Our stay at Villa Bellelen was absolutely perfect. Our hosts greeted us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour. They were so fantastic and provided us with a list of places to visit, things to do and restaurants to eat at. We arrived to a fully stocked kitchen including beer and wine - exactly what we wanted to get our hands on after our travels. The villa is perfection. What you see in the pictures is spot on! I visited with my partner and our families and the space was exactly what we were after. There was ample room for privacy and great spaces for us to all spend time together. The kitchen and living room are open concept which was perfect for spending time together and the outdoor dining area and BBQ was perfect for late night dinners and drinks around the pool. The villa is brand new with amazing amenities and finishings which made our vacation feel even more luxurious. The views of the sea are breathe taking, the pool and surroundings were surreal and the sun sets were out of this world. There were a total of five (5) of us staying in the villa and we all agreed we would come back again.

We were very surprised and happy to find out that we had cleaners come every other day to change our bed linens, towels and to do a quick tidy of the villa. We also had a pool boy come every two days to ensure the pool was cleaned. We literally had to do nothing other than relax and enjoy our time together.

We were happy that we had rented a car as it made getting around the island much easier and allowed to see the different areas of Crete and explore the local culture. Regardless of where you stay, we felt that a car would be needed in Agios Nikolaos.

When we left the villa our hosts provided us with a small departing gift that was local to the area.

Overall, we highly recommend this villa for a group of friends, or a family (with or without kids).

We cannot wait to go back!
