We brought even closer nature to you and your table with more fruits and vegetables from our garden and fresh eggs from a new small hennery a few meters away from the Cottage. The design of the outdoor space was based on plants that grow at the area , as well as on local building materials. The only thing you need to do is to care about our plants. Yiannis Cottage is provided with the special sign of the Greek Tourist Organization (EOT-1354121504) which secures the quality level of all services, terms and conditions our guests have the privilege to enjoy during their stay.

The cottage had everything we needed, including my absolute essentials - comfortable bed, coffee machine, good shower, lovely garden and pool. Local tavernas were great but we also enjoyed exploring many of Manolis’ other recommendations, including a visit to the local vineyard. We’d love to go back! ##### Kate B.

I would highly recommend this villa for anyone wishing to avail of a home-to-home stay in Crete. So peaceful a place and after a couple of days back home in Ireland I cannot stop thinking of this beautiful villa and peaceful village. Our host couldn’t do enough for us during our stay and the villa was ideal, situated in a quiet village with a few local bars and restaurants in walking distance from the villa that perfectly suited us after a long day at the beach and our sightseeing tours. We will be back here very soon!!!! Thank you so much David & Julie. ##### DAVID A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan S.

Very comfortably, the villa has air condition to help you cool down at night. Most importantly, Manolis was a most friendly and helpful host. I am only disappointed that we could not stay longer, but we hope to be back... next year? ##### Stefan S. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grace B. May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect week in Crete Our stay in Spilia was perfect start to finish - Manos was brilliant and on hand for anything we needed throughout (& kept us very well fed!) His booklet full of recommendations was really useful as well, we did/saw/ate lots that we wouldn’t have known about without it. The photos don’t do the villa justice, it’s very private and the flowers and bell tower and mountains in the distance make the most beautiful peaceful surroundings. The pool was wonderful, big enough for a proper swim - we also enjoyed the occasional visits from the many local cats! The inside is quiet, clean and comfortable - we both slept the best we have in ages! The village itself is very pretty - we tried two of the local tavernas and both were great (especially Ta Platanias) and there is a shop within walking distance. 10/10 - definitely recommend for any couple wanting to relax and explore Crete. ##### Grace B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antony T. Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pure Relaxation Lovely time, well served by Manos, who is always happy to help. A few points perhaps not previously mentioned in other reviews - The salt water pool is not as salty as the sea. Birds and cats are happy to drink from it. There is a water filter tap by the sink - saves laborious carrying of water bottle packs from the supermarkets. Separate aircon in bedroom and in sitting room. Manos has attached a gadget to the TV which picks up Netflix, etc. WiFi is good, but does occasionally drop out (it is Greece, after all). Manos provides a separate link via mobile phone connection, as a back up. Bed is comfortable - good mattress. Other than that, a lovely break and will look to book again for next year. ##### Antony T. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason H.

