Friends holidaying together

Villa Theano was just perfect for a group of seven friends. The size and spaciousness was just perfect. All aspects of the interior were exceptional. The kitchen was so very well equipped. So much was supplied, over and above our expectations. The cleaning service was thorough mid week. The external facilities were great in such exceptional heat. Shade and awnings were welcomed as well as the pool, ( perhaps a handle to support you down the steps of the pool would be useful ). All bedrooms and bathrooms were well equipped with good air conditioning. Added extras such as slippers and hotel dressing gowns were a lovely surprise. As for our welcoming pack, that was magnificent as well as the lovely baclava that Patra brought when she came to organise a tour for us. Much appreciated on arrival, especially as we were a taxi ride from supermarkets, so that helped us when we first arrived until we settled in. Communication and support from our hosts, Antonis and Patra was very professional and prompt. Their recommendations for the area, taxi services, restaurants and tours were fantastic and we enjoyed our experiences whilst staying in Agios Nikolaos. A great holiday and sincere thanks to them both for looking after us so well.

Spectacular

This really was a most magical stay. The location and setting of the property are breathtakingly beautiful. The apartment has everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The view from the apartment stretches directly across the infinity pool seamlessly blending with the sea below. That is quite something to wake up to! The outside terrace is huge and totally private. The pool is a perfect size and at this time of year we opted to have it heated - which was well worth it. Check in and out were easy as the owner, Stavia provides a very comprehensive info document and responded to any queries (eg directions to places) quickly. The weather was utterly glorious apart from one day of blustery winds. We cannot recommend the property highly enough - and we can’t wait to be back.

A beautiful holiday

Staying at Fissi Villas for 11 nights made for a very special family trip. The hosts Yanna and Yannis are wonderfully warm and thoughtful hosts who made us feel completely welcomed in Crete. Yanna helped us with all our arrangements regarding our late night arrival, and was there to meet us after our long journey, and had generously provided us with food ready for the morning, as well as a liberal supply of their delicious organic olive oil. The house is immaculately clean and extremely well provided with equipment and thoughtful touches. But it is the wonderful terrace with its sea view, where we spent our favourite time at the house, reading, eating, and the children playing in the play area. The nearby beaches are wonderful for swimming and our oldest son did lots of walking in the hills nearby. Yanna gave us great recommendations for visiting monasteries and villages where we could get meals in tavernas. When there was a difficulty with a blown fuse Yanna and Yannis sprang into action to get it fixed and could not have been more helpful as hosts. The gardens of the 2 villas are full of trees and plants, so the setting is really beautiful. There is some light traffic noise from the road, but the house is set back from the road, protected by trees and raised up the hillside, so the view is of the sea, and the road sounds are mostly drowned out by the sounds of cicadas! Good air conditioning in bedrooms. Thank you Yanna and Yannis for an idyllic time in friendly Crete!
