Amazing holiday home with great view and attention to detail

We had a very nice time in the villa. We particularly liked the view and the lighting in the garden in the evenings, as well as the small flock of sheep that regularly visited us in front of the garden. The roads to the villa are a bit adventurous, at least for Germans, but absolutely doable for experienced drivers.

Fabulous time in beautiful Crete

We had a fabulous holiday in this beautiful villa, the villa is stunning with everyone catered for, lots of space and stunning scenery, the road to teh villa is extremely bumpy and has to be seen to be believed, it did put us off going out for a few days but the villa is so lovely that wasn't a problem, communication with sotirios was fantastic nothing was too much trouble

Agricultural villa

We stayed for a week in this villa with 2 kids and 3 grownups. The villa is decent and in a good shape, almost all according to the pictures. If you are searching for a remote location with sheep bells in the evening, you will enjoy it. To be honest we underestimated remarks of other visitors about the roads to the villa: be prepared to very narrow steep roads made of concrete with sharp corners.

Really nice house for adults

We really liked our stay at Villa Stravorina. It is a very nice house with all the facilities you need and it was very clean. Nice bedrooms with a closet in every room. There are two bathrooms and 3 toilets. The living room is big enough for 8 people and there is a nice kitchen. The outdoor space is big and you have a very nice view over the mountain. There is a balcony on every floor and a nice porch in front of the house. It is quite a ride to the villa trough the mountains and super small village streets, so be aware you have a good car but not too big and some experience driving. The only negative point i can name: the beds are very hard.. If you have back problems or you are used to a softer bed it will be a bit uncomfortable. If you have any questions before your stay, it will take quite some time before you get an awnser. While our stay the communication was fine trough Whatsapp.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen und sehr erholsamen Urlaub in diesem tollen Haus auf Kreta. Wer Ruhe und Erholung abseits des Massentourismus sucht, ist hier genau richtig.Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft: wunderschöner Blick auf die Berge und das Meer, ein schöner Pool und ganz viel Ruhe. Abends kamen sogar Schafe und Ziegen an der Mauer des Hauses vorbei , auch die Geier, die wir beobachten konnten, waren beeindruckend.Nach einem Jahr voller Arbeit konnten wir hier wunderbar abschalten und die Ruhe genießen.Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Besonders gefreut haben wir uns über das Obst, Wasser und den Kaffee bei unserer Ankunft. Im Haus hat es uns an nichts gefehlt und auch die Küche war gut ausgestattet.Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist etwas anspruchsvoll und man sollte schon ein wenig Fahrgeschick mitbringen. Für uns war das aber kein Problem.An das Toilettenpapier, das nicht in die Toilette geworfen werden darf, mussten wir uns zunächst gewöhnen. Da dies auf Kreta aber vielerorts üblich ist, war es für uns nach kurzer Zeit völlig in Ordnung.Im nahegelegenen Dorf haben wir mehrmals in der Taverne ΣΤΟΥ ΚΙΜΩΝΑ sehr gut gegessen und uns auch dort sehr willkommen gefühlt.Wir haben uns im Haus und im Dorf rundum wohlgefühlt und hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit. An diesen besonderen Ort werden wir noch lange zurückdenken. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, la villa est très bien conforme à ce que nous nous attendions. La communication pour l’arrivé et le départ est fluide et facile. Le seul petit point noir est l’accès à la villa qui n’est pas le plus facile. Villa a recommandé

Perfekt familiebolig i rolige og pene omgivelser

Familien vår på 5 hadde en perfekt ferie i Villa Stravorina. Velholdt, ren og godt utstyrt, hadde selv Wii sport til barna! God plass, kunne vært plass til en liten familie i tillegg til oss. Veldig rolige omgivelser, godt unna masseturismen ved kysten. Likevel bare 10 min kjøring fra motorvei og 30 min unna Heraklion flyplass. Fantastisk utsikt. Supert med privat basseng. God og variert uteplass hvor vi kunne flytte på oss med sol og skygge. God kommunikasjon med vert, var pålitelig og viste interesse for at vi skulle få en fin ferie. Kommer gjerne tilbake til Villa Stravorina. Kan virkelig anbefales.

Agréable séjour

La villa est très agréable et bien aménagée. Elle est très adaptée pour recevoir deux familles, avec un espace chambres au 1er et un autre au rez-de-jardin. Seul bémol, l'accès est difficile (chemin étroit, pentu et caillouteux, mieux vaut avoir une voiture avec de bons amortisseurs mais pas trop grande)... et les plages "sympa" sont à près d'une demi-heure. L'environnement de la maison est très agréable : vue sur la montagne et des chèvres pour compagnie, très dépaysant !
