Vacances de rêve
Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette villa et nous aurions pu rester encore plus longtemps. La villa est fantastique, très lumineuse, avec une super vue sur la mer et sur les collines. Nous sommes à la fois tranquilles mais pas complètement isolés, avec quelques villas aux alentours. La villa est très bien équipée, avec tout le confort nécessaire. Nous avons eu un accueil très gentil de la part de Stathis qui nous a en plus accueilli avec un panier de bienvenue (vin, jus orange, pain de mie, œuf…). La villa est décorée avec goût. La piscine est de belle taille, nous en avons bien profité. La villa est bien placée, pas loin d’Almirida ( que nous avons beaucoup aimé pour les restos et la plage), pas loin du village de Vamos (typique village crétois avec de bons restaurants et tavernes) mais il faut vraiment avoir une voiture pour se déplacer. Bref nous reviendrons sans hésiter dans cette villa qui a grandement participé à nos vacances réussies en Crete. Merci à Stathis pour son accueil, Merci également à Patrick pour ses conseils et sa disponibilité lors de nos échanges fréquents concernant l’organisation de cette semaine.

Beautiful and Relaxing Holiday
Villa Selene was as gorgeous and stylish as it looks on the photos. We had a wonderful two weeks! We had everything we needed at the villa - it is really well-equipped and was was spotlessly clean. In a quiet area, its location means the views were stunning - we watched many beautiful sunsets from the veranda. Location-wise it was super convenient - being in walking distance of two taverns and a shop - and there are supermarkets and many restaurants within close driving distance. There are some lovely beaches in the area. We were there end of Sept /early October - quite late in the season - but apart from one day, the weather was sunny and very warm. We loved it, and would highly recommend it! Many thanks to Patrick, and to Stathis for looking after us so well.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus, ein wundervoller Urlaub mit allem was dazugehört.
Wie waren insgesamt zwei Wochen in diesem wundervollen Ferienhaus und haben die Zeit in vollen Zügen genossen. Am Pool entspannen, abends gemütlich grillen oder in den umliegenden Tavernen leckeres Essen genießen. Wir sind jetzt seit einer Woche wieder zu Hause und vermissen Kreta, das Haus und die ganze Gegend wirklich sehr. Sofern wir eine Frage hatten, wurde diese sofort von Stathis oder Patrick beantwortet, es war ein wirklich traumhafter Urlaub. Danke dafür.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Prinsen

Host profile image
Hello and welcome, I am Patrick Prinsen. Living in Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands. I often travel around the world, both business and private. Since I discovered Crete in 1998, I have been a regular visitor to the beautiful island.
In 2004 I bought a first piece of land to build a holiday home. It is so relaxing there! Later, 2 more luxury holiday homes were built on my behalf, Villa Helios and Villa Selene. From 2020 I like to rent these 2 villas to you!
Come and taste Cretan hospitality for yourself!
