Fabuleux
Excellent accueil. L'hôte très prévenant, très serviable, très agréable, très disponible. Petites attentions à notre arrivée : fruits, eau....etc que nous avons beaucoup appréciées. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette superbe villa. Vue exceptionnelle, propreté irréprochable, mobilier et literie impeccable. C'est la plus belle maison que nous ayons louée ces dernières années en Crête. De plus, le service d'assistance est au top. Ils ont pris un rdv chez le medecin pour ma fille qui était malade et ont pris des nouvelles. Nous vous la conseillons vivement pour votre séjour.

Eine wunderschöne Villa
Wir haben nun die Villa das zweite mal besucht und wie beim ersten Mal blieben keine Wünsche offen. In der wunderschönen Villa ist alles vorhanden was man für einen perfekten Urlaub braucht. Der Ausblick vom beheizten Pool ist grandios. Alle Zimmer haben ein großes Doppelbett und eigenes Bad mit Dusche und WC. Wie im Hotel. Alles ist sauber und die Villa wird alle drei Tage gereinigt. In der näheren Umgebung sind mehrere Tavernen vorhanden die man mit den Auto in 10 Minuten erreicht. Es war wieder ein sehr schöner Urlaub

Brilliant stay in a beautiful place
Even better than the pictures. Worth getting the private chef with the Cretan menu - delicious. One of the most beautiful settings and best-designed houses I've ever stayed in.

Fabulous Villa in stunning location.
All you could ask for in a Villa. We were 2 families of 4 with children aged from 6-11yrs old. The pool was perfect, and the villa was modern, clean and very well equipped. High spec finishes in all areas and stunning views down to the Agean see. Every room was fitted with Excellent aircon (which was needed because of 40C heat!) and the kitchen facilities were great too. The concierge WhatsApp service from Etouri was really useful for finding out about all the local hotspots. Two excellent recommendations being the private chef service (a must try) and a sunset cruise from Bali on a catamaran. They also sorted out contacts for car hire for us and the villa owner did a shop for our arrival as per our instructions. The only small downside was that due to the fire risk we weren’t able to use the stunning bbq area. This was totally understandable though and did not take away from the fabulous 2 week stay. There’s so much to like about the Villa and it’s location, if you book it you won’t be disappointed! The cleaners can 3 times during our stay and each time replaced the towels. The pool was cleaned twice and the garden tended to twice as well. Cannot fault the Villa in anyway. One of the best holidays we’ve ever had.

Fabulous villa in a stunning location
We arrived late, after midnight but found the villa easily. The first morning the owner came to greet us and explain everything and had kindly got in supplies for breakfast. He was helpful and informative about the villa and location. The villa is well equipped, the decor is modern but comfortable and there is so much space for us all. We loved the views and the pool was perfect. Altogether a wonderful week in perfect surroundings.
