Great villa,beautiful views
The property was great, and loved it being all solar powered. I agree with other reviewer the road is a little precarious to drive up. Pool was perfect for very hot days. Also I think the village details need to be updated, there are now only 2 tavernas, no mini mart and no cafes. It's a 20 min walk downhill and 25 back up the hill. Great stay!!

Great view and home
We chose this spot for the pool and view. It did not disappoint. Our kids loved swimming after a day at the beach and we enjoyed the views over dinner. The drive to the house is a bit precarious but we got the hang of it after the first trip up. The local restaurants down the hill are also wonderful. You will need a car but we had planned to have one for excursions.

Lovely stay!
Myself and 3 friends had a lovely time staying here - Manolis and his wife where amazing hosts, they cooked us a full meal for when we arrived and had the fridge stocked with water, beer, wine and even fresh orange juice they squeezed for us!! The villa is beautiful - the only thing to note is that there is not a proper over the head shower inside, just a hand held one, but we managed non the less! I would highly recommend staying here, I wish I was still there eating breakfast on the lovely terrace looking out till at the stunning views. Thank you Manolis & Natali XX

A truly special place
The villa and it's location are so special, just beautiful, and built with passion! The views are incredible, beautiful pool, cool inside the villa and plenty of space. Our hosts Manolis and Natalia, were incredibly generous and kind. Amazing beaches close by (via hire car). Our teenage boys just loved it. We cannot wait to come back! Efhariso.

It was a great stay
When we arrived to villa we been amazed by the view fom it. We were able to see white mountains from one side and sea on the another. We been greeted with basket or fresh fruits and soft drinks. Upon arrival to Crete it was a bit cold therefore we been enjoying amaizing fireplace in villa every evening, thanks to Manolis there is plenty firewood available. We were 5 of us staying, but villa can fit 8 persons easily. By the end of stay in Crete weather became very warm even hot, but we couldn't use a pool due to winter floods as a villa is completely self-contained (eco villa), there are solar powered batterys and stream water avaliable only.

Quiet location. Good for family.
We enjoyed having no close neighbours and our 7 year old proper enjoyed the pool every morning! The owners, Manolis and Natalia were helpful and we had plenty of contact with them in case of any issues (though we had none). Only downside worth considering is that you do need a car, otherwise perfect destination in Crete. Beaches were only a short drive away and the beachfront had plenty of shops and eateries. Chania a half hour drive away. The villa itself had plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen (given that it is not on any mains systems - you won't get a microwave here). Plenty of clean linen was supplied including towels. We enjoyed our 2 weeks here very very much!

Very impressive villa with great views
Had a brillaint time in this villa with a group of 9 people ! We had a great time, the villa has stunning views and has a great pool with a sea view. The owner was very nice and helped us with any questions we had and even took time out of his day to bring us water and check up on us! Great hospitality and would definitely recommend Jack

Good property, bit of a treck to get there but soon got use to that, nice and quiet, great veiws.
Had a great time, we know Crete quite well so to be high in the hills was perfect for us, we could drive wherever, villa clean, sheets and towels like new, very quite and private during the days, and we'd travel into Chania on the nights. Few little teething issues with which the owner sorted out straight away.

Swimmingpool schmutzig
Sehr schöne Lage, tolle Aussicht, leider keine Klimaanlage, Swimmingpool war nicht benutzbar, da er sich grün verfärbte. Die Küche hatte nicht mal 4 Esslöffel, für ein Haus mit 6 Betten. Ausstattung sehr mangelhaft.

In our description we tell in detail about this special house of ours! 100% bioclimatic, bioenergetic and as ecological as possible! We make special mention of the bioclimatic and the air conditioning, and the existence of fans! In previous measurements, we always managed to have the indoor temperature 7 degrees Celsius lower than the outdoor temperature, which is also the ideal air conditioning! I visited the house on the 3rd day of their stay and no complaints were reported to me. During the general check I did, indeed the pool water had an initial cloudiness, I cleaned it and asked them if they want me to add chlorine! For pure ecological reasons we use low chlorination tablets, we renew the water regularly and every 40-50 days we replace ALL the water with new! The necessary things for the kitchen (plates, glasses, knives, forks, etc.) are more than twice as many as the guests! Since there were 4 spoons, as many as the specific customers! So they were able to ... eat their summer soup! They took care of our house, and thank you!I think for the compared customers it was not a good choice for our quirky house and more so for a short term rental!!!!!!

