Crete villa
The villa was beautiful! So sweet of Stella to leave us such wonderful treats at the house when we got there. Fresh watermelon, peaches, cantaloupe, homemade cookies, honey, raki & olive oil. Stella was wonderful to communicate with. The cleaning girls did a great job & we would love to go back!

Fabulous Crete!
Villa is exactly as pictured in listing, but even more beautiful when you are there in person taking it all in. We took some day trips (boat excursion to Gramvousa/ Balos Lagoon through Etouri) and lots on our own to explore the island and its many beaches. We cooked meals in the villa, which was well equipped. You will need a car, there are not a lot of great restaurants close by. We rented one through Etouri that was dropped off at the Villa. Service could have not been better from owner and from Etouri. Enjoy!

Do Not Miss!
This rental property truly has it all – it seems like the kind of place a movie star might stay, but is still family friendly and approachable. Admire the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea from balconies on 3 levels, with snow-capped mountains in the distance to the right. Just a short walk to authentic Greek tavernas past beautiful pastoral sheep pastures complete with sheep dogs (they bark, but they’re just doing their job). This property will blow your mind. It’s just a short drive to Marathi Beach, which is known for its stunning beauty and has a great adjacent restaurant. But it's not just the location that makes this property so special. The owner, Stella, is incredibly hospitable and kind, always going above and beyond to make sure her guests have the best possible experience. There was a welcome basket with local wine, cookies, olive oil, and local aperitif – it was fantastic. The concierge phone in the house is a great touch, allowing guests to easily book activities like winery tours and other excursions with just a simple call. The property itself is super modern and impeccably clean, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We were there a bit early in the season (early May) and paid to have the pool heated – totally worth it as we were travelling with kids. Great amenities and the safe and secure environment All in all, this rental property is a true gem and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable vacation in Crete.

Great Villa with a View
We, 3 couples, loved staying at the Niolos Villa. Each couple ended up having their own floors. The villa had comfortable furnishing, great patios and balconies all around. Stella, the property owner is very sweet and generous. She allowed us to check in couple of hours earlier, she also gave us homemade cheese and spinach pie, and sent us off with a bottle of their own olive oil to each couple. Etouri was also easy to work with and they provided concierge reservation services. We would definitely return to Stella's properties next time in Crete. Young et al

Luxurious villa near a great village
The owner clearly cares about her visitors. Stella left delicious starter foods with lots of fresh fruit and olive oil, bread etc mid week we got a plate of amazing savoury pastries freshly baked and when we left we were given a bottle of their own olive oil On to the villa, it is incredibly and thoughtfully equipped and set up for comfort outside there are plenty of comfortable options for moving in and out of the sun. For little children there's a small area in the pool and being salt and not chlorine it was very comfortable to use Aircon worked quickly and showers bedding etc were all top class. The table outside the kitchen was our favourite place to congregate It's next to another villa and whilst each villa can see into the others garden it's very private and no noise If you like military aircraft, and we do, there's occasional fly past from the local NATO base We loved the village. Short walk each morning for coffee and provisions and a great restaurant opposite where we both ate in and had a take away Local beaches lovely, free parking, beach bar etc

Beautiful villa, wonderful holiday
The villa itself was beautiful, with everything provided that you could need for your holiday. The owner, Stella, was lovely and did everything she could to make our stay comfortable, even to the point of leaving us home baked cookies and Cretan pies! We particularly loved the outdoor seating and barbeque area, where we would cook and sit out most evenings The views from this part of the villa across the bay are stunning. The villa was spotlessly clean, with good aircon. Plenty of room for the six of us either to be together or have peace and quiet whenever we wanted. We very much enjoyed swimming in the large pool and playing table tennis on the lawn in the evening. A car is essential as there is very little that is within walking distance. Chania nearby is a beautiful town and we ate out there a couple of nights. We also rented a boat with crew there for the day (Chania Elegant Cruises) which we loved. We had a mix up on arrival but that was down to the managing agent who arranged the transfer not communicating properly with the owner our time of arrival. They also gave us the wrong name and telephone number of the owner which caused unnecessary stress and hassle. We were disappointed in how the agent handled this. In that regard we would not recommend using the agents preferred company for the transfer to the villa. They charged us 100 euros for a 7km drive, the driver did not know where the villa was (we had to direct him using Google maps), he did not speak English and they had not communicated our arrival time to the host family. The taxi driver was told by his boss to leave us outside the property for 45 minutes in the afternoon, in searing heat, after we had been travelling for 12 hours. It was not the way we wanted to arrive. I would stress this was not the owners fault who did everything to make our holiday memorable. We would definitely like to return-it was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed.

Fantastic get away with friends!
We enjoyed a fabulous week at the villa. The host Stella was waiting when we arrived even though it was very late at night, they took the time to show us around. Nothing was too much trouble. We also received great help from Eteri when it came to booking days out, finding shops and restaurants. The villa was everything you could wish for, clean and practical with lots of lovely touches. The pool was heated which was perfect for April and the kids could stay in for long periods happily. Stella even baked us some beautiful Greek treats and gifted us her own olive oil and honey. Fantastic stag and we would not hesitate to book again.
