Over the last few years we have stayed in several Freelance villas, in Kefalonia and Crete, and this was the best we have stayed in so far.
Location is excellent. Less than an hour's drive from Xania airport, and less than 30 minutes walk from Almyrida beach. Almyrida is a small, fairly busy resort, with an excellent selection of places to eat and drink, from traditional Greek tavernas to a sophisticated rooftop cocktail bar. There are also some nice tavernas in the nearby village of Gavalohori.
The villa itself is spacious and well equipped. The veranda at the front and rear balcony mean that you can always sit in the sun or shade, and the view from the rear balcony over Souda Bay is spectacular, especially at sunset.
The pool was lovely and well-maintained, and the villa itself was clean with all the plumbing and electrics working as they should, (sadly this is often not the case in Greek holiday accommodation.) Nectarios, the owner was friendly and helpful, and there was even a chocolate cake waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived!
We are seriously considering returning to Villa Nynemia next year.
Can't think of anything...
