We have just returned from an AMAZING family holiday. Villa Posidonia was exactly as described in its listing and previous review speak the truth! It was so well presented inside and out. The villa itself is situated in a little place called Nopegia. Literally 30 seconds walk and you can visit two lovely tavernas, Ble and Porfina. We dined in both and enjoyed both but Ble was more relaxed and suited to us and the children. 35 seconds walk from the villa and you are on the beach! Sun beds are available. The beach is a mix of pebbles and sand. Once over the pebbles into the sea is it sandy. The sea was warm and pleasant to swim in. We spent most of our time relaxing by the villa pool. The outside area was just perfect for us. A 10 minute taxi ride takes you into Kissamos where there are supermarkets and restaurants. Each day a baker comes near to the villa so listen out for his car horn. He sells fresh bread and baked treats daily. We were also lucky enough to catch a fresh fruit van a couple of times too. This review is not complete without mentioning the owner, Ria. She was an AMAZING host. She greeted us at the villa when we arrived and prepared to have some food items like fruit, water and milk for us. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She was able to arrange our transfer to and from Chania airport (about 45 minutes). The driver who collected us gave us his company details and we were able to send WhatsApp messages if we needed taxis. Ria was simply marvellous.

Fantastic stay
My family group consisting of 4 adults and 2 children have just stayed at this fantastic villa. The villa itself is beautiful, very well equipped and superbly appointed. We were met by Ria the owner who gave us a very warm welcome and some very nice arrival gifts. The pool is fantastic and my grandchildren used it non stop throughout our stay. The location is great and the beach is just yards away and 3 nice bars/restaurants are a few minutes walk away, also a mobile baker and fruit van visit several times a week. We had transport and enjoyed our visits to Chania with its restaurants and sights. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone definitely worth 5+ stars.

Great stay in this villa with lofty interior & good outside living spaces, kept immaculately
Had a lovely week stay here. The owner Ria was very caring and hospitable. It’s a shame the immediate area is a bit scruffy with the building opposite & ones further along under construction, but the villa is well screened & quiet with fabulous views from the pool & upstairs bedroom . The local beach is stone & sand & good for a swim. The Local taverna on the seafront served good food including fresh fish (another local fish restaurant was not open until the next week). We walked 10 minutes to another taverna which was also very good. Kissamos was a short drive & we liked the town where there were more seafront restaurants. The famous beaches of Falassarna were 25 minutes drive. Elafonissi beach was a more difficult drive through an impressive gorge & well worth the trip. We wished we’d had longer!!!

Amazing villa, fabulous holiday
Beautiful villa, everything perfectly maintained, and the communication with the villa owner was spot on. The villa was perfect for our family of 5 and we loved the convenience of 3 bar/tavernas within a few minutes walk, each right next to the sea. I’d highly recommend the villa. Thank you Ria

Great for a relaxing holiday
Beautiful quiet spot, we loved having three tavernas just over the road right on the beach. Great sunsets from the balcony, plenty of shade, Ria was super welcoming and helpful, lovely touches eg shampoo and conditioner and basic condiments provided on arrival. Villa is beautifully decorated and maintained. Easy drive to beautiful Falassarna beach about 25 mins away. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

Little oasis of calm
We had a wonderful time at Ria’s villa. The villa was very well equipped with everything you could ask for, from olive oil, juice, tea and coffee, milk, soaps and more. Everything was clean and the villa and pool looked even better in real life. The 3 tavernas were a 2 minute walk (Porfina was our favourite) which was great as you didn’t have to drive in the evenings. Ria brought freshly baked cakes and cookies during the week which were delicious and a very lovely touch. We didn’t swim at the Nopigia beach during our stay as it was quite windy on a few days, but spent most of our time at Falassarna beach which is an easy drive, and quite magical. You will need a car to get around. We highly recommend this villa for a chilled out holiday with stunning views.

Amazing property!
We absolutely loved this property it was in a perfect location to all the top beaches and not far from kissamos which had plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. The house and pool is stunning the kitchen was so well equipped if you are wanting to do some cooking. Ria the property manager was amazing and if we had any questions she was there to help. There was a baker that came by everyday and honked his horn out on street if you wanted fresh bread cheese pies Amazing donuts. Would stay here again if ever lucky enough to return to Crete. Thank you for sharing your amazing property.

After waiting over two years for our holiday, the villa did not disappoint! The accommodation throughout is stunning, perfectly located with outstanding views. Quiet, secluded, luxurious and a wonderful owner who was always available if we needed anything. A perfect family holiday and we would recommend the villa to friends, family and anyone who wishes to visit the beautiful island of Crete; we did not want to leave!

Beautiful villa
We were very comfortable in the villa and Ria, our host, was most attentive and had thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable - even dropping off apple pie for my family to celebrate the Ohi Day festival. It was beautifully clean and very close to the beach. The only negative point was that my two teenagers found the twin beds uncomfortable in the third bedroom. Other than that, we had a wonderful time despite poor weather all week.

