Avis 4 bed villa private pool sleeps 8-10 - Local Taverna. Great sea, mountain views.

Villa avec tout le nécessaire, vue magnifique sur les montagnes et la mer. Confortable. Manque peut être d'une glaciaire pour les picnics sur la plage avec cette chaleur. Piscine top sauf l'escalier en carrelage un peu glissant. Hôte au top Nous avons passé un super séjour entre amis. Le fait d'avoir deux maisons en une à été très apprécié pour l'intimité des deux familles. Nous recommandons fortement

A great experience in an idyllic place! The owner is always ready to listen and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. Thanks Lisa!

Mooi villa, prachtig uitzicht. Steile klim met de auto naar de villa. We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf alles was goed geregeld met de eigenaar. Zeker een aanrader.

We have had a great time staying in the villa. We loved the quiet surroundings, the view and the comfort of the villa. Our kids stayed on the ground floor and we stayed on the first. The information about the villa was good and the e-mails from the owner helpfull. The GPS coordinates helped us to find the villa in the dark. It was a pitty that we could not reply via Vrbo.

Great place for families/friends who appreciate peacefull time while enjoying fret views and villa's facilities

We hade a greate time. The apartment was lovely and the wievs as well.

Die Villa ist sauber, geräumig und hat alles was man braucht. Vor allem der tolle Pool sowie die traumhafte Aussicht sind absolute Pluspunkte. Restaurants/Imbisse sind sehr nah, ein Lidl ist ca. 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt, bis nach Rethymno sind es etwa 15 Minuten. Einzig am WLAN könnte man noch etwas verbessern (in der unteren Wohnung war ein schwaches bis gar kein Signal), aber man will im Urlaub ja sowieso andere Dinge tun als vorm Handy/TV zu hängen

Die Villa hat eine Top Lage wie ein Vogelnest in den Bergen, mit weitem Blick auf das Meer und sanfter Brise bei heißem Wetter. Allerdings ist ein Auto unabdingbar, und die äußerst steile Anfahrt etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Eine etwas detailliertere Anfahrtsbescheibung wäre wg. der abenteuerlichen Wege sinnvoll,

Wunderschöne Aussicht, die Kinder haben den Pool geliebt, Lisa war eine tolle Gastgeberin.

This villa gives you the best of both worlds. As it nestles high up the mountain side you do need a car and the drive up is very steep, but the views and the peaceful setting are worth it when you get there. However, you are also only a 10 minute ride away from the resort of Plantania, with a lovely beach, shops and tavernas. If you want to enjoy the bustling nightlife and a jug or two of sangria you can get a taxi into Plantania for just 10 euros. The Greek night at the White Lady is an absolute must. Not only do you get to watch traditional Greek dancing but you get to join in! As the villa is located almost in the middle of the north side of the island it is ideally placed as a base for exploring the whole island. The fascinating island of Spinalonga is a 2.25 hour drive to the east, Elafonisi, a paradise beach with a clear lagoon and pink sand is the same distance to the west and the magnificent Samarian Gorge on the south side is only 1.5 hours away. There's much much more to see and do and we left all the leaflets we picked up for future holiday makers to browse through. Our stay was made even more enjoyable by the friendly neighbours. Trevor looks after the villa for the owners and popped round to check all was ok. He answered any questions we had and would have come round if there was anything we needed sorting out (which we didn't). The next door neighbour was also English and she was particularly helpful - she even came round to see if we wanted to order a take away as they were having one! The owners themselves will also answer any questions you have and are very prompt in doing so, whether you are contacting them from the uk or whilst you are in Crete. The only recommendation I would make is that it would be nice to have a 'welcome pack'. We arrived at 1.30am in the morning having not eaten or drunk since 3pm on the plane and we would have appreciated a bottle of water in the fridge or some sachets of coffee and some biscuits etc. to tide us over until we could get to the supermarket the following day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Crete and in villa Alexandra and would recommend the villa to others.
