Incredible views with wonderful pool! Large family holiday and we loved it!!
The highlight is the view across to the peninsula. It is stunning! And there are plenty of places from which to enjoy it. Sitting in the shade by the villa, on sun loungers round the pool, in the pool or from various balconys. Location: halfway between Rethymnon and Chania make it great for airport or ferry. Short walk to Plaka (5 mins) with good supermarkets and one very good taverna and a couple of other OK ones. Slightly longer walk (15 mins) down to Almyrida with more choice of tavernas and two or three small beaches. Good taxi service back up the hill if you don't want to walk. NB. The driveway down to the villa is steep for those with walking difficulties Rooms: All great. Most with ensuite. Two rooms share a bathroom. All but one have great views across the sea and have their own balconies. The master suite is amazing with windows on all sides, a large dressing room and bathroom (with bath and shower). Perfect for us with 20+ year old 'children', their partners, parents and a grandparent. Lots of space and privacy for us all so we didn't feel we were living on top of each other Living areas: large and spacious, outside and in, with lots of places for us all to sit together or in smaller groups. Kitchen very well kitted out, with everything you could imagine to cook with (only a four ring hob, slightly surprising for such a large villa but was fine for us) Management: Alexandra responsive and Carina was v helpful day to day

Lovely stay in Plaka
We loved this property. The views of the bay, the swimming pool, and the interior design and amenities were high points. Carina was a wonderful and accessible host and resource. We love Plaka and think the home is a great starting point for expiration of Crete, especially Chania. We will return! Five stars!

Incredible villa!
We came with two families- 9 people- teenagers and young kids. The Villa is even more spectacular than the photos. So much room, everyone had their own “space” and bathrooms. Great kitchen for cooking- all the things you need. And the pool and view… remarkable. Location is ideal for having private space at the Villa, but 2 minute drive to local beaches, restaurants, and shops. Property manager is lovely- anything that came up (and it was very little), she responded immediately and handled it. 10 out of 10, highly recommend this place!

Perfect location, beautiful views, luxury
Group of 10 with 4 kids and 2 families. The villa is wonderful. Having the separate wings and 2 staircases gives each family that bit of space and makes bedtimes so much easier. Also the kitchen is the most equipped we have ever stayed at everything is there even a cocktail shaker! The views are as good as they look, in fact having the views of the Crete mountains and the bay make this truly breath taking, we never tired of it after 10 days. Thirdly the location is perfect. The villa is not overlooked, very private but Plaka center is 5 mins uphill and has a few restaurants. Next door the emerald Hotel has a great restaurant, the emerald salad is amazing, but the fish, mushrooms and prawns equally great. Even at the top of road, sunset restaurant is also fabulous, food. Much grown in their own garden, you can tell how proud they are of their delicious food. I should also add communication with Alexandra and Carina was fast and they answered all queries prior to our stay and during. Fabulous service, super clean villa. Luxury and we hope to return one day!

Excellent experience in Crete.
Everything about our stay in this beautiful villa was excellent. The views from the master bedroom were breathtaking from three different glass doors and balconies. The daytime view was of the sea and mountains and the nighttime view was of the twinkling lights from across the sea. We also all enjoyed the views from the covered outdoor seating. There was plenty of room for our large party for board games, reading or just listening to music from the provided stereo. In the home, the host provided everything we could possibly desire in amenities or just small touches. The decor of the home was stylish but also functional; and everything was spotlessly clean. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with plenty of things for use by our large party. There was a choice of outdoor or indoor seating for meals with plenty of room for everyone. The host was very helpful in arranging for transportation ( I recommend renting a car) and recommendations for restaurants and day tours. There were no problems with communication and the host was very professional and friendly. The Emerald next door is an excellent place to eat and enjoy the sea view. But I also highly recommend using the services of the cook. Sula is a delightful person and we loved her cooking. She also provided olive oil and honey that she grew and produced herself. The only small problem we had was with the WiFi. There were two routers since it is a large home but we kept having problems with one of them. The host attempted to remedy the problem but we still had trouble.
