Very high quality equipment, it lacks nothing. Great pool and access to the Mediterranean, but this is to be enjoyed with caution as it is very rocky.
Within 15 - 30 minutes you can reach very attractive places with beautiful beaches or taverns.
A superb stay at this villa at an incrediable location magical setting, the Villa was very well equipped making very comfortable living!
A charming and roomy villa in a stunning location in southern Crete. Every day we marveled at the scenery and could not get enough of it. If you're searching for a quiet escape, I highly recommend
Amazing place, outstanding view from the every window of the house’s rooms and bedrooms! Well equipped kitchen and households places. So nice pool with the sea view! Ideal spot for snorkeling lovers! We observed many different kinds of fish, an octopus, the moray eels, the lion fish… The house keeper Areti was so kind and helpful.
Views are great, we only saw a handful of people in the cove all week so it felt like a private space and the villa is great. There was building work on several villas nearby which was noisy but it didn't spoil our enjoyment.
If you are looking for a secret hideaway: this is the place to be. Everthing is in order! This villa deserves a 5 star ranking!
Uniquely beautiful ! Hard to put in words. SUV or jeep would have been an advantage, but is also feasible. Anytime again
Relaxing location for people who like to be in a quiet place.
We hadden een fantastische tijd in het huis van Ernst en Janna! Begin september verbleven we er een week met een groep vriendinnen om een lustrum te vieren. Het huis is heel mooi, gebouwd met veel natuurlijke materialen, heel ruim en voorzien van alle comfort. Dat is heerlijk, maar de magie schuilt in de plek en het uitzicht. Zowel vanuit de slaapkamer als vanuit de rest van het huis en het terras kijk je uit op zee. Dat is onbeschrijfelijk en verveelt nooit, van de zonsopgang s'ochtens vroeg tot de ontzagwekkende sterrenhemel s'avonds laat. je voelt je opgenomen in de natuur. Langs een mooi aangelegde trap heb je direct toegang tot een baai waar het heerlijk zwemmen en snorkelen is. Je kan je bikini thuislaten. Kortom: je geniet van een enorme schoonheid zowel binnen, als buiten.
In July, we stayed at the villa for 11 days. It was a flawless day. This is the place for you if you desire a peaceful vacation with a nice view.
Amazing place, amazing staff ! we have 3 fantastic weeks.
Fantastic villa with beautiful pool and view. Downstairs at the sea you can watch nice snorkeling and fishing thanks to the super clear water. We and our kids enjoyed it.
