Holiday in Crete

The property was ideal for us, it had a lovely pool and was well located near some excellent tavernas in the nearby village. There was also a small bar /hotel a short walk from us where we could go and have a drink. The owner was helpful and the community were very friendly, we would definitely go back

Lovely villa

We had a lovely stay in the villa. It was as described, beautiful views and in a quiet location. Car is definitely needed. Two great tavernas near by.. Cretan corner was a fave of ours as they have a play house and kids toys in the outdoor area. Pool guy came frequently and was very friendly and pool was good temp. Maid came twice in our 10 day stay. Beds were comfortable, shower was always hot and good pressure. Good mini market down the road with most essentials A few things that may require improvements or things to be aware of with the villa… 1. Ants. Any food left out or even food left in bags which were sealed - we found trials and infestations of ants everyday. We weren’t left extra bin bags so had to purchase bin bags ourselves and then additional smaller bags to put any food we cooked/had left over in. 2. TV didn’t work and WiFi was poor 3. Tried to contact number provided for help with ant and wasp infestation but with no luck or communication 4. Aircon very loud and only upstairs. Fan downstairs was very powerful but very loud 5. No tools or coals available to use with BBQ 6. Baby chair straps were broken so really unsafe to use with our 8 month old 7. Not many pegs available to use with washing line 8. Bring some condiments with you if you can as none provided (salt,sugar,tea,coffee,etc) Overall great stay and great villa. Above are not negatives but things that could help improve the stay if corrected.

Traumhafter Blick

Schöner Außenbereich , sehr sauber und ordentlich, aber sehr hellhörig . Das 5.Bett ist nur eine Klappliege mit kindermatratze im Wohnzimmer . Es gibt einen lauten Kühlschrank. Der Hausmeister hat aber auf Nachfrage Abhilfe geschafft . Sehr freundliches Personal .

We had a lovely time at the Villa - we would recommend to family and friends. I would definitely say a car is required as it is quite out of the way of the local towns and we made great use of our car during our stay.

Villa vacance

Villa très bien située pour visiter l ouest de la crête à 15 min de voiture de Chania ( voiture et GPS indispensable pour trouver l emplacement de la maison) Villa propre avec un grand espace extérieur, magnifique vue sur la mer et la montagne, belle piscine, la literie est correct. Le petit point négatif est le manque de rideaux occultants aux fenêtres des chambres, du coup réveil matinal car se sont des volets ajourés ! Je recommande cette Villa.

Schöner Urlaub mit super Pool

Wir haben zwölf schöne Tage in dem Ferienhaus verbracht. Das Haus liegt auf einem Berg in einem kleinen Dorf. Um das Haus herum sind noch andere Ferienhäuser. Der nächste Minimarkt und die nächsten Tarvernen sind zu Fuß 10 Minuten entfernt. Das Haus liegt super gelegen für Ausflüge nach Chania oder zum Strand (ca 10 min mit dem Auto). Ein Auto ist unserer Meinung auf jedenfall empfehlenswert um sich die Gegend anzuschauen, zum Einkaufen oder um zum Strand zufahren. Das Haus an sich ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, hat uns aber nicht besonders gestört. Das einzige Negative sind die sehr harten Matratze, die sollten Mal gewechselt und gegen weicher und bequeme ausgetauscht werden. Das Highlight an dem Haus ist der große saubere Pool. Der Pool ist super geeinigt und bei warmen Temperaturen ein echter Segen. Von der Terrasse hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf das Meer. Wir können das Haus empfehlen und würden nochmal da Urlaub machen.

Schönes Ferienhaus aber leicht abgewohnt

Wir hatten im Ferienhaus und Pool einen sehr schönen Urlaub. Das Gebäude und Equipment ist allerdings nahe der Überalterung. Z.b. Toilettenspülung hängt ab und zu (kein Wasser kommt ), Fliegengitter defekt...usw. war aber alles ok bis auf die Betten...die sind so unendlich hart das man meint man liegt auf nem holzbrett. Fazit, schönes Haus, schöner Pool, bißchen Renovierung und auf die Matratzen einen Topper drauf...dann gäbe es nichts zu bemängeln.

Villa was clean and well presented. Location is perfect, out the way - but close enough to shops/restaurants and the beach by vehicle. Staff are just a text away if something is needed or not working. I received a response within an hour and the issue fixed within that time also. Highly recommended this Villa. Thank you. Heather

My wife and I had an extremely enjoyable week at Villa Stratos which was in good order and extremely clean. The Villa is in a great position and has good views over Souda bay the swimming pool is at present not overlooked and is very private but we did notice a property is being built which will overlook the pool when completed. Lastly I would like to compliment Pierre and Jenny who look after the villas as their service was first class and made our stay most enjoyable.

Overall an excellent holiday in a quiet location with lovely views of Souda Bay and the mountains. Great taverna in the square serving home cooked Cretan food. The beach at Kalives is sandy and long with a couple of lovely bars attached to hotels with plenty of sun beds. The ruins at Aptera are a must and a visit to the mountain villages is essential if you want to appreciate fully this part of Crete.
