Decentralized Administration of Crete: soggiorni in case vacanze

If you’re looking for a place to chill out with your friends or family, give this one a try. A place like this is meant to be shared with people close to you. I loved the pool, the mountain view, the quiet, the beautiful golden hour in the morning and evening, and the olive trees that surrounded us. It’s also not a long drive to the Skinakas Observatory, Rethymno, and Chania. Crete in general requires a bit more driving to explore, but it’s definitely worth it. However, most days we also just chilled by the pool, played basketball and ping pong, and enjoyed each other’s company. The location is very secluded, and we felt at home—just better. We will gladly come back here in the future.

Super maison avec très jolie piscine. Extrêmement propre et bien entretenu. Hôte à l’écoute, plusieurs provisions pour nous accueillir (fruits frais, eau, lait, café, pain, confitures, vin,…), très pratique pour une arrivée un dimanche. Environnement très calme. Juste à noter pour les familles avec un enfant en bas âge, l’escalier un peu raide dans la maison. Nous recommandons vraiment ce logement.

The villa is absolutely gorgeous. It is in a small town with no facilities (apart from a very informal cafe next door), but the quiet area was exactly what we were looking for. Yes there are some dogs etc, but not excessive, the noise is just local life in the town, which was actually really lovely. The hosts were extremely communicative, we had a few minor issues, but they were sorted in a matter of minutes! Loads of tavernas, beaches, supermarkets within a very short drive, spoilt for choice for loads of amazing food. Highly recommend a stay here, the villa, area, food and people were all fantastic.

A lovely week spent at the villa for our family holiday. The villa is a short drive from Milatos and would highly recommend the taverna No Name. A car is essential as nowhere is walkable, especially in the heat. Crete is a large island, so we were confined to the east of the island to explore. We visited Elounda, Plaka beach for snorkelling and Spinalonga, as well as the water park. The villa is comfortable, set on 3 floors. The outside space is fantastic and grounds kept beautifully. Audrey and her team were very responsive to our queries and very attentive. They were also able to assist us with car hire. Would recommend.

La maison de Manolis est superbe, tout correspond parfaitement aux photos. C’est un endroit paisible et dans lequel on veut rester longtemps. Manolis est également un hôte très réactif et très bien organisé. Je recommande très fortement !!

We had a super time with Stefani and Antonis. The villa is super, the pool was warm, the area quiet, and the view down to Herssonios and out right to the mountains was lovely. We chose it because it was walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The village is lovely and a short 5-10min walk from the villa. We were at the very end of the season, so many of the restaurants in the village closed, but we always found somewhere to eat. Herssonios is a longer walk away (maybe 30 mins) and has supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants galore, even after the season ended. We found the walk downhill to the town, and back uphill to the village fine, even with 2 kids. Herssonios itself didn’t hold much charm for us, but we found a taxi to Agios Nikolas (delightful), Heraklion’s museum (more engaging for us than the Athens archeological museum), and Rethimno (lovely old town, laneway cafes, long stretch of beach) filled enough of our days. And with a heated pool to return to, no complaints.

Eine Perle und ein schöner Rückzugsort im Süden von Kreta. Die Villa verfügt über alles was das Herz begehrt, ein wunderschöne Aussicht, Pool und eine moderne Küche, die jedes Herz eines Hobby Kochs höher schlagen lässt. Das morgen und abendliche Bad im Pool mit der Aussicht werde ich vermissen. Da es fast keine Lichtverschmutzung hat, sieht man ein Sternenschauspiel und die Milchstrasse von blossem Auge. Einsame Strände sind mit dem Auto innert 30 Minuten sehr gut erreichen, somit ist ein Auto sehr empfehlenswert. Muss kein SUV sein. Sam ist jederzeit erreichbar und kommuniziert sehr schnell. Desweiteren steht er oder Lefteris mit Tips und Ratschlägen jederzeit zur Seite. Sam und Anel sind mehr als Super-Hosts und ich kann ihr Villa zu 200% empfehlen.