We booked this Cottage knowing that it s more a place for the summer. We booked it because of the heated salted pool and we didn;t regret it. We read the reviews about the place and the owner but we couldn' t expect that during this period of the year our experience could be SO fantastic! The place is different that the photos!!It s more and more beutiful!!The owner made a renovation which just finished the dates we get there. New pool tiles with a beautiful color which suits perfectly with the wonderful garden. The villa has new frames and doors, and the quality of the materials is very very good. Linens and towels (the pool towels are SO big) are provided and everything elase we asked was there. Manolis is an intelligent man we talked a lot and we wish we could spend more time with him. We were very lucky because we had 1 sunny week and we enjoyed the wooden sunbeds and the nest (both new i think). We are back in Germany and we have already booked this Villa for this April. ##### Jason H. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikolaos T. Nov 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Villa with big pool in such a nice location. We always check the reviews of every property we book. Yiannis Cottage has grate reviews anyway but i will add another one i have to do it because we had a grate experience. The pool is huge for 2 people, maybe it s good for 4 or 5. We enjoyed the time there in front of the grate garden. We could have sun or no if we could be under the trees! The bed is very comfortable, the bath and the separate toilet are fantastic, the kitchen very well equipped. The living room and the outside area are very well decorated and comfortable. The garden was so beautiful we enjoyed the time there beside the pool. The location was perfect to explore the region. We enjoyed the tavern a few meters away, we walked round the village to the big cave , some minutes away. Kolimvari is a nice village where you can find anything you may need, but we passed most of our time in Spilia village. Manolis the owner, is an intelligent man who can give you any information you need, he can solve any problem you may have. We really enjoyed the time with him and we felt very comfortable. We will come back!! ##### Nikolaos T. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronald m. May 7, 2018 #### Just exceptional .... Well, the truth is that we booked the house because of the good reviews. We made a very good decision. A hire car was very kindly arranged by the hosts. A man who worked for the rent a car office waited us to the exit, we took the car and we just followed the detailed directions by Manolis (the owner)...It was really easy to find the Cottage and Manolis waited for us to give us the keys and many advices of things to do. We tried to do most of them but we needed more than 2 months so we will come back in the near future. We would like to come on September but the dates we could, wasn't available. The cottage is located in the village called Spilia, which is really charming. There is a traditional tavern a few meters away from the Cottage. You need less than 10 minutes drive and you have many choices,.. Of course you have to ask Manolis...For example, we went to Deliana gorge (Samaria gorge was closed), it was so beautiful. On the way back we also went to the tavern in Vassilopoulos ( a hidden non touristic place) and to an oil factory in Astrikas...Fantastic!! Falassarna was our favors beach (20-25 minutes drive) , elafonnisi (less than 1 hour drive) is magnificent, specially this period. Although there are some tips which Manolis gave us made the difference. We also went to Chaniaand we also found a lot of alternative (non touristic) places to visit. We needed almost 20 minutes drive to go there. The most impressive thing was the hospitality... In the middle of the week the house was cleaned by Eleni, linen, towels changed!! The pool is huge for 2people so the Cottage is perfect for couple with 1-2 kids. We were there just the 2 of us and we really had a grate time in the pool during the day and at night where the lights made the place really amazing. We would highly recommend the property for exploring Western Crete .Manolis and his family offer an outstanding experience and it certainly ranks as one of our best holiday rentals! We hope to return! ##### Ronald m. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan O. Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Extérieur de folie ! On recommande vivement cette maison pour passer un agréable et authentique séjour en Crète.Manos, le propriétaire, nous a fait un super accueil avec des produits locaux et un livret qui regroupe plusieurs endroits très beaux pour découvrir l'île.Concernant la maison, le point fort est l'extérieur avec la piscine entourée de plantes et d'arbres (citronnier et palmier) ainsi qu'un très bel olivier. Cet environnement donne beaucoup de charme à la maison.Et petit plus, il y a des chats qui se baladent autour de la piscine dont un en particulier de couleur noir et blanc qui est très gentil et affectueux (il accepte volontiers les caresses) c'est une bonne patte !En résumé, on valide complètement cette maison !Merci encore Manos ! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bff58f39-61f0-4048-9c75-61fc1b186281-1751475374921.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/206ee4ef-6048-49ce-be9d-bc754d8bb15b-1751475375086.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jordan O.

Das Haus von Manolis ist ganz ruhig in dem idyllischen Ort Spilia neben der Dorfkirche gelegen. Man hat absolut seine Ruhe. Der Pool (leichtes Salzwasser) ist ein Traum. Sehr groß und in einem sehr guten Zustand - Top gepflegt. Auch der Garten ist ein Paradies. Der Vermieter ist absolut hilfsbereit und sehr nett. Die Kommunikation war jederzeit einwandfrei. Manolis war immer erreichbar und konnte gute Ratschläge geben. Wir wurden von ihm sehr liebevoll umsorgt. Mal gab es was vom Bäcker und ein Willkommenspaket mit seinen eigenen Bio-Produkten gab es auch. Einfach fantastisch! Zu 100% zu empfehlen! Vielen lieben Dank an Manolis und seine Familie! Wir werden gerne wiederkommen! Efcharistó Manolis! Thank you very much for everything! We hope we meet us again and soon :) ##### Maria J.

