I can’t begin to explain how fantastic our stay at Villa Rokka was! Manolis and Poppy define the words “above and beyond” as hosts. If you are staying in Crete, this is a must book. We had a flight delay that caused us to miss our rental car pickup from Chania, and Manolis and Poppy drove the 55 minutes to the airport to pick us up at 1 am. The Villa is beautiful, the view of the pool, Rokka Gorge and wildlife is fabulous! The Villa is wonderful on the inside as well.
Manolis and Poppy recommend so many wonderful local spots and were also very helpful when we wanted to book activities and rentals away from the property. Manolis called ahead for us to be able to snag the last ATV a company had left for our trip to Balos beach (which we definitely recommend over a car for a day trip to balos).
Manolis and Poppy take so much pride in their property and the care they take of their guests. We had read previous reviews of their famous wood grilled pizzas and mentioned it to them. On our last night they treated us to a fabulous pizza feast! We have never eaten so much pizza in our lives and wish we could have eaten more. Anything we needed Manolis responded within minutes to any questions or concerns we had. We hope to return to Crete and when we do, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
