Villa Anna is in a fantastic location. It's a few minutes walk from Hersonissos old town, which is a lovely square featuring a number of tavernas. It's also easy to get a taxi to the port area (we used the Freenow app). The villa is new and is of a very high standard. It is spacious, clean, comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. It was cleaned twice a week for us. In addition to large living areas it has a fantastic pool area and a large pool. The host was friendly and helpful. It's the nicest villa we've stayed in. We hope to visit again.

Exceeded Expectations!

Our 2 week stay at Villa Anna was better that we could have ever hoped for. We travelled with 4 adults and 3 Children under 9, the Villa is huge so we had plenty of room and everything you could possibly need for your holiday. Immaculate throughout and without doubt one of the best Villas' we've ever stayed in, the owners were brilliant and communicated perfectly, checking in regularly to ensure we were ok. Thank you Stelios & Carolina for a wonderful holiday, we hope to see you again at some point in the future!

Fantastic villa, great location

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The property owners Carolina and Stelios were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed, including a lovely food parcel on arrival. The villa itself was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with everything we needed. It's really spacious with plenty of room for 8. The garden and pool area were also very well kept and the pool itself is a good size. There are sun loungers with parasols for 8 and outdoor seating and eating areas. There's a barbecue and we were provided with charcoal. There's a large private gated driveway at the front of the house with parking for several cars. The location in Old Hersonissos is perfect. Its on the edge of the village but only a 5 minute walk to the lovely town square which has a couple of bars and several excellent tavernas. The main resort of Hersonissos on the coast is a 5 minute drive or 10 euro taxi ride. There are also some lovely beaches nearby and Heraklion and Knossos are around 25 minutes drive. Overall we absolutely loved staying in this property. The combination of the space and quality of the villa and the location was perfect for us. Definitely worthy of 5/5 stars.

Lovely Villa, great loctaion.

Fantastic villa in a great location. Only 5 minutes walk to the village square with many tavernas offering excellent food and great atmosphere. Stelios and Carolina greeted us with a welcome pack which was a lovely surprise and a great start to the holiday. The villa very large and spotless (cleaned twice a week) and the pool area beautiful with great views of the sea (also from the upstairs balcony). Highly recommend this villa to anyone going to Crete.

Dream Villa in beautiful village

Villa Anna is simply stunning. We now have family in Old Hersonnisos and have had a wonderful stay. The impeccable Villa is in a quiet location close to a traditional village square and to the National road for exploring further afield. Carolina and Stelios are very responsive hosts.

Very nice house and hosts. A private oasis in the old city. Central location, yet secluded. All the other positive reviews are correct! Walking distance to nice square with good restaurants including Taverna Harakas, rated #1 in Hersonissoss (tripadvisor). Book in advance.

Fantastic villa for great holiday

We are a family of 8 people (including 6 teenagers) and we really super-enjoyed our stay at Villa Anna: a very nice, spacious, air-conditioned villa with a great swimming pool and 'indoor entertainment'. The hosts (Stelios & Carolina) are the best and (did) do everything to get the best holiday! Brilliant!!

Best holiday ever

The Villa was beautiful- even better than the pictures show. The owner, Stelios, was a wonderful host- nothing was too much trouble. The villa was cleaned with fresh towerls every 3rd day and a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us when we arrived- so thoughtful. Villa really well located for the lovely bars and restaurants in the old village. We would definitely go back to this Villa- looking forward to our return already!

Been to Villa Anna a few times now and still am in awe of how perfect it is for my family.

The owner Stelios met us at the property with his lovely warm smile and friendly manner. Throughout our stay he was at the end of the phone to sort out any little problems instantly if required.The villa is perfect for family or couples alike. Just a short walk from the old town to lots of lovely Tavernas and shops. The local bakeries provide a wonderful array of delicious pastries and bread. Lovely sized pool and sunbathing area complete with sun loungers. Will definitely be coming back again.

Great house, great location, great owners!

We loved our stay at Villa Anna! This is a beautiful, clean and comfortable house. The owner was especially attentive and helpful! Our kids loved the pool and the yard. The location is terrific, close enough to walk into the village for morning coffee and sweets or dinner at one of the wonderful restaurants. There were 6 of us who enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas and the well equipped kitchen. Delightful! Would definitely like to come back!

Well appointed house with everything to make your holiday easy

Villa Anna is in a quiet spot near a small village with many restaurants and shops for all your needs. Likewise, it is conveniently located close to the main road making it a perfect base for day trips to beaches and sights. We enjoyed the pool and the barbecue for evening dinners. Stellios and Carolina are terrific hosts, bringing us fresh figs and letting us pick tomatoes from their garden. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to anyone looking for a family holiday rental.

Best holiday ever!