Beautiful Holiday
This is a v comfortable, pretty villa in an AMAZING location. We have travelled extensively, but this villa and the location blew us away. The villa is very well located, 20 metres from the beach with sea views, a secluded bay with crystal clear water. 2 tavernas 50 metres from the house which also provide beach beds free of charge. You sleep to the sound of the waves, and wake up to a lovely private patio and pool area. Well equipped kitchen and bathrooms, the hostess Ria has thought of everything, and is on hand within a minutes notice to answer questions and to provide anything else you may need. Kissamos, the nearest town, is about 6 minutes by car and has everything you may need. One note: The area is quiet, so this is not somewhere for International restaurants and big nightlife, but more for an authentic Greek experience in an unspoilt and uncommercialised area. We would absolutely recommend, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Ria for such a lovely stay.

Wonderful holiday at Villa Posidonia
We had a fantastic week at Villa Posidonia. The villa has everything you need and is exceptionally comfortable. We were two families each with 15 year olds. We made a few excursions, including to the wonderful Falarsana Beach, but in reality we loved the small village where the villa is located. It was quiet, even though it was high season. Choose between the pool or a 10 second walk to the local beach and in the evening there is a nice bar serving cocktails and a taverna with a decent menu of tasty local dishes. Perfect for enjoying the spectacular views while the sun sets. Car hire is essential as the village is quite remote (45 mins from Chania Airport) and trips to Kissamos (10 mins) for supermarkets and a wider choice of places to eat. A special mention to the owner Ria and her daughter Angela who were so welcoming and friendly. Crete is a very magical place and we are already planning a return visit.

Another wonderful stay at this lovely villa
This was our second stay with Ria at the villa Posidonia. Nopigia is a small beach resort with the warmest sea ever - a gently shelving sandy beach (although a few stones at the start so water shoes are a help!) and a perfect beach bar - relaxed and great food with a beautiful view! The villa is spacious and beautifully kept - with two good sized double bedrooms and a twin. Each of the doubles has a good bathroom/shower room and the fittings and finishing of the whole house is to a very high standard. There is ample storage space and lots of sumptuous towels and dressing gowns! The outside areas are great with a high balcony outside the master bedroom to watch the waves and the sunset and a relaxing garden/deck area with plenty of shade/sun around the lovely pool. There is a real feel of a garden, with privacy and well tended grass and shrubs - and a barbecue if you feel drawn! Ria is a wonderful host - fresh fruit, wine, milk, water, juice, oil, raki and honey on arrival and several delicious cakes during our stay. She is available easily through the booking process and is on hand if you need anything during your stay. She is also a thoroughly lovely human - with a great sense of warmth and ease. don't miss the amazing baker who comes every day except Sunday to deliver the most spectacular range of breads and sweet treats - yum! Finally, there is easy walking into Kissamos (about 3 miles) and to a minimarket in the local town of drapanias - only about 1.5 miles away. Kissamos has lots of choices of restaurants and useful shops along with beach and in the older main town street. Mavros Molos beach is great - really brilliant for smaller children - with a very flat safe beach and lots of facilities. overall this is a terrific place to holiday - very laid back and easy - and we would definitely recommend it. Thanks Ria - we had another fabulous time!

Wonderful house and beach!
The house is faultless; beautifully clean and everything you need is there. Ria is very helpful and offers advice on where to eat etc. Lovely pool and comfortable loungers, shade for when you need it and cool bedrooms. Cannot recommend it more highly! The beach is only footsteps away and was the warmest sea we found. Quite calm, so good for swimming. Lovely area...boat trips from Kissamos, supermarkets in Kissamos and best restaurant by far is Maracaibo. Fabulous food, service and prices! Apart from Nopigia, the best beach is Farlassarna beach because the sea is sandy with no rocks, so better for the feet. Balos is beautiful, but treacherous to get into the sea!

Beautiful views, peaceful, rural, locals were wonderful.
The property was immaculate and beautifully decorated with cleaning service every three days. The pool was well maintained and it was a joy to watch the swallows swoop down in the evening to take a drink. The master suite, on the second floor, with its large balcony has breathtaking sunset views across the bay and is a very private space. We spent most of our time eating on the terrace at a nice wooden dinning eoim table next to the pool. There is a barbacue our the back to grill fish and a good hanging rack for wet bathing suits. The washing machine is upstairs in the master suite bathroom. Although there is not a folder of information this was not missed as the wonderful land lady lives next door and is full of help and advise if needed. She could not have been more friendly, helpful and generous. A veritable mine of information as she and her husband were born and brought up in the area. The beach is hardly used so a nice respite from the popular areas - just bring water shoes to negociate a small band of pebbles, at the waterline, when getting into the sea where there is a sandy bottom. We had a wonderful holiday here with our elderly mother.

Wonderful villa, location and service
This is a beautiful and thoughtfully designed villa - a real sense of home away from home. The external areas are generous and impeccably maintained - with a gorgeous pool, seating areas, barbecue and grassed garden. The upstairs bedroom has a lovely terrace/balcony where you can watch the waves or the sunset and the mountains. The villa has everything you could possibly need and Ria - as everyone notes - is charming and kind - welcoming us and saying goodbye with gifts and great warmth. There are perfect touches such as the bath robes and the Oliva products and "starter groceries" for that urgent cup of coffee when you arrive! The location is ideal - 2 mins frm the beach with the warmest waters anywhere - like a bath on some mornings. The initial stony area is quickly rplaced by acres of shallow sand and swimming in the Bay under the mountains - amazing! Great tavernas right on the beach - a brilliant bakery (who also appear in a delivery van each day) a mile away and several local towns for greater variety. A really special and relaxing place! Thanks Ria - we loved it!

