Stunning Villa Peaceful Location
Posted Oct. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayWe would highly recommend this villa and Nopigia as a perfect holiday destination . Ria and her daughter are wonderful hosts. A modern villa with charm and all the luxury facilities you need within metres of the beach and local restaurants. The photos are a true reflection of the actual villa itself. It’s the extra special touches that raise this villa head and shoulders above others. A generous welcome pack with fresh fruit, fridge items,local toiletries and cleaning products. A baker than delivers hot fresh bread and pastries every morning, 4 restaurants within walking distance serving home made food and freshly caught fish. A sand/pebble beach within metres, coves with large pebbles and rocks 10 minutes walk away and Balos beach and Falasarna easy to drive to, or go by ferry. The setting is very peaceful,listen to the waves and watch the sunsets from your pool or balcony in total comfort.
Thankyou Ria

Wonderful stay
Posted Jul. 27, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful time here. Location is great for having a quiet time while being just 10 minutes away from night life and action. The description and pictures are 100% accurate. The beach is pretty much in front of the house, we could see and hear it from the upper level and outside on the ground level, just as promised. The water in the sea was super clean and clear, very calm and quiet in the mornings, with nice breeze in the evenings. The pool is good to have during the hottest time of the day. The grounds and house itself are very well maintained and comfortable, with twice weekly cleaning and change of linens. Enough space in the living room or on the patio to get together (there were 6 of us) but also providing place for everyone to have some alone time. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need if you want to cook some meals yourself. Ria is an amazing host. Warm and welcoming, discreet and considerate. She helped with provisioning for the first day and brought some treats and gifts during our stay, which was an appreciated nice gesture. We stayed for two weeks and didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend!

Stunning home away from home
Posted Jun. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayThis property really is as gorgeous as the pictures on the site. Our entire crew went wow when we walked in the gate. It is spacious full of light and plenty of room for everyone to have their space.
You have a lovely view of the sea, even though the is 1 home between you and the sea.
The cafe and tavern down the street are delightful.
The beach is rocky, yet 5 feet out the sea floor is sandy.

Pamper Yourself at this amazing Villa
Posted May 30, 2024 on HomeAwayThis property has all the high-end amenities you could ask for while away from home and is conveniently located between Chania and Kissamos. You'll also be pampered with the daily delivery of fresh pastries/baked good by the local bakery (the "bread man") just outside the driveway of the property - we enjoyed having a fresh pastry while sipping our morning coffee poolside! The hostess provided excellent restaurant and local site recommendations and responded immediately to any questions we had. . . .my only regret was that we didn't stay longer! You will not be disappointed!!!

Fabulous
Posted May 8, 2024 on HomeAwayMy husband and I stayed at the beautiful Villa Posidonia last week and had a fabulous 5 day stay. The traditional stone built villa is perfect, great location, spotlessly clean and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. Set a few meters back from the beach it has amazing views of the sea and mountains and has a totally private garden with a beautiful pool, its quiet, relaxing and has the sun all day. Ria the host is so kind and helpful and made us feel extremely welcome when we arrived and had even provided provisions such as milk, fruit, orange juice and of course Raki (an acquired taste but is the local drink in Crete) for our arrival. Ria also baked for us during our stay...... we felt very spoilt. We both loved Crete and will definitely return again to stay in this wonderful villa. It was like staying with a friend, thank you Ria xx

Peaceful holiday
Posted Oct. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayThis villa is wonderful. It has everything you need & is very clean & comfortable. There are tavernas nearby you can walk to and many more nearby within a ten min drive. The owner, Ria, made us very welcome and was on hand to answer questions/advise. We would love to go back sometime.

Country idyll by the sea’s edge
Posted Oct. 13, 2019 on HomeAwayLovely, traditionally built stone villa with every comfort and right by the sea. We had a perfectly relaxing holiday, a wonderful combination of the charms of the countryside and the pleasures of the sea. Excellent restaurants a few yards down the lane, and more in Kissamos a 5 minute drive away. Thanks to Ria for her baked treats and all her hospitality.

Kissamos Villa
Posted Jul. 17, 2019 on HomeAwayWonderful villa and very kind and gracious host Ria.
We enjoyed our stay very much, and whilst we believed the home was 'first line's on the beach, this did not impact our stay.
The beach and restaurants are a minute walk away, and all amenities of Kissamos are very close.
Chania is also very accessible at about 20 minutes away.

Fantastic and relaxing break!
Posted May 31, 2019 on HomeAwayThis was definitely one of the best villas we’ve stayed at in terms of quality of finish and facilities. It’s been beautifully handcrafted and there’s everything you could need to self cater and have a relaxing break. Ria was the perfect host - greeted us on arrival and provided a welcome pack which was great after our journey. She popped in with a delicious warm cake later that week and gave us recommendations of restaurants. She also gave us a heads up on the cleaners visit - which was also a lovely bonus to have fresh sheets and towels midway through our week.
There are 3 lovely restaurants within 5 min walk. We ate at all of these and each was great.
It is 2 minutes from the main road so simple to find.
The neighbourhood is pretty quiet ... but only 5 min drive into Kissamos town with more shops, cafes, restaurants.
Our favourite thing was the local baker coming to visit the village at about 8.30 every morning. He had warm bread, biscuits, cakes - such a lovely man too!
No hesitation in recommending this property if you want a chilled out relaxing break in a quiet area of the island.
