Beautiful spacious villa
We have a had a wonderful week in the villa, great facilities with everything you need. Good location and added bonus of a midweek clean and courtesy pass at Baja beach club. We will miss it and the visiting cats. Thank you Eleni and Etouri.

Beautiful stay at Villa Caneva
Just returned from our stay here. We were warmly welcomed by Eleni the owner who showed us around the stunning villa, the villa itself is beautifully renovated-rustic from the outside with the most gorgeous patio/eating areas and lovely inside with all mod cons and everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. I was slightly concerned about not having air con downstairs ( it is in all bedrooms) but honestly it’s not needed as the walls are so thick it keeps the area cool.We spent most of of time around the pool area which is set in beautiful gardens and has a great outdoor kitchen too. The villa is a short walk away from 3 Tavernas and we enjoyed several meals at all of them and highly recommend each one. Honestly this is the perfect place to just get away from it all and Crete is just so beautiful. Teens and adults all had a fab holiday and we will definitely come back. My daughter loved the 2 friendly “villa” cats who she named leni and Larry ☺️ They made her holiday. Don’t hesitate to book this villa ,it is exactly like the photos and the reviews say it all. 10/10 .
