10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
We absolutely loved the Villa. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The views were incredible and we had a wonderful 10 days exploring the area and chilling by the pool. Elena was very helpful and even brought us a delicious dinner one evening. The local area was fantastic-Kirianna is a charming village and Pigianos Kampos was brilliant with super restaurants and beaches. We particularly enjoyed Indigo Beach Bar, Akrogiali Taverna and Paraplous.
We will definitely be returning to this wonderful villa. Thank you!

The villa is amazing with beautiful views. Elena is and excellent host. She replied to emails right away and even provided some delicious treats. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
We had the perfect holiday at Villa Katifes. We stayed with three young children. The house was spotless, the pool was brilliant and the host was amazing. The location was great. We couldn’t fault the place.
Elena regularly checked in and was on hand to answer any questions. She even dropped round delicious homemade treats. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Crete was a beautiful place.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
Beautiful house, well equipped and kitted up with good taste. Modern, it is a recent build, and fully furnished with a great Patio and outside swimming pool, perfectly maintained. Elena, the property owner, is a sweetheart and she would satisfy any requests.
Not impressed by Crete, if it were not for the beautiful beaches, but the house made the difference and contributed massively to make our holiday special.
