“As the smaller part of a doublehouse Villa Resi is a really great location. The other house wasnt rented at our stay - so no problems like noise or privacy. Villa Resi is well equipped, has all amenities you need, very new and best condition. Best aircondition I ever saw - you cant hear anything from it!! The road to Villa Resi is a little tricky - because its a very steep road - also with our E-bikes it was a hard way up. The owners are really nice and courteous - we got olive oil and apple pie for free and also some vegetables fresh from the garden. We hope to come again!! ”

“Euphoria Villa is well named! It truly is wonderful and we enjoyed every minute.<br><br> We were greeted by owner Manolis who made us feel so welcome whilst showing us around his beautiful villa and grounds which are all lovingly maintained to a high standard by his family . During our stay he was always friendly, helpful and generous, providing some provisions on arrival as well as thoughtful Cretan gifts. <br><br> The villa is nice and comfortable, clean and very well equipped, making it more like a home from home. With plenty of space throughout, the two double bedrooms and shower rooms were ideal for us as two couples. The third bedroom is also a decent size. One safe is included for valuables.<br><br> The setting is magnificent with amazing views out across Souda Bay, and the villa and gardens cleverly designed to enjoy these from all areas. The tempting pool is a generous size and depth with lovely tiled surround making it a perfect place to swim and laze in the sun or shade. The adjacent BBQ area had everything provided with the comfortable canopied seating area right beside it. On the first floor of the villa is another sun terrace which was our favourite place for a cool evening beer whilst watching the spectacular sunsets. Perfect!<br><br> Euphoria is set in a peaceful location on the edge of Plaka, just a ten minute stroll to a selection of very hospitable tavernas and a couple of local supermarkets selling lovely fresh produce. Almyrida is only a 20 minute downhill walk away, with Taxis back being easy and good value. Worth doing on an evening for the wider selection of places to eat and drink right beside the beach. Like Almyrida, nearby Kalyves also has a great small beach, safe bathing, and choice of places to eat. <br><br> The booking of the villa and car hire with Chania Rentals was a breeze, and Vlahakis was great to deal with every step of the way. Very professional, prompt and reliable.<br> The car pick up/drop off at the airport went smoothly and enabled us to explore more of this gem of an island from Spinalonga to Elafonisi! Fabulous! <br><br> We are so glad we chose to stay in this villa, and highly recommend it in every way.”

“There's nothing to figure out, it was just all perfect. This one week in the villa was just fun, holiday pure.”

“Das waren wunderbare 2 Wochen zwischen den Olivenbäumen. Das Haus ist sehr schön, die Aussicht ein Traum, der Pool ist super. Mit Grill, den wir auch oft benutzt haben. Der nächste Strand liegt aber ca. 1.5km zu Fuß entfernt und hat grobe Kiesel. Man benötigt also unbedingt ein Mietwagen um an Sandstrände zu gelangen. Wir haben den Vormittag immer am Pool verbracht und sind mittags ans Meer (Balos 1h Fahrt, Elafonisi 1.5h Fahrt, Ravdoucha....) oder ins Inland (Tageswanderung Samariaschlucht, Wasserfälle,...) In der Nähe gibt es den Deutschen Soldatenfriedhof. Eine Fahrt nach Chania dauert 20 Minuten und haben wir zum Essen öfter gemacht. Knossos, Heraklion, Psychro dauerte und die einfache Fahrt über 2,5h zu lange und haben wir nicht gemacht. Alles in Allem: zu empfehlen!”

“Location parfaite .Très propre ,au calme et propriétaires très sympathiques.”

“Fantastic Villa . Fantastic location ...everything close to the Villa ”

“Really nice, new Villa just a few minutes away from Maleme Center where you can find really good Restaurants. Beach is ok in Maleme - you better hire a car and go around the western part of the Island. There are so many nice beaches! The Hosts were very friendly and helpful in every way - they were cleaning the house twice during our stay which we didn't expect...Thanks a lot for your hospitality & we'll Keep in touch!”

“We have just returned from a lovely 3 week stay at Villa Victoria.<br> Everything was wonderful especially Gianni and his generous hospitality and thoughtful gifts.<br> The views are magnificent and the house and the pool and the peaceful location provide a truly luxurious experience.<br> The wildlife around the villa is remarkable. We enjoyed watching the hawks and the variety of lovely birds. Very convenient for great tavernas, especially Athitis in Kavalos just a kilometre down the hill,. The amazing beach and many quality restaurants at Georgioupolis are a short ten minute drive away. Aposperida in the village, Blue Boat Beach Bar and Poseidon Beach Taverna are well worth a visit. The nearby Grillo stables provided truly memorable horseriding along the long sandy beach at Georgioupolis.<br> This is an enchanting place which caters for a very relaxing holiday.”

“The villa is beautifully located and is really wonderful.There are only two things i found fault with. <br><br>We were there 3 persons;that was ok.But the villa is meant maximum for 6 persons.But there was only one shower-I think that would not be enough .<br><br> There were two rooms with double beds .these beds were for me to small (1,4 m ) i think .You must know my size is 1,95 m and my weight is 110 kg.So when I went to bed on this very soft mattresses my wife-who has less than half the weight of me would roll towards me .That could have been nice,if we had been just married ,but we were married about 38 years .So I took the first double bed and she the second;no problem.<br><br> So these are the only two points I had to mention .<br><br> To summerize i can say,we had beautiful holidays<br><br> Petra and Rainer Widlitzek”

“A big thank you to Vasilis and his family for their welcome and the villa. Everything is thought for a relaxing holiday. The garden is appreciable in the afternoon with the shade and freshness it provides. The view from all sides of the villa is splendid: the mountains, the olive trees, the sea, the sunset. The villa is in the middle of olive trees in peace without opposite. The bedding is quality.<br><br> Un grand merci à Vasilis et à sa famille pour leur accueil et leur villa. Tout est pensé pour des vacances reposantes. Le jardin est appréciable dans l'après-midi avec l'ombre et la fraîcheur qu'il procure. La vue de tous les côtés de la villa est splendide: les montagnes, les oliviers, la mer, le coucher de soleil. La villa est au milieu des oliviers au calme sans vis à vis. La literie est de qualité. ”

“We loved this villa and everything that came with it!!!<br> It wasn't just the owner who was very warm-hearted, helpful and kind - the villa itself has been outstanding, too! It has a lot of space, four bedrooms (each with clima and fan) and is furnished very nice and modern. The villa was very tidy. We were welcomed with a bucket full of essentials plus fresh fruits and even a bottle of wine.<br><br> When you sit on the terrace or on one of the balconies you can enjoy a brathtaking view on the mountains and the sea. You will never forget it!<br><br> If you want to eat a real cretan meal you just have to walk approx. 10 minutes by feet and you will find a little tavern , called "Eleonora's". This tavern offers tasty, homemade food which is cooked with love and is still affordable. We loved it!<br><br> All in all we really enjoyed our time at villa aquila and can recommend it to everyone who is looking for a special place to stay! Thank you very much! ”
