We had a wonderful time at Villa Adriana! 3 couples enjoyed very comfortable stays in this beautiful 3 BR, 3 bathroom villa. Otto is the most gracious host, the villa is very clean, the gardens are simply beautiful, and the views of the sea from the balconies and pool area are truly breathtaking. The location of the villa was perfect for the outings we had planned during our 8 day vacation. The farthest outing was Elafonissi (the Pink Sand beach), which was 2 hours by car. The breathtaking Topolio Gorge was en route, and we stopped to take in the sights, and had dinner at beautiful AntaMa Taverna overlooking the gorge on the way back. Rethymno was under 30 minutes by car, Chania was 45 minutes, and Imbros Gorge was approximately 35 minutes. We also visited the Palace of Knossos, which was 90 minutes by car. Lake Kournas, an absolute gem, is only 7 km from the villa, and the local beach village, Georgioupoli, is a wonderful place with many terrific restaurants, very nice grocery markets, and the most friendly, courteous, hospitable people you will ever meet! We absolutely loved our time in Crete. I do feel somewhat compelled to mention one suggested improvement - the sign for Villa Adriana off the main road from Georgioupoli is nearly impossible to see at night, and only visible from one side (i.e., the sign is only visible if you are driving up the hilll). After you turn onto the access road, there are 2 opportunities to go the wrong way, and the signage is a bit confusing. After driving the access road once, you will be fine, but please be very careful the first time.
