Jul 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing view, excellent location If you are looking for the perfect spot to relax, look no further! We spent 10 days at this excellent location. The villa is well kept, clean, and in general just really nice! The view is excellent, from both inside the house and the terraces, the pool is great, and the bbq and outdoor kitchen great for cooking your own food spending long relaxed evenings at the terrace. Location is remote, you do need a car, but the view and the sound of cicada and the flock of goats that passes on a daily basis is the perfect setting for winding down and relaxing. Feels like original Crete, yet both Chania, the Northern coast and Rethymno within easy access. John and Christine are very attentive hosts, providing a welcome pack for the first breakfast, and are quick to answer any question or concern you may have. Would recommend and would like to come back. ##### Inge Mette P. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charles L. Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views Nice villa with stunning panoramic views over the coastline. Easy check-in process with good information provided by the host. Well furnished villa with 3 ample sized rooms for 5 of us, comfy sitting room and a good balcony. Pool reasonable size. 5mins from a small village, Stilos, worth visiting on Sunday for a meat feast. 15min from Kalyves. Sufficient outdoor shade to hide from the sun also. A few minor issues: internet issues for the first 3 days despite speaking to both the property manager and owner (direct communication with the owner most efficient), external lights didnt seem to work (wasnt great when we arrived at 2am), a number of plastic signs everywhere and there is a villa right next door (who were doing some renovations whilst we were there). All in all a very nice villa just missing that extra polish. ##### Charles L. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn R. Jul 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Superb views and very comfortable Villa Petra was everything we hoped it would be and more: very comfortable and well appointed, well located for exploring the countryside of western Crete and - best of all - the dramatic views of the sea, countryside, villages, and mountains. Many relaxing hours were spent reading or lazing in the pool with that gorgeous view spread out in front of us. A wonderful antidote for the stresses of modern living, without sacrificing holiday comforts. The kids loved the pool and the wood or charcoal burning bbq was great. We loved the location - away from the noise and hubbub of the towns and other tourists. It is a short drive to Stylos to pick up provisions or eat at one of the tavernas. We also appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack of milk, juice, jam, butter and wine. 2 minor quibbles which can be easily fixed: the single bed mattresses downstairs were not comfortable (springs were prominent) and we struggled to make the wi-fi work, despite the instructions (difficult to top up the balance using the Cosmote page). 2 suggestions for an even better experience: we found ourselves wishing for electric fans to provide an alternative to aircon for personal cooling (especially when sleeping - the aircon is noisy and has a drying effect (and uses a lot of electricity and is expensive to run, although that cost is not paid by the guest)) and we would have liked some fuel and lighting fluid for the bbq so we didn’t have to duck back to town to pick up charcoal on the first night. But those comments do not lessen our overall endorsement of Villa Petra. ##### Carolyn R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul M.

Up in the mountains this villa has panoramic views but still feels private. Great for a couple or friends and family. The villa has everything you need and is just a short drive away from a number of traditional villages away from other tourists.. but, still not far from beaches and Chania if you're feeling a bit isolated. The hosts (John) was especially attentive and provided us with eveything we needed, including a welcome pack of water, wine, bread, milk etc. Thank you for such a wonderful stay... we needed to get away from it all, Villa Petra certainly did that for us!

Quiet and peaceful but also not far from some charming traditional Greek villages with their Tavernas and a short drive to the nearest beach in Kalyves. The villa is perfectly located to explore many of the tourist hotspots in western Crete. The house is well equipped - we did not miss anything during our stay with our three kids, even some toys and a small boat for the pool were waiting near the poolside. Christine and John are caring very well for their guests, providing lots of useful information before the trip as well as in a folder in the house. We felt very welcome and truly enjoyed our holiday. ##### Bianca B. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samara M.

It is right on top of the mountain giving beautiful views as well as a sense of seclusion. It is has ample grounds yet still gives cosy feel. We stayed as two couples with a baby each and found everything clean, well ordered and very well equipped for self catering. Having to take the rubbish / recycling down the mountain each day can be problematic but it seems to be the way it’s done in Crete. We would happily stay again and have already recommended it to others. ##### Samara M. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa B.