Es war ein sehr sehr schöner Urlaub, wir konnten uns in dem schönen Haus super erholen die Aussicht war atemberaubend. Wenn wir Hilfe benötigten war immer jemand zu erreichen. Antworten kamen immer sehr schnell. Vielen Dank und wir kommen gerne wieder.☺️

Very private, no noise from neighbors. We hardly heard any noise from the traffic as the apartment is not directly on the road. We stayed for a week and spent much time on the incredible balcony: you can always find a space in the shade there. We loved the Galini beach nearby. only downside is that you have to walk for 200 meters along the road, as there is no footpath. There is a private beach closer by, but not everyone will be willing to climb down. It's doable for most people, but it is no walk in the park. If you like solitude, or if the Galini beach is too crowded, then certainly try to go the private beach. The WiFi in the apartment and on the balcony is good enough to stream video to one laptop. We had a tremendous time and certainly will come back some time in the future

Une charmante petite maison avec vue sur la mer ! Un petit endroit tranquille pour visiter le nord ouest de l’île. Nous avons bénéficié d’excellents conseils de visites et de restaurants. La maison est à quelques minutes en voiture d’un grand supermarché. Nous recommandons fortement !

Das Domizil liegt ganz oben auf dem Hügel und man hat einen tollen Blick auf Sitia und den Strand. Die Anfahrt ist spannend, da sehr steil, aber macht Spaß. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohl gefühlt. Danke für die neue Kommunikation.

Appartamento ben ristrutturato, molto spazioso e con ogni comfort a disposizione degli ospiti. Una bellissima terrazza vista mare dove poter ammirare il tramonto e un giardino curatissimo lo rendono veramente speciale. Vaia, Nikolas e l’intera famiglia si sono dimostrati da subito disponibili ed ospitali, li ricordiamo con affetto e simpatia.

The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

Traveled off season to this lovely house just outside a wonderful, walkable town. Our GPS sent us to the wrong location but Karolos was responsive and helped us find the house. We loved the deck overlooking the beach and sea. There was some pre-season maintenance happening that blocked our access via the house path to the beach but we found another way to access it. We also had a very friendly cat who visited us daily for attention. We loved Aigos Nikolas and would return again!

“Machil empfing uns mit Getränken und Essen, erklärte uns alles und erzählte uns ein wenig über die Besonderheiten des Ortes. Von Anfang an war er sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Jeden Tag nutzten wir den Whirlpool, und er war immer pünktlich. Der Ort ist wunderschön und sehr nah an Chania. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank, Fabrika Baladakis!”

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans l'appartement. très bel environnement, calme, paisible. proche d'Elafonissi ainsi que d'autres endroits beaucoup plus calmes. Un endroit authentique, nous recommandons !!

Sometimes it’s such a cliché to say “the photos did not do it justice “ but this is one of those rare occasions when it really does apply.. The Villa Tile is the perfect place for a couple or small family and has everything within a few metres.. the beach literally is on you back door step, next door is a beach bar with a pool which you are welcome to use. The hosts went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us during our stay, even undertaking some emergency sewing and pillow adjustments when we said that the pillows were a little too firm for our liking… We are already planning to come back in May 2025 and hope to use the Villa Tile again.

Wir haben uns in dem steinernen, kleinen Sommerhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. Der von einem alten Weinstock überdachte Innenhof hat uns begeistert. Abends konnte man ihn gemütlich und schön beleuchteten. Gefreut hat uns, dass in der Küche alle notwendigen Gewürze vorhanden waren und zur Begrüßung eine Flasche Rotwein auf dem Tisch stand. Die Lage in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße aber dennoch nur 2 Minuten zu Fuß vom Strand und vom alten Dorfkern Kolumbarys ist ideal. Die Übergabe und die Kommunikation mit Dimitrios war sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft gerne weiter! We felt very comfortable in the small stone summer house. The courtyard covered by an old vine was very charming. In the evening, it was cozy and beautifully lit. We were pleased that all the necessary spices were available in the kitchen and a bottle of red wine was on the table to welcome us. The location in a quiet side street but still only a 2 minutes walk from the beach and the old village center of Kol

