When planning our trip we decided to end our visit in Crete and had a tough time deciding which side of the island and where to go while visiting. Ultimately we made the decision to go to Heraklion, which led us to find this property. We are happy we did and we wished we could have stayed longer. Firstly, Stefani was wonderful to work with. Very communicative and accommodated our arrival, which was around 20:00. The home is lovely and located on a very quiet street at the top of the village. The house we stayed in was one of two sister homes, that you can see in the photo, and although someone was staying in the home next door, it was very quiet. The exterior of the home was one of the reasons we wished we would have been there longer. Great pool with a huge deck area to lounge. The grounds are spectacular with a wonderful garden. There is an outdoor BBQ and dining area as well. The first floor of the home was very comfortable and well appointed. It had everything we needed for our short two day stay. The bedrooms are all on the second floor and the all have balconies with nice views down over the village and the sea. None of the rooms are huge, but all very comfortable. We were very, very pleased. As noted Stefani was delightful. She shared suggestions with us on where to shop and directed us to the local beaches. Walked us through the entire home and made sure we understood how everything worked. The location is about 30 minutes from the City Center in a small village that is full of shops and restaurants. It is a short walk down the hill to the village, where we ate several of our meals. The town along the sea is a bit further. You could walk it but I recommend a rental car if you are going to stay in this house. Also, there is a much larger grocery in the town than in the village. Overall a wonderful property that we are very happy we found. We would absolutely recommend this location.

After three years of staycation's we were looking for something a little special for our first international trip in some time and this villa was the perfect getaway. Situated at the top of a hill in Koutouloufari, the Villa offered privacy in a location that was a short walk from the village which had a great selection of bars and restaurants. If you're looking at the pictures and thinking 'wow' like we did you are in for a treat when you arrive as the villa is even better in person than even the pictures show. She was even kind enough to go shopping for us ahead of our arrival so that we didn't have to go to the supermarket on our first day there - that really was an incredible touch. If you are looking for something offering privacy and is away from the tourist hotspots but that is accessible to these tourist hotspots if you want to visit then this villa is for you. It is essential to have a car - particularly if you would like to visit Chania, Heraklion, Plaka or Elounda - but there are taxis available if you need them. Hersonissos is the nearest biggest town and is about a 20-minute walk downhill from the Villa.

With air conditioning, hot/cold water, hairdryer, fresh towels, barbecue area and pool you really don't miss anything. The location is slightly elevated, which is why you also have sea views. Groceries can be reached in 1.5km and there are many small restaurants nearby. We thank you for the hospitality. Highly recommend

The villa is beautiful and peaceful with very few passing vehicles or people. Beds were comfy. Outside area was brilliant with lots a different seating areas and the pool was lovely to swim in and cool off after a day out in the sun. The walk into Koutouloufari is steep but not far at all and was ok walking in and walking home was a good leg work out. There is so much to do and some really fantastic restaurants on the door step of the villa. Stefani was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had.

Fabulous villa, peaceful and private and only a short walk down the hill to the lovely village of Koutouloufári with restaurants, bars and shops. 5 minute drive down to the main road where there is a large supermarket and lots of other shops. Short driving distance of some really nice beaches. Stefani was a wonderful host, very responsive and gave us some excellent recommendations. You must visit Nikos the Fisherman if you stay here, the best restaurant in the village by far. Thank you Antonis and Stefani, we will definitely be back!

The beds were very comfortable, the jacuzzi bath in the master bedroom heavenly. The pool was deep enough to swim, heated on request. The view and sunrises were fantastic. The proximity to the beautiful village of Koutoulafari is also very pleasant. In 3 minutes on foot (somewhat steep descent) you are in the village centre with many fine taverns, supermarkets and a bakery. Even though many restaurants were no longer open at the end of the season, we always found something suitable. The fish restaurant Nikos the Fisherman is highly recommended. The hosts are very pleasant and always available for questions and concerns.