My husband & I, together with our two teenage sons, had the most wonderful time here at Villa Petra! Due to our flight being delayed, we didn't arrive until nearly 3am, but the directions were so clear we managed to follow them even in the dark! The villa is comfortable and homely, and we settled into our holiday immediately. Whether we were relaxing by the pool, enjoying the beaches - Kalives, Kalami & Yorgiopolis, exploring the Akrotiri peninsular, finding ancient churches and Minoan ruins or going head-first down slides at the water park, we simply had a really great time. We had some wonderful food too - Chania, Douliana, Vamos, Kalives & Armenoi all came up trumps! We very much hope to be back to explore some more of this beautiful part of Crete. ##### Vanessa B.

Sep 4, 2018 #### Fabulous villa in a truelly great location Just back from two weeks at Villa Petra 11.08.18 - 25.08.18 and the accommodation was wonderful and if planning a trip back to Crete I would defiantly book this location again . Do not let the previous reviews regarding the road up to the villa put you off as the surface has been upgraded and now has a concreate base, which Christine reassured us was going to be done before we arrived. At the first attempt it is a bit daunting but once you have reached the Villa it is well worth the trip up and you could never get tired of the views across the valley and into Suda Bay. The accommodation was very comfortable with quality beds which gave our party a very relaxing nights sleep . It was also wonderful to sit on the balcony in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and in the evening with something a little stronger and again take in the amazing views and the star filled sky at night .The accommodation has all the facilities you could need and a very clean infinity pool which tops up by itself each day. We also took John up on the car hire and the whole experience was seamless from picking up at Chania airport and dropping off again. Thanks again the Webster family ##### les w.

Oct 29, 2017 #### Fantastic villa in a lovely location We had a brilliant, totally relaxing week in the 2nd week of October. Very comfortable villa that had everything we needed. Great location with both sea and mountain views close to Kalives and Chania. Loved the area and will be back. ##### Mandy J.

Insgesamt haben wir uns im Haus und in der Gegend sehr wohl gefühlt. Vollkommen wäre das Vergnügen geworden, wenn WiFi kostenfrei zur Verfügung gestanden hätte und ein paar Sonnenschirme für den Poolbereich vorhanden gewesen wären. ##### Thomas D.

The villa has the most amazing hilltop views. It is well furnished and has everything you'd possibly require on holiday. The pool is very clean - a bit cold in September but refreshing nonetheless. Outdoor space is excellent - BBQ and outdoor kitchen, sun beds for 6, outdoor dining area and lots of little sun traps. The drive to the villa from the National road is lovely, passing through three villages which have shops, tavernas, etc. The last drive up the hill to the villa is rather hair-raising - but well worth the bumpy, twisting road over a few minutes to reach the top. Very private area with only 3 other villas nearby. This is a beautiful part of Crete - near Chania and Rethymno as well as villages such as Kalyves and Almerida. Great base to visit all parts of western Crete. We will definitely return and are very happy to recommend the villa to others. ##### Douglas Donaldson This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### susan p. Sep 16, 2016 #### Wonderful Villa with fantastic views. We had a lovely holiday at the villa which was everything it promised to be. The views were sensational and the pool and outdoor kitchen were frequently used as we sat outdoors as the sun went down. The only difficulty we experienced was the track to the villa which we found our hire car could not cope with so it had to be left parked until we left. This may have been because it was a 6 seater. Local taxis would not come up to the villa so we walked up and down from the bottom of the track. However, neighbours with smaller cars were managing the hill so the best car to use may be worth checking this with the owners as the villa and its location are so fabulous and shouldn't be missed. In Chania we went on a boat trip and snorkelling with Nicks Boat trips which was a fabulous day out and to be recommended. The rating of 4 stars is simply because of the road and would have been a five. ##### susan p.

Jul 29, 2016 #### Absolutely Stunning Our holiday was wonderful and relaxing. The villa was superb and the location and views amazing. Chaina was a beautiful traditional town with lots to see and do. We hired a car and travelled the island including visiting ruins and very old churches. Loved Crete! ##### susan c.
