lovely peaceful getaway property

the property is large and has great facilities. perfect for a couple , i really loved this place and can't complain as its great value for money and well worth the drive from the coast. Vrbo mistrakenly placed the property drop pin in the town of Kolymbari but was infact 15 minutes in land from the location they stated, this really inconvenienced us as we had family staying in the town and needed to be nearby , this was Vrbo's fault , not the property owner and will be making a complaint to them . the Property owner was pleasant to deal with and helpful and my only complaint would be that i had to contact someone else to get the key to the property but was not getting messages / calls back on whatsapp so felt a bit stranded at 1am with no key to the place, would have been easier if they had a security box and provide me a code to get the key myself as its not a good system to rely on neighbour/ friends to meet up on arrival . apart from that every thing was very good. i would actually stay again since its such a lovely accommodation and amazing location in the hills.

This has got to be the loveliest property we have ever rented. Fabulous host so helpful and friendly the nicest lady you could meet. The finish and cleanliness of this property is first class. There is everything available you ever need. Beautiful beds,lovely comfy bed, good quality linen and towels. The location is lovely right on the sea down a few steps straight in the water. Very private. Two outside tables and good quality furniture and sun loungers. There are so many beautiful qualities about this property i cant list them all. This property is so worth what the host charges its lovely. We will return one day.

Villa Liakada - June Vacation

We have just returned from a wonderful two week stay in Villa Liakada, Drapanias, a sleepy resort ideal for relaxing. Eleni and her husband were perfect hosts and provided a welcome pack on arrival which was much appreciated and also gave us gifts when we left. Eleni kindly picked us up and returned us to the pick up points for the coach travel back to the airport.The villa is beautifully presented and is perfectly located with the sea just 30 feet or so away. The pool area is superb and very relaxing. There are 3 tavernas within walking distance and also a small mini market. Kissamos is a charming little town with lovely restaurants on the sea front and is approx 5 kms away and easily reached by taxi for 10 Euros. We would certainly recommend a stay in Villa Liakada.

Idyllic holiday

Harmony villas are two modern, well equipped villas, situated on a private cove. The grounds are well kept with good quality sun beds and shading provided. The villas have external shaded areas equipped with both hard and lounge furnishings. A BBQ big enough to spit roast a carcass is built into the surrounding wall. There is lots of room for car parking. Those who wish to Scuba dive or fish off of the rocks will be well satisfied as the cove is deep enough to require a competent swimmer to reach the sea bed with lots of rocks for the large number of varieties of fish to congregate. The water is normally crystal clear, and a paradise for those involved in water activities. In short nothing more Is required to make this a holiday to remember. For those wishing. to venture out, the local taxi service is excellent and very reasonable, a single journey to Kissamoss is 8 Euro plus tip for 4 passengers. The quality of the local restaurants is very high and the cost good value, we ate out most nights. For those inclined to walk, a sea food restaurant is situated in the harbour about 400m from the villas, where there is also a bar and motor boats can be hired. Kissamos centre is about 3/4Km from the villa depending on your destination, along the main road. We often walked there for breakfast, but used the taxis for evening visits. In summary, a superb property, with the very willing VRBO in the background should you need help, we had a great time!

The rooftop terrace with panoramic sea view

Excellent apartment with fabulous roof terrace

Everything you could need was available - even a gift of home cooked food....it is a spacious, well-equipped apartment with great outdoor space. The lovely host is available to answer any questions and give tips about the area. Fabulous local restaurants 15 minutes walk away and it is a great base from where to explore western Crete. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay

We have had a wonderful time at Christine and Gilles villa. Communication before and during our stay was extremely helpful. Hannah was there to greet us upon arrival providing lots of information about places to visit. We received the most generous welcome package we have ever had! The villa was beautiful, high up on a hill amongst olive groves, very private with spectacular sea views. The children loved to play in the pool every day. Thank you very much for making our stay so special. We hope to return one day.

Relaxing stay not too far from beaches or towns

We had a very relaxing stay in villa Theodorus. The villa had everything we needed and was 10min in car from great beach for snorkelling. Village itself was very peaceful & quiet.
