Koutouloufari House

For sure it is a beautiful property and good views but for this price, it should be. Sunrise was spectacular. Great location, though not very private with house directly in front/to the left, which I did not realise at time of booking (likely not have booked if given the choice). House was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Cleaner did an amazing job. WiFi connection not very strong. Had issues with ducted AC however Host was very responsive and helped accordingly in quick manner. It is a very beautiful place and well looked after.

Irida Villa

Het huis is erg mooi en schoon, helaas vielen de eigenaren erg tegen. We werden elke dag lastig gevallen op willekeurige momenten op een dag, zonder geldige reden. We kregen het idee dat we gecontroleerd werden en geen privacy hadden, aangezien ze ook in het huis kwam als wij er niet waren zonder het aan te kondigen. Daarnaast werden we beschuldigd van schade maken, terwijl hier geen bewijs voor was en wij dat ook niet gedaan hadden. Over het algemeen dus een heel mooi huis, maar de communicatie met de eigenaar heeft onze vakantie lichtelijk verstoord.

Lovely villa in great location

We recently stayed in Irini’s villa for 2 weeks and had a great time. The villa is well located to be about to eat in the local villages and avoid the hustle & bustle of the lively bars. Irini gave us some great recommendations & was really helpful when we needed help. A great villa for a family.

Gelungener Urlaub

Wir hatten einen gelungenen Aufenthalt in dem Haus. Das Haus liegt zusammen mit zwei weiteren Häusern auf einem separaten Grundstück. Es ist modern eingerichtet und sauber. Die Vermieter sind sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir konnten vor dem eigentlichen Check in anreisen und wurden persönlich von der Besitzerin empfangen. Bei Fragen oder Problemen wurde uns schnell geholfen. Wir würden das Haus jederzeit noch einmal buchen.

Lovely stay at Villa Irida

We had a wonderful week at Villa Irida. We enjoyed the pool, the outdoor cooking, the general overall convenience to surrounding areas, and the modernized house. Thank you Irina for being so attentive to our needs. Your restaurant recommendations were excellent.

Perfect place for family holiday

Words can't describe how truly amazing our stay at this house was. We had a last minute change of houses, and owners was so accommodating and helpful in transferring us and helping us to get settled. The pictures of the house truly do not do it justice. The views are beyond stunning and the outside space is so beautiful and serene, we never wanted to leave the house because it was so relaxing to be there. We will miss our morning breakfasts out on the terrace overlooking the sea, and of course the amazing pool that was heated for us till 30 degrees(it was one of reason to chose this villa because of small kids). The house is a very clean and really perfect for using. Kitchen it was favorite place for my wife. It's have everything as in our home and even when we didn't know where we can find some devices for cooking Irina always came in 10 minutes and help us with any issues. Irina is the perfect host. She is welcoming available and accommodating. Everything is easy and works out perfectly with her. During our holiday she was eight months pregnant with another child of 1.5 years, but despite this she was reacts really quickly to our requests. Since we rested in November it was already the end of the season and most of the places were closed, Irina has made a great program for us, where we can get all necessary goods for children and wich places we could visit that time.I recommend staying with her for anyone. Do not hesitate in booking this house, we made so many unforgettable memories with our family here!

Slightly disappointing

We have only given this villa a 3 star rating for various reasons. First of all the villa itself is clean with ample crockery/utensils. It is decorated to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings. Large BBQ area and nice shady seating area. We have 3 negative comments. 1. Most afternoons /evenings we experienced very loud music reverberating from the apartment complex/hotels that surround the villa. Hardly peaceful. 2. The villa pool lights did not work making the pool area very dark. The owners were informed but it was not rectified until quite late into our holiday. 3. At the level of rental price paid we did expect a welcome pack & toiletries to be provided. In comparison to our previous weeks rental villa in Chania which provided a welcome pack,fruit, biscuits, raki & toiletries for less rental price, This villa was sadly lacking and poor value for money.

Excellent villa

This Villa was an absolute dream of a place. gorgeous style and beautiful decor. the villa was very clean, and had all the amenities available. it was spacious, luxurious and had a great heated pool along with a brilliant BBQ area which for me being a South African was the best feature!! they have a brilliant and professional masseuse who comes to the villa on request and we had the best back massage ever! she brought along a variety of essential Oil blends for sale for all types of problems for which i bought one for my back as i suffer from lower back pain and it did wonders! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great relaxing holiday. I thank the owners Michael and Irine for being wonderful hosts.

