Villa Isabelle: private pool and panoramic sea views, Sisi, Crete

The villa is beautiful, the pool is large and although too deep for small ones to reach the bottom, the small pool is big enough for them to enjoy. The rooms are nice, beds a bit hard in some bedrooms, which seems a common thread.Outside is nice, bbq area and exterior kitchen good too. Plenty of nice beds and sitting areas are comfy and great for dining outside in large groups. The only real issue Is the road up to the villa, its rough in areas, you need a car with good clearance to get over some of the rocky patches.

The most beautiful villa in the most beautiful setting. There are things that could have been better though. If you like very firm beds... we are a family that likes to cook, and the kitchen could have been better equipped. All that said we had the loveliest holiday in a stunning villa.

Villa Isabelle was the perfect place for our family summer holiday. The villa is simply stunning and worth the drive up the bumpy hillside track! The pool was the highlight of the holiday, it’s massive and was the perfect place to spend the afternoon cooling off. The villa has stunning views down to the ocean but also of the hills. The nearby village of Sisi stole our hearts, it’s just beautiful and has everything you need without being too touristy. A lovely bay, excellent tavernas and local shops. The villa was perfectly appointed for our holiday, the master suite on the top floor felt very palatial - what a treat. All bedrooms were a good size and the living areas are spacious. The outside eating area was excellent, the best place for many barbecues and to watch the sunset. The villa has large grounds, so you can easily spread out and find a bit of space to relax. This was the setting of a holiday we will always remember, the villa is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some quality family time but also to be used as a base for exploring the delights of Crete. We would go back in a heartbeat!

It was wonderful. The whole service (pick up from the airport, advice on excursions,...). Audrey and her team know what they are doing and they do a perfect job.

We are a big family and needed 6 rooms with bathrooms. So this house was perfect for us, the pool is soooo big and the terrasse great for bbq and hanging out. There is enough room around the house to look for quietness, also enough lawn to do some sports. The communication with Audrey was quick and when the coffeemaschines were broken, she bought immediately new ones. We enjoyed our stay very much and were sad to leave this piece of paradise.

Lovely property, quiet and peaceful location . The views and sun set was amazing, need to consider the vehicle you need. In our opinion we would suggest that a few things are needed to give it the Luxury feel.

Overall this villa lived up to our high expectations, we had booked around 14 months in advance and had looked at the photos hundreds of times !!! They were accurate. The views from the villa and the infinity pool were amazing. We had great time as a family of 10 with many evenings spent watching the sun go down - we will not forget these. Mosquitos did appear after sunset. There were a couple of minor issues we had to contact Audrey about, which she dealt with quickly - hot tub not hot, showers cold, no mop to keep floor clean. Slight issues with cleaning - master bedroom had debris under sofa and popcorn on floor; lounge sofa similar and broken glass under bed in first pool room. Also, a brand new dress left by mistake in a wardrobe was never recovered.

'Luxury Villa' say it all !! This really is a stunning top class villa set up above Sissi with fabulous views over the coast, and mountains as a backdrop. We had a perfect week here, from the moment we were met at the airport. We had requested a car and were met by a driver with another car to take all the luggage and take us to the villa. The villa is certainly 'off the beaten track', and I wouldn't have fancied finding it on our own in the dark ! Audrey and her team run a very efficient service and are always on hand to provide advice, local knowledge or sort out any issues which may arise. There is really no need to ever leave the villa if you want complete relaxation. The pool and the gardens are kept in immaculate condition. We were lucky enough to have the Master Suite on the first floor which was stunning, with its own private terrace and amazing views. We also had the private chef service one night at the villa. The food was gorgeous and very good value for money, making it a lovely evening. An excellent luxury villa which I would highly recommend.

We just got back from a week at the Villa Isabella with our children and grandchildren and it was, in a word, amazing! The villa was very comfortable, equipped with every necessity, lots of room, and comfortable beds. The patio and yard were wonderful and we spent most of our time outside, enjoying the beautiful, well -kept gardens and the gorgeous view. And of course the pool- it was perfect and we especially loved all of the floats that we found in the basement. I remember floating in the pool and thinking to myself that it doesn’t get better than this! We had planned daily activities for the family before we left but in the end we actually just stayed in some of the days because it was so relaxing and we had everything that we needed. The staff was very friendly, from the pool man to the gardener and the cleaning crew. And Audrey was great! We had sent a million questions before we got there and she very patiently and promptly answered each one. We highly recommend a stay in the Villa Isabella!

WOW!!!!!! That is how I describe the villa on entering the grounds it is nothing like the beautiful pictures you see online it’s so much better. Stunning views perfect pools and the little square pool was perfect for my 4-year-old granddaughter to play safe in Eva was there to meet us on arrival, was on the phone if we needed her, and came to wave us goodbye. Fantastic company, Audrey and her team are easy to work with from booking online to the final goodbye (for now !!) We booked a car through Audrey which was great value, and we rented a private boat for our party of 11 through the local restaurant Remezzo ( in the harbor) again on Audrey recommendation which was a fantastic day out and included super BBQ lunch etc. Thanks for a perfect vacation 5 stars plus xxx
