We stayed in villa Apoi in June 2013 after searching on the web for a villa with good design in mind. Villa Apoi caught our attention and since it is brand new, we thought it would be nice to visit it before it gets fully booked! Although it is part of a villa complex and it is set in an amphitheatrical plot, we did not feel disturbed by our neighbours. The villa has such great views from EVERY room and the owners went to great lenghts in order to guarantee a great stay for us – they even provided a new iPad mini with many useful apps and interesting music libraries. All their recommendations were updated and gave us a chance to «do as the Cretans to» while being there. What we specially enjoyed was the time in the pool as it has direct access from the living room and the kids enjoyed so much the paddle pool in the corner. Also, the hot tub in the upper floor terrace was a delight when the air becomes cooler after the wonderful sunsets!The village is quaint, although it needs to get rid of the basketball hoops from the square since it spoils the otherwise authentic scenery. But, it was such a convenience to walk just 300m if you need any grocery supplies or sit down to eat at the village taverna.We ordered in sometimes from a local restaurant in Plaka and almost everything was perfect and reasonably priced.Finally, it is worth mentioning that the owners are planning to turn the complex into an all villas resort in the future with a reception/play room area and permanent assistance for planning excursions, booking restaurant tables etc. Hopefully next time we visit, we can try their new facilities as well!
