"The room was very clean and had a good supply of sheets and bedding. There were sufficient pots, pans, dishes, etc. The highlight and what stood out the most to us was Maria and her family. They were so accommodating, helpful, friendly and welcoming. They made our stay so great! From fresh oranges, to daily chats, to a willingness to make sure we were happy with anything, If we needed anything, all we had to do was ask. The building is close to a supermarket, produce market, bakery and butcher - all within walking distance. Same with bus stops to get to Heraklion downtown. Loved it there and loved Maria and her family!"

"The grounds of the hotel were beautiful and breakfast was very thorough as well. The gentlemen at the front desk was very accommodating and polite. My swim out suite was beautiful but little touches like having true smart TV’s or capability to mirror phone to TV would make it a true 5 star. Would still recommend to others. "

"Great resort, staff were super helpful especially those at the restaurant. The Spa was amazing and the staff took time to speak with us before recommending treatment to book. Location right on the beach made it a fantastic place to stay. "

"Amazing stay at a wonderful Villa set in the family vineyards that produce their own wine , olive oil , walnuts , pecans, raisins citrus orchard all of which you are lucky enough to share The owners helped us cook the lamb in the wood/pizza oven and learn how to build a charcoal fire for the grill and cooked a lovely meal for us another night. This is the quintessential Cretan immersion experience. Highly recommend for a wonderful experience and all made possible by the amazing hospitality of this lovely family "

"The owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and spacious. The balcony came in very handy with wet towels and bathing suits. There is a lift in the property! Parking in the area was not a problem. we used public transport to get to Heraklion as it is difficult to park in town. Bus stop was only a few minutes away from the accomodation. "

"The staff are what made this a very special holiday. Excellent service and nothing too much trouble. Exceeded our expectations. "

"A truly fabulous villa, with an amazing hosting family. Kostas is super helpful and prompt with all the logistics and arrangements, then at the property his sister Maria is so very friendly, welcoming and generous. The family cooked us dinner one evening, which was delicious! The setting of the villa is amazing, in the heart of a vineyard with stunning views in all directions. The villa itself is high quality, spacious and very well presented.There is a nearby village, only 800 metres away, to provide all the basics (groceries, bakery, bar), or it is an easy taxi to any location on Crete. Thank you Kostas, Maria and Family, we can't wait to come back. "

"We are 2 families plus grandparents (9 people in total) staying at the villa for a week in August.Pro's:* Very spacious and clean* Teenage kids liked the pool table* 3 functional bathrooms - one of which has a his & hers sink* The owner is very friendly and helpful. I arrived on Sunday afternoon and needed to do a quick shop of food. He drove me to the supermarket and took me back to the villa.* Best facilities in a villa compared to other villas that I stayed, including all the small things - tea bags, coffee pods for coffee machine, condiments, cooking oil and all utensils, bath and pool towels etc.* The owner let us stay after check-out time as our flight was late in the evening. * Cleaning team was superb and friendly, they did a very thorough jobCons:* The pool and jacuzzi are located in the lower ground floor with glass doors opening out to the ground, but they are not outdoors. I personally didn't mind but some preferred it to be outdoor.* Some facilities are a bit dated, all the pool lights came off. * WiFi is slow and weak, and not accessible from all the lower ground floor bedrooms.* Location is a bit far out, definitely need a car. Taxi in Crete is not cheap, each journey is a minimum of 20Euros, even if it's a 10 mins drive. * Villa is not well sign-posted, some taxi drivers got lost. The driver from airport transfer took an hour to get there although the journey should not be more than 15-20 mins. He missed the entrance several times."
