Pool is so lovely and gets sun all day. Kitchen was really well appointed and it's a short drive to any amenity you could desire (grocery store, restaurants, the beach). Lots of great local recommendations from hosts and previous guests. Some surrounding villas are being worked on/built as of Oct 2024, but workers were not noisy and we barely noticed. Would be happy to stay here again. ##### Lindsey C.

The villa offers a beautiful view of the sea from the balcony and is perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism. The villa is very well-equipped with everything you might need, and the spacious grounds are meticulously maintained. A rental car is essential, but with one, nearby shopping options and the beaches are easily accessible. The villa is located in a peaceful area, though depending on the wind direction, the nearby highway can occasionally be heard. Communication with both the owner and the local manager, Hannah, was prompt and effortless. We highly recommend this villa and would love to return. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 21 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard K. May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Cretan treasure Vacation days are among the most precious days of the year, and you hope that everything is okay and that you feel comfortable. And we were not disappointed. Everything was perfectly prepared, and our hosts did everything they could to make us feel at home from the very first minute. They were also very flexible on our arrival day – a special thank you for that. Despite the somewhat changeable weather in mid-May, we were able to really relax and enjoy the surroundings. The terrace offers a beautiful view, the cozy living room is a great place to feel at home, and the kitchen was well-stocked. Communication regarding minor questions was quick and helpful; it couldn't have been better. And the pool cleaner was also booked in before he arrived, as it should be. Thank you for that, and also for the culinary welcome. The walk to the beach and sea, a few minutes by car, was no problem; everything was perfect. At night, everything was quiet and safe. In summary: The 10 days flew by, and we would have loved to stay longer, but everything has its time, as the saying goes. A heartfelt thank you to our hosts; we had a wonderful rest. All in all, a clear recommendation without reservation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8a43e9ee-0bec-4ebd-a7ab-357966fcccd7-1748270840409.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f735e7db-710d-40e8-84bd-38715b54b679-1748270840791.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard K.

Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely base to explore a wonderful island We spent 3 very nice weeks in June at the villa and returned with great memories of Crete after many wonderful excursions and experiences. The property provided an excellent anchor point for many activities. The villa is in a quiet location in an olive grove, a little away from the touristy coastal town. The beautiful Xania is within easy reach. Likewise, many of the particularly beautiful beaches in the west/southwest of Crete can be easily reached. Well-stocked supermarkets are within a few minutes' drive. Many activities can be booked locally, such as diving. We would definitely recommend a car for visitors. The very well maintained villa was the perfect size for us as a small family. The pool and barbecue sweeten the stay at home. You also get used to dinner on the balcony with sea view very quickly. The villa has a well-stocked kitchen, preparing fresh food for our baby was no problem. The cot and high chair are very helpful for parents of small children. We would like to thank the always very friendly landlords and the local staff for the great and smooth stay and the always very good and friendly communication. ##### Andre P.

The villa itself is very beautiful and well equipped. Everything is designed with love and nothing is missing so that we felt like home. Furthermore we had such a warm welcome arranged by the owners and they were helpful and caring all the time. I can highly recommend this place! A great thank you to Christine and Gilles!! We will come back! ##### Frauke W. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mériem C.

Dès les premiėres communications avec les propriétaires Christine et Gilles, ils nous ont donné envie d'être chez eux. Au-delà de leur accueil et accessibilité constante qui ont ajouté à notre expérience , la maison en soi est paradisiaque, l'emplacement calme, ce que nous souhaitions et avec la voiture, les déplacements faciles et accessibles. Des vacances en tout point idylliques. Merci encore à vous 2. ##### Mériem C. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellis W.

Très bon accueil (quelques petites attentions). Les extérieurs et la maison sont plaisants. Les échanges avec la propriétaire sont appréciables. Elle est d'ailleurs très arrangeante. L'endroit est idéal pour circuler dans l'ouest de la crête (la canee, plages paradisiaques d Elafossini et de bolos...). Vous pouvez louer sans soucis si vous souhaitez visiter l ouest de la crête. Seul petit bémol : la maison est plutôt prévue pour 4 personnes pour le moment car on ne peut pas faire l obscurité dans la pièce du haut. ##### Céline H.
