Absolutely perfect! The location is lovely and you have a beautiful view every morning from all the balconies (and the rest of the day as well). The house has everything you need and more. The kids were in the pool for hours. We really enjoyed the outside and BBQ area. Kostas and his family were the perfect hosts, so friendly and helpful and all the extras were amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! (We enjoyed the lovely cats as well)

Everything was phenomenal. No complaints. Would recommend or stay again in a heartbeat. Every detail was perfect. We have stayed a lot of places and this has been the most well rounded.
Not about the property. Just be aware using GPS. A few times our Waze app thought some sketchy paths were actually roads.

A great place to relax! Helpful hosts and really quiet space. There is entertainment for both children and parents. The wines offered by the house are tasty and you can spend quiet evenings on the beautiful terrace.

This villa is really exceptional. It is beautifully located with views to the sea and the mountains across the vineyards. Everything has a feeling of quality about it, no effort has been spared in creating a really lovely living space. There are so many different areas inside and out to sit and relax and enjoy different views. And we had loads of fun playing games of pool and table tennis and splashing about in the pool.
It is so well equipped with everything you could need and has a very central location on the island, making it easy to go sightseeing. We drove as far as Chania in one direction and Agios Nikolaos in the other. It's an easy drive up to the Lesithi Plateau and the villa is close to the road that takes you South, making Festos and Gortys within easy reach. We headed south again to Matala where we had a great time snorkelling. Rethymno was also just over an hour away. You do need a hire car to make the most of all there is to see on the island.
But what makes this villa really special is the welcome that Kostas and his family gave to us; they could not have been more kind or hospitable. We were driving from Chania airport and arriving late so we suggested Kostas leave a key for us. But he wouldn't hear of it, he wanted to be there to greet us and show us around and really that set the tone for the whole holiday. On our arrival we found the fridge was filled with local products, eggs, olive oil, Raki, cheese, wine, nuts and fruit.
His mother Amalia had baked us a lovely home-made cake and when we finished it and said how much we'd enjoyed it she made us another one! She also cooked us a delicious meal one evening. Kostas would message us regularly just to check everything was fine. He and his parents were attentive without ever being intrusive and all of us would like to thank them for being such exceptional hosts. It goes without saying that when we come back to Crete we will stay here again.

The Villa was well equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Kostas and his parents took every effort to make sure all our needs were met, stocking the house with milk, water, juice, their own wine, olive oil and raki, fruit and a home baked cake! They were contactable and responded quickly to any problems we had. Would definitely recommend!
Nothing - except our stay was too short!

This was an exceptional experience for us.The villa is gorgeous and has absolutely everything you could possibly need.
We stayed here with our adult children for a post Covid reunion.It was so spacious and we made good use of the swimming pool,table tennis and pool table.
The gym ,predictably for us remained untouched…lol.
We used the barbecue a lot.It was a great little spot to gather for a pre dinner drink .
The 3 bedrooms upstairs had lovely views of the sea and or the mountains and the 2 downstairs bedrooms had access to a terrace with table and chairs overlooking the vines.
The villa was spotless with beautiful bed linen and comfy beds.
What really makes this place was Kostas and his parents.
Amalia and Yiannis live in a house on the vineyard so were on hand if we needed anything.Their house was some distance away so the villa is completely private.
We are well travelled and have stayed in many lovely places but the hospitality we received here is second to none.
Amalia made us the most amazing Cretan meal and we had endless supplies of fresh eggs,and fruit from their trees.
We were even treated to some of their wine , Raki and olive oil.
Yiannis showed us around the gardens pointing out the different fruit trees and we got to meet the chickens.
There is a small supermarket in the village within walking distance which had good quality meat for the barbie.
Otherwise the main town is about 5 to 10 minute by car and Heraklion is about a 20 minutes drive.
Kostas has the name of a good local taxi driver ( more than one taxi if you need it ) who we used a few times before we picked up our hire car .He also arranged a last minute pick up from the airport for us.
I would recommend car hire to get the most out of a holiday on the beautiful island of Crete though.
Thank you ,Kostas,Amalia and Yiannis for the most amazing stay.
We know everyone says this but we really do hope to return.

The villa is the BEST property we have ever visited. The real ambience of the villa and surrounded vineyard is much more better as the photos can tell you. The owners family was so friendly and give as really "at home" feeling. Everything was so perfect as it can be. The villa is also very good situated inside. There are two seperated apartments so very good for two families like we have been. The complete rating from us is much more that 10.

Loved everything about the property, the own was truly lovely and the house was beautiful, clean and had everything you would need and then some. Loved the fact that the own - Kostas offered to pick us up from the airport because we were arriving at night and wanted to make sure we didn’t have any issues at the airport. He also bought lots of breakfast items for us because the shop were closed when we arrived and would not be open before we leave in the morning for the activities we planned. His mum also made us a beautiful dinner the following night. There is so many little things that Kostas and his family done to make our stay comfortable and amazing.
