The photos are stunning and the place is even better. A beautiful property that is so well looked after and clearly a labour of love from the owners rather than just a business. There was plenty of room for our family seven and a nice layout to the place. Every little detail throughout had been well considered and everything was of a really high spec. Well above and beyond what we could have hoped. The pool on the roof a great addition to take the edge off the Cretan summer. The owners personally greeted us, were very friendly and made us feel so welcome. Can’t thank them enough for their hospitality. Kournas is lovely too. Very small and peaceful but still has three good tavernas within about a minute’s walk from the property. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Review for stay from 17 August 2024 to 31 August 2024

Our stay in the villa Mirage was excellent. The hosts were very acommodating and as flexible as possible regarding our arrival and leaving times. The villa was cleaned twice per week and was decorated tastefully and with all modern amenities while still fitting into the local mountain villiage setting. Especially the host's hospitability with attention to detail made our stay in Kournas memorable. The little village has 3 good taverns and considering that in combination with the pool on the roof terrace, you wouldn't have to leave the house to have a good day! However, the location is great to explore several beaches within a 10-15 minutes drive, as well as lake Kournas or go hikes into the mountain area . It was easy to reach within 1 hour from Chania (inkl. their airport) and also Rethymno was only half an hour drive away. So yes, you need a car, but with a car the location is really good.

Wir haben Anfang September einen Familienurlaub( 5 Personen) in der Villa Mirage gemacht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Ausstattung der Unterkunft. Die Zimmer waren sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und überraschte uns mehrfach mit leckeren Köstlichkeiten. Des Weiteren gab sie uns einige Anregungen für Ziele in der näheren Umgebung. In der direkten Nähe gibt es einen Bäcker und 3 Tarvernen. Es war ein rundum schöner Familien Urlaub den wir bestimmt wiederholen werden.

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans cette villa en Crète. Tout était parfait : la maison est très propre, confortable et particulièrement calme, dans un village typique et authentique, loin de l’agitation touristique. L’emplacement est idéal, proche de nombreux endroits magnifiques à découvrir, tout en permettant de profiter pleinement du calme et de l’atmosphère crétoise. Un grand merci également aux propriétaires, qui sont adorables, chaleureux, disponibles et toujours prêts à aider et à donner de bons conseils. Leur gentillesse a vraiment contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus agréable. Nous recommandons cette villa sans hésitation et y retournerions avec grand plaisir !

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa and can highly recommend it. The villa has been beautifully renovated from traditional stone, combining authentic Cretan charm with every modern comfort. It is spotlessly clean, extremely well organized, and features a lovely private pool on the terrace, perfect for relaxing. The village itself is charming and calme, with a few excellent traditional tavernas, and is ideally located just 10 minutes from both Lake Kournas and the sea. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. They welcomed us with a selection of local products on our arrival. These thoughtful touches made our stay even more special. We would not hesitate to stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional villa to anyone visiting Crete.

Just got back from our holiday in Kournas and our stay at Villa Mirage. Wow, what a stay this was! This villa is really superb! Not only well equipped but this fact also done in absolute good style and taste! Everything is in order and thus will make your stay an unforgetable one; not in the least due to the very friendly and guest orientated hosts who made us with their attitude more than welcome in their villa. They provide you too with tips etc about what to do in this area of Crete.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à la villa Mirage. Très belle maison à la propreté impeccable avec tout le nécessaire, idéalement située pour explorer la région (point de départ de nombreuses randonnées) et à quelques minutes en voiture du lac de Kournas et des plages. Possibilité de se restaurer sur place dans les quelques très bonnes tavernes que compte le village. La maison offre de beaux espaces extérieurs pour profiter du soleil et de la vue sur mer et sur l’arrière pays. Une mention particulière à nos hôtes d’une extrême gentillesse et à l’écoute tout au long de notre séjour. Une hospitalité rare appréciée de toute la famille. Un grand merci pour votre accueil, vos conseils et vos attentions qui nous ont beaucoup touchés.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen und haben uns in dem Ferienhaus sofort wohl gefühlt. Der Service und die Unterkunft waren super und ich kann sie auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Villa encore mieux qu’en photo ! Tout était parfait : localisation, confort, qualité de l’hébergement. La piscine est de taille adéquate, tout ce qu’il faut pour se détendre après une journée de découverte de cette splendide région! Literie de haute qualité, finitions parfaites de l’hébergement et équipements au top ! Un vrai bijou super bien entretenu et qui dispose de tout le confort dont on apprécie la présence en voyage ! La localisation dans le village tranquille de kournas est un énorme plus : tranquillité et bienveillance assurées ! Les tavernes à proximité sont épatantes ! Nos hôtes étaient charmants et au petit soin, l’accueil chaleureux a été hautement apprécié. Les échanges étaient fluides et d’une rare bienveillance. C’est de loin la meilleure expérience de voyage que nous ayons eu! Je recommande à 300%. Si nous devions retourner en Crète, c’est ici que nous reviendrions sans hésiter.

Review for stay from 09 July 2025 to 16 July 2025

Die Villa war wirklich sehr sehr schön. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich mit Willkommens Grüßen wie Obst und Wein. Einen eigenen Parkplatz gibt es auch! Der wlan Empfang war etwas langsam… Empfang gab es nur selten also wer wirklich abschalten will, kann es hier. Was uns etwas gefehlt hat waren die Küchengeräte… davon hätten wir mehr und in größeren Varianten gebraucht. z.b. ein Nudelsieb das 1kg Nudeln auffangen kann, oder eine Zitronenpresse. Die Zimmer waren traumhaft schön eingerichtet was uns da gefehlt hat war einen (großer Spiegel) wir konnten unsere Outfits leider nicht ganz betrachten. Ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt! die Sonnenuntergänge sind traumhaft schön von der Terrasse zu beobachten. Am Ende gab es noch ein kleines Abschiedsgeschenk, was uns wirklich sehr gefreut hat.

Wir hatten Ende Oktober eine herrliche Woche auf Kreta und haben den Aufenthalt in der Villa sehr genossen. In der Realität ist die Villa noch schöner als auf den Fotos und liegt verwinkelt in einer autofreien Seitengasse, sodass es sehr ruhig ist. Von der großzügigen Dachterrasse aus hat man einen sehr schönen Blick über das Dörfchen und auch aufs Meer. Der Blick vom Pool auf die angrenzenden Berge ist ebenso malerisch. Unsere Gastgeber waren unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Danke dafür! In der Taverne im Dorf kann man lecker essen und morgens gibt es frisches Brot vom Bäcker.

Kurzfassung: perfekt! längere Version: es war perfekt! Die Eigentümer haben uns rechtzeitig eine genaue Wegbeschreibung gesendet und haben uns sehr herzlich und mit Geschenken empfangen. Sie sind unglaublich lieb und sind jederzeit für Rat und Tat bereit! Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und super sauber! Anders als in der Beschreibung angegeben, gibt es sogar einen privaten Parkplatz. Während unseres Aufenthalts wurde die Villa einmal komplett gereinigt und alle Handtücher ausgetauscht. Wir wurden sogar mit einem selbst gebackenen Kuchen überrascht. Als es nun leider an den Abschied ging, waren beide wieder vor Ort, unglaublich freundlich und mit Abschiedsgeschenken für uns ausgestattet. Wir können die Villa und auch den Kournas See nur empfehlen.! Danke das wir da sein durften! :) Und empfehlen auch allen bei der Taverne Kali Kardia, ein paar Meter entfernt, essen zu gehen! Es schmeckt unglaublich, ist extrem günstig entgegen der Touristen Restaurants und alle sind sooo freundlich!
