A fantastic stay from start to finish. Everything was as expected. Clean, private and everything we spoke about and requested throughout the stay was done. I would 100% recommend and would love to come back and visit one day.
Stella and her mum were very helpful and lovely apple cake.
Generous food etc was left in fridge which was perfect for our first night.
The villa is lovely, great pool, pool
Room. The local beach was beautiful and the Beach tavern highly recommended for good local Greek food.
The Villa is absolutely stunning, modern & spotlessly clean with everything in the right place and a place for everything.
Contact with the fantasics hosts George & Stella was first class.
The views from the terrace and upper balcony are amazing.
We have travelled the world and can honestly say this is our favourite place. We will definitely be back.
Max & Dee
Even more stunning than the photographs.
Accommodating 4 couples with plenty of room. Lovely swimming pool and jacuzzi.
Amazing outdoor dining area with bbq facilities and also an oven.
Stunning views. I never got tired of looking at the views everyday. Villa was in great location with sea views.Stella the host was so friendly and could not do enough for us. Was there if we needed anything and was extremely generous.
Fantastically well equipped villa with spectacular views
The villa is vast with a great pool table and small gym. The terrace has great views of the sea as does the balcony.
A short walk down a steep hill to the beach and a welcoming bar and restaurant.
There are a number of other excellent restaurants a short drive away and further afield there is plenty to do - we rented a boat from Agios Nikalaos.
Stella was on hand with any issue you may have (although we had none) and with some good suggestions of where to go and what to see.
I would highly recommend the villa and the wonderful Stella.
Villa Ariadne is a beautiful home with a great view of the sea. We liked the quick walk to the beach and the wonderful pool. Air conditioners in the bedrooms were great for us as we’re used to a/c. Stela also stocked the fridge and pantry with food which was a nice surprise.
It sleeps 8 in beds, so one of our guests slept on a couch, but I suppose we could have fit ten if someone else took another couch. The hot water was spotty and worked sometimes, so large parties may have issues. The road to the property is a bit treacherous so need to be careful with large vehicles.

Thank you for your comments. The villa has a 500 liter solar hot water system which currently exceeds 85 degrees. It can cover at least 15 people per day. When you informed us we immediately activated the heating with electricity. The next day you reported the same problem and after a few minutes canceled the message saying it was a mistake and there was hot water. Then you never informed us about hot water problem. If you had informed us, we would obviously have provided an immediate solution with electricity.
Thanks
The owner
Lovely stay at the villa. There were 3 adults and 4 teens so plenty of room for us in the villa and around the pool. Stella was an excellent host, always available to assist us with queries. The odd issue was resolved immediately.
Would definately recommend a car as the villa is in a very quiet location and the cost of taxis added up over the week. The beach was nice, just a 5 minute walk and has beach bar and basic restaurant there. We got takeaway delivered from Obelix pizza which was tasty and very reasonable.
The welcome groceries were brilliant and really appreciated. Much more than a few basics. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay and the home baked apple cake from Stellas mum.

Thank you Lesley! Hope we met your expectations and see you soon!
This house was perfect for our family holiday with our 3 grown up children. Everyone had their own space yet we were able to have great meals, swims, watch films, play pool together etc. The views from the house are amazing. It helps if you have a car whilst staying here. Aswell as eating in, we also ate out alot and never had a bad meal. Most restaurants are good if you like mediterranean food. We loved going into the small village of Koutsouras which is just about an 8 minute drive from the house with a cute little beach and great Tavernas. The Big Blue Beach Bar also does great breakfasts. Thank you Anna for bringing over a lovely homebaked apple cake which was delicious. We have a swimming pool at home and my husband is very fussy about the cleanliness of it and will not let anybody go in a pool until he has tested it. This house pool was the cleanest he has known. Everything is well looked after and we would recommend.
Sehr schöne Villa im etwas ruhigeren Südosten Kretas
Die Villa ist sehr schön gelegen mit Blick aufs Meer. Sie ist sehr sauber und alles funktioniert ( Pizzaofen, Dampfbad, Poolheizug gegen Extrakosten, Billardtisch, Kraftraum etc.) Einzig die Kittfugen in einer der Duschkabinen sollten unbedingt erneuert werden. Ansonsten ist alles einwandfrei. Der schöne, kleine Sandstrand, (der nicht dem Vermieter der Villa gehört) ist nur 5 Gehminuten entfernt. Die Stadt Ierapetra ist mit dem Auto in 20 Minuten erreichbar. Dort hat es Restaurants, Einkaufszentren und andere Läden. In zehn Fahrminuten in beide Richtungen hat es weitere schöne Restaurants. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in der Villa Ariadne Achlia.
Vielen Dank an George und Stella für den gefüllten Kühlschrank bei der Ankunft. Das Haus, der Pool und die Lage waren traumhaft. Der Ausblick auf das Meer und den aufgehenden Mond waren perfekt. In nur 5 Minuten Gehweg erreichte man den kleinen Kiesstrand von Achlia mit einer guten Taverne. Für den Einkauf sind nicht weit entfernt kleine Supermärkte, z.B. in Richtung Ireapetra, der 7 km entfernter Kalimera-Market. Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub. Danke an unsere Gastgeber. 5 Sterne
Everything in the Villa lives up to the listing, especially the view. The layout is perfect for an adult family- all rooms have en suites and all extras are included. Perfect location next to beach.
Une maison conforme aux attentes de l’annonce … une vue magnifique pour une semaine très agréable. Un ménage à mi semaine très appréciable !!!!
Un lieu idéal pour couper et profiter de la beauté de la Crète ….
Fantastic villa! The views are beautiful and you can even hear the sea from the villa.
Highly recommend this villa! Spacious, very clean and equipped with everything you need. The walk to the beach is very short and easy. Our hosts were amazing, thank you very much!
Great property - good location lots of beeches near by and restaurants although a hire car would be needed if you want to explore / get to local supermarkets etc
Great stay family very much enjoyed it!
Beautiful property, great host and truly a relaxing getaway.
Do not let the travel time from airport to villa put you off booking this property, car hire was quick and easy and the roads safe and quiet and parking at the villa. Set in a beautiful location, 5 minutes walk to the beach which has a wonderful taverna and great food. A few local shops around and a supermarket just a 20 minute drive away. George was there to greet us on arrival and was very welcoming. Whilst we did not require any additional assistance during our trip, he was always just a call away. The fridge was full of food and drinks which was a great added touch after a long days travelling. There is everything you could ask for at the villa, that we rarely felt the need to venture out. There is a golden sandy beach just a 10 minute drive with cafes and sun beds and ideal for kids with shallow waters. We hope to return in the future with family! Cannot recommend highly enough!
Lovely villa in a quiet location with fantastic views.
Beautiful villa and great location. Villa had everything you need. Only Critisism is that the pool is very steep from the shallow end and difficult to stand up without slipping. It appears a theme in Greece and I don’t understand why it drops away so quickly from 0.6m to 2.0m. Minor detail and didn’t spoil out stay.
maison très confortable, propre et très bien équipée.
on peut accéder à la plage à pied.
super piscine avec douche extérieure.
très belle terrasse. Quant aux propriétaires ils sont vraiment accueillants et super généreux. il y avait à boire et à manger pour plusieurs jours, nous avons vraiment apprécier cela en arrivant.
merci pour ces vacances parfaites!!
Had a great vacation in a very nice house. Everything is as good as it looks on the pictures. Perfect service from the team, especially appreciated the very well stocked fridge, the freshly baked cake and the lunch. We can only recommend this place.
