Quiet village villa stay
My partner and I really enjoyed our retreat to the Villa Asteria. It is peaceful with beautiful views of the mountains and valleys. A great home base for exploring Crete.

Fabulous stay
We had a lovely holiday and the hosts, Sam and Jerry, we’re both very welcoming and kind. Villa Asteria was just as described and wonderfully located. We were so impressed and enjoyed ourselves so much that we have decided to return next year which we have never done before!

Peaceful location
Very attractive stone built Villa with really nice heated pool. The owners are lovely people, helpful and friendly and dealt with any issues very quickly The villa had lovely views both to the mountains and the sea. The location was peaceful with only the occasional ring of a goats bell to be heard, but only 10 minutes by car to the nearest tavernas The whole experience was just what we wanted and we would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere away from the busier tourist areas

Fabulous holiday
Amazing holiday. This was the second year we have stayed in one of Samantha and Jerry's villas. The villa is exceptional and the pool area stunning. We love the location as it has lovely views and a little off the beaten track, so relaxing. Close to great breaches and restaurants and a water park for the kids. The hosts are so welcoming and are always on hand if you need them We will return one day.

SPECTACULAR
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO's and this is by far the best! Online photos do not do it justice. It is a stunning home with gorgeous views and a pristine pool area that makes you feel like you're at a resort. Our family of 4 had an amazing time. The hosts, Sam and Jerry were always responsive, helpful and extremely kind. The house amenities were plentiful and top notch including a dishwasher and washing machine! Bathrooms and bedding were luxurious! The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. The way the bedrooms are situated gives every guest their privacy but the gathering spaces are comfortable and perfect for a large group. We only had breakfast but the kitchen is fully equipped if you do wish to cook. The views from both the front and back balconies are equally stunning and we enjoyed our coffee outside every morning. The home and grounds are very well maintained. Far enough off the main fare to be quiet but conveniently close to any needed services-groceries, restaurants, etc. Also, great to easily explore the province of Chania. We truly loved our stay and give it a 5 star rating as well as highly recommending this property. We can't wait to go back!!!!