Rustikaler, abenteuerlicher sehr schöner Urlaub
Die Lage der Villa war, bis auf den etwas abenteuerlichen Anfahrtsweg, grnadios. Sehr schöne Aussicht auf Berge und Meer. Wirklich herrlich. Die Vermieter waren super lieb und hilfsbereit. Sie kamen etwa alle drei Tage vorbei um das Wasser im Pool zu kontrollieren und um das riesengroße Grundstück, mit Acocados, Zitronenbäumen, Orangenbäumen, Aloe Vera etc. zu pflegen/bewässern. Wir haben auch sämtliche frischen Früchte von Ihnen bekommen. War wirklich ganz lieb. Zusätzlich eine kleine Schulung wie man sich mit frischer Aloe Vera den Körper einreibt. War herrlich. Das Haus ist sehr rustikal. Wem kleinere Mängel nichts ausmachen ist hier vollkommen richtig. Das Einzige womit wir uns erst ein wenig anfreunden mussten war, dass es in der Küche kein warmes Wasser gab. Aber hey, auch das ging mit Wasser kochen auf dem Herd. Wir waren im Urlaub auf einer wunderschönen Insel, an einem sehr schönen Ort und haben den Urlaub und die Ruhe in der Villa sehr genossen. Danke nochmal für alles.

Schöne Lage
Das Haus liegt eher abgelegen und sehr ruhig auf einem Bergsattel mit fantastischem Blick über Berge bis zum Meer. Die Ausstattung schien teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen, zB gab es in der Küche kein warmes Wasser, die Waschmaschine ist ausgelaufen, worum sich der nette Eigentümer schnell gekümmert hat. Wir hatten dort eine schöne Zeit.

Schönes Haus zwischen Bergen und Meer
Wer Wert auf Ruhe und Individualität legt, Natur und Ausblick mag, kein Nachtleben braucht, nette Vermieter sucht, nachhaltige Lösungen zur Energieversorgung schätzt, keine Angst vor engen Straßen hat und sich an kleinen sympathischen Unzulänglichkeiten am Haus nicht stört, liegt hier goldrichtig. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen.

Wonderful stay in Villa Antonis
We really enjoyed our stay in villa Antonis.The view was stunning and we had a short way to the nice beach in Stalos. This location is very beautiful. We had a lot of space in the villa and it was very clean. We were cordially received. The hosts were really friendly and nice. It felt like home. We really recommend this place and are looking forward to book the next trip to Villa Antonis. Thanks for everything :)

Déçu . . Prix décevant par rapport aux prestations annoncées..
Insécurité . Interrupteurs non protégés ( nous avions 4 enfants).machine à lavée inaccessible dans un lieu où fuites de la piscine. Un filet d eau dans la douche et froide. Salle de bain à l étage odeur nauséabonde. Maison très belle vu de l extérieur mais beaucoup d améliorations à prévoir.( surtout au niveau de l eau et des odeurs). Je ne la recommanderai pas à mon entourage.

We did not expect so much unfavorable criticism! When you left, you did not express these comments to us! Your observation for the transfer of the laundry machine from the pool machine room was fixed and we have already created space in the kitchen and we will carry it! For the problem of low water pressure,you complained at 22.00, but we restored it early in the next morning by buying a new pressure! Our home is a unique home, 100% bio-energy 100% bio-climatic and ecological! It is logical for extreme weather events to deal with the first two days of your stay, to require additional handling (generator operation, hot water heating with the gas water heater, economy of electricity consumption), which I am referring to in detail in our description. Please clients read all our description!.
