" great villa with lovely views. Almirida beach was great for snorkeling on left and safe for swimming on right with huge waves when the wind got up. Polis also good snorkeling. small cove the other side of Plaka fantastic, remote,great fish, sandy but no amenities Rethymnon great shopping not just tourist things avoid taverna's on quay side as they are twice the price Chania great but hot, saturday fruit and veg market a must, behind best western hotel at top point of Chania 8-noon a visit to the re-cycled glass factory just past Plaka a must hand luggage items only! our last day today and the clouds have arrived to see us off, must be time to go home. ps floors in villa get very slippery when wet. "Stor villa med dejlig synspunkter. Almirida stranden var stor for Snorkeling på venstre og sikkert for svømning på højre med enorme bølger når vinden stod op. Polis også godt Snorkeling. Små Cove den anden side af Plaka fantastisk, fjernbetjening, store fisk, sandy men ingen bekvemmeligheder Rethymnon stort shopping ikke kun turist ting undgå Taverna's på kajen side, da de er det dobbelte af prisen Chania stor, men varmt, lørdag frugt og grønt marked et must, bag best western hotel øverst punkt Chania 8-middag et besøg på igen skiftes glas fabrik lige fortiden Plaka et must håndbagage poster only! vores sidste dag i dag, og skyerne er ankommet for at se os slået fra, skal være tid til at gå hjem. ps etager i villa bliver meget glatte når de er våde.

"The last night of our holiday has arrived and we are very sad to be leaving In Crete for 2 weeks, one of them spent here in lovely villa Sophia . really enjoyed the pool, Our children learned to swim in it- so very successful, local beach very pleasant and safe for children. But definitely worth a trip to Falasarna on the western side, stunning beach, turquoise sea, found a little cove beautiful. "Den sidste nat af vores ferie er ankommet og vi er meget trist at forlade I Kreta i 2 uger, en af dem brugt her i dejlige villa Sophia. Nød virkelig puljen, Vores børn lærte at svømme i det så meget vellykket, lokale strand meget behagelig og sikker for børn. Men absolut værd en tur til Falasarna på den vestlige side, fantastisk strand, turkisblåt hav, der er fundet en lille Cove smuk.
Too hot when we were here to enjoy Chania although it did look very pretty For varm, da vi var her for at nyde Chania selvom det gjorde se meget smuk
Villa is very cleverly designed, great feeling of space we never got on top of each other. thanks also for the selection of books and DVD's it felt like home from home - without the homework. Villa er meget dygtigt udformet, stor følelse af rum, vi aldrig fik oven på hinanden. Også tak for udvælgelse af bøger og DVD'er det følte gerne hjem fra hjemmet - uden hjemmearbejde.

" We've had a lovely holiday. the villa is fantastic , beautifully positioned, clean and very well equipped. views - stunning, "Vi har haft en dejlig ferie. Villaen er fantastisk, smukt placeret, rene og meget veludstyret. Synspunkter - bedøvelse,
Frankie's recommendations with regard to beaches and places to eat are all worth trying , especially "Dimitris" in Almirida, and "Aposperitis" in Gavalahori. Frankie's anbefalinger med hensyn til strande og steder at spise er alle værd at prøve, især "Dimitris" i Almirida, og "Aposperitis" i Gavalahori. Our two young boys loved the pool - in fact they loved everything so much they want to live here- Vores to unge drenge elskede puljen - faktisk de elskede alt så meget de ønsker at bo her -
so I suspect we will be back again!" så jeg formoder vi vil være tilbage igen! "

