The best villa we have ever stayed at. The owners and the manager are fantastic and always happy to help with any questions or recommendations. The villa is spotlessly clean. The villa is cleaned and all beddings changed every 3 days. The pool is cleaned by the owner every morning. The view from the villa is spectacular. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance (20-25 mins walk). We rented a car out so we could also venture out. We can’t wait to be back soon. ##### Lenka F.

The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, crockery, small appliances, dishwasher and microwave. Fresh bedding and towels were provided mid stay and we could have more on request. The owners couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. The shower is above the bath so if you have mobility issues you may struggle but otherwise the villa is all on one level, apart from a couple of steps at the entrance. A car is necessary to get about. It’s a long walk into Bali. The pool was just perfect and views were something else. Definitely worth the trip. ##### Nicola P.

The first villa that look exactly same as advertised online. The villa was very clean and also cleaned every 3 days and the pool was cleaned every morning. The views are spectacular! Yes you should have a car, however we are planning on visiting next summer and we are not going to rent a car. The taxis are very cheap. 5 euro to get to all restaurants and beaches or about 30 mins walk. There are lovely traditional tavernas and everyone is so so friendly. The owners were fantastic. Starting with a lovely starter pack, followed by fresh vegetables next day and a homemade cake too!! I was after some lovely glasses they were using for raki and the owner kindly found it for me, bought it and insisted i didnt pay her back! They also came to see s to say goodbye on the morning of our departure. We were very sad to leave the lovely place, but we will definitely be back. Thank you so much! Lenka, Stuart and Bobby. ##### Lenka F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah C. 14 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A positive Bali villa experience. Would highly recommend this property, the photographs in the villa summary are a true reflection of what you can expect. The property is cleaned every three to a very high standard. The are good views across the surrounding mountains and towards the sea. My husband and I received an excellent welcome on arrival . We hired a car for the duration of our holiday which we picked up from the airport. I would recommend a car as the villa is situated on a hill and is about 20 minute walk down into the village. You can however hire a car from within the village as there are lots of rental companies. We are keen walkers so would very often walk to and and from the village in the day. In the evening we walked into the village but used a taxi back. There are several supermarkets in the village and a butchers to. There is a small train that operates around the village that can get you between the bays , restaurants and bars. Bali is quite well centrally placed and sits on the national highway so is good for getting to places to explore. I would highly recommend this property , all credit to the owner and her team for making it a positive experience. ##### Sarah C.

Es war rundum perfekt. Die Gastgeber haben alle nur erdenklichen Annehmlichkeiten geboten, um den Urlaub perfekt zu machen. Die Kommunikation war außergewöhnlich, wir waren immer bestens in Kontakt. Die Sauberkeit perfekt und es wurde sich toll darum gekümmert. Auch kleine Überraschungen gab es. Das Haus hatte alles, was man in einem Ferienhaus braucht, wenn man als Familie reist, tolle Ausstattung. Die Lage der Villa ist atemberaubend, der Ausblick ein Traum. Mit einem Mietwagen kommt man perfekt überall hin. Die Gastfreundschaft der Griechen ist wirklich außergewöhnlich. Wir hatten einen rundum gelungenen Aufenthalt. ##### Jörg A.

Supplied us with tea/ coffee, breakfast toast and other essentials, plus a bottle of wine and some Raki!! Villa cleaned every 3 days, with fresh towels and bed linen, Beautiful views, very relaxing, would not hesitate to return. Valia at Home and Away was the most helpful to us particularly when we got 2 parking tickets!! She helped us find out where to pay them, although the tickets were understandably in Greek, cannot fault her help, always there if we needed her. Our first visit to Crete, and the resort of Bali, and it will not for sure be our last, can't fault Home and Away or the hosts. ##### David P.

Nous avons passé un magnifique moment dans cette villa, toute équipée (jusqu'à la lessive !) La vue est splendide à la fois sur la mer et sur les collines, avec la piscine au premier plan... Bali est à explorer le long de ces 3 plages et au bout de la 3eme plage c'est un magnifique panorama qui se présente. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié toutes les informations fournies avant notre arrivée, une réussite totale ! J'ai oublié de citer le ménage tous les 3 jours, parfait ! ##### Jean-Philippe N.

