  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true gem above Kouremenos Beach 🌊☀️🏄‍♂️ We have enjoyed villa holidays like this many times before, but Villa Aiolos was truly on another level. ❤️ The location is simply outstanding 📍. Perched above Kouremenos Beach, it offers breathtaking views and easy access to everything Palekastro and the surrounding area have to offer. Every morning started the same way: sitting comfortably in the armchair with a coffee ☕, looking at the sea and checking the wind. Would it be a windsurfing day 🏄‍♂️🌬️, or a day to explore eastern Crete? Either way, the view alone was enough to make us smile. The villa itself is charming, cozy and beautifully maintained 🏡🌿. It feels authentic, welcoming and full of character, with everything thoughtfully arranged to make guests feel at home. What made our stay truly special was the owner. He is one of the kindest and most generous hosts we have ever met. 🙏😊 We were welcomed with an abundance of thoughtful treats, including fresh figs picked from the tree in front of the house 🌳🍈, delicious local olive oil 🫒, and many other goodies waiting for us on arrival. One of our favorite holiday moments became the perfect windsurfer's breakfast: thick Greek yogurt 🥣 topped with fresh figs from the garden 🌳, local honey 🍯, and a view of the sea. Simple, delicious and unforgettable. Villa Aiolos offers that rare combination of spectacular location, authentic hospitality, comfort and soul. ✨ Top top ++ accommodation in the Palekastro area. We would return without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to stay in Crete. 🌊🏄‍♂️🌬️☀️❤️ Thank you for everything, and we hope to come back again! 🇬🇷😊

  Geweldig

  Prachtig gelegen op een berg met uitzicht over zee. Ideaal voor rustzoekers

  Eind april is de surfverhuur nog dicht.

  Perfect

  Two years ago, while vacationing alone in the area, I went to see this house and knew that our next vacation in Crete, this time with the family, would be spent here. It's the perfect retreat for four people. The property is large, with the house positioned to shield from the often strong northwestern winds. It has a great jacuzzi, a sufficient pool, a large grill, and a dining area, all complemented by a friendly and accommodating host. The house itself is located on the top of a hill, offering an incredible view of the surroundings. It's important to note that having a car greatly facilitates daily activities, as the distance to shops or the nearest restaurants varies (it's a 20-minute walk to the nearest beach and about 45-60 minutes to town, but only 3 to 6 minutes by car). The beds are comfortable, the rooms are spacious enough, and the house is equipped with everything you might need—and more. For example, there is a first aid kit and a sewing kit available. Upon arrival, the host provided us with his delicious olive oil (which we used up entirely, it was so tasty) and some basic food and fruits, including figs from his garden.

  This isn't a complaint but merely a factual observation and a tip for future guests. The bunk beds in the second bedroom may not be long enough for tall individuals. My 16-year-old son is 190 cm tall, and his feet hung over the edge of the upper bunk, while my 13-year-old son still slept comfortably on the lower bunk. However, I think in two years, he too might find it a bit cramped :)
