Thank you very much for your lovely review!
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the villa and its beautiful sunset views. Knowing that you enjoyed every minute of your stay truly means a lot to us.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Crete again soon!
Warmest regards,
CVR Team
Spacious and well appointed villa with everything you need. Welcome food pack was great as we arrived at midnight. Reasonable walk to shops and tavernas so a car is useful. Lots of places to eat and drink along the coast road - not expensive at all.
The house was very nice and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. The host was very helpful and communicative. We got tips and were helped when in need of a taxi. The villa looked even better than in the pictures and we had a great stay. Definitely recommend!
Our holiday at Villa VerdeBlu was brilliant. The villa was exactly as it is pictured in the listing. The views are beautiful and watching the sunset from the top floor every evening before dinner was amazing.
Our 2 girls both enjoyed the pool every day and it was warm enough to still be in there on an evening while the BBQ was cooking.
It was over 30 degrees every day while we were there but the aircon in the villa was brilliant.
We hired a car as we wanted to go further afield, but the local town with plenty of shops, tavernas and the beach was only a short walk away.
Overall we would definitely recommend staying here. :-)

There was a lot to like about the property, suggestions for improvements:On the positive side:-The house is very comfortable; large rooms and common spaces, good for 6-8 people (like 2 families with young kids)-Welcome drinks-Furniture is nicely selected and mostly well-maintained and clean-Bathrooms, floors, and kitchen were fairly clean-The kitchen is really well-equipped and great for long stays-The house also has a lot of necessities to cover long stays-Outside areas are beautiful, though somewhat disconnected from the main house, which is not ideal (you have to go outside of the house to the pool)-Location is good, close to the restaurants and beach; the closest beach is nice on the outside but very rocky inside, and was mostly closed in August due to high winds/current. Difficult for older adults/kids, but more accessible beaches nearby by car.On the negative side:-The house has not been properly maintained for a few years; worn out paint, patch jobs, cabinets that need replacement. Property management said no time in middle of season, but these are issues that have clearly been around for years.-The electric setup needs maintenance. Multiple bulbs not working, or having mismatched harsh light. For the 20 days of stay but the last, no pool lights; bulbs dead and had not been replaced, so we couldn't use the pool at night.-Garden and outdoor spaces need some careOverall, we enjoyed our stay, but feel property could have been better kept for the price.
Es war schöner als erwartet. Ein wunderschönes Haus, mega Blick, tolle Lage. Der Kaffee morgens am Granatapfelbaum oder am Pool oder auf der Fachterrasse mit Meerblick, einfach wunderschön. Danke
Unser Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienhaus in Kreta war schlichtweg traumhaft! Die ruhige Wohngegend schuf eine entspannte Atmosphäre, die perfekt war, um dem Alltagsstress zu entkommen. Nur etwa 900 Meter vom Strand entfernt, konnten wir bequem dorthin spazieren, was bei Temperaturen von 37 Grad jedoch zu einer kleinen Herausforderung wurde 😊.
Der atemberaubende Meerblick von der Terrasse hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die gut ausgestattete Küche ermöglichte es uns, köstliche Mahlzeiten zuzubereiten und gemeinsame Abendessen an dem großen Tisch zu genießen, an dem sogar acht Personen Platz finden konnten. Jedes Zimmer mit einer Klimaanlage ausgestattet zu haben, erwies sich angesichts der sommerlichen Temperaturen als absoluter Segen.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist die ausgezeichnete Kommunikation mit Katarina. Sie war stets erreichbar und hat sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Ihre Tipps und Empfehlungen haben unseren Aufenthalt noch schöner gemacht. Es war spürbar, wie sehr sie sich um das Wohl ihrer Gäste kümmert.
Die Insel Kreta selbst ist einfach zauberhaft. Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend, die Menschen sind unglaublich herzlich und gastfreundlich. Wir haben großartige Begegnungen gehabt und uns sofort willkommen gefühlt.
Alles in allem war dies der perfekte Urlaub, und wir können dieses Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Danke, Katerina, für alles!
Ein wunderschönes Haus, sehr gepflegt, mit schönem Poolbereich. Ruhig gelegen, trotzdem nicht weit weg vom Strand. Sehr erholsam.
