Beachfront Linum Escape Retreat with a Heated Pool

This property and our experience was absolutely fantastic. Strongly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxury house in Crete. Starting off - the hosts met us at the property when we arrived (just gave them a heads up when we were 30min away). They showed us around the house, and then were available throughout the stay via Whatsapp to provide advice / recommendations that we may have wanted during our stay. They also left us the most amazing groceries for our arrival, which was so thoughtful and made our settling in (we arrived fairly late) so much easier. The pool was as beautiful as the pictures. Very relaxing overlooking the sea. The outdoor grill and table was great - we BBQ'd and sat outside most evenings. Inside is brand new and gorgeously appointed. Very architecturally and well designed. The property was very clean and had everything you needed to have a great stay, including some outdoor speakers to provide some nice vibey music whilst we were in the pool or BBQing. The location is close to Agios Nikolaos (5-10min drive), so very easy to pop into town to explore, get food / groceries, and we also did a yacht trip from the port one day. Very easy to get to. All in all, we LOVED our stay here. It was the perfect relaxing end to our holiday.

Nothing! Loved it and would stay again.

The location is fantastic and the villa has everything you need. The host hasn’t compromised on quality either — the linens are soft, the beds are comfortable, the curtains are black out, the appliances are brand new — and she stocked the kitchen cupboards with all the basic needs! On top of it, she was incredibly warm and helpful, and was always available to answer questions. The villa is much closer to the beach than it looks in the pictures. It’s literally a stones throw away. The only thing we’d call out is that the attic room is what it appears to be in the photos, it has a really low ceiling and isn’t ideal for adults but it’s fine for teenagers. Younger kids will need to be careful of the open staircase. We have two kids (ages 2 and 4) and we managed just fine but it’s worth mentioning. Despite the third room, if we were to return to Crete, we’d definitely book this villa again.
