Hermes apartment in Amatu Villas is a lovely spot for a couple seeking peace and quiet in a stunning part of Crete. The apartment's patio has lovely views over Mazida Ammos beach and has several other local beaches within from between 15 to 50 minutes walk - all lovely. The local tavernas are about 15-20 minutes walk away along very quiet roads. Although close to a road Amatu Villa feels very secluded. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well furnished. The kitchenette was well equipped with a hob and oven suitable for producing simple meals for lunch or dinner. Clean linen was supplied regularly. The gardens are beautifully kept by Vivi and are a haven for bird life. We were also treated to home made cake! Xerocambus is small and quiet - a place for those looking to rest, swim, walk, read and generally relax not those seeking nightlife. It is approached down a twisting mountain road with superb views. There are four tavernas and two small mini markets with more facilities about 20 minutes drive away in Zakros. Although the apartment had a tv we didn't switch it on all fortnight! ##### Sue D.
