Stunning location
The villa is amazing. All amenities included, except WiFi. There is an odd request for £50 for this after we booked. The WiFi doesn’t reach upstairs. The pool and gardens are regularly maintained and are beautiful. The view is stunning. It’s an out of the way location, so peaceful but you need a car. Many beaches a short drive away. The villa is well managed and any requests were dealt with immediately. Definitely recommend a stay here for a peaceful holiday.

Pure bliss off the beaten track
Perfect view of sea and mountains off the beaten track. Bit tricky to find but well worth it. The villa had everything you need and the manager responded to queries very quickly over WhatsApp . It was lovely waking up to the sound of the sheep and goats running past with their little bells. A car is a must and there’s lots to do in surrounding areas. Such a lovely holiday

Peaceful Paradise
Such a beautiful house in very well maintained gardens with large pool. Amazing views in every direction. We completely relaxed and barely dragged ourselves away from the pool. Great BBQ facilities and everything you need for an amazing relaxing holiday. Cannot fault it.

Relaxing Holiday
If you want a quiet, relaxing, first class holiday, this is for you. Lovely, well equipped Villa, superb infinity pool, really well kept gardens and absolutely fantastic views over the bay and the mountains. You need a car as the Villa is at the end of a 900 meter dirt track but that has its advantages as there is no passing traffic except maybe the goats and sheep! There are local tavernas and mini market but if you are prepared to go a little further afield there are lots of beaches, restaurants and shops within easy reach. We had a superb holiday and would not hesitate to go back (travel restrictions allowing)

Quaint Cretan Villa with a stunning view of the sea & mountains
Our family stayed for 2wks in Aug 2021. Kefalas The location is off the beaten track, and does require driving on rocky pathway (600m) from the nearest proper road, but it's well worth it. The location is absolutely breathtaking and secluded. Villa The villa itself is compact & comfortable, adequately clean, and yes there are insects if you leave food lying around like any place in a natural habitat - we weren’t too concerned, just be disciplined to clean the kitchen after use. Recommend storage of food in jars, Tupperware or fridge. The kitchen is small, and probably could do with an overhaul. All the rooms are AC fitted. TV had issues, but do you really need it on holiday? WiFi is not super fast but adequate, so was somewhat puzzling to have to pay extra… better include it from the beginning. The villa’s main electricity operates when a plastic card is inserted into a wall socket, with the main house keys tied together, locking the main door for the evening, meant the whole villa would go dark temporarily. Moreover, we couldn’t leave the dishwasher or the washing machine running while we were out, so plan to run these immediately back on arrival. Garden During the day, as it's high up on the hills, the sea breeze is comforting against the heat. If the beach waves are a bit rough due to strong winds, the villa’s garden pool is not a bad alternative. At night, low light pollution means you benefit from the spectacle of stars/Milky Way above you! Goats roam the neighbouring olive farms so if you’re an early bird, you may hear their bells. Infinity Pool is cool and always fresh as water supply trickling in, the villa and the garden is fully landscaped and irrigated. Our visit coincided with Figs and small Oranges being ripe - so combining it with cheese, was perfect snack. BBQ hut was very useful extension to the kitchen. Owner Pon, the friendly landlord is always readily available for help. We appreciated the 'hands’-on approach whenever we needed him - from detailed directions on arrival to where to go for dinner/shopping. You can’t help but be impressed by the care he gives to his villa/garden, especially compared to the surrounding harsh landscape and terrain… it really stand out as an oasis on top of the hill. Overall, we were extremely happy with the villa - If you’re looking for a chilled out family Villa, set amongst an unspoilt Cretan countryside, but with all the modern comforts, this is definitely the place to stay!

