Lovely Villa

The Villa is in a great location, walking distance to the beaches and restaurants/bars etc. The pool is lovely and the Villa has all the amenities you require for a relaxing holiday. The communication from Jan, Dimitra and Kaiti at the Almyrida Villas team was excellent throughout, everything was made easy. Would return tomorrow.

Creating Adventure

We arrived very late after a delayed flight and it was easy to find the keys and enter this delightful property. The waiting gift of food and wine was so much appreciated. The pool was lovely especially with all the bougainvilleas flowering. Almyrida beach and restaurants were a perfect distance away from the villa - not too near the hubbub of shops, hotels and restaurants but not so far for an easy stroll into the village. We didn’t meet the hosts, Jan & Dimitri, but via emails they were very helpful with many suggestions on places to visit, taxis and car hire. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at a this wonderful villa.

Wonderful holiday

We had the most amazing holiday in Almyrida. Villa Iannis was beautiful and the restaurants served great food. We particularly liked Psaros and Francois. The villa was spotless, the pool was bigger than we anticipated and Jan was so kind, helpful and just very lovely. We will be back! The only issue for us was the layout. You can’t see the pool from the villa and there were a lot of steps but our children are 11 and 14 so it was fine for us. Thank you Jan, Dimitra and the Almyrida team ❤️😊

Stunning Villa

We've just returned from a lovely holiday staying at Villa Iannis. I can not recommend it highly enough. Its situated 5 minutes flat walk from the main town with its beautiful sandy beach and restuarants. The supermarket and bakery are at the end of the road as is the bus stop which will take you to Chania ( well worth a visit). If you have limited mobility you may struggle with the steps as the entrance level contains the bedroom and bathroom with further steps down to the second bedroom or steps up to the living room kitchen and dinning area. The villa is clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The pool is large with lots of seating and sunbathing areas. We loved the visits from the local sheep which graze right next to the villa. The welcome basket was a lovely gesture...we even got PG tips! The taxi office is also on the main street and after some help from Jan..Mary was waiting to pick us up from Chania airport and she also sorted our return. It cost €45 per trip. Most of the restuarants do takeaway so on a rainy night we treated ourselves and took advantage of the smart TV with Netflix. I think they've thought of everything! Thank you!! We didn't want to leave.

Awwww, we're back home again!

We have just returned from the most amazing holiday ever! It's difficult to know where to start. The Villa Iannis is just perfection. I was dubious when told that it was just a 5 minute gentle stroll to the beautiful seaside village of Almyrida, but this description couldn't have been more accurate. The selection of restaurants was brilliant, all selling fresh, tasty meals at more than reasonable prices and the service was second to none. We particularly recommend Francoise for lunch. Ice cold water and delicious fresh bread was places on the table when we arrived and the little bottle of Raki and selection of fresh fruits or small desserts after was most welcome. The villa itself couldn't have been better. The air conditioning was amazing, especially in the bedrooms, which enabled us all to have a great nights sleep. It was spotlessly clean and the pool was a little piece of paradise for lazing next to and enjoying a refreshing swim, or just floating about on the pool toys. The city of Chania is an air-conditioned bus ride away and the selection of shops and harbour there are wonderful. We have only just got home and we miss it already. Highly recommended. .

Perfect Week

We booked Villa Iannis for a week as our first holiday abroad in 3 years and following the death of my partner, post teen exams, Covid and everything else. The pressure was high but I can honestly say we couldn’t fault Villa Iannis. The team looking after the villa, Kaiti and the other lovely lady (who organised the butcher delivery for me) were amazing and so friendly. The villa was spotless and really tastefully done, with aircon, WiFi and Netflix (important for teen girls). The pool area is incredible, we felt so spoilt. The other big bonus is that I often search so hard to find a villa with pool close to restaurants, shops and beach and often they aren’t as close as described. However Villa Iannis literally is a short amble on flat ground. A car would be nice to get around and see other places and also the supermarkets don’t stock fresh meat or fish so you have to go to the next village. However the Villa Iannis team straight away sorted out a delivery for us and everything else (plus restaurants) was very easy to come by in the village. My very picky teenage daughters said they absolutely couldn’t find a negative with Villa Iannis. Thank you so much to Jan and Dimitra and Kaiti and the team for a wonderful holiday. I left my favourite jumper but I will get it next time! 😊

