Go for it and book
Only 15 mins from Heraklion town, nice and easy to get in and a very tasty local bakery 2 minutes down the road (and local shop). Nicolas was great at check in and out, we felt very safe and cleaners came every day for a spruce. Definitely recommend
Splendid views and amazing installations, the hosts are the kindest people and it was an incredible pleasure to stay in this villa.
This was probably the most beautiful place we've ever stayed. Having a pool to ourselves was refreshing and the view was breathtaking. Absolutely nothing we would have changed, except staying longer!
The villa was beautifully furnished and very clean, with a comfortable bed. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The pool area was lovely and perfect for relaxing, and the whole place is very quiet and peaceful – ideal for a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!
We were very satisfied of our stay in this villa. It was as expected and even better in a calm environment, near the countryside for anyone looking for peace and relaxation. Also, the owner was very warm and welcomed us very well.
Luxurious and comfortable. Beautiful views. Friendly owners and staff, very helpful and attentive.
Everything was perfect there. Very nice welcome from the staff, amazing view. I really recommend.
We were looking for a place to isolate from the noise and found these suites, far from the center in a pastoral and quiet place.
With an amazing private pool, a fully equipped room, cozy and beautifully decorated!
We had a perfect time, the property owner took care of everything for us, delicious breakfasts, taxis and was available for any questions.
Very recommended
The Location was great, very close to the city and very quiet. The staff is very nice, the breakfast was amazing and the suite was very clean, everything was perfect.
Totally nice and clean place, super quiet location. The highlight is the private pool.
Nice staff.
A must is a car, which you can also rent there.
I would be happy to come back.
Check in was very late at night which was no problem at all and since our departure was only in the evening we were even allowed to stay a little longer in the accommodation. The villa had more than exceeded our expectations. It was really totally beautiful and you have your peace. Cleanliness was great. The apartment has been cleaned by cleaners every day.
Unfortunately, the villa is a bit remote, which is why a car is only recommended, otherwise you won't get far at all.
Our time at this villas was amazing. The view to the mountains from the private pool is an obvious highlight for us. After a hot day of sightseeing there is nothing better than to swim in your own pool. In addition to that fast responses from the owners when we sent a question, amazing interior design, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, close to Heraklion. The villa was one of a couple of suites next to eachother but it was so calm and quiet. True dream vacation
The view from the pool was amazing. Location, 15 min drive to town. Very friendly hosts. It was spacious and bed was very comfortable we loved it!
An incredible place to stay - felt like a luxury home- everything well-considered & beautifully presented- only wish we had more time!
Everything was supernice, we loved this place!
