Cretan Dream Villa

The property and location are stunning, it felt like a fairytale in the hills of Crete. The villa a beautiful full size house on a large property located 5 minutes from town. It’s up a hill in an olive orchard overlooking the cute little beach town of Georgioupoli. The main attraction of the villa is the large heated pool, with spectacular views of hills and the sea. My kids could have played in the pool for the entire time at this location. The tile work around the pool makes it feel like a boutique resort. The house was lovely and had all the amenities necessary to eat meals in if necessary. The hosts even provided fresh eggs and cake from their farm for free. There were 5 bedrooms in the villa and We loved running into town and having meals and drinks at the beach. It is a renovated older farm. It feels warm and cozy. The Greek people are so friendly and welcoming. The hosts are a lovely family who own a farm in the area. The older kids take turns helping out the management. They are attentive and helpful, offering advice for restaurants and day trips. Overall this vacation rental is one of the best, my family of five has ever stayed in and I would highly recommend this location.

Only some minor things. - the droning sound of locusts in the olive orchard, not really an issue but, to be aware. - a steep hill to ascent up to the house may be difficult for some inexperienced drivers. - the master bathroom is smaller. And beds are foam mattresses and box frames.

Excellent location and a beautiful house. The sea views are wonderful and the hosts are always on hand for any questions.

The pool is not heated and as we were there early in the season it was very cold!

It was beautiful, reallly spacious and had everything we needed. The pool and tables outside were perfect!

We loved it all!

Beautiful pool area, lovely spacious property, great views, close to small costal town with lots of amenities, great hosts

The property would benefit from an extra bathroom. Also neighbours quite sensitive to late night noise (post 2300)

The location was perfect, it is tucked away in the countryside but close enough to be able to walk to the village and its shops/restaurants. Amazing views, big pool that easily fit all 15 of us, fresh eggs and cake on arrival, and the warmest of welcomes from the owners. We have made some very special memories with our family

Having to come home :(

Loved the villa, plenty of outside areas for a large group. Beautiful views. Fantastic value for money. A lovely cake and fresh eggs on arrival.

Everyday the owners or people arrived. Made us feel like we were being watched and slightly uncomfortable. A little too full on.
