    Our stay at Inn Villa was perfect. We stayed for 6 nights and the house was stocked with everything we needed for our holiday. The welcome basket and bottle of wine was a lovely treat for a long travelling day. Nikoaeta was the perfect host. The house was much larger than we needed but was the perfect location so we booked it and so happy we did. We had a car rental but beach, restaurants and shopping were very close by. We did a lot of exploring and loved coming back to our villa to have a swim in the beautiful private pool. We could not have been happier.

    This is a fantastic villa in an excellent location, definitely a five star option. Everything has been really well thought out to help you relax and enjoy the holiday. There are lots of nice, thoughtful touches (ready supply of toiletries in the bathrooms, good quality beach towels, welcome pack, pool toys), the layout is really good (a nice cool eating area, a lovely sun terrace and a smaller seating area for when it gets too hot) and the villa and surrounding area is immaculate. I would recommend hiring a car if staying here as Sfakaki is quite a small, sleepy village and its useful to have independent transport to explore further afield, and it would also be quite tough to walk from the local supermarket with any serious volume of shopping. Nicoleta could not have been a better host and was always available to help out where needed

    We stayed at the villa the first two weeks of July 2023 and it could not have been better! The villa is very well furnished and extremely clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware which was great for us as it allowed us to cook some meals when the children were too tired to go out at night. We had air conditioning for those hot days and a pool to cool off. The hosts cleaned the outside very often before we were up. We did not even notice when they came by. The villa is close to the sea, small markets, coffee shops, a bakery, etc. A car is still recommended to get around further. And the best for last! Our host Nikoleta was amazing. She waited for us at our arrival and welcomed us with a basket of gifts and gave us some gifts when we left too. She was very welcoming and very helpful with recommendations. We had a great stay and would recommend this villa to anyone!

    The villa was fully equipped and had everything you could possibly need. The owner was easily contactable if we had any questions. The garden and pool area were cleaned almost daily and everything was perfect. We hired a car which we found useful. In the evenings we walked to a range of local restaurants and tavernas. The walk might have been more difficult with young children. The local beach was lovely and easily accessible. We would definitely book this villa again if returning to this area of Crete.

    Nicoleta was the perfect hostess for the perfect house. Everything in the house was spotless and tidy. We felt really well cared for and we got help finding the best spots and ways to get around. Not to mention the great olive oil that was provided by Nicoleta. We truly enjoyed our stay and if the kids had decided we wouldn’t have left the house at all. If you are considering a visit to this part of Crete you will not find a better accommodation.

    This was a fantastic holiday for us. The villa is amazing - even better than it looks in the photos. It has everything you need and has been designed beautifully. Nicoleta and George are the most wonderful and generous hosts. They looked after us so well but were never intrusive. We knew that they were at hand if we needed anything. The pool was cleaned every day before we woke. Our flight was delayed on arrival and Nicoleta waited up for us until the early hours of the morning to great us with a welcome basket. They left gifts for our children to play with in the pool. You have everything you need in the kitchen, including a coffee machine. There are so many lovely spaces outside to sit and enjoy the morning coffee and read. We all loved to use the pool which is suitable for older children/swimmers. We had a hire car but you can walk to the local restaurants and bakery/coffee shop if you wanted to. I would love to live in this villa! Thank you so much Nicoleta and George. We couldn’t have had a better holiday.
