“Great comfort”
The home is very spacious and really promotes the Outdoor living. The beds are very comfortable. The pool feels perfect and the host is very kind and accomodating. Thank you very much for the warm welcome. The kitchen is Old and dated but it still works fine.

Superb villa within a beautiful location. Everything you need was at the villa along with amazing views and an amazing pool. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and suggested some great options. It was perfect for exploring this part of Crete, but a car is necessary to get around.

“Absolute Amazing!”
We recently returned from a wonderful family holiday in Crete and really loved our stay at this secluded villa. If you're looking for genuine peace and quiet away from the tourist crowds, this is the perfect retreat. The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time. The amenities were great: a beautiful pool that came complete with a few games and floaties, a huge flat screen TV, and all the practical necessities like a washing machine, brooms, kitchen utensils, and towels. We were warmly welcomed by Caliope, and the owner himself was very kind and responsive — he even came by the next day to fix the automatic blinds after we mentioned they weren’t working. Everything went smoothly, and we felt very well taken care of. The only thing future guests should note is that because of its lovely seclusion, you definitely need a car to get around. Additionally, be careful when following Google Maps, as it occasionally tries to send you down some unpaved or strange backroads! All in all, we had a great experience and would happily stay again!

“Amazing villa in beautiful location & great hosts”
Myself and 6 friends stayed at the villa for 8 days and had an incredible time. The villa itself is next to 2 others with plenty of space between each, so you do feel like you have complete privacy. There is an electric gate, high walls and cameras around the 3 villas, and all ground floor doors lock with electric shutters, so plenty of security, and it is situated away from the Agia Marina main road and strip - a few of our taxi drivers had never driven up there before! It is only a 25 minute walk from the town (or 5 minute drive) so if you're looking for a mix of privacy and beach/town access then this is perfect. Taxis in the area are also cheap and quick to respond. The villa itself was clean and really well maintained, and had all amenities that we could think of. The pool and outdoor grill with views over the mountains and sea is really incredible. We picked up extra charcoal at the Agia Marina hardware store and almost exclusively cooked on the grill. My room also had a balcony facing the same amazing views. Our host Kalliopi was incredibly helpful and provided us a very long list of great recommendations that pretty much guided our trip. We preferred exploring the island rather than visiting the touristy Agia Marina/Platanias area, and her suggestions gave us a lot to do. She had a great balance between giving us space to enjoy our trip and also checking in to make sure everything was going well, and was really relaxed on our check-out day, which we were all very grateful for. The owner Haris was also really nice and chatted with us couple of times, and kindly let us use his fuel for grilling when we ran out of coal. Overall this is a perfect place to stay if you're looking for a great base to either explore the West side of Crete or hang out in Agia Marina (we'd recommend the former). ευχαριστώ Haris & Kalliopi!

“Stunning Villas near Chania”
Amazing place with such kind and considerate hosts. The place is maintained beautifully and the pool is so lovely. Very quiet at night as just 3 villas . Location is ideal but you do need a car. Sunsets every evening are spectacular. We miss it already!

“A beautiful place to stay with fantastic views, quiet and very relaxing.”
We were met by Harris, who introduced himself and showed us around the villa and surrounding areas, taking time to point things out. Harris was very attentive and extremely friendly, offering us a beer, Raki and Limoncello whilst we chatted and got to know each other. A perfect start to a perfect trip.

“Overall our stay was good.”
The villa was really nice in a quiet location only 20-30 minutes from Chania. It was clean and had a lovely pool and view of the sunset. The host was really nice and brought us bread every morning, he also recommended us some restaurants around.

“Amazing stay for family fun and relaxation with wonderful pool and views from the garden.”
We had such a wonderful stay at the villa of Father and Son Harris & Yiannis. They were incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The house we rented had 2 spacious bedrooms and is perfect for a family with 2 kids, The pool and outside kitchen / bbq set-up were amazing, but my favourite part of the outside area is the incredible views with hills and ocean in the distance. The sunsets were amazing. The house itself is perfectly comfortable - the living room doesn't have loads of comfortable sofa space, but as we spent most of our time outside, it wasn't a problem for us. The location of the house was perfect for us - quiet, on top of a hill for stunning views, but still only a quick car ride (5mins) down to shops and restaurants of which there were many available. Would recommend having a car to visit some of the beautiful places on the North West side of Crete including the Elefonissi Beach, Chania old town as well as Kournas Lake. Beautiful driving through mountains to get everywhere. We could't recommend the house more, it was amazing value for money.

“We had a fabulous time on Crete.”
The views are beautiful, it’s very peaceful & secure. Not far to drive from local restaurants and pleasant to walk in the hills. Charis was very friendly and hospitable he brought us fresh bread every morning & we could pick fruit from the garden.
