Traditional Villa with Sea & Mountain View - Including tours to our private farm

The house and pool was beautiful. Eleftheria was the best host

We very much enjoyed our stay in this excellent villa. Very quiet location. Our host, Eleftheria, was so helpful and hospitable. Highly recommended!

Very spacious and well equipped villa. Lovely gardens and many comfortable seating areas outside. Large and deep adult pool with great children’s pool at one end. Much nicer than its description. Charming and helpful host, Eleftheria, who speaks very good English. Great area, good beaches & tavernas not too far away. Car essential. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

We had a great time at Petrinos Milos. The house is amazing and even better than the pictures suggest. The local beaches are beautiful. The taverna in the village is really welcoming and does great food. Above all, the holiday was made extra special by the warm welcome and hospitality of our hosts, Eleftheria, Manolis and their children. Thank you!!

In Greek mythology, hospitality was a divine right of guests and a divine duty of hosts. Manolis and Eleftheria’s embody this right. Having been lucky enough to stay in numerous villas over the last 17 years, our family are in total agreement that this is the best. The villa is only surpassed by the hosts who could not be more helpful, whilst being respectful. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and were made to feel so welcome by the whole Dhrimiskos community that we could not recommend highly enough.

We were there for 2 weeks and enjoyed every day. Eleftheria cooked Moussaka for us when we arrived and provided local products from their own farm (olives, olive oil, wine and raki). The house is clean and has everything you need for great vacations.

A beautiful spacious house in a small mountain village. Despite our late arrival, Eleftheria was ready with a fresh mousaka. She was also very helpful throughout our stay and had great tips. For those who love peace, this is a wonderful environment. You do need a car and it is a short drive to larger places. Not to be missed: Preveli gorge.

We spent seven marvellous days end of April 2016 in this house with two families. We loved the size of the rooms and the garden. This was our fifth villa in Crete and the ratio price/quality is extraordinarily good. Drimiskos is a few steps away, we really love the kafeneion to meet local villagers, eat and drink. Its by a wonderful little square. Our favourite was to light a fire in the fireplace and enjoy the homemade raki Eleutheria and Manolis offered to us. They are so helpful and welcoming. You feel part of Crete. Location is very good near many fantastic beaches, that can be reached by car. All is very clean and every luxury you might want, is available. The decoration is maybe somewhat outdated fashion wise for some, but we looked at it as very nice handmade Cretan style furniture. The place is much bigger than the pictures show. Only downside is that it was kind of windy in April on the slopes of the mountain. But then again, that made for an exciting scenery for the 4 kids. I would really recommend staying here if you like a relaxing holiday with lots of space both in and around the house.

We couldn't have asked for better than the two weeks we spent in Drimiskos, Crete in late Sept/early October. As a family of five from Ireland including two small children and Grandfather, this house was perfect for our needs. The house is exactly as described, traditional Cretan decor, spacious, very clean and everything you need available. The pool & gardens were lovely and we were delighted to be able to use the variety of organically grown vegetables and salads available in the garden. We even got some fresh Goat's milk after Eleutheria took us to visit the farm just above the house. The beaches in the area are numerous and vary from small coves to longer beaches - we visited a different one almost everyday! Most have a kafenia or restaurant down at the beach. The landscape in this area is mountainous and very dramatic and travel is slow as roads are often little more than dirt tracks. A hire car is essential as Drimiskos itself is very small with no supermarket and just one small Kafenia. We were lucky enough to join in a birthday celebration in the village and spent a magical evening listening to traditional Cretan music and watching the locals (and expats) dancing the night away! Eleutheria, Manolis and their two children were perfect hosts. They couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and their warm hospitality made this the perfect holiday for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Cretan life and culture for a few weeks.

This was one of the most idyllic places we have ever been to. We enjoyed the panoramic view, the tranquility, the tinkling bells of goats and sheep, the great swimming pool with beautiful garden, flowers and trees all around. The house itself is very nice and clean, the kitchen is fully equipped, the rooms are big and nicely decorated. We really felt at home. There is also a balcony with sea view which is accessible from every bedroom. Great to look at the sea in the morning when you wake up! The village is very quiet and peaceful, with a nice 'kafenio'. But most of all we enjoyed the contact with our host Eleftheria ( and her lovely husband and children). She always helped and supported us when we had questions ( about local traditions or nice places to see, to swim, to eat for example). When we arrived she served a complete meal for us, and there was also self made jam, artichokes, and wine, raki and olive oil from own production. We felt very welcome. Our children also enjoyed it a lot. We really experienced the kindness of Cretan people and the beauty of the island. We've never found a place like this - just a little paradise - and we definitely would recommend it. We hope to come back soon!
