Enid Villa is one of Fisaeri Villas, a complex of 2 attached but independent villas. The villas are located in a peaceful area close to Vamos Village. They offer an amazing view over the sea and Almirida village. The beach of Almirida is organized and shallow, ideal for families and watersports lovers. Vamos and Gavalochori villages are samples of Cretan architecture, as the old houses have been renovated with respect to the tradition. Douliana is a peaceful, picturesque, tiny village located 1.3km away from the villa; you will find there a traditional coffee shop (kafenion) and two taverns.
The two villas are built in a 4.500 sq.m. fenced property. Although the villas are attached, great care has been given in the privacy of the tenants; high trees and fences protect the outdoor areas from prying eyes.
Enid Villa has a big outdoor area; in front of the villa there is the big infinity pool and sun loungers where you can relax enjoying the view. There is also a lounge area under a pergola next to the pool, while one more pergola offers its shade at the bbq and the outdoor dining set.
The villa has 2 floors and consists of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The living area, the kitchen, one double bedroom and a bathroom are found on the ground floor. There are many exits to the garden. The other two bedrooms – one double and one twin – are found on the first floor. Both bedrooms are ensuite. The twin bedroom has a small private balcony, while the master bedroom has a big veranda with great sea view.

Reviews
A very good time at Villa Enid - we will come back!
Five of us stayed at Villa Enid at the end of October 2024. A fantastic and very enjoyable experience. The owner, Antonis, made us feel very welcome and we were always well and quickly looked after. The house and grounds are in very good condition. The pictures give a good idea of what the house and grounds look like. We felt very comfortable from the first moment we arrived. The location is very beautiful, with views of Souda Bay every day.
The surrounding villages are well worth a visit, as is the beautiful beach at Almirida. A rental car is of course necessary.
We booked the house and the car through Chania Rentals. Again, everything was perfect.
We will definitely be back and can recommend the house without reservation.
5 out of 5, for sure!
Generally Fine - lacking in areas
3/5 may be slightly harsh - more like 3.5.
Overview: Well sized villa with nice rooms. Only 2 of us staying in 3 bed (sleeps 6) villa
Good: Nice sea view - generally clean inside - private from villa resi - showers were good. Beds very firm but comfortable. Outside lounge area very nice.
Why not 5/5?:
1) No toilet roll on arrival - had to instantly go shopping to get some - did get 3 rolls after complaining - but i had already purchased
2) no basic amenities - salt, pepper - no toaster(only sandwich toaster). only given 3 dishwasher tablets (bear in mind a 6 person villa for 7 days) with slimline dishwasher. 2 tiny bottles of shower gel. Only given 2 very small bin bags.
3) Cleaning offered on Wednesday - I said "yes we are going out in 10 mins - please come in and clean then" - I received no cleaning or change of linens. (I did get clean towels after asking)
4) Pool very dirty at waterline - needs professional clean
5) Experienced 7 hour power cut (8am-3pm) - with no apology or greeting from owners checking if we were ok.
6) Card machine 'broken' - owner asked us to get cash as soon on arrival - I'm not spending my holiday going to banks to get a good amount a cash out - ended up paying bank transfer. I'm cynical whether the machine was really broken.
7) Brand new huge ultra modern villa built right in front of Enid and Resi - not in photos here. Doesn't ruin the entire view - but its very different to the photos on here.
8) Villa private to villa Resi guests - but owners villa look RIGHT over into the pool area - which is far from private - and new villa (point 7) also overlooks pool.
9) Tired plumbing - 2 of taps very wobbly & master wall hung toilet wobbles too.
10) Hotel like card key electricity token. Passive aggressive signs accompany this saying not to leave electric on when out (i can understand AC) - but leave the dishwasher,oven wifi and sockets on. Guests have paid to be there - let them use electricity when out!
I can't upload photos here - but Chania rentals will receive an email with photographs to back up my points here.
Conclusion - 5th time to Crete - 4th time to Chania region - 1st time with Chania Rentals. Worst experience with owner so far. They didn't seem interested in providing usual cretan hospitality - only concerned about getting paid.
This could easily be 5/5 villa - the owners really let it down with lack of care and attention to guests. Advert photos need to be updated due to point 7 - as view is somewhat spoiled.
Would i book with Chania rentals again? Yes
Would I return to Enid or Resi? No