Relaxing stay at villa Posidonia
Only 35 minutes from Chania, Crete we found this villa for our summer holiday and stayed for a week. The villa is extremely easy to get to at the e corner of the small alley. The house has a very nice and clean pool surrounded by a well-kept garden that includes sunbeds, barbeque, dinner table and nice sofas. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ria, the host and she explained the practicalities of the house. During our stay we coordinated house cleaning and had small chats as she dropped by with fresh cretan cake. If you like a quite holiday away from a ton of tourist we highly recommend this location for your stay. There’s some of Greece most beautiful beaches here and the one 35 meters walk from the house is very clean without rocks, seashells, seaweed and other not so nice stuff from the water. There’s a few restaurants nearby with good food, and each morning the local baker parks outside the house for fresh bread and pastery to buy. We had a lovely relaxing time here and will miss the sunset view from the master bedroom balcony Best Regards Kim Nielsen

Wunderschönes Haus und sehr gute Betreuung vor Ort
Das wunderschöne Natursteinhaus war für zwei Wochen unsere Oase der Ruhe. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und super ausgestattet. Auch während des Aufenthaltes wurde geputzt und Handtücher und Bettwäsche gewechselt, was wir als sehr angenehm empfunden haben. Ria ist eine perfekte Gastgeberin die immer erreichbar war und uns mit selbstgebackenen Köstlichkeiten verwöhnt hat. Die Villa liegt unmittelbar am Strand und man kann herrlich ins Meer baden gehen. Auch für Ausflüge an die wunderbaren Strände Balos, Elafonissi und Falasarna liegt die Villa sehr gut. Fussläufig gibt es drei gute Tavernen. Alles in allem waren es für uns zwei sehr erholsame Wochen. Wir können das Haus nur Empfehlen !

Herrliche zwei Wochen
Die Villa muss einen genialen Architekten gehabt haben - sie ist äußerst intelligent gebaut. Links neben dem Eingang ein großer Gemeinschaftsraum (mit Sofa, 2 Sesseln, Tisch und Fernseher etc.), der über 2 Stockwerke geht (mit Treppe nach oben); dann ein Esstisch mit Stühlen (wir aßen allerdings immer draußen) und die angrenzende offene Küche, in der es an nichts fehlte - davor eine wundervolle Terrasse mit Blick aufs Meer und den Pool (wieder Sofa, 2 Sessel und ein Tisch und ein großer Esstisch mit 6 Stühlen). Der rechte Teil des Hauses war sehr gut unseren beiden Familien zuzuordnen: Oben das große Schlafzimmer mit Dusche und Toilette und davor ein sehr schöner großer nahezu quadratischer Balkon. Im EG 2 Zimmer (beide mit Ausgang in den Garten/zum Pool): das Elternschlafzimmer mit privatem Bad und Toilette und das Kinderzimmer, mit daneben liegendem Bad und Toilette. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Villa sehr genossen, weil man mühelos zusammen sein konnte, aber den beiden Familien auch 2 abgetrennte Einheiten zur Verfügung standen, so dass man auch einmal für sich sein konnte, wenn man wollte. Die Villa ist makellos sauber und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der schöne Pool ist großzügig geschnitten, die Kinder haben sich stundenlang im Wasser getummelt - bis sie nur mehr zitterten. Das ganze Gelände ist umzäunt, auch unser ansonsten sehr findiger Kleiner konnte keinen Weg nach draußen entdecken und uns entschlüpfen! Zum Meer sind es vielleicht 20 m, zum Strand mit den Sonnenliegen (siehe Foto auf fewo-direkt) ca 40m. Um im Meer zu baden, muss man kurz über recht viele Steine klettern, da empfehlen sich Badeschuhe (wir hatten allerdings keine, was auch ging) - nach ein paar Metern kommt aber Sand. Ende Mai/Anfang Juni war das Wasser frisch, aber wir haben doch immer wieder im Meer gebadet (im Pool sowieso). Mücken gab es zu dieser Jahreszeit kaum, was sehr angenehm war. Handtücher sind genügend da, auch für den Pool. Die Tatsache, dass Bettwäsche und Handtücher so oft gewechselt wurden, tut außerordentlich gut. Die Aussicht von der Villa ist herrlich! Die Fotos auf der Webseite sind absolut korrekt. In den beiden Tavernen in 2-5 Min. Entfernung (zu Fuss) haben wir fast jden Tag Cappucino getrunken oder zu Abend gegessen. Der Fisch im Porfino ist super! Die Besitzerin ist außerordentlich nett, sehr diskret und immer hilfsbereit. Herzlichen Dank für alles! Wir haben die Villa bereits an Freunde weiterempfohlen!
