I stayed at Villa Kudos with my wife and two children (aged 2 and 6) for one week at the end of May 2019.
Errika was great at communicating and answering all the questions that I had prior to our arrival and sent very detailed instructions as to how to get to the property by car; they were very accurate and very helpful.
We were all struck at how beautiful the property and location was when we arrived. The property sits on a hillside and is one of only 4/5 villas. The villa itself sits high on the side of the hill with a big sheltered garden behind it and a pool and further garden/grassed area in front of it. It has amazing views of the sea!
The house was beautifully presented and the photos really don't do justice to how amazing the views were and the inside of the property.
Errika was at the property when we arrived and showed us around and how to work everything. She/her family had given us little treats including loaves of bread, jams, honey, fruits and drinks/juices in the fridge. They were much appreciated.
Throughout the stay, Errika communicated with us via airbnb messaging to ask if there was anything that was needed. Her father came to the property to tend to the garden and pool and also to bring further Cretan treats including home cooked food and home grown organic fruits; they were all delicious.
The house itself is newly built and has all the amenities that you want inside. The kitchen has an array of coffee makers, juicer, knives, cutlery, crockery and condiments, spices etc. The sitting area is comfortable and has a large smart TV with a variety of channels and netflix also present.
The bedrooms are all individually and tastefully decorated and are all air conditioned. There are a total of 4 toilet/shower rooms with one in the basement next to the gym, one on the ground floor and 2 on the upper level.
The outside of the property is well tended to with an array of flowers, shrubery, growing herbs etc. There is also a hammock and child's rope swing which are children loved.
There are two outside seating areas to the property. The pool has an area around it with sun loungers and a separate dining table with chairs. However, my personal favourite was the seating area outside the property on the first floor. Although slightly overlooked by a neighbouring villa, it was a quiet and cool area where one can sit and not feel disturbed.
We could not have asked for more from our stay and the hospitality of Errika and her family. It felt a very safe area, being on the hillside and having an electric remote gate to the property.
We would love to go back when we next visit Crete
Thank you Errika and family!