This was my third time at this region of Crete which is my favorite in Greece!!I choosed this villa based from the reviews and I was right!!! The villa is exactly what a couple needs for relaxing and more!!! The villa has everything you may need. 1)Privacy!Nobody can bother you.The entrance of the house is near a pricate family road. 2)You can feel isolated but a few steps away there are 2 grate tradisional taverns for foodbor drink. 3) The pool is very Big for 2 people,is salted and it is heated!!!!!!When we booked we didn't know it!!! 4) Manolis...He didn't charve anything more for the amenity of the heated pool and he did...Everything we could ask from an owner..Tips,kindness and the feeling you can base on him if anything happens.We travel.a lot and all these things are what you search! The welcome pack was also unexpected. We have never seen anything similar. Thank you much Manolis.We will be back!! ##### Paul E. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sina M.

Sir befindet sich in mitten eines kleinen Dorfes. 3 verschiedene Lokalitäten kann man von dort zu Fuß schnell erreichen! Der Strand ist lediglich 10 Minuten mit dem Auto, ein Supermarkt 5 Minuten und ein etwas größerer auch nur 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Die Villa bietet ausreichend Platz für 2 Personen. Man hat die Möglichkeit dort dazu kochen, Wäsche zu waschen, zu grillen, oder einfach nur entspannen. Im Außenbereich befindet sich ein großer Pool mit mehreren liegemöglichkeiten. Wenn man mit dem Auto anreist, bekommt man einen eigenen Parkplatz im Schatten. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wenn man etwas braucht, reicht eine kurze Nachricht und er reagiert, beziehungsweise hilft sofort. Falls man allerdings reine Privatsphäre genießen möchte, kann man das dort auch sehr gut! Niemand stört, wenn man das nicht möchte! Ich kann die Villa wärmstens weiterempfehlen. ##### Sina M. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laetitia M.

The house is beautiful & in a perfect location at the traditional village of Spilia close to lots of lovely beaches and taverns.. The pool is salted and we really enjoyed it, we have never stayed into the pool so much.Manolis was so lovely - we have never stayed with such fantastic host before.I would recommend this villa to every couple or small family for relaxing. We can’t wait to return! ##### Josef P. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eliz O.

The villa is perfect for 2 people, with a fabulous garden, encompassing a large pool and 2 seating areas. It is very difficult to find something this good for 2 people, it is almost unique. The villa is in a great location on the Western side of Crete, and is within driving distance of many beaches, including some of Crete's most famous ones. It is situated in the charming village of Spilia and is within walking distance of two good tavernas. The city of Chania with its picturesque harbour is only 30 minutes drive away with Chania airport being another 10 minutes on. The best thing about this villa is the owner, Manolis. He goes out of his way to ensure you have a great holiday, and is there to meet all your needs. He is extremely kind and helpful, without being intrusive. We have travelled to many places across the world and this is the only villa we have stayed in twice which reflects just how much we like it. I know you will too. We hope to return in the future. ##### Tom C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### henrietta F.

Fantastic location within walking distance of 2 very good local tavernas & within driving distance of beaches, walks, wineries etc. Great outside space including lovely good sized pool, outside eating areas in both shade & sun. Stand out feature was Manolis himself especially helpful with local tips & answered all our questions plus a very generous delicious food & drink package on arrival which fed us for several meals supplemented by his father’s wonderful vegetable garden, we also loved his gift of honey soaked pastries.We would definitely like to return space permitting & highly recommend ideal for a couple. ##### henrietta F.

The big eco-friendly pool and lush garden are perfect and two nice local tavernas just around the corner. Can without hesitation recommend this villa for two adults or small family.

He organised the car,the Cottage,our transfer to Samaria gorge,the cooking lessons,and more.He gave us the best tips for the region,which only locals know. The Cottage is perfect for a couple,the pool is very big,the outdoor area is much better than the photos. We travel for years ,a lot of times in Crete also. The welcome pack ,Manolis offers is something really different. Generally speaking visiting Yiannis is a grate experience for many reasons. The only problem is that the Cottage is very popular so we have to book very early. We will definitely try to come again. ##### Kim S.
