Really nicely designed villa with plenty of interior space, a superb view, a great infinity pool (although cold weather meant we only got to use it once), and a very good choice of restaurants within very easy walking distance. Perfect

Villa Sfinari is one of our favourite holiday bookings ever. The house is fantastic, very well equipped with everything you need, tastefully decorated, and comfortable The pool is great, long enough to swim lengths. It's a super view, looking out over the sea - great for watching sunsets. The cleaning service, two times per week both indoor and out, meant the villa stayed tidy and we always had clean linens. Both Giorgos, during the booking process, and Vassilis during our stay couldn't have been more helpful. The welcome dinner after a full day's travel was delicious! We especially enjoyed the 5-10 minute stroll down to the beach tavernas for grilled fish; especially Thalami and Sunset Fish Restaurant.

Amazing villa, fantastic holiday
Villa is as gorgeous as the photos show, with fabulous sea views. George and Vassilis we’re both very helpful in booking and arrival, with much appreciated welcome pack waiting for us after the journey. A few minutes walk down to the beach tavernas and amazing sunsets from villa or beach. The pandemic has obviously reduced tourists this year but I’m so glad it didn’t put us off, the local tavernas need our support, we always felt welcomed and safe. Enjoyed Sfinari, Kissamos, and the amazing Falassarna beach. Didn’t enjoy the windy hillside roads so much but take your time and enjoy the view. We’d certainly come here again!

Wow! What a villa. The views are amazing - 180 degrees of the sea. The house is very well appointed and super clean. We had all the mod-cons including cooking and washing and the hosts are so kind and helpful. We were welcomed with a generous hamper of goodies including fresh fruit, wine and a lovely home cooked meal. The villa is in a very quiet village and it close to excellent beaches. There are a number of beach tavernas nearby offering fresh fish. The infinity pool is lovely to cool off. The beds are very comfortable - can't say this very every place we have stayed. Can't find a fault anywhere. Really enjoyed our time here.

Modern villa in quiet location
Modern villa in quiet location
Beautifully maintained villa in a quiet location, a short walk to the pebble beach where there are tavernas. The beach is quiet as sandy beaches nearby are more popular and beach not suitable for small children. Terrace faces due west, so sunsets are fantastic, only downside to this is that there is little shade on the terrace after mid afternoon.

Beautiful villa in a great location
Beautiful villa in a great location
The villa has everything you need for a really comfortable stay. It is clean and modern with two lovely en-suite bathrooms, well equipped kitchen and comfortable living room. The pool is great, with a wonderful view of the bay below with amazing sunsets.
The drive from Chania airport is straightforward and Kissamos, the nearest town with large supermarkets, shops, cafes and restaurants/bars is about 20 minutes away.
The villa is in the lovely quiet village of Sfinari - all you can hear are the waves and the local sheep. It’s a ten minute walk down the hill to the small beach with 3 tavernas and free sun beds and a five minute walk up to the village centre with 3 more tavernas and a couple of shops. We had lovely meals and such friendly service at Antonio’s on the village road and also from Yiannis and his family at the Thalami taverna on the beach that we didn’t really eat anywhere else, although all of the restaurants have had good reviews from other guests. We loved the shingle beach which was never crowded and, although we drove to the famous and beautiful Elafonissi beach one day, it was too busy and commercialised for us and were happy at Sfinari.
Above all, Vassilis our host was great. We arrived late evening to an absolutely delicious home-cooked meal of stuffed peppers to pop in the oven to reheat and salad, cheese, bread, wine - a lovely warm welcome. There were also little things such as dishwasher tablets, salt, pepper, herbs, olive oil etc which mean you don’t have to go out shopping when you’re only staying for a week. Vassilis helped us to find our bearings and had great advice about places to visit. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

If you are looking for perfect harmony in a fresh, modern villa with a stunning view this is it! The village is tiny and genuine. No hotels, no tourists, jsut peace and calm. If you want to it is easy to take the car to Falassarna beach for example. It is great to have a few tavernas down by the beach. Took us 7 minutes to walk there and we enjoyed all of our lunches there.
This is our second visit here (last in 2016) and we appreciate that the villa is modern, extremely clean and well cared for. Great hospitality with lots in thefridge when we arrived. Tip is to do food shopping in Chania where you have much more to choose from, stock up there. Especially for wine like Prosecco. Then you can shop in Platanos close by.
Only suggestion is to change the outside chairs since they far far too low compared to the table. :-)
Thank you Vassilis for another lovely week!!!

Our family of 4, including our grown daughters enjoyed the lovely villa Sfinari in early Sept. Gorgeous weather, stunning beaches and views from the villa, and the warmth of the local people captivated us. We really enjoyed walking down the lane, through the olive groves to find the 3 casual fresh fish restaurants tucked by the water's edge. We watched the sun set while enjoying some wonderful fish, surfers catching the dying light. Magic. We slept each night to the sound of the surf below. The villa was very comfortably laid out, we enjoyed the jacuzzi baths, the pool and the views. Vassilis was very helpful and responsive to our needs. A wonderful holiday - we'll be back!

We came with high expectations of this villa from the pictures and previous reviews. We weren't disappointed at all. The location is completely private and the views of the surrounding mountains and sea were simply breath taking. To be honest we only left the villa to get supplies as we had everything we wanted for a relaxing luxury holiday. Many thanks to Vasilis and his wife for making us feel welcome and sharing there lovely villa.

