Άνετη βίλα οικογενειακού μεγέθους με υδρομασάζ!

10/10 Excellent

"What can I say about Green Acre Villa. It's absolutely amazing! The photos don't do it justice as it's such a stunning place, inside and outside. The decor and detail of the inside is beautiful. We were 6 people staying there with lots of space. We never felt on top of each other. Outside is a dream space. Also very secure with a space to park a car on the driveway. My daughter got married while we were there and the photographer loved the outside space so much she wanted to take extra photos. Manos & Klelia were very attentative hosts. Any questions we had, Manos responded immediately. Thankyou so much for everything you did for us. I can most definitely 100% recommend the villa. We can't wait to come back again next time we're in Crete."

El Greco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is incredible. Hotel staff are super friendly. And the place is cheap as chips. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough!!!! 10/10."

Scalarea Estate Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We were here with two college aged children. We did the wine tour, which was fabulous! The breakfast is to die for! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an epic experience. Only two things to be aware of... 1. There were a number of slow moving, hard shelled small bugs. We realized it was just part of being in the middle of a vineyard and my husband and son made a game of how many they scooped up and released outside each evening. 2. One of the twin beds squeaks a lot. Thankfully my daughter was a good sport about it. And it didn't detract from the 99% of the stay that was amazing! Hope you create beautiful family memories there like we did!"
