“Excellent stay in Crete with amazing views”
the second time I stayed at Anemone. As great as the first time. Aliki and Vrettos are the sweetest hosts and so is everyone who works on the property. We came for 5 days and then extended for another 5 as nothing compares with the amazing view you have from the apartment. Overall is a great stay in Crete and reasonable price. The Voulisima beach is walking distance, and so it's a secluded little beach just across the street from the property through the olive trees. We will definitely come back

It is really peaceful but at the same close to restaurants and stores. The beach nearby has one of the most amazing clearest seas that I've ever seen and it is not super crowded (at least when I went).

“Amazing apartment with an awesome view to the sea. Recommended!”
We stayed in an amazing two bedroom apartment, with an even more amazing view of the seaside. The apartment was clean, in a slightly “old style” . We loved our stay so much that we decided to stay another night, we would have stayed longer but unfortunately the apartment was booked for the dates ahead. The owners were very kind and very helpful with any questions we had. Also, the housekeeper was very kind, and promptly solved the small issue we had with the WiFi. There’s is also parking available in front of the apartments, which is very convenient. And the beautiful Voulisma beach is around 7/10 minutes walking distance. Definitely recommended and will return.

Many thanks to Aliki, who made our stay as pleasant as possible. The towels were refreshed every two days. The garbage is picked up every day. When we were not satisfied with the air conditioning, Aliki sent a craftsman. Price performance ratio cannot be exceeded. There is a sand path directly opposite the accommodation that leads you directly to the beach. The loungers there are much cheaper and not overcrowded. We can recommend the accommodation with a clear conscience.

“Good time in Crete!”
I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful vacation home! The house itself was lovely, very clean and comfortable, with a stunning view that made every moment special. It had everything I needed to relax and enjoy my time. What truly made the experience unforgettable were the amazing hosts, Aliki and Vrettos. They are such kind and welcoming people — always available, helpful, and full of warmth. Their hospitality really made me feel at home. And I can't forget to mention their adorable dog, Aura! She was so sweet and added an extra touch of joy. I truly had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

“It's unique experience!”
An extremely charming traditional apartment, very clean, the terraces with gorgeous view of the sea create the perfect atmosphere to enjoy time with loved ones. Be aware though, it's a little bit challenging for less experienced drivers/less fit people to access the place by car and all the stairs to climb to get to the house or to the bedroom. However, it's worth it! Voulisma beach nearby is simply amazing.

“Perfect”
Very beautiful place, with nice panorama. Dont worry about road nearby, it is on a hill and you dont hear the cars. Room was very clean, and hosts very friendly. Beautiful beach nearby (4 mins by car, or 15 mins by foot downhill)

“It’s worth paying more for a comfortable bed and a air conditioner that works properly”
The view was spectacular but the photos regarding our room and view were taken from around the building and there are about 20 units/accommodation around the building. Aliki provided a lovely piece of moussaka upon arrival.
