We’ve just returned from two fabulous weeks in Crete, staying at Heidi and Richard’s beautiful Villa Koukouvayia — and what a wonderful experience it was!The villa is spacious, stylish, and perfectly located, with breathtaking views over the olive-covered hills. It had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday — from a fully equipped kitchen (with every utensil imaginable!) to beach umbrellas, chairs, and other thoughtful extras that made outings easy and enjoyable.While the kitchen is perfect for cooking, we didn’t need to use it every night — the villa is close to many lovely tavernas serving delicious local food. Heidi and Richard were incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable hosts, always available with helpful, detailed answers to any question. Their local insights led us to some stunning, uncrowded beaches we would have never found on our own.The location is peaceful and private, yet within easy reach of amenities and a great base for exploring western Crete. All the beautiful beaches we visited were an easy drive away.This was our first time in Crete, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It truly was a place for everyone to enjoy — including our children, who especially loved spending time with Logan and Oliver!Highly recommended — and we can’t wait to return!

We spent two weeks at this house. Our hosts, Heidi and Richard, were really amazing regarding any questions or feedback and really kind to us. Even before we arrived, we were asked about any sort of special needs or wishes. At our arrival, they introduced us to the house and explained everything we needed to know. They also had put some things in the fridge, so we didn't have to go out and buy groceries that day. During the stay they did check ups on us and really cared about us being comfortable in the house. Since they also lived on the site, they were always available.
The house is amazing, the equipment is very good. In reality, the house is even better than it looks on pictures. Everything is very tidy and clean, inside and outside. They have a playful cat named Oliver and a nice and polite dog named Logan. Shopping, grocery shops and the beach can be reached within minutes with a car. We want to thank for the hospitality and highly recommend this house!

We had an excellent time exploring around the Kissamos/Chania area and this property made getting to many of the interesting beaches & attractions in the area easily accessible and stress free. The property and house are family friendly and we felt welcomed there and used a lot of the gear, games, and equipment available. We liked how private the house is, the views of the sea are amazing and it’s close enough to local restaurants too. We can’t say enough about the relaxing and private vibe of this property! We were able to see the ‘arms’ of the Milky Way galaxy at night because the night sky is so clear - a rarity in Europe! The hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable; they have a passion for Crete and its wonderful culture.
