"Yes, host was very accommodating. Met us there and gave us the rundown. I wouldn't change my rating for it but best to know that it is a long drive on winding mountain roads to get there. Once there though the place is quite unique and roomy. Definitely feel you are on a mountainous hillside in Crete - cats, goats donkeys and all! "

"My partner and I stayed at this beautiful family-owned hotel. We were impressed by the beautiful views from the balcony of our apartment and by the hotel itself. The apartment consisted of a large bedroom, living room / kitchen and bathroom with a balcony overlooking an inlet of the sea. As a family-owned hotel, it was lovely to meet them all and to be treated with such welcoming kindness. In the evenings, we were often somewhere on the island but if we were at the hotel, they shared their family evening meal, which was always delicious. We felt like we were at home. The rooms were cleaned daily except Sundays and were immaculate. "

"We had an emergency and had to leave early. The staff was very helpful in arranging flights. "

"Lovely location. Rooms fantastic and clean but very modern."

"There are nice tavernas nearby (2km).The kitchen riddled with so many ants that we did not eat in the villa. Photos are very old and do not match reality ,the pool cannot be seen from the villa (overgrown trees). Gardens are unkempt. Every villa overlooks another no privacy so close you could almost shake hands,"

"This was a fantastic stay and the listing couldn't be more accurate. We stayed for 8 nights and it was our first holiday with our 5 month old baby.Kathie and Chris are great hosts. They really made us feel at home and went through everything with us when we arrived which put us at ease for the week and made us fully familiar with how to live comfortably during our stay.The views are stunning. The sunrises in particular were breathtaking given the apartment sits on an eastern facing hill. Kathie and Chris have done an incredible job with the design of the space as well.The pool - this was the standout for us. We were keen to still stay somewhere that enabled us to explore the west side of the island but the private pool was a huge plus point as we were keen to get our 5 month old into it and have the privacy and peace to do so at our own pace (without lots of kids splashing around or similar at hotel pools). Don't be put off by the pool being salt water - this isn't remotely as explicit as it sounds. It's a process of chlorinating the water and isn't remotely what you would guess a salt water pool would be like - do not let the naive understanding of salt water pools put you off - its better than a regular pool.Overall an unforgettable stay, which is lovely as we will cherish our first ever family holiday being somewhere as amazing as this.Do not hesitate if you are considering booking this apartment!!

"Very nice resort. The only thing is I wish there were more drivers for the golf carts. Seems I always had to find them"

"Modern, well equipped villa with a great view near some lovely Tavernas in nearby villages but a car is essential to explore the area"

"Had a lovely stay, the house was plenty big enough for our party of 8. You definitely need a car to get around. Almyrida has a really lovely beach with plenty of bars and restaurants for our 2 week stay. Great atmosphere there. Also visited Plaka for a couple of meals and Gavalochori and would highly recommend both. Only criticism is the tree could do with trimming as when sitting on balcony we couldn’t see the amazing view of the sea (see last photo). Other than that we had a great time and would definitely recommend to other people thinking of visiting this part of Crete."
