Villa Eugenia delivered everything we hoped for and more. It’s a beautifully maintained, spacious home with views of the hills and sea. Inside, the villa was clean, stylish and very well-equipped. Every corner felt thoughtfully arranged, creating a luxurious yet comfortable vibe. The addition of poolside cabanas was a thoughtful touch—offering much-needed shade during the peak heat. Whether escaping the midday sun or lounging post-swim, they added to the sense of comfort and luxury. We were lucky to find two fantastic local restaurants just a short drive from the villa. Both offered authentic Cretan cuisine and warm, welcoming service—the kind of places you revisit more than once. They added a whole new layer to the experience, and were ideal for relaxed evenings out without venturing far. Our host was responsive and discreet, with genuinely helpful suggestions that made exploring Crete even more memorable. A quick tip: having a car is essential if you want to visit Crete’s main districts, beaches, and historic sites. The villa is tucked away, but mobility gives you access to everything the island has to offer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-appointed base to discover Crete.