From the moment we booked to the moment we left we had an excellent experience. Giorgos is very responsive. We arrived to find the apartment was exactly as the photographs. The added bonus we found is that there is air conditioning in both of the bigger rooms, the washing machine is a bonus with plenty of space to dry clothes. The pool area is amazing with plenty of room in the pool to play volleyball and space to sunbathe or sit under some shade. We loved it as much in the daytime as in the evenings. The location is so peaceful with local beaches in easy walking distance. The sea is clear but water shoes help. Excellent masseuse nearby. We walked 15 mins to Gramvousa restaurant and others nearby. We enjoyed Breeze in Kissamos. We went to Balos via car (road can be seen from the balcony) and it was amazing though the walk back up was tough in heat. We loved Elafonisi beach and enjoyed the sunset there. We also enjoyed what Chania had to offer. We would recommend this place 100% to all

Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien, modern en ruim, maar toch heel gezellig en romantisch. Prettig bed van 160x200cm. Stevig matras. Wij zijn lange mensen van 1.80m en 1.96m en sliepen goed. Het is heel stil in de omgeving en de slaapkamer. De buitenruimtes zijn prettig, er is altijd een plek te vinden in de zon, of juist in de schaduw, of uit de wind. Het was twee dagen koud, 12 graden, toen hebben wij de open haard gebruikt, ook comfortabel. De douche en warm water is goed. Wasmachine goed. De keuken is erg compleet, er is meer servies en benodigdheden dan ik thuis heb. Je zou uitgebreid kunnen koken en zelfs een taart kunnen bakken. Het is een heel rustige omgeving. In Sitia zijn meerdere erg goede restaurants. Er zijn weinig bezienswaardigheden in de buurt, maar wij houden van natuur, wandelen en rust. Andere leuke dorpen zijn minimaal 1,5-2,5 uur rijden vanwege de berg wegen. Zowel de eigenaar als verhuurder waren vriendelijk en reageerden snel op vragen.

Un grand merci à Konstantinos pour notre séjour en Crète. Le logement est tout simplement génial, avec une piscine offrant une vue imprenable sur les montagnes, un véritable atout pour des moments de détente inoubliables. Le village où se trouve la maison est également très accueillant, nous recommandons vivement la taverne à l’entrée du village pour ses délicieuses spécialités. Nous avons également été ravis par l’attention de Konstantinos, qui nous a gâtés avec un frigo rempli de fruits frais, de pots de confiture maison délicieux et, bien entendu, du Raki. Tout cela a grandement contribué à rendre notre séjour idyllique. Encore merci pour tout. Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de cette expérience.

Super Lage , direkt am Strand und viele Möglichkeiten in der Nähe essen und shoppen zu gehen. Die Dachterrasse ist der Hammer! Super Ausblick und perfekter Ort zu essen , chillen oder den Whirlpool zu nutzen. Die Kommunikation war überragend , immer schnell und mit vielen nützlichen Tipps. Eine tolle Überraschung hat uns direkt zu Beginn erwartet. Die Kinder haben sich sofort über die leckeren Kekse und das leckere Obst hergemacht. Wir haben uns direkt wie zu Hause gefühlt. Top Empfehlung !

Meine Freundin und ich hatten wirklich eine tolle Zeit in Sellia. In der Unterkunft ist wirklich alles vorhanden, was es für einen tollen Urlaub braucht. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Ausstattung der Küche, es gab sogar gutes Olivenöl und Raki des Hauses zur freien Verfügung. Wir haben wirklich gut kochen können dort. In der Umgebung gibt es mehrere gute Restaurants und der Supermarkt des Dorfes ist gleich um die Ecke. Die umliegenden Strände erreicht man, wie auf Kreta üblich, am besten mit dem Auto. Insgesamt war es ein wirklich toller Urlaub, danke an Christos und Joanna.

A little gem in the quiet village of Stavros. Ideal for couples who want to relax in a peaceful environment. The beautiful little house is ideally situated, in a quiet neighbourhood and within walking distance from a number of restaurants, supermarkets and the famous Zorba Beach. George has made excellent use of the space in the house, which is modern and spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The real wow factor is the outside space. A large private terrace with comfortable furniture, high quality sun loungers and of course our own, private pool. George is very friendly and is always available should you need any assistance with anything. A super host and we highly recommend this lovely house. Fabulous!
