Immaculate welcoming property, spacious, all facilities for a relaxing time, very effective air conditioning throughout the property, cleaning and change of bed linen / towels offered every 2-3 days which in my experience is rare practice for self catering properties. The photos do not do justice to this perfect oasis for relaxation and sun bathing so I did not add any! Did not have to go anywhere to swim as the terrace was our beach. Terrace is wide enough to even do whatever sort of exercise - ocean yoga at its best, also you can move the sun loungers in the sun or shadow as you prefer all day long.
The village is peaceful but quite alive with at least 5-6 tavernas within half a mile, supermarket, little shops. Heraklion easily reached 20 min by bus (modern with AC) if you don't have a car.
Last but not least - Dimitris is indeed the most gracious host , he waited for us at the property. He recommended the best places to eat locally and in Heraklion and we are so happy we took his advice. He also introduced us to the best local wines and ice creams! Dimitris was regularly checking we had everything we needed as a discreet presence , always available and around if needed, but never intrusive - rare combination of skills in a host.
We really could not find a fault ! Only hesitation when writing this review - if we tell everyone how good this place is, it might not remain available when we go back.

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung direkt am Meer, näher geht es kaum, nur ein Fussweg trennt das Haus vom Meer. Zwei Schlafzimmer, eine (kleine) Küche, ein (kleines) Bad, ein grosses Wohnzimmer, zwei Balkone, alles geschmackvoll eingerichtet und alles da, was es braucht. Direkter Meerblick, Wellenrauschen pur. Sehr netter Gastgeber, sehr hilfsbereit, gute Anreiseinstruktionen, hilfreiche und gute Tipps für Restaurants. Zur Ankunft stand ein Früchtekorb und eine Flasche Wein und Olivenöl bereit. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Der einzige Nachteil ist die Lage in der Einflugschneise des Flughafens Heraklion, sodass man Flugzeuge von unten bewundern kann, mit der entsprechenden Akustik. Aber das gilt für alle Unterkünfte in dieser Gegend. Und es waren schlussendlich nicht so viele Flugzeuge, dass es wirklich störend gewesen wäre.

Dimitris is an exceptional host who welcomed us and made us feel at home from the moment we landed at Heraklion International Airport. He runs his business with the utmost professionalism. Every detail in the house is thoughtfully arranged. He understands the needs of his guests and does everything possible to make your stay unforgettable. The accommodation is spotless, with a regular cleaning service provided during your stay. Bedsheets, towels, and all consumables are routinely changed and restocked. The view from the terrace reveals the aquamarine Sea of Crete. Just a few steps away, you can immerse yourself in its warm embrace. There's nothing better than waking up and heading straight from your bed for a morning swim in the sea, invigorating you for the day ahead. All the amenities and shops you might need are within walking distance, whether it's the optician, groceries, car rental, or local restaurants. The junction to access the 90 motorway is only a minute's drive away, but you can't hear the traffic from your suite. There's also the nearby archaeological site of Nirou. We truly hope to visit again, as it felt like traveling from one home to another. We cannot thank Dimitris enough for our fantastic holiday.
There is nothing that you can dislike about this place.

Dimitris was an amazing host. He greeted us and showed us around and made sure we were very comfortable. He went over and above even carrying our luggage for us and making sure we got to our next destination safely. The place was super clean and very comfortable with beautiful views right on the water and gorgeous sunset! Great air conditioning and water pressure and comfortable beds. Perfect stay we had the best time and highly recommend this property! Thank you so very much Dimitris!
Everything was perfect about our stay

Location was just perfect, right on the beach and within walking distance to a number of great restaurants and a super market. Just 15 mins car drive from Heraklion airport. The host was wonderful and made sure our stay was great: everything from greeting to send off was superb - the recommendation of places to go was spot on too! The fruit basket, wine and ice cream gifts were such a nice gesture and really delicious.
There was really nothing that we didn’t like. Our stay was wonderful.

Sea view was great, the place was very clean and pleasant. Works for a family with 2-3 children, Good location, a lot of tavernas around.

Maybe a bigger kitchen would have been good.

The location was great. We especially enjoyed the fantastic view, and just how short the distance was from the Villa to the beach. Quality views of both sunset and sunrise. Great accommodation by our host, who also provided great recommendations and knowledge about the area if needed.
We don’t have anything bad to say about this place.

The bathroom was a great size with walk in shower.

Everything was perfect for us (two adults, two teenagers): the villa, direct access to the beach from the terrace, outside shower, lovely interior. The owner Dimitris provides everything to make your stay a most enjoyable and relaxing time - he's the kindest and most helpful person. Thank you, Dimitris, for your kind hospitality - we will never forget these two weeks.
Nothing at all comes to mind.

It was an incredibly great stay that exceeded our expectations. The villa is just perfectly located, directly on the seafront. To get on the beach you need to walk just a few meters from your bed! And the view is just breathtaking, you can adore the sea all the time. The place is nicely decorated and very well equipped, you have everything you need. Absolutely awesome host, Dimitris is just the best. He welcomed us was very warmly, gave lots of tips for sightseeing and restaurants and was attentive and caring. We hope to return and highly recommend this place!

We really enjoyed staying at Dimitri villa, who was exactly that kind of host who cares and goes an extra mile if needed something.
We stayed as a family of four, with two small kids and the villa with its great terrace with its upper part shaded for the majority of a day and a sea view matched our expectations. Beach and many great sorrounding taverns were basically a stone's throw away, yet the villa was in a very peaceful place.
The villa itself is very nicely decored and in a great shape with all the ammenities needed.
We would definitely recommend to others, couples or families to stay at this very nice place.
It is close to Heraklion and its airport, which is both an advantange as an disadvantage, as somethimes the air traffic can be noisy. On the other side spotting the planes from almost a private beach in front of a villa is a nice experience.
5.0
The villa is perfectly located, about 10 km from Heraklion airport and town, and minutes to tavernas, supermarket, pharmacies and shopping. The view is fantastic, just on the verge of the sea, with a huge terrace for eating and sunbathing. There are some stairs leading directly into the sea, and there are a few sandy beaches minutes away. Villa is super clean and tastefully decorated and the kitchen has everything needed. Dimitris is a perfect host and he would go above and beyond to make sure his guests have the best possible experience.
The second bedroom has no windows/natural light.
