We had the pleasure of staying at this magnificent villa with our family, and it exceeded all our expectations. The owners gave us a wonderful welcome with a basket full of fresh fruit and vegetables. The refrigerator was generously stocked with water, beer, wine, ham, cheese, and even coffee for breakfast. The villa was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and everything felt brand new. It was equipped with every comfort imaginable, from slippers and vanity kits to pool towels and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need to cook. The pool area also features an excellent sound system, making it even more enjoyable to relax outdoors. Every bedroom has air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable stay. The beach is just a five-minute walk away—a beautiful, peaceful stretch of coastline with very few visitors. There’s also a charming little restaurant nearby (closed on Mondays) where you can enjoy simple, authentic, and delicious lunches or dinners. It was truly a wonderful experience, made even more special by the kindness, generosity, and helpfulness of the villa owners. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable holiday.

The house exceeded all our expectations. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything we needed was available. When we arrived, we were welcomed with fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil from the hosts’ own farm, and plenty of water for the first few days, which was a lovely touch. The house is beautiful, with a great pool and an outdoor kitchen, and it’s only a one-minute walk to the beach. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

Μείναμε 7 άτομα στη βίλα και η εμπειρία μας ήταν πραγματικά εξαιρετική. Ο χώρος ήταν πεντακάθαρος, ευρύχωρος και πολύ προσεγμένος, με όμορφη διακόσμηση και όλες τις παροχές που θα μπορούσε να ζητήσει κανείς. Από πλήρως εξοπλισμένη κουζίνα με κέρασμα μέχρι και προσωπικά είδη με μικρές λεπτομέρειες που κάνουν τη διαφορά. Η πισίνα ήταν άψογη και απόλυτα καθαρή, ενώ ο εξωτερικός χώρος με το BBQ ήταν πλήρως οργανωμένος (υπήρχαν μέχρι και κάρβουνα και ξύλα, κάτι που σπάνια βρίσκεις!). Οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν άψογοι — ευγενικοί, άμεσοι στην επικοινωνία και πρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε. Μάλιστα, μας επέτρεψαν, εφόσον δεν τους πίεζε άλλη κράτηση εκείνη την μέρα, να παρατείνουμε το check-out χωρίς επιπλέον κόστος, κάτι που εκτιμήσαμε ιδιαίτερα. Συνολικά, πρόκειται για ένα κατάλυμα που ξεπερνά τις προσδοκίες. Το προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα και σίγουρα θα το επιλέγαμε ξανά!

Amazing house and extraordinary host

We had an amazing time! The house is incredible. It is very clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The location in a quiet neighborhood near the beach is perfect. Especially worth mentioning is the host Stelios. He was extremely friendly and always available to help and answer all of our questions. Thank you very much, Stelios ! We will definitely return !

Sehr angenehmes Erlebnis:)

9.0

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, sehr ruhig , sehr komfortabel mit Pool und allem was man benötigt . Unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe, sehr freundlicher Empfang mit leckerem Honig, Kaffee kaltem Wasser im Kühlschrank , Obst und vielem mehr. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Der naheliegende Strand ist zwar groß und schön , hat aber große plattenformige Steine , die der Eingang ins Meer schwer machen . Besonders für Kinder bieten sich andere naheliegende Strände an , die man mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichen kann .

Magnifico soggiorno a sud di Creta!!!!

10.0

Villa lussuosa vicino al mare, dotata di ogni comfort. Molto pulita. Posizione comoda al centro sud di Creta che permette di raggiungere agevolmente diverse spiagge. Al nostro arrivo il proprietario Stelios ci ha fatto trovare una ricca colazione continentale con diversi prodotti dolci e salati, un cesto di frutta, olio e miele di ottima qualità. Inoltre si è reso sempre disponibile ad offrirci suggerimenti su spiagge e ristoranti da visitare. Piscina pulita ogni due giorni e zona esterna arredata con cucina in pietra con barbecue e forno! Abbiamo trascorso davvero un magnifico soggiorno!
