This house is AMAZING. AMAZING.
We were a group of four ladies traveling together and wanted a luxurious, spacious home in a beautiful place and safe location. We chose Crete, and Villa Sissy. We went back and forth quite a bit, unsure about the location of the home, but decided to move forward with this villa. It DID NOT disappoint.
While it looks beautiful on the site, those photos don't capture how STUNNING this house actually is. It. Is. Beautiful. They thought about every detail of the traveler's needs and the travel experience and put it all into this home. This is NOT your typical Airbnb.
The house is 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Our group was amazingly comfortable inside and in the outdoor spaces. There is a workout space with equipment upstairs before going out on the giant terrace. The backyard and pool were fantastic places to enjoy (we also did arts and crafts). Televisions are in every room, there is a fully stocked kitchen (with food and snacks!), and hangers for everything you packed. No one thinks about the tiny details - but they did in this villa. We wanted for nothing. Nothing! And we brought things we didn't need - robes, slippers, toiletries - because they were there in each bedroom.
Manos was kind and gracious, and Sissy was lovely. They fed us (!) and we felt so taken care of during our stay. We used their brains for our excursions, utilized the manual sent before arrival to book transportation and outings (the manual was detailed and fabulous). I asked tons of questions and they answered every, single one. During our stay we wanted information about different things to do and they shared great options. We did everything that was recommended (don't miss the botanical gardens and restaurant).
This home is literally a few steps from the main street. No taxi needed! We walked to stores, shopping, the spa, treats, supermarket, wine store - everywhere!
I was there with longtime friends and we travel around the globe together, and have been doing so for 28 years. We have never repeated a destination, but talked about returning to this villa - yes, it is that nice. I might even book it for a trip with my husband because it is THAT spectacular.
We didn't have any issues, problems, complaints, etc., but if we did I am certain that Manos would have addressed them in an instant.
What more can I say. If you are debating between this house and another, you will not be disappointed with Villa Sissy. No one could be disappointed in this stunning villa.
Thank you, Manos, for being such an amazing host.
