Athina House

We had a perfect holiday in beautiful Crete and Athina House. Thank you for your generous welcome gifts on the table and for the surprise box of treats during our second week. Stunning, quiet and peaceful. Kept beautifully clean for the whole fortnight. Thank you for your most interesting history about your home and it’s contents. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful village of Achrontiki, people were very friendly and helpful as we did not speak Greek.

Luxury Villa, Nikos (our host) grew up in the Villa, his mother lives in the village and rescued us when we locked our keys inside and his father brought us firewood when we ran out. We enjoyed a fire every night to rest our weary bones after a rainy day on the motorcycles along with the roof top jacuzzi - open the roof for a starlight soak!. Crete is amazing, beautiful and a pleasure to travel in, everyone was so helpful... the food everywhere was sooooo good, fresh and local ... we all gained weight! I would recommend this Villa in fact we stayed an extra night because it was so easy to arrange rides, eat great local meals or just relax inside, great kitchen and living room to chill out in.

6/10 Okay

Bien pour 4 voire 6

La villa Athina est un savant mélange entre tradition et modernité, dans un petit village typique crétois. Nous avons été cependant déçus par la réalité de la villa : odeurs d'humidité dans la chambre parentale du bas, chambres sans fenêtre, une chambre sans toilette (donc besoin de monter à l'étage), globalement peu fonctionnel et pas adapté pour 8 personnes, des relations pas idéales avec les hôtes (dont la barrière de la langue). Perfectible !

Maison très spacieuse et joliment restaurée et décorée !

Très bon accueil du propriétaire , jeune et sympathique ! Maison très agréable avec deux grandes terrasses ! VIllage très bien situé , à seulement 4 km de la nationale . Par contre les chiens du village aboient la nuit , donc sommeil perturbé .

Superbe villa

Luxueuse villa avec Jacuzzi sur le toit dans un petit village Crétois, avec une superbe vue sur les montagnes et la mer au loin... Magique ! Propriétaire très sympa et disponible. A 10 minutes en voiture de la mer. Possibilité de se faire livrer de bons repas par le Restaurant Le Cactus (Episcopi). A recommander sans hésitation !!!
