8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2023
The outside space was perfect, we used the pool and Bbq most days. The beds were firm and comfortable but we like firm matresses. The downstairs bathroom which is for the double room was disappointing. Not a luxury bathroom that you would expect from a 3 bed villa. The kitchen and lounge was basic but had everything needed. Location is very peaceful but when we booked originally the listing said there was a taverna on site but this had closed which meant a 20 - 30 minute drive to go out for dinner. Car is essential for this villa. Overall though we had an amazing relaxing holiday

Lovely spacious accommodation in a great location with beautiful views, however slightly let down by facilities in Villa, found beds to be very uncomfortable (very firm) impacting on our sleep, fixtures and fittings budget for a luxury Villa and quite minimal. Unfortunately would not stay again due to beds, overall did not live up to our expectations

Valia and her family personally welcomed us to their home and checked in to see if we needed anything. The house is roomy, beautiful and spotless. Unfortunately, there is so much to do and see on the wondrous island we were hardly ever there. Valia and her family represent the people of Crete with warmth and care that we found all over the island.
