It was good value for money and the owner and his son were very helpful.
The accomodation is basic but more than adequate.
However ,although it is only a short distance down to the local beach (which is beautiful) its quite a hike back up and a rental car was required after only 1 attempt .
In addition ,there was a problem with shuttle bus and taxis generally not wishing to take you directly to accomodation due to the condition of the road or small turning space.

Perfect holidays in November
> We took a shortbreak to Crete in November.
> We were lucky with the weather and also the tourist season was just
> finishing,so we enjoyed it better and it was much quieter as most of the tourists
> had left.
> We stayed at viila Bellevue ,because the price was reasonable and the
> reviews in trip advisor were ok ,not perfect, but for the place we were
> looking for and the price Bellevue was an ideal place in the centre of
> Crete and suitable for us to explore the island- west-east-north and south
> and that helped us, not to have to drive around so many hours.
> Bellevue is a simple small hotel, almost all the rooms have a sea view, they
> are simply decorated but big enough room to move around and also the
> bathrooms are big.
> The complex is built in an area with a lot of olive trees, each building has
> two or four rooms.
> The family that owns Bellevue are very friendly and helpful.
> The time we visit the island of Crete the family was collecting the olives
> from the olive trees. The complex has about 100 olive trees around,it was
> very interesting to watch the way they collected the olives.
> After they collected the olives they took them to the olive refinery in the
> mountains near Aclada village(3 KM from Bellevue) The owner of Bellevue
> George invited us to go with him. That was one great experience to watch
> the production of olive oil.The owner of the refinary let us to take some
> photos(I wiil hang up some in trip advisor).
> We visited a lot of places in Crete, it is a fantastic destination for all types
> of holiday makers and also it is a place you can visit all the year around.
> If we visit again Crete for sure we will stay in Bellevue,it is in the
> centre of Crete and the price is super for its category , In short:
> clean,simple,good prices,super view,and friendly, and in the centre of
> Crete
