We are two families with 3 kids in total. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest! The house is new and very tastefully furnished. There was nothing missing, the owner payed a lot attention to all the details. There is an AC in every room, the beds are absolutely comfortable and the kitchen is fully equiped. The pool is heated and has a perfect size. Everything was very clean, the cleaning staff came every other day and they were more than thorough. Everybody was very kind, the owner brought brand new toys for our kids, they provided diapers in every size for us to make sure that the right size is included. Octavian was our contact person and we could contact him around the clock with any kind of questions. He arranged appointments for us at the dentist, made restaurant recommendations and reservations for us and he arranged the shuttle service for every single trip we made. Thank you so much for all of our help! We highly recommend these Villas either for families or for a group of friends as it has all amenities you need to feel good all over. We will definitely come back someday. Thank you again for being such a perfect host! Kind regards and see you soon
We felt very much at home from the first moment and Manolis and Octavian took care of us with all our wishes. It was the most beautiful rental house we have ever visited. The location is perfect as it combines the natural beauty of Crete, the mountains and the sea nearby.
Only half hour drive from heraklion airport but feels like you are on a different island so far from the buzz of the busy tourist areas. Close to all amenities. Service is outstanding, there is nothing Octavian and Manolis cannot help with or arrange for you. The Villas are beautiful and in perfect condition. Amazing Seaview and if you are an early bird like me you get the sunrise over the hills from your balcony.
Excellent location, excellent architecture, worth money for sure...
Such a nice place for family holidays, Villa and pool area are amazing, the facilities are more than enough and the location it was exactly what we needed, calm and nice views.
