The perfect place to stay in Crete! I booked this villa as part of a surprise holiday for my partner’s 30th birthday and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we arrived we loved this place with its beautiful exterior to the interior with its cleanliness and modern design. We have stayed at lots of nice places so our benchmark is pretty high and the good news is Villa Crete does not disappoint :) It’s newly built, with lots of space and all the facilities you need. Location wise it’s about 20mins from Heraklion airport which makes it ideal after your flight in/on your way home. It’s not far from other places you should visit too (e.g. Elounda, Sisi) and a lot of the roads you’ll take to those towns are gorgeous with such nice views! I was really impressed by the hosts – Antonella and her husband Marios own this place and did an amazing job of making this stay perfect for us. From the moment I first enquired about this villa Antonella was very helpful in answering all my questions and quick with the responses. The service only got better after I made the booking. I spoke with Antonella over the phone a few times and she very kindly organised some things to make the surprise trip more special (a custom birthday cake for my partner, birthday decorations, balloons and banners in the villa, short notice check-in at 11pm after we missed our morning flight). I only paid an extra 10 euros for all of this and that was for the cake, how awesome! Thank you so much!! TOP TIP: Avoid the hassle of getting lost by using GPS coordinates to get to the Villa (Antonella will provide these and they can go straight into Google Maps or any satellite navigation unit).