We stayed in Villa Anna for 7 nights. First observations were that the photos shown in now way did the villa justice. The villa itself is huge and very open plan with lots of modern furnishings and all mod cons. We stayed as a group of 8 each with our own bed and plenty of space in the villa. Highlights of the property included the table tennis room and the large pool, also mid-week the villa received a full clean from top to bottom with fresh sheets and a mopping.The villa is situated about 30min walk from the nearest beach however if you didn’t want to walk the taxi service in Crete is unbelievably efficient and insanely cheap. Overall a fantastic week in Chersonissos, made even better by top quality service. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Amazing Villa spacious spotless and owners couldn't have been more helpful

Had an amazing two weeks family holiday in Crete at this beautiful villa, the villa had everything!! Stunning Pool area with BBQ, tastefully decorated throughout we would recommend this villa and hopefully will return!! The owners Stelios and Carolina were very welcoming and helpful and always on hand if needed. The villa was a 2 minute walk to Old Hersonnisos village which was stunning lots of traditional tavernas, bakery, and village inn, all restaurants were gorgeous food could not be faulted. 5 minute taxi drive to Hersonnisos harbour and more lively bars too. Crete is a beautiful island and has the best of everything to cater for all tastes.

Lovely, clean,spacious,well kept holiday home. Well maintained gardens and bonus of a veg patch.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the spacious Villa Anna. It was well appointed and beautifully maintained. The pool was enjoyed by all family members throughout the holiday, providing many hours of fun and games. On our only wet day the table tennis in the basement provided enough entertainment to forget about the weather. Secluded and private however close to shops and tavernas.( walking distance. Stelios (owner) was the perfect host and always only a phone call away. We will definitely be coming back.

This is a beautiful villa that far exceeded our expectations.

So pleased with the villa and the location. The villa is situated within the old village of Hersonissos. A very short walk from a selection of traditional restaurants and small shops. The coastal resort of Hersonissos was only a 40 minute walk away and we probably walked down to the coast most days. There are a further 2 villages in the hills above the coast all within easy walking distance of Hersonissos so there is plenty of choice for drinks and food. We were a group of 6 adults, Mum, Dad, our sons and their partners. The villa was spacious and offered plenty opportunities for us all to sit together or separately. We thought we would eat in the villa most nights as we had a BBQ and lovely outdoor seating areas but we tended to walk into the village and visited the restaurants. I think we managed to visit all 10 restaurants in the village and enjoyed them all. We were never disappointed with food choices throughout the holiday. Stelios was so attentive and invited us to pick fruit from his orchard and vegetable plot. We felt as though we were truly able to experience Cretan culture at first hand. Staff in the restaurants and coffee shops were also very friendly and welcoming towards tourists. We hired cars to see a bit more of the island but if you didn't want to do that there are plenty of little shops in the coastal resort offering trips. There were also 4 bicycles at the villa. Our eldest son and his partner cycled to the resort of Malia - not as pretty as the villages here but they enjoyed the cycle. The villa is spotlessly clean with Stelios and his assistant maintaining the pool and grounds, cleaning the inside of the villa and changing linen and towels every three days. This is one of the best holidays we have experienced and we would love to come back. Would certainly recommend this property and the island of Crete. The Wilsons, Aberdeen

Lovely villa in a quiet location

I have to say that the service we received from stelios and Carolina was excellent! communications were excellent, the villa was beautiful and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! There are lovely little tavernas just a 5 minute walk away, we hired a car and ventured to the coast which was a 10 minute drive, we enjoyed the restaurants along the beach at night, just for a change of scenery. Thank you for all your help stelios and accommodating for our baby with a cot and high chair.

Don't look any further

The seven of us visited last week (4 generations, 2-78) and we were ALL blown away by the villa, the owner and the area. Everything we needed for a family holiday was within reach, and Stelios even took us out on his boat to catch our own fish for the barbeque ! Monday night at Zachos in the square was an experience not to forget and we will return to Villa Anna ! Thank you Stelios (and Carolina)

Fabulous villa in great location

The villa was comfortable and very tastefully furnished. Amazing gardens including a veg patch where we picked tomatoes figs lemons and cucumbers each day. Owners exceptionally friendly and helpful. location ideal as few 100 metres to very attractive village with a selection of tavernas and grocers and bread shop. Few kms to seafront and main town of Hersonnisus. Big drive way with electric gates so parking easy. I would recommend this villa for its high standard of furnishing and facilities, for the friendly owners and their personal touches and its location in relation to the village and sea front and easy access to main roads for visiting other parts of Crete.

We built the villa for ourselves with much love.

We have the pleasure to invite you to this wonderful villa and we will do everything possible to make you have wonderful holidays.

Why they chose this property

This is the best choice for a family or a group of friends and have a great time.

What makes this property unique

We fall in love with the village of Old Chersonissos, because it's a typical, beautiful little Village.
The Villa is located in a peaceful area, 500 m from the main square, where you can find several restaurants, mini-market, pharmacy and bakery. During the high season, in the square is normally organised a "Cretan Night" with music and dancing.
Old Chersonissos is only 21 km from Heraklion, 3 km from the sea and from a bigger village.