Wonderful stay

Well after originally booking for June 2020, thanks to COVID we eventually managed to go in 2022 and we are so glad we decided to hang on. Villa Iannis, what can we say, beautiful villa in the most beautiful setting, just a short walk from village, shops and beach, you really don’t need a car. The villa itself is extremely well equipped, they have thought of everything. The pool is a very good size and well maintained. If you want a peaceful and relaxing stay you won’t be disappointed. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts, Jan and Dimitra, and their team while we were there and you couldn’t wish to meet nicer people, they are so kind and accommodating. We couldn’t have wished for a better holiday and it was well worth the long wait. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality Jan and Dimitra you are wonderful. Linda and Steve

THE BEST

It was so difficult to decide where to stay for our honeymoon; luckily we made the right choice with Villa iannis! The villa is situated just a short walk from the beautiful beach and restaurants and shops, but is far enough away to feel peaceful and rural. It has beautiful olive groves surrounding, and views of the white mountains. Also the walk to town is flat which was a pleasant change as usually when I stay in Crete everything is on a hill and I suffer with arthritis so this was great for me! As soon as you get to the private large gate you get a feeling of luxury - there is so much space for cars. The courtyard is tiled. There is a beautiful olive tree at the front which is lit by a green light in the evening it’s very picturesque, in fact the whole villa has pretty lights around it in the evening which creates a pleasant ambience especially for a late night drink by the pool which is also lit in the night. AMAZING HOSTS! They even made the villa especially lovely with decorations for our honeymoon which was beautiful. Jan was very helpful and brought me a weighing scales that I requested as I have been on a weight loss journey and wanted to make sure all the lovely Greek food was not making me backtrack! The pool was wonderful. It is suitable for children. There were plenty of loungers, chairs and tables around the pool, and a brick barbecue which we didn’t get to use unfortunately. There was some charcoal and lights left for use. A special feature was the shower in the olive tree! The WiFi was pretty good and we were able to watch films on Netflix. The kitchen was fully equipped we had everything we needed. Kaiti the lady that manages the house was so kind enough to stock the fridge with Mythos and Water prior to our arrival as per our request. The plastic plates were particularly useful for taking outside. There are two lovely balconies, one off the bedroom and one from the living room. We had breakfast here which was really nice. The bathtubs are extra spacious. There is also a huge power shower in the back of the bathroom. Bath towels (and pool towels) are provided. The bed was super comfortable. There are plug sockets either side of the bed, which really is a must. The decor of the house was beautiful. You can really see that the owners have thought about everything. We were particularly happy for the thoughtful welcome basket which got us started here. We started calling Villa Iannis “home”. See you next year

Great Villa in Almyrida

We had a great 1 week break at Villa Iannis. We will stay longer next time. Every thing you could want with in 5 minutes walking distance. Nice welcome basket Little niggles were Influx of rain water through front door during down pour Poor WiFi/ internet connection Lack of Guest handbook (useful information) Like having to put key fob in electricity consumer unit. Best restaurants to visit, etc. And one point that always annoys me is the lack of a grain of salt or pepper (a personal gripe) But overall a great palace to stay

Fantastic villa

We enjoyed a 12 night stay in this lovely villa. The owner has really thought about what people want when they go on holiday, it was spotless, beautifully furnished and had everything that you need. The lay out is a little quirky and it may not suit the elderly or really young because of the stairs, but it was perfect for us, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pool was a great size and well looked after, the villa was regularly serviced with clean towels and bedding. We even had the pleasure of meeting Jan the owner, what a really nice, genuine guy. It was also well positioned, quiet but only a 5 minute walk to Almyrida centre. All in all we had a fantastic time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thanks Jan, we hope to see you again in the not to distant future. Peter, Sandra, Dan and Melissa.