Home needs some love, outside view and pool are lovely
A beautiful view with a great outside patio. With that being said the inside of the home was dirty and smelly. There were ants in the kitchen and while watching TV an error message kept appearing, something about the wireless adapter. All channels were in German. Again, we loved the outside pool, view and grill area but inside of the home needs some work. Owner called me the day of making reservation and asked how many people were staying. Upon answering he said he has to charge extra for additional cleaning services. I did not understand this explanation as cleaning services are already included in the cost of the rental. After researching this same home for different dates with 4 guests, the price did not change. Had the home inside been cleaner, maintained and without insects we would have been much happier with our stay.

Lovely villa
The villa is in a very beautiful place with stunning views across the bay. When we arrived it was spotlessly clean with some really nice welcoming touches. Because of the location of the villa, views from the bedroom balconies (especially the sunrise, if you're up early enough) are beautiful. The grounds around the building are well maintained with apple, grapefruit and olive trees. The villa itself is clean and well equipped with all that is needed.The infinity pool is perfect for being in and looking across the bay. The outside kitchen/barbeque is perfect for a long lazy evening. Kefalas village is only a 20 minute walk away, with bars and tavernas, a kids playground and two supermarkets. The walk through the village especially at night back to the villa is something nice. Pon, the owner is a really nice person, we had niggling concerns over the pool (there was a morning of high winds which blew some surface soil into the water, not enough to make it unusable, it just didn't look very inviting), but with one phone call it was sorted with the pool man coming around the next day. Pon even phoning back to make sure it had been cleaned. Because of the Covid restrictions nowhere was especially busy, but that in an unusual way added to its charm. We would highly recommend this villa.

crete 2020 holiday (2nd visit this year)
well maintained and presented all clean and servicable,only drawback no maid service midweek and having to take rubbish to nearest bins on main road, there was no rubbish bags for use in the kitchen or for the 2 bathrooms if every visitor purchased a roll of bags there would be hundreds of bags at the end of the year should really be supplied,you need a 4x4 to navigate the track as there is a large rock protruding in the last left hand turn towards property and as it was dark on our approach on arriving we bottomed out on it as we only has a city car.

Breathtaking views with an amazing pool and villa!
Where do I start?! We had such an amazing time at this beautiful three bedroom villa. The garden was beautiful on arrival, with fig, Apple and olive trees. The view was breathtaking, I had to pinch myself. Such an amazing setting in a remote location for true peace and quiet. Only the gentle sound of goat bells and crickets! The swimming pool is a great size, clean and lovely temperature. The children (7,5&1) were delighted to see the pool and many inflatables/toys kindly left by the owner for us when we arrived. They jumped straight in! In terms of other things that helped us as parents, was a great high chair, a proper sturdy comfortable cot and blackout shutters in all the rooms. Plastic cups and bowls and little forks for kids-could do with plastic plates too. The beds were sturdy and comfortable mattresses which make a huge difference once in holiday. Pon the owner helped us so much to enjoy the holiday, he arranged a rental car with a competitive price (with free child seats and additional driver-and no hidden costs!! ) He prepared the villa for the children with swimming pool toys, inflatables, games and even a Buggy for my 1yo! It was a bit old-but did the trick and saved us bringing one! (We carried on a beach trailer instead of buggy!) Pon responded to any queries we had and has a fantastic welcome team who would rush out to bring us things we needed, like an extra sheet or a broken item etc.... We were so impressed. When we arrived, it was late at night and we had bought a bag of Cheerios for breakfast.... but Pon has supplied a bowl of fresh fruit, long life milk, tea and coffee-which was so very thoughtful. The villa is down a windy/bumpy track-which is a little rustic-but only makes the location more special and secluded on arrival. The village is a 5 min drive away which has a couple of mini markets and two restaurants. One restaurants backs onto a park-so is ideal to relax whilst the kids play and you can watch them. Our favourite beach was Kalyves-at the far right side was a perfect location for kids as road was far away. The beach bars and tavernas are all along the beach. The water is clear and warm! We loved Almyrida beach too-far left of beach was a “baby pool” which was a shallow rock pool that the kids played in for hours-safe and sound! We loved our holiday and would highly recommend to families or to a few couples for an adult get away! Thank you to Pon-who went above and beyond!
