Fyllosia Villa Part of Cretan Retreat

The place is superb! Location, facilities, decoration, amenities - all top-top! What strikes is a total silence and tranquility of the place Minas is a wondeful host with a vast knowledge of the area. The places he recommended to visit and where to eat were top-notch! I would highly recommend staying in the villa

None!

Wow! What a fantastic experience we had during our 1 week stay in this beautiful home! We've been greeted(and given a full tour of the house) on our arrival by most friendly and helpful Host we've ever met. It felt very homely immedietely! The fact the house was very well equipped and stocked witrh many necessities - nearly all the toiletries and foods(succh as salt, pepper, many other dry herbs and spices, water, juice, yogurt and so on) - was one off, for sure! Some of it lasted us for nearly all our time there:-) Very generous indeed! hat was totally unexpected, therefore came as a cherry on top! Three of us( a couple and our adult son) had plenty of space in and outside of this wonderful place; two of us were working some hours online every day - WiFi is strong and consistent and office upstairs served us splendidly too:-) We did some cooking and found the kitchen fit for purpouse well. However, we did enjoy very much our walks(Yes walks) to Cato Archanes nearest village through the forest to the local tavern(25-30 minus on foot), which was fun! The food there is fantastic and very cheap! It also a family run place and very traditional, so it is a must to visit! There are a few short/medium and longer walks you can do immedietely from the property, - just ask Minas, - he is very friendly and ego to help! The sleep quality is always a tricky one if you are away... Well, this place ticked this box for us too! We slept verty well indeed! Do not be put off by the proximity of a road(which is not even busy during a day time) - we had no noise comming from it overnight at all... I can write more and more about the good things in Minas' s wonderful place but the bottom line is you have tio come here and try it for yourself! It is well worth it! If we had a question - our Host was quick to reply and, on a few occasions he even came over to help and sorted it out:-) Thank you very much for making our stay one of the most memorable we ever had!

Can not come up with any!

Excellent host, great views of Heraklion and surrounding areas. Close to Knossos and several wineries. Well furnished and maintained property.

The drive to the remote location could be a benefit.

A wonderful house - beautifully located and designed, spacious, and very well equipped. Manos is a wonderful host. His attention to detail in thinking of his guests, and their possible needs during their stay, truly stands out.

The Villa Fyllosia is in a peaceful location atop a ridge with wonderful views. The house is very large and stays true to the pictures and descriptions. Our host Minas was the best we had during our trip around Crete- very kind and helpful. The trip was to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and he provided some nice surprises to celebrate! Wonderful. We hope to return someday, and give this place our highest recommendation.

It’s a very charming Villa with beautiful furnishings and an amazing view. It is located near an old Mountain village, where you can find everything you need ( Pharmacy, Supermarket nice Taverns etc.) Minas the Owner of the Property is the most friendly, welcoming and helpful person, he showed us what Cretes Hospitality means.

One of the best accommodations that we have visited in Crete. Clean, spacious, welcoming host, beautiful landscape, nice village of Arhanes nearby. We got relaxing time and prepared our own bbq.

The villa is accessible by vehicle only as there is no public transport nearby.

Everything was perfect. The host is amazing, extremely helpful and he treated as his friends, The place was probably the cleanest and most well equipped played I ever stayed. The traditional architecture of the house is beautiful and the surrounding property was very relaxing. Highly highly recommended!

Starting with the owner, I can only say a wonderful family. After a long journey we had to the house, we found almost everything for the first days. This was more than a welcome package for us. The house is fully equipped. In the kitchen you will find everything you need to feel comfortable to cook. The villa has an extra grill house which we did not use as we were only there for a few days (we will definitely use it next time to have a grilling contest with the owner ;-) ) In this villa there are many balconies to relax and watch the sea, Herakleon and the surroundings. Behind the house there is a large garden. We could use many herbs, vegetables and fruits when they were ripe. We would like to thank Minas and his wife for our wonderful stay and will definitely return to their villa and meet them again.