It's the little things.........

Whilst the resort can't be faulted, lovely beach area and lots of great places to eat, the welcome pack was also a nice touch, the villa (in our opinion) would benefit from a few tweaks here and there, as I say in my review title, it's the little things. On our arrival for example, we did not know (because we were not informed) that the key fob needed to be inserted into a fitting on the wall, to activate the lights on the landing. The villa is well presented but there are stairs up to the kitchen/dining/living room and down to the basement, which are spiral, and with no handrails, this is not ideal, if, like our party, you have people who suffer with bad knees and hips. We have stayed in lots of villas over many years and we found it a little odd, that there wasn't an information pack containing details of local services such as chemist, English speaking Doctor etc, again, it's the little things. There is a barbecue area outside but given how far away the kitchen is from it and that there wasn't any outside refrigeration or utensils (most villas cater for this, plastic plates etc) it was a bit impractical in our opinion. The general lay out of the villa was impractical to be honest, given that the kitchen is at the top of the property, a few trays and cool boxes would be a good idea, there wasn't even a chopping board. I hope this review is a help and not a hindrance to potential guests and that the owner is able to view it as "constructive criticism" and perhaps tweak a few things. All in all the villa is nice and the views and pool area are lovely but not ideal for our particular party of, people of a certain age!!

Lovely place - will surely be worth five stars soon

We very much enjoyed our stay in Almyrida and in Villa Iannis. The villa is newly renovated, clean, good beds and very nicely decorated. Location is great, close to beach, tavernas and bakery (get the croissants from the croissant place NOT the bakery or Francoise's patisserie!). A lovely garden with real highlights like the shower in the olive tree or fresh herbs in plant pots. The local service in the form of Rick is fast and responsive and very helpful. The owner too responds quickly, which we needed when we had no info pack and a pool pump running dry! A hint here - in the information provided by mail include an emergency number and all is well. We did experience some issues such as rainwater coming in under the door and non-watertight basement windows (there was a LOT of rain but still). Also, things kept going out of service like electricity and finally the water in the garden. Pool is leaking, if no fresh water is added via the hosepipe the water level drains. No problem with the hosepipe per se - but it makes the water rather cold. As I said,house is fairly new I'm sure this can and will be addressed. Our biggest issue was something the owner can't fix - the architecture. It is a tick annoying that the living room kitchen is on the top floor and one has to run up and down the steps (and down the front steps if one wants to get into the garden) all the time. Plus, be careful - outside steps are very slippery when wet. Otherwise, Almyrida is beautiful, a true little gem, the tavernas by the sea side (we very much liked Elia and Thyme even if it is a tick more expensive. Or try O Lagos which is not on the sea but with a lovely atmosphere and a truly personable host). For shopping (we did a lot of self catering) we found the Slavenitis supermarket in Souda better than the SYNKA in Kalives (we had a car). There is a fish shop on the way down from national road, we only found it on last day. An enjoyable holiday, a beautiful island - even if the weather was a real beast (hint - google medicane Sorbas)

Thank you so much for an amazing holiday.

Everything was brand new in the Villa and very nicely decorated, beautiful. The Villa is ideally situated, quiet location and only a few minutes walk to beach and tavernas. The maintenance and cleanliness is worthy of a five star rating along. We woke in the mornings to great views from top floor balcony over to the mountains.. The welcome pack in the Villa with local product was delicious. Almyrida is a small village with excellent bars and tavernas along the beach. We did not rent a car was necessary, The bus services are very good and run often from Alymrida to the resort of Chania also there is plenty of excursions on offer around Almyrida. The area is great for couples and families and the Villa is very lovely in a beautiful location. The weather was great and had a wonderful experience from arriving to leaving and we would certainly recommend the villa to family and friends and look forward to going back ourselves.

