Amazing family villa with breathtaking views
We spent a week at Villa Ourania as a family group of 13 including children. The villa is amazing. The view from the pool area is breathtaking and we spent many evenings watching the sunset. The villa is well equipped with many different eating areas to dine. Maria the owner was extremely attentive for any queries we had. We pre booked the private chef one evening who cooked a traditional Cretan meal for us. We would thoroughly recommend this - outstanding value and delicious food. Thank you Maria for sharing your wonderful property - we would love to come back again!

Schönes Haus, perfekt für große Gruppen
Wir waren insgesamt 20 und haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen. Das Haus ist perfekt um die Seele baumeln zu lassen, Party zu machen oder Tagesausflüge zu unternehmen.
Die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet, für 20 Leute könnte es allerdings etwas mehr Geschirr geben.
Ansonsten war alles wunderbar. Gerne wieder :))
