First class Hostess and villa
We have just completed the most relaxing holiday ever. Ester was in touch with us before our arrival and made everything so smooth. We we're greeted by Ester and her son Nikos on arrival and we're greeted by lots of Goodies. Homemade meal, wine and fully stocked fridge and pantry. Which was much appreciated Easy location for activities ( we hired a car) but also on a bus route. The view's are amazing . We wanted for nothing with extra treats dropped off all week . There is a Lidl close by for any extra shopping needed. The pool was a Very welcome addition in the intense heat of the day, as was the Aircon. A stunning villa with the most amazing Hosts. Highly recommended. You Will not find more attentive hosts than Ester and Nikos. 5***

Perfect hosts and beautiful home
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Luxury Villa Karteros! Esther and Nikos greeted us with homemade treats and even stocked the house with refreshments and goodies. Their hospitality is outstanding and we felt welcomed the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is perfectly outfitted with w etching you need. The pool is refreshing and outdoor space is a slice of paradise for relaxation and fun. Highly recommend this beautiful property and amazing hosts! Thank you for sharing your home and for all the kindness and help you provided.

Fantastic vacation in Iraklio/ vacances fantastiques à Héraklion
We just came back in Canada, after a 2 week stay at Villa Karteros. This villa is a WONDERFUL place to stay for families. The house is beautiful, very comfortable and clean, and there is plenty of room to accomodate even a very big family. The pictures do not give justice to this home at all. It has high end furniture and household appliances. Moreover, the kitchen is very very well equiped. Outside the house, everything has been thought of to provide a relaxing and comfortable environment for the guests. There are many covered areas that provide shade when needed (with sofas, a dining table, ping pong table, pool table, etc.) The pool is quite big and very well maintained. In addition to the above-mentioned comments about the Villa, I have to underline the great hospitality and remarkable generosity of the hosts. They did everything possible to make our holidays in Kriti unforgettable. They cooked cretan traditional meals and desserts for us and we were even lucky enough to taste the wine they are making. Honestly, they made us feel at home and were always available whenever we needed an advice or help during our stay. Thank you very much for such a wonderful vacation and, most importantly, for your friendship. Lucie, François and Émilie

Awesome Place with lovely owners
Our visit at this wonderful villa couldn’t have been better. It’s a super comfortable place with literally everything that you need. Besides the owners are super kind and welcoming. We even received some delicious home cooked meals by them! What we were most happy about was, that the place was super clean and tidy when we arrived. There is also direct bus connection to Heraklion center as well as a 10min walk to the beach. 10/10 would recommend to stay in Luxury Villa Karteros if you’re seeking an enjoyable place to relax.

Great Heraklion Home!
What a wonderful vacation rental and host family! Beautiful home… so comfortable and well appointed! They literally thought of everything we might need to make our Heraklion vacation perfect. We arrived in the early evening after a long day of travel and were greeted by Esther and her family. We were so excited to see that we had a delicious homemade Greek dinner waiting for us! Also a fresh pot of coffee as we needed a little pick me up. We so appreciated the hospitality. I can’t think of anything at all that could have made our stay more perfect. I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Heraklion… you won’t be disappointed!
