Ekaterini Vip Villa

The location is wonderful - you definitely need a car. The view into Souza bay is spectacular. The house is comfortable clean and well thought through. The food on arrival was amazing and totally unexpected. We look forward to coming back…

Ekaterina villa stay. The villa views were outstanding.the location was perfect. We didn't expect our first night there,to be greeted by the family owners,who had laid on exceptional food for us.it was a lovely gesture.We would like to thank them,for their hospitality and looking after us as well.we had a great relaxing week in the villa.we would definitely,be looking to stay in this fantastic villa again.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like about our stay.

La qualité de l’accueil est exceptionnelle: Aggeliki et sa famille sont aux petits soins. La villa est très belle, nous avons passé 2 semaines formidables (groupe de 9 adultes). Les terrasses et la grandeur de la maison permettent de vivre ensemble tout en préservant des moments de tranquillité à chacun en fonction de ses envies. La vue sur la mer est un spectacle dont on ne se lasse pas. Merci

2 lits d’appoint n’étaient pas très confortables.

Hosts were really helpful, very welcoming and provided a great service!

Superb villa in a great location, Crete is a lovely island. The villa garden and terraces wrap around the villa, so always able to stay outside in beautiful, private outdoor space with amazing 360 degree views. Sun loungers are very comfortable! Owners went out of their way to welcome us with lovely food and wine that fed us for the first 2 days! Facilities inside are spacious and immaculate. Pool is great and well kept. Lemons from trees in garden taste great! Location is very private and quiet, but only 35mins drive from Chania in hire car. 5 mins walk downhill to good local shop, 10 mins walk back uphill 😅

Didn't have an egg cup for my boiled eggs 😄 - I was able to improvise. It is easily the best villa I have stayed in out of probably over 50 in the Mediterranean area over the years.

Fantastic pool and outside area. Great open plan lounge/diner/kitchen with a further downstairs lounge/diner/kitchen and bedroom for the kids to take over. Two big bedrooms on the top floor with loads of storage. Very peaceful area, no pumping music, no neighbours, bliss! We got welcome food, drinks in the fridge and further cakes too. Toiletries provided which is a bonus and very friendly owners.

Definitely need a car to get to decent restaurants. You can feel the springs through the mattresses, nothing a decent mattress topper wouldn’t fix, the pillows were fantastic though. Great sun loungers but the toppers were not very comfy. Didn’t change the holiday one bit, just a couple of suggestions really to make it more luxe.

The property had beautiful views of the gorge and sea. It has plenty of space and is well looked after and clean. The people who look after the villa are fabulous. We really appreciated the home cooked snacks and all the provisions left for us when we arrived.

It is a bit of a walk to Almyrida so would advise a car. Plaka, however, is walkable and has nice restaurants.

Spectacular views, spacious and luxurious

The location was superb. It had fabulous views over the valley and to the sea beyond.

Everything about the property was superb. It was quite a steep hike down to the nearest shop and a 20 minute walk to the bustling seaside town of Almyrida. As an older person it meant driving to the village each evening.

Very nice to meet the hosts, who showed us around the spacious villa, chatted about what was closeby to visit, and provided us with a delicious and very welcome greek meal with a bottle of wine. On cleaning days, a cake or homemade pastry would be left which was a lovely surprise! Small toiletries were provided in each bathroom which was a nice touch. Air conditioning in each room was very much needed after spending time outside in the 34-degree heat of the day. The infinity pool is gorgeous with stunning views out to sea, and the huge mountain to the side of the property. There is a beautiful peach tree outside the kitchen with ripe juicy peaches you can pick for breakfast or as a snack. Plaka village is walkable (about a kilometre) and we can recommend Elpis and Takis tavernas with brilliant food and service. Almyrida village is just over 2km walk away with more bars, tavernas, shops and the beach. Would recommend renting a car to visit Chania (45mins drive) and further afield like Lake Kournas.

TV volume needs to be adjusted as was too low to hear. The basement could do with modernising and brighter lighting in bathroom.
