Overall a lovely stay in a great setting. Felt very homely and we enjoyed the outdoor spaces and peace and quiet of the village. Loved the local taverna, also liked the Stone Museum. Beaches nearby were beautiful. Chania is stunning and only about 40 minutes drive. We all enjoyed an end of season trip to the waterpark south of Chania. Helpful owner, arranged for one of his staff to meet up when we were a little later than originally planned.

The house was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great holiday in Almyrida. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The accommodation itself was beautiful, comfortable, and truly exclusive. Everything exceeded our expectations. The owner also runs a restaurant nearby, and in my opinion, it is one of the best restaurants in Almyrida! The food, atmosphere, and hospitality were fantastic. We had an amazing experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en Crète. Le logement était propre, bien entretenu et conforme à la description. Les équipements annoncés étaient bien présents et fonctionnels, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de notre séjour. L’emplacement est également pratique pour découvrir les environs. Quelques points sont toutefois à savoir : le stationnement se fait dans la rue et il peut parfois être nécessaire de composer avec les places disponibles et les voisins. Par ailleurs, plusieurs chiens présents dans les alentours peuvent aboyer durant la nuit, ce qui peut être gênant pour les personnes sensibles au bruit. Dans l’ensemble, nous avons passé un bon séjour et nous remercions nos hôtes pour leur accueil.

sono stata una settimana con la mia famiglia, eravamo in 5 e ci siamo stati comodamente. la villa è bellissima, ben curata e non è mancato veramente nulla. ogni stanza ha il suo condizionatore ma nonostante il caldo non l'abbiamo utilizzato sempre perchè i muri garantiscono una temperatura sempre adeguata. la piscina era sempre pulita perchè oltre a venire a fare le pulizie della casa pulivano anche la piscina e tutto l'ambiente circostante. la zona in cui è ubicata è un po' lontana dalle grandi città ma non abbiamo preferito così per avere un po' di pace in ferie. Il proprietario persona carinissima e Zeta ci ha seguito in ogni nostra esigenza. ci torneremo !
