A lovely rustic traditional Greek Villa. Located in the hills overlooking the Platanius town area. Good size rooms with pretty much everything you need for your stay. Probably one of the best views from a terrace we’ve had on our villa holidays. A sea view in one direction and sunset off to the other. One of the most peaceful and tranquil places you can be. 1hr 30 mins from Elafonissi beach & 45 mins from Falasarna beach by car, two of the best beaches in Crete. Or 30mins to Kissamos harbour where you can take a boat Trip to Balos beach for the day. Only small criticisms would be is the Villa could do with a little bit of money spent in places and the pool for adults, is very shallow, around 4ft (if that) but for us, it didn’t stop us loving the place. The owner is a nice old chap who lives in a small annexed part of the property at the back. He’s always about if you need him but never in your way. We really liked Lola his dog who spent a lot of time with us on our terrace also. Overall, this villa is located in a great area, is a great size and has some of the best views you can hope for on a Villa holiday. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook it if I were to revisit this area and definitely recommend it to others.

We all enjoyed our stay, a comfortable spacious house with great views to the hills and the sea, only a few minutes drive to the coast. Nice pool and great TV. Great communication with the property manager and well looked after by Dimitris.

The villa had everything and more that was advertised, It was clean and spacious. The views were out of this world and the Sunsets are amazing. Close to shops and restaurants, 25min walk down but taxi back up or 5 mins in the car. Lola & Vana are such lovely and welcoming dogs - owner on call. We have booked for next year as it was so good Annemarie & party of 4

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely house on top of the hill. The location is perfect, very quiet and relaxing. A perfect ‘home from home’ in which to unwind. The clear nights give you fabulous views of the Milky Way while sitting on the balcony, glass of wine in hand. The view during the day is just as good, with the white mountains on one side and the hills and sea on the other. The location is approximately 2-3 miles from the sea and restaurants and bars are a plenty in the resorts if that’s what you want. We tended to buy food from the local supermarkets and prepared most of our own meals at the house as there is every thing that you need in the kitchen in which to do so. The owner is very generous and his dogs were always there to greet you when you came home from a day out. We will certainly miss them. Villa Papoura is also a perfect location from which to explore the western end of Crete. There is so much to see and having a car is a must for this property if you want see the beautiful sights that this part of Crete has to offer This was our first visit to this property and indeed Crete but we will definitely be returning to both. Thank you Dimitris and Fabio for making our holiday so enjoyable.
