Un vrai coin de paradis

Vue incroyable et confort absolu. Notre séjour fut idyllique dans ce coin très peu touristique de Crête. Le logement était à la hauteur de nos attentes. Les nombreuses attentions de Penelope nous ont beaucoup touchées et Nina qui s’est occupé de nous sur place était aux petits soins. Recommande à 1000%.

Beautiful Solitude

Altera Caves is an absolutely beautiful and private setting with its own private beach that was usually just us or at most, one other couple. The owners (Penelope & Demetri) and Magararita were so kind and friendly. Being on the south side of Crete is so peaceful. Be ready to rent a car to get to the Cave's and to tour around. Crete is a big island and no matter where you stay you will probably need the car.

Meerblick soweit das Auge reicht

Wir hatten soooo einen schönen Urlaub in der Villa Ourania. Es war unser erster Urlaub mit Baby und Nina hat uns wirklich süß versorgt wenn uns an etwas fehlte. (Hochstuhl und Mixer für die Babynahrung wurde innerhalb eines Tages besorgt, und das ohne Aufforderung :)) Die Unterkunft ist mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Der Blick ist einfach umwerfend. Sucht man einen Ort zum absoluten entspannen, bist du hier bei Altera Cave echt richtig. Hier steht die Zeit. Und mein Interior-Design-Herz schlägt hier wirklich höher!

Outstanding property!

These villa's are something else, beautifully designed with the best views to wake up to every morning. Hosts were fantastic, our house lady Nina couldn't have done any more for us from checking the pool every day, changing our towels and bed linen and baking us delicious cake! Penelope and her team are super efficient and again couldn't do more for us. The property is excellent standard and if you want to get away from the normal tourist trail this is the place to be, a true gem which we will definitely be returning to in the future. Just stunning !
