Guest Reviews

“The house was pretty good comfortable, many rooms, many bathrooms... Eveything was in the house, so, no needs to buy anything (for the w-machine for ex.). The Cretan hospitality is a real concept! You need a car to go the house but the view is wonderfull. Un séjour vraiment génial dans une maison des plus agréables, que demander de plus? Tout était parfait! A recommander pour les familles ou les groupes d'amis!!”

“This is the first time that I have ever agreed to write a review of a holiday villa however I am very pleased to put down a few notes on Remvi Villa. The villa is lovely, it is huge and could comforatbly sleep 10 people. It is also very well looked after with the pool cleaned and maintained twice a week. The key thing was that we were cared for and made to feel so welcome. We arrived in Crete at 10 oclock at night and after picking up the car and varous diversions did not get to the villa until about 2am. The last bit of hte journey was easy because of the photos that accompanied the directions. we were meet at the villa with water and milk in the fridge, fruit on the table and sandwiches in a box. We had regular visist to make sure we were OK and left with a gift of honey and olive oil which we are all enjoying now we are back in the UK Lovely villa and one that I would highly recommend ”

“Wonderful time in this holidays home for the childrens and parents. Everything was perfect (owners welcome,swimmingpool, house, comfort, sightseeing, ...)”

“This villa has the most extraordinary views I've ever experienced. Ever, anywhere. I totally fell in love with the views and the area. It is quite high up a hill/small mountain and the location is mesmerising. The house has a room at the top which is very, very cosy, with wooden floors, a slanted wooden ceiling, a real delight! It also has 3 outside terraces, the top one allowing a 360 degree view of the surrounding area. It is also quiet and peaceful, despite there being other properties in the vecinity. All this makes up for a pretty un-cosy living area, a poorly kitted kitchen (but then we always go out for dinner when on holidays) and the staircase steps being higher than usual. Not for somebody with a disability at all! The owner's wife kindly expected us with a delicious moussaka in the fridge and some other delights which were yummie! Would I go back? Definitely!”

“The Villa was just wonderful. We stayed in October 2011 and had a week of pure relaxation in the villa's grounds, lounging around on the wonderfully padded sunbed cushions in the garden, near the orange trees. The kitchen was equipped to an extremely high standard and the welcome basket of the freshest fruit and vegetables meant we had to do very little shopping. Even things like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, wiping up cloths, kitchen towel, olive oil, seasoning etc were provided which just makes cooking whilst abroad an absolute pleasure. Everything in the villla worked perfectly, we used the washing machine a few times too and it was just delightful to be able to pick fresh oranges each morning for juice for breakfast. The nearest taverna was shut as it was out of season but there are some good restaurants just about 7 mins drive away. There's a lovely bakery in the village and a good supermarket in the nearest village (3kms away). It was so very quiet and peaceful and was great for a weeks' R&R! Thoroughly recommend it!”

“Villa Nicholas is nicely appointed – we especially enjoyed the private pool and sunbeds. You have a beautiful view of Souda Bay, it’s only minutes to Almyrida Beach, and you can walk to a number of indoor-outdoor cafes that serve incredible food at economical prices. The villa could use a bit of updating with the smaller touches such as bath mats & shower curtains – and the beds were quite a bit harder than we were used to…but all in all the furnishings, ambience, and features of the villa were very satisfactory. A rental car is a good idea as Plaka makes a good jumping off point for travelling to nearby places of interest throughout northwest Crete. It is about an hour to the west coast with the famous white & pink sands of Fallasarna Beach, 30 minutes to Chania with the sights and shops of the old harbour and about a two hour drive to the Mayan ruins of Knossos.”

“The only thing which marred our stay slightly was indifferent weather on 3 or 4 days of the fortnight. The villa was superb- spacious, comfortable and well-equipped with large grounds, a good-sized pool and stunning views. The owners were friendly and helpful and ensured that we were directed to the delightful taverna ten minutes walk away- the home made orange cake was divine and the rest wasn't bad either! I recommend this villa highly- it accommodated eight adults and four children with ease. A particular pleasure was to make an olive log fire in the evenings in the spacious outdoor eating area and when the blaze had subsided to cook over the red-hot embers whilst sampling the local wine- paradise. Plenty of good beaches, shops and other attractions within easy reach and all the locals are so friendly. The villa is equipped with wheelchair-friendly ramps and an efficient lift as well as easy access to the pool and would suit those with disabilities.”

“Villa Gianna was a superb property with excellent facilities, inside and outside. The property had a homely feel about it and the surrounding mountains and views of the bay were spectacular. The owner had an attention to detail, was exceptionally helpful and friendly. We (8 of us) had a fantastic, memorable holiday which we will never forget. We enjoyed the garden and being able to help ourselves to the produce. Just one warning, the access to the villa from the main road was a bit challenging. It was only a very short distance, but it was a steep track with several sharp bends. We would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone who wants a truly beautiful environment in which to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather.”

“We really enjoyed our stay in Nektarious villa. The villa was exactly as presented on site (even better)! The villa is just outside Maleme in a quite countryside with a very nice see view, it is well organized we arrived late in the night and we found water in the , tea, sugar and sonon for the first breakfast ... Shops are quite near but car is necessary if you book this villa. The swimming pool is always clean and lights inside water are on all the evenings. We suggest to spend the morning on the beach ( every day a different one) and around 4 pm ho back to the villa ... In the garden and swimming pool. ”

“The site of the house is great. It is half way on a hill and has a great view over the olive trees and the trees. The house is charming and has all kind of equipment you need.”

“We stayed at Hermes Villa for one week. We liked the place very much. The location was excellent: on the mountine with a magnificent view to the sea and mountines, little villages, colourful contry roads. It was fantastic to begin the day with a good hike on those lovely roads. And many of our party enjoyed riding with two horses. The swimming pool was very clean and big enough. The house itself was comfortable and clean and the cleaning service was good. We had pleasure to meat some members of the family that owned the property. They were very nice and helpful people and everything worked very well, when we had something to ask or some minor problems. It was experience to walk in the darkness to local Taverna and have a truely authentic and traditional dinner in the evening. On the hole I would say that we had a unforgettable week and recommend the place for those who appreciate authentic atmosphere and nature.”
