Great house for families with young children. ##### Yevgeniya Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roberto 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Good property but can improve No formal check in, just show up and that’s it. Communication was a bit confusing at first due to language barrier. Looks like property is shared amongst other adjacent homes with longer term tenants and pool is preferred to be used during time slots to not disturb others. Mind you, I had 4 kids with me. Overall experience was good but could have been great! ##### Roberto Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dilma 12 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, room comfort, communication We’re had visited Crete and we stayed at the village homes Alkistis, is 20 minutes from the Airport and very well known, soon we had arrived at our destination with a large group of people!
