Exceeded expectations
Posted Aug. 21, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had the most wonderful time away. Helfried welcomed us and is such a kind hearted helpful man who made us feel welcome. The accommodation was clean, tidy and had great air conditioning. The pool is stunning and was very clean. The location is fantastic as it’s very quiet but only a couple of minutes drive to a friendly supermarket. Lots of lovely places to visit nearby and some great local produce at markets. This whole experience started before I got on the plane with great communication from the homeowner. Can’t wait to return!

Great location
Posted Aug. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayWonderful, spacious villa with everything we needed. Fantastic pool. A 'swimmer's'pool. It is deep but our young grandchildren loved it. Armbands essential!
Ricky and Helfried were so friendly and helpful. Can only recall one issue which was promptly dealt with.
Very quiet location but nearby town has restaurants and shops and a small beach with a shaded area.

Crete holiday
Posted Jul. 9, 2023 on HomeAwayBeautiful quiet location. Quaint village setting but larger centre with restaurants, beaches, and shops.
Property managers were welcoming and knowledgeable about the area.
We will be back.

Lovely Place To Stay

Fantastic holiday!
Posted Aug. 28, 2022 on HomeAwaySuch a lovely little house for our family to use as a base. Ricky was so welcoming and helpful and supportive throughout our stay both by her and her husband and we felt that no question was too small to ask. Thanks to Helfried for rescuing me at the supermarket!
We enjoyed popping to the beach in Panormo, which is a 5 minute drive from the house most days to enjoy the sea, cocktails and local cuisine. We always came back in the afternoon to enjoy the pool and cooling off at the house.
All in all, a great place to relax, get some sun and enjoy some small towns which are not touristy (yet!)

Excellent stay
Posted Aug. 19, 2022 on HomeAwayWe spent a lovely week with 3-generation family. House is perfect for 6, very well planned. Pool is gorgious - we spent most of the time there. Car is a must.
Very quiet neighbourhood allows you to rest
Ricky, the manager, was very helpful - thank you

Uncomfortable Beds
Posted Aug. 12, 2022 on HomeAwayRIkki was amazing, what a lovely helpful lady she is so helpful. They only two problems we had were that the beds had springs and clearly they are not that new so the springs were sticking up and with two of us with back problems they caused us a lot of pain. The house otherwise is amazing and the pool is excellent, the only slight problem is that if you wanted to get into the pool you had to shower off the sun protection even if it was waterproof so this was a bit of a hassle.I would recommend hiring a car as well as it is fairly remote. Also please bear un mind that you have to vacate the property at 10am which when you have a 7pm flight it is difficult, we put our luggage in the luggage room for a fee at the airport and got the bus from the airport to the town but Heraklion airport is badly organised and you cannot check your luggage in until 2 hours before you fly. I would recommend that the owner left a day between people vacating the property and the new travellers arriving the next day, this way we would get longer in the villa and RIkki would not have to be in such a rush to clean the villa make the beds up etc which would be better all around for the travellers and RIkki.

Wonderful stay.
Posted Jul. 30, 2022 on HomeAwayWe travelled by car from UK. After 4 days we arrived at the Villa. We were delighted. It was absolutely lovely in every way. The pool was fantastic. We were met by Ricky and Halfried who could not have taken greater care of us. Despite being only 5 mins from the little seaside resort of Panormo, the village of Roumeli retains its authentic atmosphere of daily life and we were made very welcome by its year round inhabitants. The villa itself was amazingly well equipped with everything one needed to spend a month on holiday there. The BBQ was great and we had some delightful meals with all my family who flew out to join us for a few days. Our glorious month flew by and we were so sad to leave. It was our second stay in a villa in Roumeli and we fully intend to return next year. The two local supermarkets are small but supply everything you need and the town of Perama,10 mins in land provided both interest and a wide selection of specialist shops. The lamb at the butchers and the baclava from the sweet pastry shop were beyond compare. There was nothing about this holiday that disappointed.

Fantastic villa
Posted Jul. 1, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had an absolutely amazing time at Mountain View Villa. It was our first time in Crete and we will definitely be back again! The villa was even better than we expected and was really clean & well equipped with everything we needed. The pool area was fab, bigger than some hotel pools we’ve stayed at in the past, and we loved sitting out on the roof terrace at night watching the sunsets. Kevin was so helpful and kind, even when we had issues with our initial flights being cancelled. And Ricky and her husband were lovely people and helpful too, and made us feel right at home when we arrived at the villa. We fell in love with Roumeli and Panormos close by…there’s some lovely restaurants in Panormos, Aldi was a short drive away and super handy, plus a little local shop 5mins walk away. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Very pleased we went
Posted Jun. 14, 2022 on HomeAwayVery pleased we had 10 days in Kevin’s clean and comfortable house with its excellent pool which is roughly between 4 foot and 5 foot deep, with easy access via steps in one corner, and which was perfect for our 11-year-old and eight-year-old children to spend all day in and really get into their swimming! It was big enough for mum and dad to swim properly as well. The local beach at Panormos is a five minute drive away with lots of places to eat and good swimming. The quiet Cretan village that the house is in is not a lively tourist resort at all, which was perfect for us. The arrival and check out were very smooth and friendly. A relaxing family holiday.