Villa Iannis - Lovely villa, fabulous location.

Really enjoyed our stay. Well equipped villa, nicely furnished, very clean and lovely pool. Friendly pool man and cleaners who kept everything sparkling. Great location - a five minute walk to the beach and into Almyrida where there are lots of bars and restaurants. If there was one little niggle it was that the villa had no access or balcony pool-side but it wasn’t a big deal for us.

Outstanding property in a fabulous location with excellent facilities and furnishings throughout!

We stayed here for two weeks and had one of the most relaxing, wonderful holidays. The villa was absolutely beautiful with high quality furnishings and fittings throughout the property. A large welcome pack was much appreciated as we arrived later than planned ! The location could not be better with a short walk to beach and restaurant and a good variety of supermarkets and bakeries etc. The villa has superb space outdoors with a good sized pool and eating areas with a huge BBQ! The outdoor shower in the olive tree was a fantastic bonus and well used! Almyridia has a very relaxing feel and is not too commercialised and eating out was very reasonable with choices for all budgets. The villa was spotless and staff changed towels every 3 days and also cleaned to a high standard. It was good to have local English speaking staff on call if needed and we also met Jan, the owner who was extremely friendly! We loved everything about the villa, it’s location and Crete and will definitely be returning next year! A brilliant holiday which has fully recharged the batteries. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous villa

A fantastic villa, recently modernised to a very high standard. Well equipped , comfortable and spacious with a lovely outdoor area and great pool. It's 5 minutes walk from the village where there are lots of nice restaurants and a lovely beach. It would benefit from some literature on the local amenities and attractions although there is a smart TV which you can access information through.

Fantastic location, well equipped villa

This was our second stay at Iannis and we have already booked to come back next year. The villa is in a beautiful setting, just on the edge of the village of Almyrida, set amongst olive and lemon groves with the dramatic backdrop of the White Mountains. It is a five minute gentle stroll into the village where there is a immaculate sandy beach and numerous tavernas and bars. The villa is very well equipped, and the welcome pack of wine and basic provisions were gratefully received. Iannis is next to its sister villa Varvara but they have separate pools and barbecue areas. The villa was very clean and well maintained and Anne and Richard were very helpful. It is not often we as a family go back to the same place but we really have fallen in love with this part of Crete and are looking forward to our third visit.

Absolutely wonderful

Thank you Jan and Dimitra and team for three amazing and wonderful weeks in Villa Iannis. Everything was perfect! We will never forget our first family journey to Kreta. The teenagers loved especially the pool and the modern house! It was also a very comfortable stay for all of us! The house and pool are 100% clean and the climatization helps you even through the warmest days. And if you just think "it is great here" - there will always be an additional surprise, an idea of the owner for the next trip or a gift of the host. Our younger daughter had her 16th birthday in Villa Iannis! Could not have been nicer. Almyrida offers good restaurants, a bakery, little supermarkets and a beach for every day. By car you reach lots of attractions in the area. Greetings from us to Jan and Dimitra with the whole team. We will stay in contact!

Fantastic villa!

The house is perfect in all ways. It looks better in real life than the pictures. Everything you need is the villa, including washing machine. Decor was simple, practical and stylish. Spacious rooms and wonderfully functioning AC in all rooms. If you have very young children or have difficulty walking the stairs could be a problem, but not for us. The second bedroom is below ground which could be good to know, but there are windows. The pool was large, warm and so well kept. Pool keeper was there twice during our weekly stay. Lovely trees gave shade and the outdoor shower was an unexpected extra. Very nice communication with the super friendly owner. Location couldnt be better. Walking distance to bakery, small supermarket and the lovely beach with all cosy restaurants in Almyrida. Not to mention the splendid views over the olive trees and the mountains! We rented a car but wouldnt have needed to. Our children aged 9 and 13 said it was the best holiday ever and I can only agree.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023