Schöne Einrichtung, toller Pool, sehr nette Vermieter. Allerdings sind Matratze und Kopfkissen etwas hart, das ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Und das permanente Glockengeläut der Schafe und Ziegen muss man auch mögen, wenn man mit geöffneten Fenstern schlafen möchte. Ansonsten: Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen! ##### Andrea W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### adrian g. 28 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful setting A lovely villa with stunning views and all that you need for a great, stress-free stay. The owners cleaned the villa and changed sheets, towels etc every 3 days which was perfect and the pool was cleaned every morning early (with no disturbances). On arrival they provided wine, raki, tea, coffee, olives and fruit which was a lovely idea and made us feel very welcome. Should you want to spend time in Bali itself, either on the beach or in the evenings at the tavernas, the walk is around 25 minutes downhill which is not a problem until you realise that carrying anything more than a towel and beach things back up to the villa is very difficult in the heat with the steepness of the walk so a car or taxi would definitely be needed, particularly if you have shopping to carry back. We did a couple of decent shops when we had our hire car and picked up a taxi for €5 the second night when we had no car so it wasn’t a problem but did restrict our evenings as we tended to stay in the villa rather than explore the village. Overall, however, the villa and our stay in Bali was really lovely and we would thoroughly recommend it. ##### adrian g.

Wir haben uns vom ersten Tag an wohl gefühlt in der Villa Violeta. Von unseren Vermietern wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen. Sie haben uns die wunderschöne Villa mit allen ihren Annehmlichkeiten gezeigt. Die Ferienwohnung ist komplett ausgestattet und enthält allen Komfort für einen perfekten Aufenthalt in diesem Domizil. Der Pool und der Blick auf die Berge sind einzigartig. So einen schönen Panaromablick haben wir noch nie erlebt. Wir haben jeden Augenblick dort genossen. Es ist in der Realität fast noch schöner als die Bilder. Der Pool wird jeden Tag gereinigt. Die ganzen Anlagen sind sehr gepflegt und sauber. Der Ort Bali ist mit dem Auto drei Minuten entfernt. Dort führen die Söhne der netten Vermieter das Restaurant Paradiso, dass auch sehr zu empfehlen ist. Dort haben wir drei romantische Abende mit Blick auf das Meer genossen. Das Essen dort ist sehr reichlich und lecker mit einer großen Auswahl und freundlicher Bedienung. Es war rundum ein perfekter Urlaub und wir können die Villa nur weiterempfehlen. Wir werden sicherlich auch noch einmal wiederkommen. Ein dickes Dankeschön an die netten Vermieter. ##### Stefanie S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### James B. 5 Jul 2018 #### Wonderful villa Just got back from an absolutely wonderful time in Bali and the villa. The villa itself is perfect for a couple who want to get away and relax with some peace and quiet. It’s simply perfect. A great size, Beautifully maintained and well kitted out with all amenities you could need. The owners stayed in constant contact with us on our arrival so the could meet us and give us the tour. We were greeted with open arms and provided with a welcome basket of bread, fruit and wine and a few other essentials. Like tea and milk. We even got a top up mid week with some local cakes and a big bunch of fresh courgettes and tomatoes. which we turned in to a ratatouille and had for lunch. We couldn’t have asked for mor gracious hosts. We spent most days round the pool with in the well tended to garden watching the birds and chatting in as near to total silence you could get which was heaven. The villa most certainly deserves 5 stars. I hope to come back again someday and will certainly be recommending it to my friends and family. Bail as a resort is lovely. Made up of several small beaches and teeming with tavernas and bars. The staff are so friendly and food is beautiful. We didn’t have a bad meal. Quite often if we couldn’t get a taxi back to the villa the staff or owners would give us a lift. Now that’s service. They got good tips that’s for sure. Overall it’s a fantastic place and one where I’m sure you won’t be disappointed to have visited Thank you Real dream villas and thank you Bali for making it a holiday we won’t soon forget. ##### James B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eberhard G. 25 Jun 2018 #### Sehr schön Schöne und saubere Unterkunft mit viel Ruhe.

We had such a fantastic holiday! Thank you so much! The villa was perfect and had everything we needed and it was so clean. This was our first holiday with our baby - and they even provided a high chair, travel cot, baby bath and plastic plates and spoons. The owners were great - they met us at the villa when we arrived despite only arriving close to midnight, they also brought us some local cheese pastries that our 1 year old baby loves to eat! And Valia was fantastic - she was in touch several times before our holiday and sent us lots of great recommendations of places to eat and beaches to visit. We visited several of these places and they were great. We particularly loved Episkopi beach, and the tavernas there, as well as prima plora restaurant in Rethymno. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday! ##### Sarah F.
