Beautiful villa - clean and homely
A lovely, comfortable, place to relax and switch off, with the pool to keep the kids happy, and all modern conveniences (and very comfortable beds!). Small grocery shops nearby, and reasonably priced restaurants, too. Rural and reasonably secluded. Enjoyed hearing the sheep across the lane, making friends with the local cats, and seeing large birds of prey above us. We did have to contend with large numbers of wasps and ants, which at times made eating outside difficult, but that will have been the time of year. The dirt track to the villa is also not for the faint-hearted! If hiring a car, I would suggest an SUV or something similar. Just a short drive to beaches where there are lots of places to eat and activities etc, and some interesting historical sites.

Perfect holiday
Beautiful well equipped villa, lovely plot. We spent lazy days by the pool, and chilled evenings sipping wine watching the sunset, from the roof terrace, outstanding views of the mountains and bay. We were sad to leave and hope to return.

The house looks exactly like on the pictures, it is very nicely done and cute, you can tell it is done with love. We had a few issues like not having access to water for 2 days when there were some works and it was cut off for a bit. We knew there was no air conditioning but it was more inconvenient than we expected and the fans were very old so it didn't help much. Whoever is cleaning the house doesn't pay attention to do it properly and there is a lot of dust in there. In this price it seems a bit off to not have good internet connection at the house. The fridge is unable to freeze anything or even make it cold enough. Before our arrival the communication was great, Jane was extremely polite, however, on our day of leaving when we should check out, we were a bit late and that cause some issues as Jane and her husband came to the house with a bad attitude, not even introducing themselves when we saw them for the very first time, just starting running around the house and rushing us. Which we understand because they had more guests coming, but to at least introduce themselves and say hi would be much more appropriate. That left a bad aftertaste for sure. Overall we liked our stay but there are things to work on for certain. Local people are simply amazing!

Lovely!
The property was even more than we hoped for and much much nicer than the photos suggest (but it is a difficult property to photograph)!! The little house had everything we needed and was comfortable and felt very homely. The views both of the sea and the mountains were superb - we even managed to watch a proper moon rise from the roof terrace which was stunning. Jane was a delight to deal with and made everything as easy as possible for us. My only suggestion would be insect netting on the two living room windows but that is being ultra picky! We would highly recommend this villa and thank you Jane for making us so welcome!

Lovely house with a view!
Together with our two boys, aged 14 and 15, we had a great holiday at this place. We loved the pool, the privacy and the quiet sound of the bells from the sheep nearby. This house is a hidden gem, far away from the mass tourism in Crete. We took the car for a morning coffee in Vamos and some fresh bread and then made a plan for the rest of the day. Thank you Jane, we used your book quite often (very helpful!) and thanks especially for letting us stay the last day!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Smith

Host profile image
We are in our 50's, living in Brighton and dreaming of the day we can spend more than 2 weeks at our Cretan bolt hole.

Why they chose this property

We first visited Greece in 1990 and fell in love with this beautiful country. Having visited many of the islands we first came to Crete in 1997 and were stunned by its fantastic scenery, charming villages and the sense of peace and tranquillity.

With some trepidation we finally took the plunge and bought our property 10 years ago. It hasn't all been plain sailing as Greek bureaucracy would test the patience of the saintliest saint. But we don't regret our decision for a minute as we love every second that we spend at our house even the constant DIY! The sheer joy of waking every morning to clear blue skies, sunshine and silence is still not something we take for granted. Roll on retirement!!

What makes this property unique

There are lots of things we love about our villa but I think the main benefits are:

- Beautiful panoramic views

- Sense of peace and tranquillity, often all you can hear is the hum of cicadas and birdsong

- There are so many wonderful places to visit all within easy reach
