Stand out feature was Roula the owner, she was friendly, helpful and always there if we needed her. It was my wife’s birthday while we were there so she baked us a cake. A really lovely lady and we all agreed we would come here again. ##### Derek S.

The house was wonderful — spacious, clean, and even better than we expected. Roula was a fantastic host, incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend both the accommodation and the host. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! ##### Mattias S.

The outdoor area with kitchen and pool was absolutely fantastic – perfect for our vacation. Roula was an exceptional host throughout our stay - very friendly, flexible, and helpful with everything we needed. The location is a bit outside the city center, so having a rental car was useful. However, there are nice restaurants nearby, which gave us great options for both dining out and cooking at the villa. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped villa with a friendly and helpful host!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ##### Sander L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bindiya G. 25 Aug 2025 #### Review for stay from 14 August 2025 to 20 August 2025 Absolutely Perfect Stay – Couldn't Recommend More! We recently stayed at this villa with a large group of family and friends, and it was honestly one of the best holiday rentals we’ve ever experienced. The space was perfect for a big group – spacious, open, and designed with both comfort and entertaining in mind. Whether we were cooking outdoors, lounging by the pool, or just enjoying the views, everything about the villa made it feel like a true getaway. The layout was ideal for families, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out without feeling disconnected. It’s clear the villa has recently been refurbished to a very high standard – everything felt modern, stylish, and thoughtfully put together. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the outdoor areas were just fantastic for group meals and relaxing evenings. A special mention has to go to Roula, the owner, who was simply amazing – warm, welcoming, and always on hand if we needed anything. You can really tell she cares about her guests having the best possible experience. We’d return in a heartbeat and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and well-appointed place to stay with family or friends. ##### Bindiya G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Eliros Mare Beachfront Poem Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Eliros-Mare.h9470135.Hotel-Information) > > [Annas House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Annas-House.h5276211.Hotel-Information) > > [Gouves Water Park Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Gouves-Water-Park-Holiday-Resort.h699330.Hotel-Information) > > [Elena SeaFront Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Elena-Apartments.h92313695.Hotel-Information) > > [Cretan Dream Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Cretan-Dream-Villa.h44106714.Hotel-Information) > > [Almyrida Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Almyrida-Resort.h16637183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kalyves Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Hotel-Kalyves-Beach.h1451631.Hotel-Information) > > [Almyrida Village & Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Almyrida-Bay.h5272291.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Selection Rinela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Douliana Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Douliana-Villas.h15103362.Hotel-Information) > > [ Vantaris Luxury Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Vantaris-Beach.h21197674.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Sunrise-Suites.h4537160.Hotel-Information) > > [Daphne-Morfi Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Daphne-Morfi-Village.h19654323.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Blu - Adults Only by Checkin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Casa-Blu-By-Checkin.h66471495.Hotel-Information) > > [NEMA Design Hotel & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-NEMA-Design-Hotel-Spa.h12376062.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mer Resort & Spa Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-La-Mer-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h24462590.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Lake Villa Heated Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Blue-Lake-Villa-Heated-Pool.h53165750.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Beach-Resort-Milatos.h660214.Hotel-Information) > > [Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Stella-Island-Luxury-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h16508136.Hotel-Information) > > [Leste Luxury Homes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Leste-Luxury-Homes.h44396994.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Royal-Imperial-Belvedere-Hotels.h1191451.Hotel-Information) > > [Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Kalypso-Cretan-Village-Resort-Spa.h1853964.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun and Sea Plus Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Sun-And-Sea-Plus-Resort-Hotel.h33716934.Hotel-Information) > > [Niriides Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Niriides-Hotel.h4144519.Hotel-Information) > > [Orpheas Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Orpheas-Resort-Adults-Only.h2059170.Hotel-Information) > > [Kera Green Private Villa with heated salt water pool.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Kera-Green-Private-Villa-With-Heated-Salt-Water-Pool.h47768274.Hotel-Information) > > [Anemos Luxury Grand Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Anemos-Luxury-Grand-Resort.h13097325.Hotel-Information) > > [Mythos Palace Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-Mythos-Palace-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h1252683.Hotel-Information) > > [The architect's house](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apokoronas-Hotels-The-Architects-House.h14801831.Hotel-Information) ---
