"The staff were very helpful and responsive. We stayed in a maisonnette and like some of the others have said the sea view is blocked partially by the buildings in front. The road that runs in front has parking but it's also noisy, and the balcony had no shade. The apartment was lovely but needed some maintenance - kitchen needed a bit of tidying and the shower head was hanging off. The apartment was also much smaller than the pictures, no breakfast bar and no actual eating table so we had to use...

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"We stayed in October and it was just hot enough to enjoy the pool and lying about in the crisp but warm mountain air. Property is sweet and check in caring. Space feels like a home rather than business, with generous touches of cheese and tomatoes to welcome us. Kitchen well stocked for cooking. Bed was a little hard after 4 nights. But all round we LOVED this place."

"Sehr schöne Villa, Ca. 200m von der leider noch hörbaren Nationalstraße entfernt. 2 Kritikpunkte: Geschirrspüler verdreckt, so dass das Geschirr nicht sauber wurde. Warmwasserboiler kaputt gegangen, schnell repariert und nach 2 Tagen wieder kaputt."

"This house has absolutely everything you need to enjoy a vacation in Crete. Outstanding beaches are within easy driving distance. The nearby towns of Tymbaki and Mires are full of great choices for shopping and eating. If you have any interest in Bronze Age Minoan culture, the Palace of Phaistos and the Agia Triada Villa are very close (both sites are quite interesting, especially the latter which is only 3 km distant from Phaistos). And if you just want a quiet place to relax, the house has two...

Palazzo Greco Villas

Palazzo Greco Villas

5/5 Excellent
Beautiful view and modern accommodations
"Palazzo Greco is a set of modern villas with a stunning view and nice location close to several beaches. The units are clean, comfortable, and we were nicely set up with a single villa using the lower level for our two kids. Do sign up for the breakfast---it was delicious, the best we had in Greece. The staff is welcoming and even shows up with tasty treats."
