“An excellent location for a quiet relaxing stay.”
We had a wonderful stay as a couple with one set of our parents. Hosts were exceptional and we loved the welcome basket after a long day of travel. The villa had everything we needed and more and the pool was fabulous on hot days with plenty of and amazing sunsets from the balcony. Three different spots to sit at during the day. Easy parking. Lovely and quiet location. Everything was spotless less clean and comfortable. Short walk from the village for shops and amazing restaurants (Elias and Thyme was outstanding). We couldn’t have asked for a better location for a relaxing holiday! Thank you Giannis! Book here. You won’t regret it!

“Great place for a relaxing stay.”
Great location outside of town. The place was very clean and close to a rocky small beach that you could swim in. Large outdoor area with plenty of seats and an amazing view.

“I recommend it for families with children. For us (2 adults + 2 kids), it was perfect.”
The entire property consists of 3 completely separate cottages. We spent a week in the middle one – without a pool. The place is managed by a very friendly family. Despite a significant delay in our original check-in time (due to a flight delay), there was no problem with picking up the keys. We were welcomed by a nice host, and in the cottage, there was a generous welcome package waiting for us: sweets, wine, fruits, etc. We communicated without any problems in English. The cottage itself is spacious and fully equipped: 2 separate bedrooms (each with air conditioning), a living room with a kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower, and three terraces – at any time of day, you can find a shaded spot. We received a set of towels, including beach towels. During the week-long stay, there was one cleaning with a change of bed linen and towels. The place is very clean, with attention to details like color-coordinated plates ;-). It's a quiet area with a nice view of the bay. Close to a rocky descent to the water (there are also spots where you can jump into deep water), and the beach in Almyrida (as well as plenty of restaurants and the center of tourist life, which fortunately cannot be seen or heard from the villa) is just a 5-minute walk away.

“A lovely two weeks spent at this excellent two bedroom villa.”
A good position with a lovely view of the sea and beyond. The villa is close to tavernas - an easy walk. the owner Giannis was very helpful and is often at one of the villas, ready to advise if needed.

“Wonderful Villa”
Giannis and his family were very friendly, we had a warm welcome and they had prepared few things to eat and special wine for us. The villa was clean and with everything you need to spend some days, it had also a private pool we could enjoy. The villa have an amazing views and is close to a small town with beach and some nice restaurant to enjoy evenings as well. We had a really nice time there.

“Unbelievable views, great location, comfortable villa with great facilities and lovely hosts”
We stayed for a blissful fortnight in Domina Villas in June and everything was perfect. The hosts were so friendly, kind and helpful but never obtrusive - they left a lovely welcome pack and at one point gave us some delicious homemade food and raki! The view from the villa is amazing and it’s right by the sea and just a short walk to the village. The villa itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We had to do some work while we were there and the WiFi was brilliant. The bathroom had recently been refurbished and it’s gorgeous. There’s constant boiling water and the shower pressure was brilliant. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we hope to come back!

Everything is fine, as expected and as presented. in addition, a super small bay directly below the villa. Accommodation has a convenient and strategic location. There are plenty of interesting places in the area and it was also easy to go on a longer trip. We spent a wonderful holiday here.

“A wonderful place for a family reunion. i want to go back.”
The friendliness and helpfulness of our host, Iannis (not sure on the spelling). Nothing was ever too much. We had a car accident and difficulty with an airline booking, and Iannis was there on his phone, sorting our problems. The apartment is very comfortable, well equipped, and with beautiful views, and with a beaut little swimming alcove 50m away for that morning swim. We stayed a week and the location was also great for day trips exploring western Crete.

Great (traditional Greek) property with a breathtaking view in a fabulous location. Only 3 min walk from a stunning sandy beach with many restaurants and bars. I have to recommend one particular restaurant called Makis. Great family run restaurant with amazing food and lovely owners who look after their customers well. A huge thanks to Giannis - the owner of the property- and his family for making our stay a very special one. I arrived two hours before the check in time and Giannis and his wife were super accommodating and allowed me to check in early. They also arranged a private transfer to the Heraklion airport for my parents and allowed us to extend our stay by one more night. Nothing was ever a problem for them and they went the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The property itself is simple but very functional and it is situated on a cliff top with the most amazing and breathtaking view of the sea. I can’t recommend this property enough for a memorable family retreat! Once again, a huge thank you to Giannis and his family for looking after us so well and we will definitely be back next year! :)

We like everything: the house is nice, clean, comfortable and convenient for a long stay. Booking pictures are true. If you what to cook, the kitchen is good equipped. The bathroom is clean. There are a big nice terrace with an amazing sea and mountain view (perfect for morning yoga!) and a well-cared garden with grill facilities. The location is perfect: quite, but not far from restaurants and shops, Almyrida sand beach is only 5 min to walk. The owners are friendly and helpful. When we arrived, we found water, a bottle of wine, coffe, fruit and some other food in the kitchen. When we asked something (like extra towels, etc.), we have got it. We would highly recommend this accommodation.
