子供の安全のための☀️NOTの見逃し☀️Gatedプライベートプール

Thanks Pat, we like villa Asteria as it has a lovely big patio area and is not overlooked!

Thanks Kevan, we are very pleased you enjoyed our Villa Asteria. It has a lovely private aspect in a corner of our olive grove with views out over the olive trees. Please come back soon!

Thanks Richard, the gated pool is something we think is very important for guests with children.

Thank you Mike for your kind words. We like to have variable pricing depending on the group size, so making our villas cost-effective for couples as well as big family groups of up to 8 in 4 double/twin bedrooms. Larger families could book two villas together, accommodating up to 16 people in very comfortable style. We hope you visit us again soon.

Thanks Amanda! Some of the smaller restaurants inland are very good value, such as Monicas Taverna in Gavalochory

Thanks for the excellent review Caroline. We chose the location very carefully - we wanted to be in a peaceful place but within an easy walk of the local villages. We put a lot of thought into the design of our villas, based on how we and our own families like to go on holiday and the facilities we look for. The fully gated pools are a good example, these were designed to help with child safety - something that you will not easily find in other villas across the island. And the distinguishing feature is the authentic colours and textures we have used in the unique decor of the houses. All of the wooden 'driftwood' effect fixtures and fittings are hand-built by Marcus, one of the owners, with colours anf fabric styled by his wife Kirsty. It is an ongoing process - we make little improvements and upgrades every year. Your were excellent guests and we would love to see you retirn soon. Bring more friends - you know the villas are big enough! You can follow us on Facebook to see what we get up to during the olive harvest in November, and many other things.

Thanks for your lovely review Helen, I think you nailed it with the perfect description of our lovely Villa Asteria in Crete: close enough to enjoy village life but far enough away to get some peace and quiet! We hope to see you again soon.

Thanks Lynne, you definitely gain a lot by renting a car, though the taxi service is very good

It is important to us that the villas are peaceful and quiet and we have designed the villas so that the pools are not visible to each other. About 4 years ago we planted 32 olive trees between the houses which have improved screening.

Thank you for your review Jean, you were excellent guests and I have scored you 5 stars for every level.

Thanks jo, much appeciated

Merci Michael!

Merci Heloise!

Katherine and her family really made the most of their holiday in Crete, making daily excursions to the wonderful places in the local area but also spending quality time relaxing by the pool and enjoying the beautiful White Mountains. We welcome them back any time.

Many thanks for your review. Villa Asteria has an excellent location, and is not overlooked and its position in the olive grove means it has the most privacy of our 4 villas. When we redecorated in early 2019 we added some quirky, hand-made touches which we think add considerably to the relaxing ambience of the house. It is indeed a great place to unwind! For 2020 we will be adding a large poolside pergola with extra shade and this will make the place even more attractive.

Many thanks for your review and thanks for staying with us. The peace and quiet is a key part of a stay with us but you are never far from food or drink

Thanks Lindsay! We'd welcome you back to stay again this year!

Thanks for your review. It was quite hot when you arrived so we are not surpised you too the sensible option of the taxi! Regarding the cleanliness, you will recall that Marcus (one of the owners) met you on the day of your arrival and you discussed your concerns and these were addressed within 24 hours. There was indeed an oversight on the cleaning on that occasion but our manager came to make good very shortly after you reported it, and I believe all was well for the remainder of your stay. As you will be aware there had been some building work going on in the olive grove opposite your villa and this plus the extra traffic kicking up dust from the unsurfaced access road at the side has contributed to an environment that is dustier than normal (the other villas, being further away, don't seen to have this issue). As to the furnishings, I believe you are referring to some sun loungers and sun umbrellas around the pool. We sent some away for recovering at the time of your visit and I can confirm that these are now ready to be installed once we collect from the pool shop in Kalyves. We are glad you have an overall enjoyable experience and you'd be welcome to return and hopefully enjoy the fresh new furnishings!

We are delighted to be welcoming these guests back later this summer. The views really are wonderful and ability to relax and enjoy the views is a very important part of the holiday experience.

The peace and quiet is a key part of the experience of staying at the villa and our location surrounded by mountains does allow guests to relax. When you are ready for a lunch or evening dinner there are some wonderful tavernas nearby.

Our local manager Mark and his wife June are a real asset. As well as looking after the villa and pool they have a very deep knowledge of Crete and advise guests on great places to visit around the island and wonderful local restaurants
