 Best value for money for sure. The pool is amazing. If I ever gonna be on Krite again, I would 100% book this place once again. Breakfast was super good, with a lot of food, the girl who served it always asked if we need anything more, what we want to change, or maybe we have some allergies. Overall super friendly stuff. You can see that villa is new, but the owner is taking great care of the place, fixing the smallest issues, cleaning the pool, etc.

If anyone can find luxury like this for a similar price I'd love to know because I can't and, based on my experience here, I will want to go there too!The view is amazing and the space to enjoy it from (inside and out) is spotless, modern, and super comfortable. The pictures are accurate but its still breathtaking when you see it for yourself. The host, Giannis, and his team are really friendly and helpful too.A quick hint though - there aren't many shops or restaurants nearby so consider bringing food and drinks with you (noting the supermarkets in Crete close on Sundays!). Alternatively, eFood deliver takeaway food here and I'd recommend Kaparos for restaurant quality chicken skewer portions!

The property itself was beautiful and so peaceful – exactly what we were hoping for. We simply had the best time. You definitely need a car as there isn’t anything within walking distance, but this really wasn’t a problem as it made it easy to explore the island and all its hidden gems. It was a perfect stay from start to finish, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely be visiting again!

Is the place to go if you want a peaceful and quite stay in Crete. It’s around 15 minutes outside of the Heraklion center, which means you spend around €15-20 for a taxi to Heraklion center. Giannis is a very responsive host and his team is very friendly and helpful all around. I would definitely recommend to stay here, it’s amazing. The views of the Vineyards are beautiful and it’s a very safe location. 10/10 Would stay again!

The view from the room makes you feel like you are close to nature, while still 15 minutes from the center of Herakleion. Giannis was very responsive and helpful from the beggining until the end of our journey. 5/5 would visit again anytime!Konstantinos…