"Oh well it's the last day of our holiday and although we have just spent the most fantastic three weeks here, "Oh godt det er den sidste dag i vores ferie, og selv om vi netop har brugt de mest fantastiske tre uger her,
we could all happily stay for another three. kunne vi alle lykkeligt opholdet med yderligere tre.
The location of Sophia's house is absolutely beautiful. Placeringen af Sophia hus er absolut smuk. stunning views, peace and quiet and a lovely villa that provides real home from home comforts. This is our second visit to Crete, and we know for sure it won't be the last. Visits to Chania and Rethymon town were great for both shopping and eating out. Lake kourna is a great day out, providing some breath taking scenery. To be quite honest there is nothing here to dislike. fantastisk udsigt, fred og ro og en dejlig villa, som giver reelle hjem fra hjemmet bekvemmeligheder. Dette er vores andet besøg på Kreta, og vi ved med sikkerhed, vil det ikke være den sidste. Besøg til Chania og Rethymon byen var stor for både shopping og restauranter. Lake kourna er en stor dag ud, giver nogle ånde under sceneri. For at være helt ærlig er der intet her for at lide.
Thanks Ruth and John for providing the opportunity for us to stay in such a beautiful place as Aspro . Takket Ruth og John for at give den mulighed for os til at opholde sig i sådan et dejligt sted som Aspro.
hope to visit again in the future. håber at besøge igen i fremtiden.

" Lovely villa, peaceful, private, with everything we needed (especially once electricity supply sorted out) Frankie provides a great service, is easily contactable and helped with any questions we had (like arranging for our jeep to get towed out of the mud halfway down a steep track to the beach; Arranging for an alternative villa while the electrics were fixed here; "Dejlig villa, fredeligt, private, med alt, hvad vi havde brug for (især når elforsyningsvirksomheden sorteret out) Frankie giver en stor tjeneste, er let contactable og hjalp med alle slags spørgsmål, vi havde (som sørger for vores jeep til at få trukket ud af mudder halvvejs fastsættelse af en stejl vej til stranden; Arrangering for et alternativ villa mens Electrics blev fastsat her;
and keeping us updated on our exit options when XL Airways went bust!!!) og holde os opdateret på vores exit-muligheder, når XL Airways gik bust!)
Frankie will undoubtedly continue to provide an excellent service with her new company .we enjoyed, and recommend: any drive south over the white mountains - spectacular. Frankie utvivlsomt vil fortsætte med at yde en fremragende service med hendes nye selskab. Vi har haft, og anbefaler: enhver køre syd over de hvide bjerge - spektakulært.
Frangokastello (fortress & beach) via the Impros gorge - the road down the side of the mountains is still under construction and a bit hairy in places, but the views over to the south are incredible. Frangokastello (fæstning & Strand) via Impros slugten - vejen ned i siden af bjerge er stadig under opførelse og lidt hårede på steder, men udsigt over mod syd er utroligt. Sougia beach - again, amazing drive,(particularly great beach for "au naturel")pebbly (sandy) Sougia strand - igen forbløffende drev (især stor strand for "au naturel") pebbly (sandet)

Falassarna beach on west side of island - miles of sand & dunes, busy weekends.well worth visiting Chania for shopping and to eat if like us you prefer small quiet beaches & coves there are only two nearby the best one is just before Kera near the top of the hill park on the road and take the winding track on foot don't be tempted to drive down (as we did ) you won't be able to get back, even in a 4x4! the other is just past Plaka go through the town and bear left. Falassarna strand på vestlige side af øen - miles sand og klitter, optaget weekends.well et besøg værd Chania til shopping og til at spise, hvis ligesom os du foretrækker små rolige strande & coves er der kun to nærliggende den bedste er lige før Kera nær toppen af bakken park på vejen og tage den snoede vej til fods ikke blive fristet til at køre ned (som vi gjorde), du vil ikke kunne komme tilbage, selv i en 4x4! de andre er blot fortiden Plaka gå gennem byen og bærer venstre. probably worth asking for directions, but worth it. sandsynligvis værd beder om retninger, men det værd.
ENJOY!! God fornøjelse!!

I hope you will have a lovely time, as we did. enjoyed our stay in your intimate and quiet villa, with no cars, no noise, and the beautiful views I have tried out your kitchen equipment because I love to cook, and nobody wanted to leave Sophia's house.
