Villa Rokka was a truly wonderful base for our family holiday in West Crete. The location is exceptional - amazing views across the Rokka Gorge, and the sounds of nature all around. The villa is modern and spotlessly clean - with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including excellent WiFi, AC and comfortable beds. The outdoor space is exceptional, with a beautiful pool, spa area and jacuzzi, alongside a pizza oven and bbq. The villa is a short drive to local shops, bakery and amenities, with the main town of Kissamos just a 15 min drive away.
Without doubt, the most special thing about Villa Rokka is its hosts, Manolis and Poppy. We we’re greeted on arrival with a fully stocked fridge and other thoughtful gifts and a full briefing on the local area and things to see and do. Manolis and Poppy kindly arranged pizza making evenings at the Villa - and made the best pizza we’ve ever tasted, including a special souvlaki pizza and a chocolate and banana pizza which our toddler keeps talking about! Poppy also kindly prepared a moussaka for us which was delicious!
They were kind, generous, humble and attentive hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They are genuinely the very best example of AirBnB hosting I’ve ever experienced and made our stay truly memorable. We felt very lucky to be hosted by them - and wish them deserved success as they continue to develop their vision for Villa Rokka.
Don’t hesitate to book this exceptional villa - it’s amazing. Thank you Manolis and Poppy - we hope to return again in the future!
