Cretan Vineyard Hill Villa | private pool, panoramic view, beautiful vineyard

A truly fabulous villa, with an amazing hosting family. Kostas is super helpful and prompt with all the logistics and arrangements, then at the property his sister Maria is so very friendly, welcoming and generous. The family cooked us dinner one evening, which was delicious! The setting of the villa is amazing, in the heart of a vineyard with stunning views in all directions. The villa itself is high quality, spacious and very well presented.There is a nearby village, only 800 metres away, to provide all the basics (groceries, bakery, bar), or it is an easy taxi to any location on Crete. Thank you Kostas, Maria and Family, we can't wait to come back.

We have stayed at a lot of properties. This was by far the best. Our host family was so welcoming and there were so many welcoming touches I can’t name them all. And I wouldn’t want to spoil anyone's furure surprise. The home is beautiful and the kitchen is better equipped than mine! You will love it here.

Kostas the owner and his mom provided the best hospitality we have ever had. We needed a taxi to go to Samaria Gorge in the early morning and late evening and Kostas took care of everything. House has everything and wonderful pool and gorgeous inside. Highly recommend this villa for large family gatherings or group of friends.

Kostas, (property manager) was fabulous in meeting any of our requests. He gave wonderful restaurant recommendations for some of the most fabulous Grecian food our family has ever had. The villa was very clean, as well as the surrounding grounds and pool. They greeted us with wine and fruit and for us to enjoy local cuisine experience, they cooked an evening meal for all of us (9) that was wonderful. Even though the villa was not waterfront, we enjoyed traveling the island of Crete stopping at the various beaches - each offering special experiences. We would close each day at the villa poolside which was very peaceful with a soft warm wind blowing to cool us. This villa is not misrepresented in the VRBO listing and created a very special memory for all of us! I cannot Thank the host and family enough for their care and management of the property!

OMG! How do I begin to describe paradise? This villa is an absolute gem. It is spacious and immaculately clean with so many amenities that make this truly a home away from home. The most outstanding part of our stay was the amazing hospitality of our hosts. They welcomed us as family not just guests. When we arrived, Kostas and his family had provided us with fresh fruit...apricots, lemons and nectarines from their fruit trees, bottles of wine from their vineyard and an amazing homemade orange cake. We arrived late and did not have time to stop at the market for some food essentials, so we were thrilled when we opened the refrigerator to find fresh eggs, milk for coffee and more fresh fruit. They even left us some of their homemade Raki...Yum! The final Piece de Resistance was the homemade Cretan dinner provided by Kostas's mom...outstanding! Thank you to Kostas and his family for an amazing week. Everything exceeded our expectations. P.S. To Kostas's dad...a special thank you for the olive oil. Very much appreciated. To Kostas's mom...a special thank you for the cake and dinner...truly amazing. We'll be back!!

Very comfortable for large families. Clean and comfortable for all. The property is located on a winery overlooking the city with ocean views. Quick drive to everything in town and the ocean. Toward the end of our stay, they cooked us a phenomenal meal. For anyone looking to find a place to stay Kostis and his family provide a home away from home. Thank you again for everything!

We regularly rate but seldom leave reviews. On this occasion we feel obligated. Having rented multiple villa's all over the world I can only relay that this is the best rental stay my family has ever enjoyed. That the villa is wonderfully equipped, well designed, and caters for just about everything somehow pales against the welcome, service and dedication Kostas and his family shower upon their guests for the duration of their stay. Initially welcomed to the property with a radiant smile and a (delicious) home baked cake, we were shown an abundance of fresh provisions, great wine, awesome raki - all produced on the vineyard for us to enjoy at leisure, with an invite to ask for more as we needed. Oh, and of course, just help yourself to pomegranates and citrus growing outside the villa. The meal Kostas' mother prepared for us was fresh and delicious (and plentiful!). Kostas is a local and is honest with his recommendations when you ask. Very knowledgeable about where to visit, what to eat, where to eat, etc. He gave us great ideas where to go and most importantly, when to go. Having travelled all over the world for 30 years, for the first time ever we are returning to the same place next year!

The villa is in immaculate condition, has everything you could wish for (comfy beds, great air con, a kitchen with everything you could possibly need) and Kostas and his family were fantastic hosts - nothing was too much trouble for them and the welcome pack they gave us with fruit, water, wine and raki was just brilliant! I can't speak highly enough of them all!

Kostas and his family were so friendly and accommodating, they made our stay extra special and we couldn't have asked for a better service. The Villa was beautiful and had everything we needed to the highest standard, we had such a lovely time.

Probabaly one of the nicest villas we have stayed in. Very clean,comfortable and beautifully maintained. However the thing that really makes a stay at this villa so special is the wonderful hospitality shown by Kostas and his family. From the start of the booking process Kostas was very to easy to deal with and was never more than a text away during our stay. On our arrival we were not only greeted with wine from the vineyard but home pressed olive oil, raki of varoius types, home made cake, fruits from the surrounding trees and during our stay Kostas mother cooked us the most wonderful Cretan meal. Nothing was ever any bother. A big thank you to Kostas and family for making our stay so special and memorable.
