A little slice of Cretan paradise
Villa Tamos is a wonderful, well-equipped, spacious villa in a beautiful setting and we absolutely loved our time there. The pool is as perfect as the view and grounds and Stuart and Lorraine were super-helpful hosts. The villa is well located for exploring Crete and the restaurants/bars/shops of Almyrida are only ten minutes drive away. There is a long unmade track to the property, which needs driving with care, but it's well worth it, and we hope to return one day! Thank you for everything. 10/10 from the Ross Family.

Idyllic stay in the heart of Crete
We had a wonderful time! The house and property are located on a hill in western Crete within easy driving distance of many sites including Chania - we planned a lot of touring. We were able to hike the Imbros Gorge and beaches at Elafinisi and Balos (highly recommended!), among other outings. The house is essentially new, and has all the facilities we were looking for - we especially loved meals and enjoying drinks poolside! The lemon tree's fruits were a bonus!!! The sunset views are surprisingly spectacular, overlooking the hills and sea! The house is equipped with three bedrooms, including one double bed and two rooms with two single beds each - all rooms were comfortably air conditioned. Although we normally had to drive almost anywhere given our agenda, it was nice to walk a couple of times to Douliana for dinner: Heloistasi restaurant was a nice find! The only drawback are the roads to approach (wasn't really an issue for us), honestly a general issue in Crete off the main roads (!!): expect about 2km of challenging off-road driving to approach the house.

Fantastic villa in peaceful surroundings - with great pool.
Communication with Lorraine and Stuart was excellent. Our visit was in September 2020 - and there had been a lot of uncertainty as to whether we would be able to travel to Crete due to Covid 19. The villa was relatively easy to find with the directions supplied - although we did also use a satnav. As other reviews state - some of the roads leading to it are unpaved, steep and uneven in places - however we were in a rented Citreon C1 which coped without a problem. The villa was spotlessly clean and well maintained. It is spacious and has adequate cooking facilities. The pool is a great size, was always warm as it benefits from sun for most of the day. The views from pool area and the balconies were a pleasure to wake up to. The villa is well situated to visit the western half of Crete. The village of Douliana which is approx. a 1 kilometre away has 2 reasonably priced restaurants - food in both was very tasty and plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the villa - very relaxing and would highly recommend it.

Unbelievable
We did our homework...Villa Tamos is by far the nicest HomeAway property we have ever rented. (Barcelona, Mallorca, Rome, 3X Miami Beach, Manhattan) It is much nicer than pictured and far nicer than any of the reviews described it. The view, the house, the property, the pool and the location are superb. Lorraine lives close by and and will go out of her way to help in any way she can. My girlfriend spent literally all day long in the pool. which was perfect temperature. Thank goodness we had a car, as the walk into town is a little too strenuous. We never ventured farther than Almyida; there were very nice restaurants there right along the water. We fully intend to return. Thank you Mr & Mrs Baker Pavlina from Prague & Jim from Pennsylvania

Villa Tamos 22/5/19 to 5/6/19
The villa is well appointed and comfortable. The pool is delightful. Above all the situation is wonderful with views to the sea and to the mountains. The sea is only 15 minutes away for sunbathing, swimming and relaxing. The notes for the property were useful and include a reliable guide to the local, and not so local, restaurants. Chania is an interesting town, and Heraklion, with Knossos and the museum should not be missed.

Stunning, private, peaceful location and wonderfully equipped villa!
We absolutely loved staying up in the hills above Almyrida. The villa is so welcoming and so brilliantly equipped, that we sometimes found it hard to actually go out and see the sights of Crete! We all appreciated the peace, the beautiful lush garden and hillsides, the sheep bells, the cicada, and of course the amazing pool. We walked to both local villages -Douliana and Gavalochora- and had great meals in both places. The folk museum in Gavalochora is exquisite. Favourite taverna there is the one in the main square opposite the bakery. One highlight of the trip was travelling over the mountains to Elafonisi, swimming in crystal clear, warm waters (even in late October - although we are Scottish and used to freezing lochs, so 'warm' is probably relative!) and buying honey and beeswax from the locals. Everything about the villa and the island was wonderful. Highly recommend! Thank you, Lorraine, for all your advice and tips prior to arrival. Good luck with your ongoing projects in Crete. 🙂

Beautiful Villa in a stunning location
Villa Tamos is beautiful - very clean, fully equipped, comfortable, gorgeous location with an amazing huge and warm pool. My family of 4 had a wonderful 2 weeks there this August and we were all very sad to leave! Communication with the owner was excellent before and during our stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The fascinating Roman ruins at Aptera are only 25 minutes away and we were spoilt for choice for beaches. An amazing holiday!!!

Beautiful villa in a stunning location
Fantastic holiday in a beautiful villa in a stunning location. We have visited Almyrida for many years and stayed in a number of different villas, but Villa Tamos is definitely one of the most beautiful and well-equipped villas we've ever stayed in, the pool was a huge hit, and the location was absolutely stunning. We very much hope to return soon.

Perfect for peace and quiet
This is my 2nd stay at the villa and both times have been fantastic. Gardens are beautiful and well presented. Pool is great and nice and warm when we stayed in mid may. Views over souda bay and White mountains spectacular. Plenty of room in the villa for our party of 5. Absolutely delightful stay.
