Wave Villa is absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed a wonderful 2 week stay there for my mom’s 70th birthday. The house looks exactly like the photos and the finishings are all very high quality (altho it is a bit farther from the water than we anticipated-maybe 200m from the coast). It also still looks very new and well maintained.
The house is well laid out so that all 6 bedrooms have private balconies and 4 of the six have gorgeous ocean views. There is beautiful indoor and outdoor common space/sitting areas to relax in the sun or the shade.
We had gorgeous weather everyday and only saw a few clouds in 2 weeks, so August/September are great times to go.
It is special to have its own little private beach, although we enjoyed the pool so much we didn’t even use it often.
It is about a 15 minute walk into a very cute little town, Panormos, so we walked there for dinners most nights at local tavernas with great food at reasonable prices and pretty views over the harbor.
The hosts Valia and Dimitris were very responsive to our needs and sent us lots of info before we came about things to do in the area, although the house was so great we spent most of our time just relaxing there. It was my mom’s birthday while we were there and they delivered a delicious cake to the house for us.
Also the owners came and met us twice to personally make sure we were enjoying our stay which was very kind. They even cooked us a DELICIOUS vegetarian Greek meal one night which we enjoyed for many days. Very generous to go so above and beyond!
Overall, we had a wonderful time and highly recommend it to others looking for a relaxing and beautiful hideaway in Crete!
