Villa Evi sits in Hersonissos, one of Crete's better-known coastal resorts, where the sea stays calmer than much of the island's north coast thanks to the shelter of Cape Sarandaris. A private pool sits alongside a separate children's pool, and the garden holds a full outdoor dining and seating area with a built-in barbecue grill, so meals can move outside without much planning.

Inside, the ground floor keeps things simple and open, with a living and dining space that leads into a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom. Upstairs, three ensuite bedrooms each open onto a private balcony, and every bed can be arranged as a double or split into twins, giving flexibility to suit different group sizes. Air conditioning is individually controlled in each room.

Old Hersonissos, a quieter village with tavernas, small churches and craft shops, offers an alternative pace to the resort's livelier stretches. Guests looking for beach time have options nearby, including the calmer western beaches near the port, while housekeeping and Wi-Fi are included for longer, easier stays.
