Crete villas

The property more than met our expectations and the kindness and hospitality of our host Amalia was exceptional. I would recommend the property whole heartedly the scenery, the facilities and the location were perfect for my wife and I on our second trip to Crete.

Beautiful villa in a very peaceful village with an amazing view. Genuine and hospitable host, reflecting the character of the region which is possibly the most hospitable culture i have ever encountered. Couldnt recommend highly enough.

The most beautiful sunsets and outlook over the sea, simply stunning. Friendly and helpful property management always available. A very clean property and the lovely maid even made us a chocolate cake. Beautiful place to stay fantastic facilities beautiful area beautiful people.

Beautiful property with stunning views. The villa was so well equipt with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, this was our first time in the South of the island so the recommendations kindly provided by Nicole were very much appreciated.

It was an amazing villa clean and tidy with plenty of space great pool and amazing views Host where excellent

We really enjoyed our stay here. Swimming pool was great as was the accommodation. Having cleaners twice a week was also great. However, it was the amazing sunsets over the sea that made the stay so memorable.

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.

This villa is high spec and luxury. The views of the sea, the horizon pool, sunsets and the surrounding hills are so beautiful, it felt like VR! It was as if two of my favourite places in the UK had been fused together - Curbar Edge in the Peak District and Rocky Valley in Cornwall. You will need definitely need to hire a car (and a fairly powerful one) in order to stay here - it is a 1 hour 40 minute drive away from Chania airport. Driving here is not for the faint hearted or for those that suffer with car sickness. Once you are through Kissamos the roads become steep, windy and narrow with little or no barriers to protect you from plummeting down the mountains! We found that the local supermarkets are not that local and not really “super” markets either, more like a small local shop. We stocked up on the way to the villa in Kissamos on a Sunday (when a lot of shops are shut) and it was very expensive and they didn’t have any fresh meat or fish for the BBQ. Recommend going to a large supermarket near Chania airport before driving to the villa. The villa itself is lovely, it has a small indoor kitchen area with half size dishwasher and pretty much everything you need. There is a washing machine and clothes airer which is great and we went back home with a suitcase full of clean clothes! There are bath towels, bath robes, bath slippers, pool towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, bars of soap and liquid soap. Outside there are 4 sunloungers and two other seating areas, there is a hammock, a swing chair and a lilo for the pool. The only thing we felt was missing was some parasols/more shade for the recliners/seating area. However, you can lie in the shade on the recliners up to 11am ish (in July) as the sun rises behind the villa but after then if you want shade you have to sit around the outside dining table/BBQ area. One thing to be aware of, that is not mentioned on the website, is that there is another villa, built into the ground, directly in front of you. You can barely see it, or the people in it, unless they go into the grounds of their villa or to their car. However, you are aware that they are there and vice-versa. Loads of good restaurants within 30 mins - check out guest book/ask host for tips of where to go etc. We had a great week and would definitely recommend if you want a laid back, away from it all break with breathtaking views.
