CRÊTE, beautiful villa with swimming pool and fantastic sea view on souda bay

Wonderful home,beautiful views pool was fantastic, and the outdoor seating areas were great. Had a few minor issues but thanks to Mark they were fixed promptly. Would definitely recommend.

It was a great time.

The villa and the views were excellent. The pool area was lovely and the rooms were all a good size. The kitchen was well equipped, although the fridge was not cold enough and things were going off very quickly which was annoying, as the shop is not in walking distance. Three decent sized dining areas, and the balcony upstairs was brilliant for watching the sunsets! The location of the villa was ok but the description of it was confusing. It is not two minutes to the beach. One of the aircon units was leaking water into the bedroom. The manager came out twice but it was not fixed properly so that needs looking at. But overall it’s a great place to stay. It would be good if the track to it was improved as the rocks make it tricky driving up safely.

The villa has a lot going for it, but it feels unloved, little things let it down, only 2 usable sun loungers, a further 2 (unusable) dumped on the wall, the top patio furnishings stained and worn, 2 windows upstairs with odd curtains, a few screws to hold them in place would stop the pole moving and the end falling off, the garden has lots of debris laying around, lots of weeds out the front. It did come as a very big surprise that no cleaning took place for our 3 week stay, no spare sheets or towels, so you had to wash them early, lay them out somewhere and dry them that day, very strange set up. On the positive note the pool area is great, the chairs and furniture on the pool level are comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, watching the sunset with a cold beer is the perfect end to the day.
