The service is worthy of a 5-star hotel: private pool, high-end bedding, smart TV, walk-in shower, local hospitality products, daily cleaning, a bottle of wine and fruit offered on arrival... what more could you ask for? This spot deserves 5 stars! As for the location, the location is 15 minutes from Heraklion and makes it easy to discover Crete away from the crowds of tourists. It's easy to get through olive trees and fruit tree fields. The most planned beach is only 15/20 min away. Finally, the hosts are very available to guide you during your stay. Cleaning service is high quality and the staff are lovely. Go for it and book

Beautiful villa with an unspoilt view

Only 15 mins from Heraklion town, nice and easy to get in and a very tasty local bakery 2 minutes down the road (and local shop). Nicolas was great at check in and out, we felt very safe and cleaners came every day for a spruce. Definitely recommend

Check in was very late at night which was no problem at all and since our departure was only in the evening we were even allowed to stay a little longer in the accommodation. The villa had more than exceeded our expectations. It was really totally beautiful and you have your peace. Cleanliness was great. The apartment has been cleaned by cleaners every day. Unfortunately, the villa is a bit remote, which is why a car is only recommended, otherwise you won't get far at all.

After a hot day of sightseeing there is nothing better than to swim in your own pool. In addition to that fast responses from the owners when we sent a question, amazing interior design, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, close to Heraklion. The villa was one of a couple of suites next to eachother but it was so calm and quiet. True dream vacation
