Had a lovely time at this villa. The villa was well equipped and the welcome pack was one of the best we’ve had. Staff/ Fiona came to clean twice a week. There is nowhere to hang towels/ clothes in the first floor bathroom which could be an issue if there are several people using it. Shade was limited by the pool as no parasol and there was no table tennis table ( as in listing). None of this was a major issue for us and would not stop us staying here again.

Had a lovely stay, the house was plenty big enough for our party of 8. You definitely need a car to get around. Almyrida has a really lovely beach with plenty of bars and restaurants for our 2 week stay. Great atmosphere there. Also visited Plaka for a couple of meals and Gavalochori and would highly recommend both. Only criticism is the tree could do with trimming as when sitting on balcony we couldn’t see the amazing view of the sea (see last photo). Other than that we had a great time and would definitely recommend to other people thinking of visiting this part of Crete.

Beautiful villa in the hills with stunning views. Arrival was easy with an email with information on key collection and very good directions from the airport, which was great as this was our first time driving abroad. We arrived to a few small supplies, oranges, coffee pods, along with local wine, honey and olive oil. The villa is located a short drive from both Vamos and Gavalohori, which have small shops, butchers and Tavernas. I would say a car is essential here, I wouldn't have walked to either place as the roads are steep and narrow. The villas itself was lovely, and it looks just as it does in the pictures. The outside lighting is wonderful and creates a fabulous atmosphere on an evening. There is a huge balcony with two seating areas accessible from the kitchen/living room and the double bedroom. We spent most evenings out here or sat around the pool enjoying the stunning views from wherever we sat. The pool itself was great and plenty big enough for our family of 3 adults and 2 children, and numerous floaties! The area around the pool was equally impressive, with plenty of sunloungers, a canopy lounger, and also a table and chairs. There was a table tennis table and 2 bikes which could be used too Previous reviews have stated these were in poor condition however the bikes looked very new and of quality and the table tennis was fine, perhaps they have been replaced recently. Inside was lovely and traditional. Small rooms but perfectly adequate and very clean

Our family and friends enjoyed the beautiful view and pool. Frankie and the housekeepers are super helpful, attentive and friendly. Be prepared for the mosquitos as they are relentless. We would recommend this villa if you are looking for a place that is quiet (you may hear some goats and sheep), close to a few beaches, and has a spectacular view!
