Part of small hamlet in Western Crete, The Crete House has been transformed into a four-bedroom holiday home with a stunning swimming pool.

The House is just a 40 minute drive from Chania Airport and 30 minutes from the Venetian City of Chania. The local towns of Kissamos and Platenos are a 5 minute drive. The fantastic beaches at Falasarna and it’s ancient ruins are a 10 minute drive, as is the town beach and tavernas at Kissamos.

Has potential but needs a clean up
The house is in a nice spot, with great views and fairly close to Balos and Falassarna. It looks like it is currently being renovated so be prepared to some chipped paint and some 'unfinished' rooms. The property is still quite cool. Main problem for us was that the house was sooo dirty. There are a bunch of cats living there and all the pillows outside are so full of cat hair you really don't want to sit on them. A storage box would help. Lots of dust and dirt everywhere, and the last two nights we were all eaten up by the bed bugs. Not fun. Although communication with the house manager was easy, a couple of repairs that were required were not attended to.

Spectacular in every way!
An amazing house amongst the olive groves. I will miss this place as it was cozy and beautiful in every way. Rodo the property manager was a super bonus as she treated me like family with kind hospitality. Her tours, adventures, cooking classes and so much insight of Greek culture will be many memories I will cherish and cause me to come back for another stay. I can’t thank her and her boyfriend, Andres enough who gave me the ultimate Crete experience!!!

Excellent Villa
We have just returned from a really enjoyable holiday in Karefilana. The Villa is spacious and well equipped and is a rare find when seeking 3 double bedrooms. We all enjoyed our stay there, making the most of the spacious outdoor dining and relaxation area. All the bedrooms were of a good size and with 3 bathrooms we were able to have one per couple. All communication with the owners was good and the villa is managed locally by a very helpful local lady. My only slightly negative is that in my opinion the picture of the Pool in the advert makes it look much larger than it is and my first reaction upon seeing it was disappointment. In reality the Pool is a reasonable size and we enjoyed using it. I have no hesitation in recommending this property which is located in a good position in an unspoilt part of the Island.

Loved our stay but had a couple of disappointments
Had a lovely holiday at this villa just a couple of issues. I booked for 8 Adults and was a bit disappointed with the single beds in the fourth bedroom as they were child’s beds and not full length. Also the description of the villa suggests en suite bathrooms but they are Jack and Gill bathrooms without toilets. The toilet is separate. The outside space and the pool were amazing and that’s where we spent most of our time. Very well equipped kitchen.

This is a lovely property in a wonderful location.
We found the villa very well equipped wth a good store for extra towels etc. The pool, although small was much appreciated by us all. The villa is easily accessed with good beaches nearby. Overall a holiday to remember. Just one small niggle - a pile of unwashed laundry was left on the floor near the washing machine.

Beautifully presented Villa in peaceful location with fantastic views - cool place to stay!
Recently returned from 2 weeks in Crete - what a fabulous villa! Very spacious and comfortable and beautiful outdoors space. The views are very special and The outside terrace is fantastic for entertaining, eating outside, relaxing, reading, or just chilling out. Everything you need is in the villa, and we found the owners were extremely helpful. Local beaches are sandy, and sea is clear you can walk out for awhile before it gets too deep - great for kids. There are some really good local Taverna's/restaurants in Kissamos, and Platenos (about 10 mins drive away) so car hire is essential. Local bakers and mini market 5 mins away in car. The Villa is located in an unspoilt area of Crete - we would really love to return here again next year. It was a wonderful place to stay in a great location and we would highly recommend it.

Amazing villa with beautiful views and interior/exterior design.
Me and 5 friends stayed here for a week and it truly was one of the best places we've ever stayed. There are beautiful views of the bay from nearly all the windows, the pool and surrounding area is great for relaxing and is bigger than the pictures convey. The kitchen and the house in general had all the necessities (appliances/towels etc). 10 min drive to a great white sand beach where you can watch the sun set. Our only slight issue was getting the oven to work, and when we inquired about it with the owner he wasn't much help. But apart from that everything worked perfectly. This is a must if you're looking for a place to stay in West Crete!
