Wonderful

All 6 of us much enjoyed our week's stay in this well-run, appointed and comfortable villa, tucked away, but well-placed for visiting the sights on the North Coast. Peter and Lena were attentive hosts, ensuring that we made the best of our all too brief stay. Would recommend to all.

Villa Zafira
Peter and Lena (wonderful people) met us and we followed them to the Villa which we would never have found without them - car definitely needed. Villa perfect, pool felt rather cold but cannot have been that bad because we got in it. Very peaceful location with views of countryside and sea in the distance. No tavernas or anything nearby so as I said earlier definitely need a car although Peter did say he could organise a taxi if needed. Peter and Lena were very helpful even providing some shopping for our arrival. Anyone visiting Crete we would recommend Villa Zafira. Thanks Peter and Lena you were brilliant xx

great villa for the family
Stayed for 14 days with my family, from the initial booking enquiry with Lena the booking was promptly confirmed . great directions from the airport had no problem meeting Peter who took us to the villa, showed us around and even took us to a nearby super market, very helpful. We had a couple of issues which were sorted out promptly by Peter who came daily to clean the pool, the villa was clean ,in a great location although a car is essential. It would have been great to meet Lena but we were looked after by Peter. I would highly recommend the villa for family breaks. I would like to suggest that one bedroom could do with having twin beds in as I have 2 boys who would sleep on a double bed.
Thank you very much Peter.
Regards
Dina

A wonderful holiday villa in beautiful setting
We have just got back from a perfect 10 day holiday in Crete. The island is beautiful with lots of fun things to do and the villa was everything we hoped for. It is decorated and furnished to a high standard with a stunning pool and garden area. The owners were really friendly and helpful with prompt replies to all my communications and available by text throughout our stay to answer queries. There was regular maid service and therefore the Villa was kept nice and clean. The owner also came to clean and refresh the pool every couple of days. We travelled with our three children and can't recommend this villa highly enough as a lovely family accommodation to stay in. My only recommendation is that a car is ideal ( which we were aware of in advance so came prepared!) as it is a bit of a way up a hill which would be hard to do daily if walking. It is very central and therefore a good base from which to explore the whole island. Thank you very much to Peter and Lena for letting us stay in your lovely villa!

Villa et propriétaire exceptionnels
Grande maison, propre au calme. Les propriétaires sont très gentils, très intentionnés et à l'écoute pour tous renseignements nécessaire. L'environnement est très calme et dépaysant, il faudra néanmoins une voiture pour les petites courses journalière. Nous y avons passez un agréable séjour en famille.

Can't wait to go back!
5 of us holidayed here last month and were thrilled with the villa. It was spacious, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The location offers privacy and is undisturbed by noise. The views are stunning. The beach is a short drive away and the nearest shops a 30 min walk or 5 min drive. You do need a car to stay here, but shops, restaurants etc are not far and are a cheap taxi ride.
The villa is well maintained with the pool cleaned each day and towels and bedding replaced half way through the week.
Peter and Lena were so helpful if we needed any advice.
One of our party uses a wheelchair and the property was ideal. Whilst not adapted for anyone with severe disability, there is ramp access, the doorways are wide and 2 of the bathrooms were accessible and we easily made provision to accommodate our friend.
We all enjoyed the setting and privacy. It was most comfortable and we all said that we would definitely visit again.

Villa Zafira
Villa Zafira is a perfect place to stay for families and friends. the villa is spacious air-conditioned and has a beautiful pool and patio area to relax. A car is required to to get to beaches and shops, however, the quiet location more than makes up for this. Lovely quiet beaches are close by and local restaurants are no more than 5 minutes drive. Nicely located to visit the historical sites. Peter Pispas is the perfect host and more than willing to advise on where to visit or eat. I wold have no hesitation in recommending the villa for a perfect family holiday.
