Amazing Views
Just returned from a week at this lovely villa which coped well with the 42° heat that we had. The villa has amazing views a great pool and is a ten minute walk from the beach front of Almyrida with a variety of restaurants and a glorious beach. In the opposite direction a ten minute walk takes you into the village of Plaka and its lovely tavernas and a couple of supermarkets. I would recommend Elpis in Plaka for great food and warm welcome. We took the snorkelling boat trip with Dream boat trips and all six of us had a great time. The villa is 45 minutes from Chania and a taxi bus for 6 adults and all their luggage was £60 each way. The villa itself has everything that you need for a great stay and both the host and the local manager were very helpful. The villa is on a hill and the walk is steep but very doable and a taxi into Almyrida is only £5 if you can’t face the walk, There is also dedicated parking outside.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful home!
We could not have asked for a more beautiful view to wake up to and to watch sunsets every night. Everything was as advertised, except the VRBO site lists a hot tub, however the villa website does not. The ping pong table was broken. The pool was fabulous, the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the owner stocked it with lots of goodies. The staff cleaned during our stay, and the if we had any issues, they took care of them immediately! Our coffee it was broken and they bought a replacement very fast. A wonderful time. 5 stars!!!! Thank you so much!

Perfect Plaka
Villa was amazing with incredible views and a great pool. The village tavernas were really friendly and welcoming with lovely food and great atmosphere in the square. The beach and restaurants in Almyrida were fabulous. We had a great week and did not want to leave John

Beautiful villa with amazing views
I was looking for a villa with great location, able to walk to tavernas, shops and beach , sea view and pool and this ticked all the boxes. It is a short walk to the beach where you can find tavernas, bakery and a lovely beach, you can also walk 5 mins up the hill to Plaka where there are a couple of small supermarkets and restaurants( - Elpis restaurant had a lovely friendly atmosphere in the evening) . Almyrida was small but friendly and had a small selection of shops and tavernas but wasn’t lively if that’s what you are looking for. - would definitely recommend going to Chania one day for a look around the old town. The villa was lovely and could have just sat on the balcony all day as the view was so good. The layout was perfect giving everyone privacy with a good communal area for eating and having sundowners as the sunset every evening was amazing. Had good communication with Alexis who answered queries before we came and recommended Almyrida taxis to meet us at the airport. We arrived late and there was a good selection of essential food waiting for us including fruit, milk, bread and wine which was well received. It was very clean and had everything you need. Will definitely return.

As good (or better) as advertised
We were completely satisfied with the apartment (there are two flats in one building). Four bedrooms (3 baths) built around a nice sized room containing the entrance, small kitchen and a living room area. Off of each room is a balcony, with a large very comfortable one with a L shaped couch and dining table off of the living room. The balcony (facing west) over looks over both the bay/sea and the mountains, and makes for a great place to relax and to see the sunset each night. The apartment was in immaculate condition, and Kinga (the house manager/cleaner) was very helpful. I note that the water in the house is heated by solar panels, so occasionally we did not have hot water first thing in the morning. The beach is easily accessible by foot or car as are a couple of okay (nothing special) restaurants and food stores. The house is located well to explore the western end of Crete. On the whole we were very happy with the place, and would recommend it without reservation.

Stunning villa, stunning views - absolutely fabulous
We loved every minute in this beautiful villa and surrounding area. We opened those wooden doors when we arrived to the smell of the flowers and inside the villa the panoramic views were breathtaking. The villa is spotless and has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped. We arrived 9pm and there was a welcome pack with fruit, bread, butter, water, jam and some veg. The pool is fantastic had a couple of lilos which were much appreciated as it was just perfect lying on one in the pool looking down to the sea, stunning. There is a little square with a couple restaurants 5 mins up the hill which has a great atmoshphere and 10 mins down the hill to Almyrida a beautiful village with restaurants along the seafront. Food excellent and fantastic value we ate out most nights. A car is only needed if you want to explore further. We were 2 couples staying and loads of space for us all, the lounge/kitchen area is large and leads onto the balcony with table and another seating area with those views. The sunset from here is beautiful. We had the ensuite bedroom and I never closed the curtains as waking up to see those views out the patio doors was unreal. The villa is very private which is brilliant, the gardens are beautiful and the table tennis was good fun. We had a brilliant week the host was easily contacted and replied very quick. On our journey to manchester airport on way there Crete was put on red list, we wondered should we cancel, but decided to go and so glad we did, a perfect week, we all felt very safe both in the villa and the villages. It was well worth going even with having to isolate on our return. Would definitely book again. Thank you Alexis.
