If you're reading this review and thinking about renting this house, do not hesitate! Book it right away! We had an amazing time at Stefani and Antonis's place. The pictures do not do the house or view justice. It was immaculately clean and communication was immediate and friendly. The owners are wonderful people and we are so happy they shared their home with us. The pool was perfect, the house was perfect, the location was perfect. Koutouloufari is a great village--near the main tourist towns so it wasn't far to get to the nearest supermarket, etc...but set far enough away so that you do not have to deal with the crowds or package tour groups. It was one of our favorite travel experiences and we hope to make it back one day!

We had a wonderful time. The Villa and pool were lovely, with stunning views. It’s a short walk to a picturesque village with some lovely restaurants and shops. The walk down to the main town and beach is a little longer. As the villa is at the top of the hill be prepared for a little workout when walking back. Stephanie is a wonderful host very responsive, helpful and kind and full of great advice. Will most definitely go back.

The master bedroom was a bit small for us because we have a baby but everything was clean, the unit was very well stocked, and we loved the little village below. Check in was great and we had a nice tour from the property manager, she also gave us local food delivery choices which was very helpful since we arrived late the first day. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Had a fantastic stay. Stefani and Atonis were very responsive before our stay with a few questions we had and Stefani met us on arrival and helped to sort some shopping. Stefani was responsive throughout the stay and provided some useful advice. The villa itself was stunning and perfect for the 5 of us that stayed. All the facilities we needed and the views, garden and pool were superb. The village is a few mins walk away and has some great and friendly family run restaurants. As other reviews have said the walk back up the hill is challenging but worth the hike for the views and privacy. Would definitely return.

The villa was the perfect spot for our first trip to Crete. It sits high up on a hill with inspiring vistas of the sea and surrounding areas, perfect for just relaxing with amazing views or catching a sunrise. The villa is spacious and clean and was perfect for our family of four (with two older teenage kids). We rented a car to explore the island and having a private parking spot makes things so easy. The location is a short five minute walk down the hill (a somewhat longer walk back up the hill) to the town of Koutouloufari which has nice shops and a lot of good restaurants. I recommend a car since its a hilly area and getting to the beach or supermarket or going into Heraklion for dinner or other activities is much easier than trying to take a taxi or walking. Stefani and Antonis were great hosts and helped us arrange transportation to/from the airport, arrange rental car, give us local tips and suggestions of places to visit and eat. I would definitely stay here again.

The pool is perfect, the view breathtaking and the little village down the street has some really nice restaurants . The location is perfect. There is total privacy at the villa up the hill , but there is lots to explore in the area : Great restaurants right by the sea, fun things to do for the kids and cultural excursions near by.We can highly recommend to stay at this absolutely fabulous villa!

It was clean and fits the description. We came in early April, when the season was just starting. A lot of restaurants were not open yet. But Stefanie gave us a lot of good recommendations of restaurants in the village or nearby villages. We actually enjoyed the slow season since all the places we went were not packed with tourists.

We got locked out and they quickly let us in (thankfully!). The pool was wonderful and heated. The town is pretty quiet in March but we liked that - but if you want lots of restaurants it’s probably better to go April- October. It’s really not a far drive to various tourist attractions. The house is on a hill and the views of the ocean are breathtaking! The hosts gave us great recommendations and if we are ever back in Crete we shall stay here again!

We had a really nice stay - the villa is lovely and clean, communication with host easy & they responded quickly. Nearby village is very sweet & traditional, and short drive gets you to the harbour & sea front. I would recommend a car rental as to get to the house is quite steep, (but could be done on foot if agile & going out in local area only). We really enjoyed our stay!

The villa is lovely and as described, we all had a great stay. Stefani provided cots for the babies and helped with everything we needed including a taxi transfer with baby seats. Koutouloufari is really close and a lovely village with lots of restaurants. The villa is at the top of quite a steep hill but we managed it with a double buggy so not too bad. Thanks for having us!
