Once you go, you will definitely want to come back!

It's a true paradise. The villas are decorated in a Cretan style, simple but with details. They're very spacious and clean, with beautiful views around the villas - sea and mountains. It's a place where you can truly relax. The owners are wonderful, very friendly people. Plus, you can taste authentic Cretan cuisine, cooked daily (delicious). Best regards to the owners and staff. We will definitely come back ❤️

The place is lovely. It is very isolated (closest supermarket 20 min driving), which makes it perfect for relaxing. Eleni cooks for the guests every night and the food is absolutely delicious!! You feel like your own family is taking care of you everyday. The location is also very convenient as it is very close to many interesting points in Crete (Preveli beach, Matala, Triopetra, Kourtaliotiko gorge...)

It's a paradise!

A unique place! Beautiful location on the mountains with a view of the sea. 10 minutes to beautiful beaches, sometimes even completely empty. Very clean. Great atmosphere! The owners and stuff are amazing and very friendly people. In the evenings you can count on a great, very tasty Greek dinner. You can definitely relax in this place.

The villas are nicely located on the hills behind the shore (the closest beach is 2 km away, Triopetra is just a few km farther). It is all very quiet, with a nice pool, garden and patio areas to relax. There is a very nice view from the place. The place also offers excellent, home-made breakfast and meals, which is very convenient.

Magnificent place and view, but imperfect overall experience

The location is just amazing, overlooking the sea with such a magnificent view. We found it also extremely convenient to explore this part of the southern coast. The accommodations are very nicely renovated.

Beautiful location and great accomodation

Beautiful resort located on the hill with sea view. The beach is 15 min drive only but there is also a nice swimming pool. The location is quite, very clean and well mantained, ideal for a relaxing holiday. There is a family restaurant within the resort where they serve excellent local food prepared by the owners. All the staff is very kind and always available to meet your requests

Great place with great owners that give you the feeling of most welcome guests that are perfectly cared for.

The place was very nice and comfortable. Great garden to rest by the pleasant pool. The tavern run by the property was offering variety of irresistible genuine Greek food cooked with love and heart. Apartment was cosy and clean and the linen was frequently changed.

Hard to imagine better place to stay! Quiet with enough privacy for everyone, fresh green grass and other vegetation, shadow under a lot of trees. And very friendly owners and staff. Simply it is like you visit very good friends!

One if the best and most complete apartments we have ever stayed in. Seperate A/C for each bedroom and the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, large dining table, comfortable sofa and everything was very clean and in perfect working order. The swimming pool is wonderful as well. You need a car to get there and get around in the neighborhood, but that's part of being on the more quiet, beautiful south side of Crete. Some of the most beautiful beaches are within a 10 to 20 minute drive away. These beaches aren't crowded, not even in the high season. The owners are super friendly and it's absolutely worth having breakfast and/or dinner at the restaurant of Vrachos Villas. The view of the Mediterranean from the apartment is breathtaking. All on all highly recommended to everyone looking for a incredible value for money location with all possible amenities and comforts in a very beautiful and quiet location.

Been there twice now, kids insist that we go a 3rd time.

Great, small "village" of about 10 unita, good sized pool and friendly, familiar atmosphere. Let "mama" cook for you in the evenings for a relax end of the day!!
