The villa was so beautiful with a magnificent vista that we stayed in swimming at the infinity pool or off the private dock to the sea, cooking on the wood-fired grill for a number of days. The team arranged for a fabulous chef for a seafood grill birthday dinner, a private sail to an island, and a Greek cooking class - all exceptional. There were 7 adults and two children with room to spare. We wanted to stay forever. Dream spot

We were three families and visited this place for three nights. We had a great time, with the kids enjoying the pool. The view of the sea is beautiful from outside. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, although some of the utensils could be cleaned better. Overall, with multiple amenities, it's fairly well laid out. The steam room downstairs, the pool outside, washer-dryer, the direct view of the sea, and the overall layout of the house, make it worth the expenditure.It's a bit hard to find, so make sure you follow the directions but the first time in, you can easily get there. Jenny was kind enough to find us.It's a great location for a private event but there is no place you can walk to, so you have to take the car every time you want to go to a nearby restaurant or grocery. We found it very expensive to order services (private chef, etc.). There are plenty of things to do within a 15-20 minute drive.Overall, an excellent place if you want a secluded place for yourself.

Everything about it was perfect and relaxing. Exceptionally well-maintained with everything you need for cooking, and the pool and patios are lovely. We visited over the Christmas holiday and really appreciated the plentiful heat and hot water for the cool nights. Jenny was so helpful with pre-trip planning of activities and even arranged for a same-morning doctor visit when we needed one while there. George was wonderful while we were on-site, helping with anything we needed and regularly checking on us. He also cooked us a wonderful lamb and potatoes dinner, highly recommend! Speaking of cooking, Jenny arranged for Chef Eva to cook us a Cretan breakfast and a Cretan BBQ dinner. Eva and her crew are incredible! Our group declared it the best brunch we’ve ever had and the dinner was remarkable as well. The tomatoes, oranges, olive oil, and eggs all came from her own farm/gardens! Perfect stay.

The location was perfect-private yet close enough to get to everything you would want or need. Your staff is outstanding! Jenny was amazing at setting up anything we could possibly want including rides, massages, scooters and a private chef for 2 remarkable dinners with Eva. Not to mention a fun private tour to see the island with stops at a winery and olive harvesting. Jorges, his wife and family became like our family while we were there for 3 weeks. From daily trash pick up, rides when we weren’t sure where to go, spontaneous, delicious moussaka and housekeeping twice a week are just a few of the many wonderful interactions we had with them and their beautiful children. I literally shed tears when we left.

We stayed with 10 people and the upper two bedrooms are much more than the lower three bedrooms, but all rooms have a good standard. Be prepared for a bedroom lottery :-) Dimitris and the local support from Jorgos and wife are awesome. The road to the house is great and not dangerous as indicated in the other comment.

The villa is even better than the eye catching pictures. Amazing views, relaxing neighborhood, fully equipped, a place to make memories with your loved ones. The only thing we regret is that we could not stay longer than 3 days. Plan to stay at least for a week to enjoy both the amazing Crete island and the wonderful villa.

This is truly the vacation of a lifetime and if you’re on the fence about booking, do it. The views - incredible, the home - immaculate, the hospitality- unbeatable. All-in-all, I highly recommend.

10 / 10

It was completely as advertised and the view was spectacular. Jenny and George were very accommodating and responsive to our needs. We had a large group of friends that built amazing memories in a magical place with great things to do all around. If you are looking for sheer luxury and beauty…this is the place to go! I hope to be back soon.
