Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Elin 2 Aug 2023 #### A beautiful and peaceful place with kind people and the sea very close Location, pool, to have free umbrella and chairs and sea very close. Very friendly staff, a pleasure to meet them. We had some problems in the house (like water from the wc), but not solved during our 15-days stay. Useful to explain that cleaning is every day, but not in detail. Useful to describe what is available in the house in the kitchen (for example oil, salt, etc.). Put a shower or something to clean sand after the beach near the pool. :) ##### Laura Elin This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 29 Aug 2022 #### Amazing hidden Jewel We visited in august you drive down the narrow road , and come to an electric gate the keys We’re as promised in the key safe, the gate opens and WOW! 6 immaculately kept villas, beautiful modern and clean. We were well looked after by Nikos,George and Katerina nothing was too much trouble. The villas are modern comfortable and cater for your every need they are serviced daily as is the pool, there’s covered parking and if you walk up the path your on a beautiful beach with a taverna, sun beds and umbrellas which you have use of for free. If you walk back up the road there’s a variety of restaurants, shops and bars with a lovely atmosphere. All the facilities are of a very high standard, the outside area has a lounge set, large table and chairs sun beds and umbrellas the pools clean and the patio area is perfect., We we’re in villa 3 and it’s very private, an amazing place to relax chill out and enjoy the Greek sunshine and hospitality. I’d recommend this villa too family and friends. The villas would be ideal for an extended family. It’s A huge thumbs up from us we had the most wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate in returning again. Thank you for an amazing holiday. Nothing maybe a safe for valuables it was perfect. ##### Robert This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin 17 Jun 2025 #### Wunderbarer Urlaub mit der Familie Es ist einfach wunderbar hier.

I stayed at villa 3 with my wife and children and had an amazing time., The villas are modern clean and absolutely fantastic. The road to the villa is slightly tight however once you get to the gated area it opens into a a spacious driveway (keys were in the key safe as per the instructions). Every villa has covered parking and it’s very private and secure.. Nikos George and Katerina looked after us superbly catering for our every need they were all so friendly and accommodating. The pools is cleaned daily, the apartment looked immaculate every day when we returned. (It’s cleaned daily even though it ate every other day and our beds were made) you don’t need a car you can walk up the road to a variety of restaurants and shops ( it isn’t at all rowdy) your 10 minutes from Rethymno, and an hour by car to Heraklion and Chania. The beach is shingle and there are beds and umbrella's and a Taverna. The Villa is very private, the pool area is fantastic with beds umbrellas, table and chairs and a lounge set. The hotel next door didn’t interfere with us in the slightest noise wise. A fantastic oasis on the beach a truly enjoyable and fantastic place to stay we will be returning we loved it. ##### Robert M.

Location amazing. Super easy to get around even without a car. Some things were not working properly from the begining so a check before of all appliances would be good.
