This has been our third visit to this villa, and it gets more and more beautiful each year. The villa is well-equipped and the cleaners keep everything spotless. A magnificent spot and an excellent location, no place on earth is like it
Incredible views, amazing pool, great host who looked after all our needs including providing a welcome pack containing superb homemade marmalade and local honey. They have really thought about the little touches that make a good holiday - fresh fruit on arrival to make your own orange juice, music available throughout the whole place and now internet enabled tv. House was spacious and comfortable. Local town is a short walk with lots of good restaurants and things to do with kids - canoeing, boating etc. Would highly recommend.
Perfect villa, perfect location. Beautifully presented home with all you would ever need! Air con throughout. Very comfortable beds. Plenty of towels for pool and beach. Outdoor lounge area and sun beds. Unobtrusive gardeners and pool cleaner, again beautifully presented grounds. Although it is a gated complex of three villas it is quiet and private. Daily bakery delivery! Great housekeeping, sheets and towels changed regularly. A real home from home. Sea views from the villa and the pool. Easy walk to town with good selection of shops, bars and tavernas. Excellent contactactable host who gave excellent recommendations for eating and trips out. Highly recommend, we would return !
Combining The best of staying in a villa and being in a quality hotel with daily housekeeping, pool and gardening staff on hand. The location is quite yet connected. This has to be the best villa we have ever hired.
The location of the villa was idea. Its facilities were excellent and it was in very good condition. The host was very pleasant, attentive and responsive. We appreciated the attention to detail to look after our needs.
We stayed during the shoulder season right before most places opened up for summer, so the town was quiet and not busy. The villa was one of few resorts on the island open and we were so happy with our choice. Katerina is an exceptional host and will help find places to go and eat all over Crete.
The villa was absolutely stunning with a well thought-out design and plenty of space, inside and out, for relaxing and entertaining. Katerina is a great host who goes above and beyond from little touches like a house phone with recommended restaurants on speed dial to the daily bakery driver visiting the villa with fresh bread and Greek delicacies. I can’t recommend this villa highly enough and can’t wait to return.
Der Blick ist absolut einzigartig. Man kann einfach nicht genug davon bekommen. Die komfortable Villa ist mit sehr viel Liebe, Geschmack und Stil eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts und die Gastgeberin ist äußerst hilfsbereit und freundlich, wie auch die Damen vom Housekeeping, die für Sauberkeit, frische Handtücher usw. sorgen. Wir hatten das Gefühl bei Freunden im Haus zu sein, so willkommen wurden wir geheißen.
We have just returned from this amazing villa. We landed at Heraklion airport and drove for 2 hours along the coast. It was a straightforward drive. We arrived at the villa no problem. It was just stunning. Katerina, from the Villas was there on our arrival and she went through everything. We sent her a shopping list before we arrived and for €30, the team did a big shop for us. This enabled us to chill out straight away. There was a good wifi connection in the villa. The Baker arrives every morning at around 10am in a red van. He had freshly baked bread and croissants etc. The villa has sun in the garden from 7.30am (in July) and it faces west, so there is full sun all day, with a stunning sunset every evening we were there. There was plenty of space, all bathrooms had ensuites (2 showers and 1 jacuzzi bath). The air conditioning was a life saver and the 'maids' came in daily. They were very friendly and spoke good English. We all enjoyed the swimming pool, it was a perfect size with water deep enough to be able to dive in. It provided a welcome relief from the heat! The village is 5-10minutes walk away with lovely Greek tavernas, which everyone falls off the beach into. Our kids hired pedaloes and a kayak from the beach. I think there were also small sailing boats and paddle boards available. There were a number of mini-markets in the village, a butchers, off licence and plenty of tavernas. The village was very Greek and there were no clubs but there were a couple of lively bars. The atmosphere of the village was great. Everyone was very friendly. It was a perfect Villa in a perfect place. We will definitely be back. Thank you Katerina for making us so welcome.
This was our third visit, this time with our parents - what can I add to our last review - nothing much except to say that the villas and views remain as beautiful as ever, the setting is sooooo tranquil and relaxing and the service offered by Katerina and the team is world class - highly recommend
One of the best villas we've stayed!
An amazing villa with the best views - probably one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. The Cretan people are so friendly and it's lovely to be able to walk down to the beach and the cafes. Highly recommend the yoga session too.
