    Αισθάνθηκα εγώ και η οικογένειά μου σαν τον μικρό Δία σε ένα φανταστικό κατάλυμα εφάμιλλο του Ιδαίου άντρου , με την κυρία Φιλιώ να παίζει τον ρόλο της Αμάλθειας όπου από το κέρας της έβγαζε όλα τα καλά του κόσμου για να μας ευχαριστήσει και τον κύριο Μανώλη στον ρόλο των Κουρητών να κάνει τα πάντα για να μας προστατέψει από τους Κρόνους που ζουν ανάμεσα μας , σας ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ...

    Schöne Villa mit griechischer Gastfreundschaft

    Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in der schönen Villa. Die Villa ist gut ausgestattet, alles vorhanden was es für einen tollen Urlaub benötigt. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Gastgeber. Wir fühlten uns super aufgenommen und wurden auch mit griechischen Leckereien von Filia und Manilo verwöhnt 🥰 Die Kontaktaufnahme und Kommunikation mit Marina hat super geklappt 😄 Die Villa liegt auch gut für Ausflüge nach Heraklion etc. Dafnes ist ein netter kleiner Ort mit einem Marktplatz mit div. Tavernen, hier gab es auch entsprechende Empfehlungen ☺️

    Die Villa liegt unterhalb einer Straße. Da ich sehr geräuschempfindlich bin, habe ich immer meine Ohrstöpsel dabei. Mein Mann hatte kein Problem mit evtl. Strassengeräuschen in der Nacht. Daher empfanden wir es nicht als störend, ist aber natürlich immer persönliches Empfinden.

    Amazing villa with the amazing hosts - just what we needed!

    This villa was absolutely perfect for what we needed from our holiday. It was really well equipped and homely, stunning and well looked after. We rarely needed to get anything for our stay! This is probably one of the best stocked villas we’ve stayed in. The villa has ample seating space for meals and the pool area is really relaxing with shaded areas too! We were met by the host’s father Manolis who showed us to the villa and around the villa itself and despite language barriers did a great jobs of informing us of everything and making us feel so welcome! We were greeted with so much to get our stay started, including bread, wine, water, fruit and cheese as well as sweet treats! The host Marina’s parents Manolis and Filia stayed next to the villa and couldn’t be more welcoming, again despite language barriers we made fast friends with them and felt so well looked after. When we had a power outage Manolis came to our aid immediately! Filia and Manolis often dropped round with baked goods, sweet treats and even cooked us meals which were to die for! We got the full Cretan experience and loved it. We can’t thank them enough!

    Some people may have trouble being as close to a main road, but for us the noise wasn’t too bad! Had heard the WiFi could be spotty, on the first day when we arrived it was a little temperamental but I can’t say we struggled all that much with it after that!
