We stayed here for a week and it wasnt long enough. The villa is perfect on every aspect. Has everything you need for your stay. Will definitely return
If you are looking to de-stress and chill then Villa Miramare is the perfect place to do it.
You are just 10 minutes drive away from miles of sandy beaches, and same distance from the charming town of Giorgioupoli.
Kournas Lake is a stones throw away and its worth making the journey up the mountain to Kournas Village to visit Kali Kardia taverna.
The pool is a prefect size too - the pictures don't do it justice!
We hope to go back soon...
spent 2 weeks at Miramare in August, had a fabulous time. The pictures really don't do it justice. Spent many a lovely evening sat on the comfy chairs looking at the sea. Lovely aircon, perfect sized pool at 28C, great kitchen, quality WiFi. What more can you ask for?
Our holiday started when we drove up the hill towards Mathes. We were curious to see what the villa would look like in real life, and it exceeded our expectations. The villa and its breathtaking view were just wonderful! Everything was well-thought out, and even the little things were taken care of. The communication with George and Carolyn was very easy and they were quick to respond. The same goes for Eleni, who fixed a bathroom issue within less than 24 hours. Also, the very relaxing pool was taken care of perfectly by Christos. We enjoyed our stay at Villa Miramare and hope to come here again in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Villa Miramare, Crete
We have always loved Crete and have enjoyed many fantastic villa holidays here with our two children over the years. George is Greek and his family originates from Crete so we both feel a special bond to this island.
We always dreamt of having a home here one day and fell in love with Villa Miramare as soon as we first stood in the shade of the pergola and gazed across the natural wooded gorge towards the sea. We bought the house in 2018 and have since entirely landscaped the grounds and designed the pool to fully enjoy our spectacular views. We have made this our winter home so the house is very comfortable and well equipped; the garden is always sunny with lush planting but has shady spots ideal for outdoor summer living.
Villa Miramare is a tranquil and restorative place where you can really unwind and we are sure you will love it as much as we do!
Enjoy your stay! George & Carolyn