Stunning getaway!!
Stunning getaway!!
We stayed for a week in August, 2 adults and 2 boys of 14. The villa is beautiful and very well equipped. The layout is perfect and it is rather larger than the pictures show. (We have rented villas in different locations many times before). The service and cleaning was impeccable. The sunset out of this world. In Sfinari you have 3 tavernas at the beach, max 10 minutes walk and some in the village. Rather rustic, but ok. Do not go shopping for fodd etc in Kissamos, all you need is in Platanas, much closer and just beside the turn off to Falassarna beach, the best one. We went to Elafonissi one day. Horrible place, very overrated, but the scenic road there and back made up for it. :-) A huge thank you to Vassilis and Margot for excellent service!!! We warmly recommend the villa and would definitely consider coming back!!! Linda&Björn from Sweden

Amazing Villa, with stunning sunset views!
Amazing Villa, with stunning sunset views!
An amazing Villa, with the most beautiful views of the sunset in an unspoiled village where after one visit at one of the local tavernas, they recognize you. The owner Vassilis was quite available for questions on the property or the area and his recommendations were very adapted to the desires of our family. We hope to be able to return soon. Sfinari is the perfect location to visit some of the most beautiful beaches of Crete (Balos, Elafonisi, and Falassarna were our faves).

A perfect week in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful week in Villa Sfinari. It is a beautifully located, thoughtfully designed villa with everything needed for a family of four. We very much enjoyed watching sunsets from the pool in the evening and the nearby restaurants down the hill served great food overlooking the beach. Our favourite by far was Captain Fidia's, definitely recommend it. The villa is a great location to access both the northern coast and Balos Lagoon and not too far to drive to Elafonissi in the south although be warned of the narrow roads! We also enjoyed a few day trips to Falassarna beach which is also close by and a beautiful spot. It's rare to find a place that is unspoilt, off the beaten track and a complete detachment from a busy city life, this spot was just that. The villa was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. The owner was absolutely lovely and left some welcoming food for us, we will definitely make a return visit to Greece and the beautiful western side of Crete again. Thank you.

EINFACH NUR EIN TRAUM
Ein ganz besonderer Platz auf dieser Erde ... nicht nur das traumhafte Haus von Vassilis der selbst unendlich freundlich ist und wunderbar deutsch spricht sondern auch das kleine ursprüngliche Dorf Sfinari mit seinen 3 Tavernen am Strand - besonders die erste von Captain Fidias mit seiner Familie - zu unserer Zeit mit ganz wenigen Touristen und sehr herzlichen und freundlichen Einheimischen. Ein Platz für Ruhe und Erholung. Eigentlich dürfte man das hier gar nicht schreiben - KGB & Freunde im Mai/Juni 2016

We had the perfect house to stay and relax in a wild landscape, with fine food, great oportunities for hitch hiking and also a wonderful service.
All we needed were there and more. Very good beds and silance arround us in the middle of the country side.
We got important information about local restaurants and nice places to visit from the landlord directly. You could also go there as a family, it has enough space for four people. Great few because of sun sets. In this time of the year you will have all the beaches for your own and the local people are very happy to see you as a guest.

Perfect holiday.
Perfect holiday.
Vasily was a wonderful host and made our stay enjoyable and totally comfortable. It was a perfect holiday and we look forward to returning next year. Sfinari is a gorgeous location far enough from everything to maintain a character of an authentic village but not lacking anything so when you need something its just short drive to the shops. Good beach for swimming and tavernas are within walking distance.
The villas themselves are totally comfortable and beautiful and will satisfy the most demanding traveler. It was resented to us in a spotlessly clean state which i really appreciated being a cleanaphobe . Thank you Vasily for a wonderful and memorable stay. Hope to see you soon.

Merveilleux séjour dans une villa de rêve
Merveilleux séjour dans une villa de rêve
Pour notre second voyage en Crète, nous avons décidé de nous rendre dans l'Ouest de l'île, dans le petit village de Sfinari, loin du tourisme de masse.
Séduits par les photos du site internet, notre choix s'est porté sur la Villa Sfinari. Arrivés sur place le samedi vers 20:30, nous avons découvert une villa en tout point identique à celle figurant sur le site internet. Propre, rangée et très bien équipée, cette maison a été largement à la hauteur de nos attentes et même plus. Le propriétaire, très aimable, avait pris soin de nous laisser une bouteille de vin et un plat cuisiné dans le frigo (légumes farcis), ainsi que du pain pour le déjeuner et une magnifique corbeille de fruits.
La Villa :
Magnifique villa, construites avec des matériaux nobles, surplombant les Côtes de Sfinari. Une vue panoramique à plus de 270 degrés, orientée mer et de façon à pouvoir observer de magnifiques couchers de soleil. La piscine à débordement, est d'un plus bel effet sur la terrasse. Les chambres équipées de jaccuzi et douches italiennes sont spacieuses et fonctionnelles. Bref, cette villa est parfaite en tout point.
Sfinari et environs :
Ce petit village nous a séduit de part sa quiétude. Peu touristique, il a tout d'un village traditionnel crétois. Les quelques petites tavernes et les habitants donnent à ce lieu, un côté authentique, difficile à retrouver dans les régions plus touristiques de l'Est de l'île et sur la Côte Nord. La plage de Sfinari est recouverte de galets et moyennement idéale pour la baignade. Toutefois, les fameuses plages de Falassarna sont à une vingtaine de minutes en voiture. Vous y trouverez là-bas, les plus belles plages de l'Île.
Trois tavernes se partagent la plage de Sfinari. Nous les avons testées à plusieurs reprises durant notre séjour et nous devons dire, que même si toutes sont d'excellentes qualités, nous avons préféré la Taverne Thalami, laquelle avait toujours une grande variété de poissons frais. Deux autres tavernes se trouvent au centre du village, mais nous n'avons pas eu le temps de les tester. Bref, un lieu typique, authentique et sauvage, loin des plages et villes défigurées par le tourisme.
Dans tous les cas, nous y reviendront c'est certain et on ne peut que vous conseiller cette magnifique villa.
