Amazing home with amazing views

We had a wonderful time in this lovely villa. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The property managers were great and responded to any problems or questions we had very promptly, we got a little lost trying to find the villa. There are so many places to eat around that area. Plaka is just down the road and offers quite a few restaurants and a little grocery store. We ate at Takis twice, such lovely people. A little further down is the beach town of Almyrida. We loved Crete and will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing stay for our 30th wedding anniversary!!!

Wonderful relaxing stay

We loved our week at this villa. The house has the most incredible views out over the sea and the distant mountains. It is well equipped and has air-conditioning in the bedrooms. The garden is beautifully maintained and is a pleasure to be in. Of special mention is the pool which is a brilliant size for really swimming around and doing laps in. Particularly useful is to have a little supermarket and a great Taverna just a few minutes walk away from the Villa. My husband and I would both recommend this villa very highly thank you Alain.

Great Villa, fantastic view

The Villa was just as advertised with a fantastic view, great pool, lots of places to sit and take it in, well equipped and very private. Also Michalis who managed it was excellent, helpful, responsive and very communicative, always felt like we had someone close by who could help and give advice on restaurants, shops, anything. He also came to find us when we couldn’t quite find the villa. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Spectacular view

The house was clean and well equipped. The location was spectacular with a beautiful view and close (within 2 miles) of several restaurants and markets. The property manager was available day or night. As a matter of fact, the property's driveway was difficult to find and the manager came out at 3:00 am to guide us in, which we weary travelers very much appreciated!

Perfect stay

From the start the experience was great. Michalis was waiting for us at the villa when we arrived. He took the time to walk us through the inside and outside of the villa and provided us with several dining and sightseeing options. We stayed for 6 nights. The wonderful villa acted as both a point from which to explore Crete and an oasis of relaxation, hanging out on the decks, chatting and taking in the beautiful views. The villa had everything we needed. We did not have to think about a thing. Just showed up and started relaxing. We had a car and that made getting to nearby villages and towns easy but a lovely tavern and mini market were only a short walk away (under 10 minutes). The whole experience was fantastic and would definitely stay again should we be fortunate to have another opportunity to visit Crete.

Superbe vue et piscine

L’emplacement est superbe et on peut profiter d’une vue unique sur la mer de la terrasse et de la piscine. Piscine vraiment très belle, très agréable et très propre. Les hics et bémols qui ternissent un peu la belle qualité de la villa : Les photos de l’annonce ne montrent pas une villa accolée sur l’arrière de la maison. Bruits réguliers en provenance de l’aéroport et la base aérienne de Chania. Le titre de l’annonce mentionne « maison neuve » ?? C’est plutôt une maison bien rénovée extérieurement mais avec des points noirs à l’intérieur sur certains équipements: climatisation vieille et faible, 2 stores cassés, odeurs salle de bain rdc, plaque de cuisson peu efficace, coussins fauteuils fatigués La maison propose malgré tout beaucoup d’équipements de qualité: transats, parasols, … et grand merci à Michalis pour l’accueil et toutes ses bonnes adresses de restaurants et de lieux à visiter ainsi que quelques attentions de bienvenue.

Séjour exceptionnel

Nous avons passé 2 semaines inoubliables. Magnifique région, les crétois sont très gentils et très accueillants. La maison correspond exactement aux photos. Les prestations sont carrément exceptionnelles. Magnifique piscine. La vue est fascinante, nous avons pu admirer des coucher de soleils à couper le souffle. Un grand merci à Michalis pour ses conseils, son dévouement, il a toujours répondu présent lorsque nous en avions besoin. Un grand merci au poolman pour sa gentillesse ainsi qu’aux femmes de ménage qui ont nettoyé la maison de fond en comble. En résumé : Un petit coin de paradis sur terre, nous reviendrons dès que possible.

Do we really have to leave?

From the moment we booked this beautiful property until the moment we reluctantly drove away on our way to the airport everything was perfect. The owner was extremely helpful, answering even the most unusual of questions (are there inflatables at the pool?!) quickly and warmly via email. Michalis, who manages the property locally could not have been more helpful. We got lost finding the villa and rather than try and describe the location to us, he drove and found us and accompanied us to the property! Once we knew where it was, we didn’t get lost again though, as it’s not actually that hard to find once you know where you’re going. The villa itself is lovely. Spotlessly clean, spacious, and with views that are simply breathtaking. The pool is a great size and there’s nothing quite like swimming along whilst looking out across the bay - sublime! And the sunsets…It’s as though they’re being put on especially for the villa! Unreal. The landscaping of the gardens is stunning, with beautiful fruit trees, olive groves and the kind of planting reminiscent of the tropics. It all made for the perfect place to relax on the days when we weren’t out sightseeing. We hired a car at the airport and I would definitely recommend it. We used carrental.com and got a great deal with Hertz. Keep checking the prices after you’ve booked though, as a week before we flew, I managed to cancel and rebook the exact same car for £160 less! We drove to the beach and restaurants at Almyrida, 10 minutes away from the villa, several times, and we paid a couple of visits to Chania old town and Rethymno, both of which are well worth visiting. A highlight was a day at Elafonisi beach - stunning clear water and pink sand. It’s a 2 hour drive from the villa, the last hour of which is a bit challenging at times, along winding mountain roads. We left the villa at 7:40am and arrived by 9:40, by which time the beach was already starting to fill up, but we were able to get 4 sunbeds right on the shoreline - plus we could take photos of the sea without anyone in it! An hour or so later and the beach was full, and people were struggling to find sunbeds. Parking was free and sunbeds were €15 for 2. Cretan drivers can be intimidating at first, but once you accept that it’s normal for them to overtake you on the ‘motorway’ (don’t expect more than one lane!) you get used to it. We had an amazing holiday and can’t recommend this villa highly enough!

MOYEN

Villa ne correspond pas au descriptif La pisicne est dangereuse les escaliers pour y accéder ne sont pas antidérapends ce qui est dangereux (ayant moi moi meme une piscine) je me suis foulée la cheville Le propirétaire indique qu'il a des chaines françaises, ce qui faux il y avait juste deux chaines d'info et pour les enfants moins que dans les hôtels. ce qui peut induire en erreur les touristes français, le propriétaire n'a pas essayé de trouver une solution malgré l'intervention de son manager sur place qui ne connaissait pas la TV et mon insistance Villa non moderne mais la vue est caché par des villas en constructions. Villa loin de tout, il faut mieux louer pour ce prix une villa près des stations balnéaires. Je ne reviendrai pas dans cette villa

The greatest view ever

This is an amazing property and I wouldn't hesitate returning. The view is simply outstanding, the pictures can't do it justice. All the facilities are great and the pool is beautiful and bigger than you think. Of course it's hot in Crete, but the hillside location means there's a nice breeze most of the time. The sound of the cicadas is almost deafening when you first get there, but you soon get used to it. You need a car to stay there and the roads are a little rocky in places, but nothing to worry about. Kokkino Chorio has a handy little shop, as does Plaka. The restaurants are OK in Plaka, but I prefer Almyrida which is just 5 mins further away by car. Great comms with Alain and also the property manger Michalis who lives next door and is really helpful. Thoroughly recommend this place.
