Best value for money for sure. The pool is amazing. If I ever gonna be on Krite again, I would 100% book this place once again. Breakfast was super good, with a lot of food, the girl who served it always asked if we need anything more, what we want to change, or maybe we have some allergies. Overall super friendly stuff. You can see that villa is new, but the owner is taking great care of the place, fixing the smallest issues, cleaning the pool, etc.
Super nicely decorated and really very clean, I can really only recommend it to everyone. Giannis was always immediately available and very helpful. Everything was GREAT
The villa was exactly as described in the pictures, clean, cozy and perfectly equipped. Everything was a great fit. Giannis is a really great host: very friendly, helpful and always available when you need something. We felt completely comfortable and can only recommend the accommodation.
A big thank you to Giannis for hosting us, for his kindness and responsiveness. The listing was as described as well as the photos. The environment was very very quiet, beautiful and peaceful. The bedding is extremely comfortable. Everything was perfect, thank you again for everything. I recommend it 100% without so much as a second thought!
We had an amazing time and Giannis was an amazing host - super communication. There is nothing bad to say at all. 5/5. Will definitely come back for another visit
If anyone can find luxury like this for a similar price I'd love to know because I can't and, based on my experience here, I will want to go there too!
The view is amazing and the space to enjoy it from (inside and out) is spotless, modern, and super comfortable. The pictures are accurate but its still breathtaking when you see it for yourself. The host, Giannis, and his team are really friendly and helpful too.
A quick hint though - there aren't many shops or restaurants nearby so consider bringing food and drinks with you (noting the supermarkets in Crete close on Sundays!). Alternatively, eFood deliver takeaway food here and I'd recommend Kaparos for restaurant quality chicken skewer portions!
The property itself was beautiful and so peaceful – exactly what we were hoping for. We simply had the best time. You definitely need a car as there isn’t anything within walking distance, but this really wasn’t a problem as it made it easy to explore the island and all its hidden gems. It was a perfect stay from start to finish, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely be visiting again!
We had a wonderful night in this beautiful setting. Completely compliant with photos. Thank you very much!
Is the place to go if you want a peaceful and quite stay in Crete. It’s around 15 minutes outside of the Heraklion center, which means you spend around €15-20 for a taxi to Heraklion center. Giannis is a very responsive host and his team is very friendly and helpful all around.
I would definitely recommend to stay here, it’s amazing. The views of the Vineyards are beautiful and it’s a very safe location. 10/10 Would stay again!
It was perfect, with warm hospitality, a beautiful suite, clean and modern. Stunning location, spectacular view.
Fantastic location, so peaceful and relaxing. The care and attention to everything was brilliant. Better than the photos, they don't do it justice.
Every single detail of the house: from the decoration to warmth, cosiness and calm to switch off from reality
We had all the amenities to feel home: well equipped kitchen, washing machine and a lovely terrace with the most comfortable sunbeds to enjoy the sun out.
Breakfast was delivered upon request and had pretty good quality and variety to start your day with.
Views were incredible just like the pictures and the place was spotless! Very well decorated and so close the city whilst still being peaceful and quiet. Would deffo come here again!
We stayed here for our last night and it was perfect - such peaceful surroundings and amazing views! Lovely place!
The view from the room makes you feel like you are close to nature, while still 15 minutes from the center of Herakleion.
Giannis was very responsive and helpful from the beggining until the end of our journey. 5/5 would visit again anytime!
