Die Lage ist perfekt, schön ruhig, aber doch so zentral, um schnell Einkäufe und viele andere Ausflugsziele zu erreichen. Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei Christina! ##### Dina H. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 12 Aug 2021 #### Always a pleasure This was our 4th time staying at Helianthos and it has never disappointed. The houses are well-designed, comfortable and have everything you need. The house and premises are spotless. The pool is great and the view of the mountains superb. The place is quite and even though you share with two other families, there is plenty of privacy. This year the temperature was 43 degrees C and nonetheless the house stayed cool, at least downstairs. Air conditioning took care of the upstairs! The wifi could be a bit stronger. ##### Sam ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie-Liesse P. 4 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super séjour Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette charmante propriété.

De woning voldeed zeker aan de verwachtingen, alles aanwezig en mooi gelegen. Bleef goed koel, en ook beneden en boven goede airco aanwezig. Zwembad gaf heerlijke verkoeling. Het dorpje is schilderachtig, leuk om doorheen te wandelen, ook een mooie wandeling te doen vanuit het dorp naar een kapel in het bos. In het dorp is nog een wat groter zwembad bij een minimarkt, ook mogelijk om gebruik van te maken. 10 minuten rijden naar Kalyves en Almirida, leuke badplaatsen. En ruim een half uur naar Chania, prachtig oud centrum, en het vliegveld. Vamos ook een sfeervol dorp vlakbij. Al met al heerlijk verblijf van een week gehad! ##### Kees v. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Reposant Très jolie maison bien équipée et confortable située dans un beau petit village au calme à flanc de colline et bercé (ou pas) par le bruit des Kri-Kri . Christina, l’hôte est très accueillante et à l’écoute. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié aussi la piscine et la climatisation pour nous rafraîchir aux heures chaudes. De plus c’est idéalement situé pour visiter l’ouest de la Crète. Vous serez à moins de 2 heures des spots les plus éloignés et relativement au centre du reste. Nous conseillons vivement cet endroit. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian D. 17 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### angenehmer Aufenthalt Der Aufenthalt in der Villa Helianthos 2 hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
