The villa looks great in the pictures but it’s even better in person.Beautiful inside and out. The pool area is great, and the covered outdoor dining space it beautiful. One of the best villas we’ve ever stayed in and the villa owners/ managers on hand were great. Location is good for the town (although the town is limited) but the views gardens and isolation of the villa is great. Would 100% stay here again
From start to finish our stay was wonderful. Tanya and Vangelis made us so welcome and the villa was perfect. There was everything we needed. The location could not be better.
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.
I've just returned from Crete after staying in the villa for a week. It had everything we needed and a few extras too, such as bottled water, fruit, homemade raki, herbs, spices, coffee, tea, honey etc.
The outdoor area was great for lounging around, but the beach was even better, with a few sun loungers exclusive to the owner's properties. The views were spectacular.
Checking in was a simple process and Alex gave us a tour of the property on arrival.
The owner was very welcoming and kind to us during our stay. We often saw him around the area.
We stayed here in the quieter season (October onwards) so the temperature was perfect (25 Celcius) and the area was much more peaceful.
I highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful base with spectacular views and facilities.
Thank you for making our stay comfortable and memorable.
We had a great stay! The villa is beautifully decorated, very clean & homely.
It is nicely located in the middle of the village, so very easy to pop in & get supplies but also very quiet & private.
The hosts are very attentive & helpful! The homemade goodies are delicious thank you!
It is easy to drive or catch a bus into the main town.
The house is fully kitted out with everything needed. My only suggestion would be for more storage in the bedrooms for clothes.
My wife and I stayed here for a week in July. The cottage is thoughtfully designed, finished to a high standard, and well equipped (sharp kitchen knives are always a mark of quality!). Even during the unprecedented temperatures, we kept cool inside the stone walls under the ceiling fans, and outside in the numerous shaded sitting spots in the lovely garden. I managed a full week of remote working (comfortable table/chairs, convenient power, and reliable WiFi). Johanna was a great host - meeting us on arrival, with lots of great local recommendations, and reliably available by phone. We were also welcomed with a well stocked fridge, which was very kind. Daily visits from the friendly cats and dogs were great, but otherwise the house, garden and roof all felt private and peaceful. The house is in a semi-rural area but is well situated for exploring this part of the island. Highly recommended.
