“Perfect family trip”

A Perfect Cretan Escape – Thoughtful Luxury at Villa Nova We had an amazing 10-day stay at Villa Nova and can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. The villa is immaculately maintained and beautifully presented, but what really sets it apart is the attention to detail. It goes far beyond the usual welcome of a fruit bowl and bottle of wine—every little touch had clearly been thought through with care and generosity. From makeup wipes in the bathroom to a bag for wet swimwear, frozen cup holders in the freezer, and a secure gated car port—Villa Nova had everything we didn’t even know we needed. It’s luxury done right: quiet, tasteful, and incredibly thoughtful. A huge part of what made our stay so special was our concierge, Roula, who was absolutely brilliant. She handled every question and concern—from transport logistics to dinner reservations—with a personal touch that made us feel so well looked after. The villa was the perfect base for exploring both Chania and Rethymno old towns, where we enjoyed magical sunset dinners. We spotted turtles while pedalling across the serene waters of Lake Kournas, ate fire-grilled lamb by the waterfalls of Argyroupoli, indulged in superb seafood at Thalami Fish Taverna, at mother’s cheese pies at Lagos and learned about traditional olive oil production at the Mellisakis Mill. And while we visited a number of beaches, the evening we spent at the quiet one just a short stroll from the villa was truly unforgettable. Villa Nova gave us the space to unwind, the comfort to feel at home, and the location to explore some of the most beautiful parts of Crete. Roula’s support made it even better. We’re already dreaming of a return visit.

“Nova (2 bedroom) is fantastic, Karga (4 bedroom) is out of this world”

We stayed in Nova only. Perfect location, very modern, great pool, needs nothing

“The perfect villa in a beautiful holiday town.”

Exceptional villa. Completely 5 * facilities. Spotlessly clean. Very large with everything you could want. Pool was fantastic. Views are the best in the whole town. En suite with every room. 3 minutes to the little town and beach.
