Chris was an excellent host. He replied to all messages immediately and was very friendly. We arrived at the house late, so he had filled the fridge with more than we needed. The house was very clean and still the cleaning lady came every other day! We got a tablet with net connection to us for the whole stay. Chris had useful tips saved to the tablet and we used it for navigation. This was very useful in the traffic. We felt safe in the house and can definitely recommend it to others as well!

We stayed here as a group of 10 in early August for 10 nights. This villa is absolutely stunning and has spotlessly clean grounds. We were greeted by the owner early hours of the morning the day we landed and he couldn’t have been more welcoming. They had pre filled the fridge with food and drink which meant we didn’t need to panic and get to the shops until we had settled and rested.The pool was a generous size and even when we were all in there it felt non crowded. Sun bathing and seating areas were spacious and well equipped. The owner was only a text or call away if we needed information and we could access a cleaner as often as we wanted her to come in. They also gave us gifts of food throughout our stay which was such a lovely touch.There is a bus stop just outside the villa which we used to get into Heraklion town in the evening for restaurants and bars then used an Uber type app to cab home easily at the end. There is a lovely beach 10 mins walk from the villa with bars and coffee shops. You can also get a bus from outside to Lidl for a big shop.Would highly recommend this villa we had an amazing stay thank you so much!

5 friends had a wonderful stay. House was immaculate. Beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. Pool was lovely. Didn’t expect the house keeper to pop in twice during the week so that was a lovely perk. Buses 50 yards up the road. Into town and other sights. Very responsible. Beach across the road, short walk. Very Greek neighborhood, little tourists. Felt lovely!

Brilliant! The villa was pristine and had everything we needed in it, even down to washing tablets, delicious oil from their own olive trees and coffee capsules! Chris was even more amazing- available for anything we needed and he went over and above for us. Would 100% stay again.
