Location is perfect, near Plaka Beach and Aios. Lots of rooms and different spaces for a large family. Great pool and garden area. Surrouned by nature, located in a very small traditional village. We really loved the villa. Was perfect for the kids and us. Also great value for money.

Lots of steep stairs. For us it was fine, but for older people and young children it could be problematic. One of the 5 bedrooms doesn't have an AC.

"Traditional property in need of an update but great location for a village experience and the pool area is fantastic."

8.0

The pool and garden area is fantastic and the size of the property is great. We enjoyed the gardens and the terraces as they get the sun all day. The pool is regularly maintained so is a fantastic place to cool off. Parking is easy and the village has a fantastic cafe with the loveliest owners serving authentic local dishes.

The villa is old which is fine and authentic but it was not very clean (we had to cleans out the fridges) and felt tired - it is in desperate need of a refurbishment. The kitchen is tiny and with only one restaurant in walking distance you need a bigger kitchen unless you plan to drive out to eat everyday. The beds are old and uncomfortable so could do with updating. The bathrooms are ok but the shower in one of the bathrooms has no hook so you can’t really use comfortably. It’s definitely a property you want to just sleep and then spend all your time outside.

"A hidden gem."

10.0

Loved this traditional Cretan villa tucked in the hills at the back of Plaka. So peaceful and the view of the sea and the olive trees is beautiful. The pool was an added bonus as it was hot and the shade of the trees perfect. The villa was very traditional so had lots of character. The village is quiet with a lovely taverna serving delicious food. The host, Nikos, responded promptly and access to the property was easy. For a different and quiet getaway would highly recommend this villa.

Lovely town with some lovely tavernas. The swimming pool is great and the apartment is beautiful. Very relaxing. Alongside the taverna recommended, which was great, is also a small one on the way, which was a delightful alternative with some glorious local food. If you like the sort of place that just feeds you what they have then well worth a visit also.
