"Perfect stay."

"The villas was very clean, spacious and modern. We were there March 12-16 so very early in the season. The pools were closed which I didn’t know until getting there as it was shown when I booked that heated pools were all year round. There was apparently a sandstorm from Africa for a week prior to us coming which then closed the pools. The host offered us an extra night free however we already had our flights back to Athens booked so couldn’t take advantage of that. Michaelis offered a dinner for the 4 of us so we took him up on that offer and it was excellent. The location was pretty good, 20 min from Heraklion, beaches, about 40 min to the CreteAquarium. It’s a pretty quiet area that you are in, the locals are quite friendly and helpful I would stay again as long as the pool was open as my kids felt the disappointment with it not being open. "

"Very characterful but be prepared for stairs and steep slopes "

"Our stay at Troullos Traditional Houses was wonderful! Our host Athena was fantastic - so helpful, welcoming and kind. We felt very well taken care of and supported in our questions. Our lodging was fully equipped with a small kitchen and everything we might need. The patio overlooking Mt Juctas was a delight in addition to the beautiful courtyard. Highly recommend! "

"The villa is beautiful. It is very well equipped with everything we needed - we really couldn't fault it! It's very spacious, with seating areas outside at the front, back and on the balcony, so there's always a sunny spot (or shady spot if you prefer!). The beds are very comfortable, and all the bedrooms have air conditioning so it's very pleasant even in the height of summer. The pool is a great size and provided so much fun for us all. Stelios, the host, is so friendly and helpful!The village of Sgourokefali is lovely and quiet, and the locals are very friendly. It has a very small minimart with basic groceries, and a bakery selling fresh bread and delicious fresh pastries, so you don't really need to leave the village! Episkopi is a 30 mins walk away where there are more shops including 2 larger supermarkets, a taverna and a lovely (and very reasonably priced) restaurant which we ate at quite a few times.We decided not to hire a car, but on the days we did leave the village, we used a taxi, which cost between 40-60 EUR each way to places like Knossos, Heraklion and Water City. It was easy to get a taxi at Heraklion airport when we arrived, even though there were 5 of us. The same taxi driver gave us his number and we messaged him on Whatsapp when we needed a taxi during our stay, and I'm sure others would do the same.We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone!"

"We had a really lovely time at this house — it’s spacious, surrounded by lots of greenery, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The pool was absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more enjoyable. The shaded garden and good isolation from neighbors created a real sense of privacy, which we truly appreciated. The interior offered plenty of space for a group, and most of us felt very comfortable. However, there were a few issues that future guests should be aware of. First, some of the doors didn’t close properly, which was inconvenient and should definitely be fixed. Second, there was not enough space for the ninth person — this should be clearly mentioned in the listing, or at least shown in the photos to manage expectations. Also, the washing machine didn’t work during our stay, which was disappointing, especially for a longer trip. And one small but annoying detail: the kitchen really lacked proper knives – for a house of this standard, better kitchen equipment would make a big difference. All in all, it’s a beautiful place with lots of potential — just a few improvements and more transparency in the listing would make it perfect."

"The views from the hilltop were spectacular and we loved sitting outside with our delicious breakfast. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable and as the final days of our trip this was a perfect wind down. I would love to go back for longer"
