“when we arrived at the villa we were instantly extremely pleased with our choice of villa. the villa was larger than we thought from the photos on the website and was just perfect in every way.it was also very clean. we were met by penelope who was extremely helpful in giving us all the information we required for the type of holiday we wanted. the location is perfect away from it all, but near enough to local shops tavernas and chania etc we would certainly recomend this villa and will definately return. ”

“Villa Iris is a lovely villa set on a mountain side with views over the hills and sea - viewed through walls of glass. It is very open and large so perfect for children as space for them to run around without any danger of breaking anything! The bedrooms are large and all have en suite facilities. The garden and swimming pool were lovely and the owners very kind. It is up a mountain so you will need a car but again is close to big towns, the main road and Chania”

“We arrived on Crete and began driving to the villa. The directions were clear and the roads easily found. We traveled up the hillside, the road narrowing and eventually becoming a dirt track. We wondered what lay in store for us. Then the olive trees parted to reveal the io villa. It was wonderful. Thick stone walls, beautiful windows, and wonderfully crafted furnishings. Each morning when I opened the shutters on the day I half expected Romeo to be waiting below the balcony to greet me. Every detail of the house is well done. A house truly worthy of the Montagues and the Capulets. The view must be touched upon as well. The villa is surrounded by soft silvery olive trees but situated with the height to see over them all the way to the sea. It is deliciously quiet and peaceful. Manos, the owner is helpful and polite, speaks impeccable English and exudes the generosity and charm we found all over Crete. I will live my life wanting to go back.”

“We had a wonderful week on Crete in Villa Danae! It has anything you want to - and more! The kitchen is better equipped then our own one and the rest of the villa is also good equipped. The view is fantastic and the pool is big enough to swim and get refreshed! The surrounding was very quiet and recreational. And last but not least is Kyriakos a very nice and obliging owner! Thank you!”

“The house is really wonderful, very clean and comfortable and the owner lady very very nice. Thank you for the cold drinks in the fridge and the cake. We really enjoyed also the swimmingpool. Everything was good organized and we can really recommend the house. The only thing which was disturbing were the neighbours dog which was barking the whole night. But the house and environment is really beautiful! Thank you again.”

“My wife and I had a wonderfull time at the Markos Villa. Unlike other villa's we have rented in the past it was a pleasant surprise to find simple things like coffee/sugar etc already at the villa and really appreciated the home cooked moussaka/cheese and spinach parcels!! We would certainly recommend staying at the villa to anyone as it is in a lovely out of the way place with great views, but not too far away from places such as Kalives or Georgioupolis.”

“good location, exellent to reach the differet western parts of Creta. the house is well equipped with a lot of space inside and outside the building. We were four people but also for six it is a good solution. Iappreciate the change of towels and bed sheets at the midweek. ”

“We know Crete well but were surprised to find just how beautiful this part of Western Crete is and how peaceful the village of Neriana. The villa has wonderful vistas in all directions with distant views of olive groves on hill-sides. Set next to an orange orchard, the villa is soundly constructed and high quality. It is quite compact but was fine for three of us (adults) although access to the main bedroom was essentially through the second bedroom (more than adequate for two children or one adult). The villa is well appointed with pretty much everything except a dish-washer (but then that's what husbands are for). The pool was very child friendly. The garden was quite wonderful for sitting in and reading under the shade of the many trees, listening to the bleating of the local nanny-goat (milk available on request!), and watching the swallows. There is a new, rustic and excellent taverna 600 metres up the road towards the useful little town of Voukolies (pharmacy, bakery, mini-market). A short drive towards the coast provides acceptable tavernas at Maleme and excellent fish tavernas at Kolymvari as well as two comprehensive Super-Markets, and a very long beach. Stratos, who owns the villa was extremely helpful and generous with both time, and local produce. We highly recommend this excellent spot for a quiet summer break.”

“We spent really excellent vacations in Villa Eleni (6 people with teenagers). The landscape is wonderful with 180d view on the sea, in calm surroundings of olive trees plantation. The house by itself is beautiful with excellent finition and tasteful decoration and offers full amenities and is large enough for 6 with 3 rooms. The garden is large, with a lot of flowers and using the swimming pool in such beautiful surroundings was a pleasure by itself. Being next to the sea, there was always a cool, gentle air and it was never too hot. The owner takes very good care of the gardens, of the house and of its hosts. Staying at home is definitively an option but the location of the villa is also perfect, outside a small village with full commodities and with easy access to all very interesting and beautiful sites Creete offers in its western part (easy access to Hania, Rethymnon, Elafonissi, Kissamos, FrangoCastelli,...). We warmly recommend chosing this villa for vacations and will certainly rent it again.”

“We had the most fantastic two weeks. The villa was superb, apart from having only one key to share - a problem when we locked ourselves out! Kostas and his family were the perfect hosts bringing fresh fruit & veg from the garden, Dad's homemade wine, Mum's chocolate cake & cheese pies from his Grandmother. Thankyou to them all, we were made to feel very welcome. The baby pool came in very useful with our three year old.The warm breeze kept us cool in the heat of the August sunshine and the villa was very central for touring the island. Thankyou again ”

“villa très agréable, bien équipée, très propre . Le jardin est fleuri et ombragé, la vue sur la mer est superbe. Les propriétaires ont été d'une grande gentillesse et nous ont offert de nombreux cadeaux ! Le village ,le plus proche est animé et offre de nombreux commerces et tavernes. Dommage que la piscine soit beaucoup plus petite qu'elle ne paraît sur la photo ! Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour.”
