I cannot rate this villa, the owner and the surrounding area high enough. Every single aspect was fantastic. Georgia provides a wealth of information about the villa and local area and is always on hand for advice, without being intrusive. Georgia and Yannis are lovely people, our flight was delayed 5 hours and they still waited until 5:30am for our group to arrive, thank you!! The villa is stunning, clean and tidy with everything and more that you would need. This is about the 10th villa we have stayed in and it is number 1 rated.

Fabulous holiday
From start to finish Georgia and her family we’re fantastic hosts and everything about the villa was brilliant. The grandchildren loved the pool and being able to relax around the villa was great. The actual views were stunning in real life. The Greek hospitality is second to none and everyone was very helpful in the shops and tavernas. Our whole family really enjoyed the holiday and being able to attend a Greek wedding was the icing on the cake. None of us wanted to leave. Xx

Smukt og dejligt
Huset er skønt med to etager velegnet til to familier. Lækker pool med helt fantastisk udsigt. Det er ude på landet og man kan høre dyr overalt - geder, høns, fugle osv. Wifi fungerer godt. Værten er utrolig sød og hjælpsom. Hun hjalp os med virkelig mange ting som feks billeje, taxa og bådtur og reagerede med det samme på alle vores henvendelser. Man skal have bil, da det ligger lidt øde. Man kan køre til mange små strande, byer osv. vi havde et fantastisk ophold og jeg vil helt sikkert anbefale huset til familier, der gerne vil have et skønt hus med fantastisk udsigt og meget venlig værter.

Great holiday
We had a great holiday staying in the villa, which was plenty big enough for our party of 6 adults and 1 child. Georgia and Yannis were perfect hosts, always replying to queries and giving us lots of recommendations for restaurants and places to see. They met us with traditional Cretan pastries on arrival and cooked a delicious meal for us one evening. We also went with them to a village wedding of 1000 people which was amazing. There are lots of walks around the area. If you want to really get away from tourists and stay in a proper Cretan village then this is the place.