Villa de rêve

Cette année nous avons choisi la Crète pour nos vacances. Nous avons décidé de rester à la Villa Irida, parce qu'elle était assez grande pour toute la famille (mon mari, mes parents, mes deux petits enfants et moi). Nous avons trouvé cette location à très bon prix. Elle n'était pas loin non plus du village principal d’ Hersonissos.La villa Irida se trouve au coeur de la montagne crétoise à côté du joli village traditionnel de Koutouloufari. Quand nous sommes arrivés nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux par les propriétaires Michael et Irini qui nous ont dit de les contacter pour tout ce dont nous pourrions avoir besoin. Nous avons eu la véritable surprise de voir que la villa était encore plus belle et plus grande que sur les photos. Nous avons trouvé un barbecue dans le jardin privé ce qui a ravit mon mari grand amateur de barbecue ! Le Villa étais très propre et avec toutes les commodités. Tous les soirs, pendant que mon mari nous faisait un délicieux BBQ, mes parents appréciaient la piscine chauffée (ma mère ayant de l'arthrite). Les enfants s'amusaient aussi à jouer sur la pelouse de la villa Pendant la journée nous avons visité les endroits qu’Irini, notre guide improvisée, nous a recommandés. La villa a également un catalogue avec différents massages et soins du visage que nous avons testés au bord de la piscine. Ces massages ont été faits par un thérapeute qualifié et très sympa, parlant français ! Il nous a donné un vaste choix d'huiles essentielles. Quel bonheur pour les vacances ! Malheureusement, le 3ième jour, ma mère se sentait un peu malade à cause du soleil et nous avons appelé Irini pour nous indiquer le centre médical. Vraiment, je ne peux pas y croire : elle nous a amené chez le médecin. Quelle hospitalité crétoise ! Nous avons eu nos meilleures vacances grâce à Irini et Michael ! Vraiment une adresse à recommander sans hésitation ! We will be back...😊. Angeline Benoit

Отличный отпуск на средиземном море!!!

Мы отдыхали на Крите в мае 2016 года . Наш выбор пал на Ириду виллу так как были все удобства для отдыха с ребёнком и что ещё не мало важно это наличие услуги подогрева бассейна . Забронировав эту виллу мы связались с владельцем Михалисом и были приятно уделены так как его супруга Ирина говорит на русском языке. С этого момента Ирина сделала наш отпуск максимально комфортным. Нас встретил трансфер в аэропорту, который она же организовала , предоставила нам все необходимое для нашего 10-ти месячного ребёнка , даже написала списки магазинов где покупать продукты питания для нашего малыша. Любая наша просьба выполнялась в кратчайшие сроки. Мы очень благодарны за столь теплый приём и мгновенную реакцию на все наши просьбы это была колоссальная помощь, а особенно учитывая то, что Ирине нужно было заботиться о своём 3-х месячном малыше. Что касается виллы то можем сказать, что дом ещё лучше чем на фото. Он намного больше и очень чистый, что для нас было важно. Так же владельцы построили огромную обеденную зону с барбекю, где мы проводили все наши вечера, это был для нас так же приятный сюрприз так как на момент нашего бронирования у них не было фото с барбекю зоной. Мы наслаждались тишиной и покоем находясь на вилле , это был просто Рай после шумного города. Мы обязательно вернёмся в это место ещё раз как только запланируем наш отпуск в Грецию.

Eine Woche im Paradies

Wir reisen gerne und sind schon viel rum gekommen, wichtig war uns ein Haus in dem man gerne wohnt und ungestört sich erholen kann, Vorliebe mit privatem Pool und genau das haben wir mit der Villa gefunden. Man kann sagen, es war eine Woche im Paradies. Es fehlte an gar nichts. Die Einrichtung ist so schön dass ich am liebsten dort bleiben wollte. Super! Empfangen wurden wir ganz herzlich, typisch griechisch eben. Die Inhaber dieser Villa gaben uns sofort ein Gefühl von Geborgenheit und Wohl sein. Der Inhaber Mihalis (bzw. dessen Ehefrau Irini) hat uns stets herzlich unterstützt und war immer erreichbar, wenn wir eine Frage hatten. Der nächste Urlaub ist gebucht, wir sind stolz diese Familie kennen gelernt zu haben. Es stimmte einfach Alles, die Besitzer haben sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Wir sind dankbar für die tolle Zeit, bis nächstes Jahr.

Five Star, superb

We stayed in this wonderful villa for two weeks over the Easter holidays. The photos do not do it justice, it is very beautifully finished ,lovely view , the pool was heated which was essential at this time of year. The owner was 100 % attentive even though he had his first baby during our stay, nothing was too much trouble. We very rarely travel to the same place twice but we are strongly thinking of coming back. The town was only just beginning to wake from the winter but that suited us and we loved the three villages that are on the hillside as your turn left out of the drive. Thanks Mikalis, we have fallen in love with your house.
