Perfect Holiday Getaway

Fabulous property set on a hillside above Plaka village. Immaculately clean, spacious house. Very well appointed except lacking a few kitchen utensils. Sensibly, plenty of plastic 'crockery' as the position of the house made it quite windy. Beautiful pool. Again immaculate but not for younger children, non swimmers. Fabulous location near the village where there are plenty of restaurants with nearby Almeryda another option. Definitely a car is preferable.

By far the best property that we stayed in on our tour of Crete. Would definitely stay here again, loved Plaka and enjoyed the boat hire at Almirida.

Beautiful home, close to several wonderful beaches, restaurants, and a great local town with grocery, bakery, etc. The hosts were wonderful and the sunset from the pool cannot be beat.

Perfect for 2 couples. Bright and airy villa.Lovely pools..not too cold…. (But v deep..could only stand on tip toes one end- I’m 5.7”) Check in and check out very easy -were met by Leo the housekeeper who also organised return taxi to airport. Thank you!

Villa is situated a short walk up the hill from the village of Plaka. Unobstructed views of Souda Bay and amazing sunsets. Villa is great value for money with good facilities. Good communications with both owner David and manager Michalis who was quick to respond to our queries.

Three good rooms leading into pool and a choice of terraces depending on time of day. Great views and easy but steep walk into village for food and drinks. Five min drive to sea and loads to do.

The villa was everything we’d hoped for; clean, modern, well-equipped and well-furnished, with lots of nice artwork. The pool was fab, with a spectacular view from both balconies. The villa was quiet and peaceful, though only a ten minute walk from great tavernas in the village of Plaka, where there were also two mini-markets and a couple of bars. Elpis was our favourite taverna, delicious food with enormous choice and a lively outdoor terrace. Sunset was more traditional, with a fine view. Closer still to the villa was Totem, great for lunch and cocktails and purveyors of fine homemade fig jam. David’s communication with us beforehand was comprehensive and helpful and we followed several of his local recommendations, including lunch in Chania.

The villa exceeded our expectations. Good communication with David prior to our stay, with some great recommendations. Michalis met us at the Villa on our arrival. He was very informative sent us lots of info about the area things to see, places to eat and where to shoo. We had to use medical care whilst there but Michalis was helpful with where to go. Any issues and he was quick to respond. The pool is brilliant, the views spectacular especially sunset. You need a car but Plaka has a lovely little square of restaurants with very friendly staff. This is a 10 min walk away. Nearby Almyrida and Kalives are a short drive away and great for restaurants, shopping and beaches. We were all sad to leave.

Stunning villa with all you could need for a relaxing holiday. Perfect location for relaxing by pool or exploring local area. Just outside Plaka village which has great restaurants and well stocked supermarkets. We loved this villa and would definitely stay here again.
