This has to be the most luxurious villa we've even been to. Every thing was clean and so beautiful, the pool and the view were fantastic. Also the hospitality was beyond amazing. We will definitely be back!
Great place for a peaceful escape with spectacular views. Heated pool is a must. Welcome food and drink basket was perfect for our late arrival. Modern appliances and shower. Overall a very relaxing stay.
We loved staying at this property! It was luxury while also feeling very comfortable. We were recommended to have a rental car, and I am grateful for that recommendation. The location provides a lot of privacy, which means its a few min drive to restaurants and the city. Dimitri, our concierge, was a pure delight! He was always quick to respond, and assist us with spa bookings and wonderful city recommendations. We have every intention of staying here again for future visits.
Our stay at Villa Hellena was incredible! The villa was so beautiful, clean and private. Dimitris, Kostas and the etouri team were all excellent and so responsive to any questions and arranging truly anything else we needed. The kitchen has updated appliances and they even went shopping for us prior so we had everything needed to cook from check in (just need to provide a list a few days prior to check in). He also had the wine fridge stocked with delicious local wines which was an added bonus (minibar style). Our favorite part was hanging by the spacious pool and enjoying the beautiful view. We never heard a single neighbor, it was so quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend watching the sunrise over Dia island from the patio, it’s breathtaking! Also recommend getting a massage at the on site spa. Do not hesitate to book this place, it’s even better in person than it looks in pictures! Thanks for an AMAZING stay, we will definitely be back!
We loved the privacy and the quietness of the Villa. It was easy to find.
The quality of the Villa was first class, spacious and very well equipped. Everything worked just as it should. We loved how it was furnished. The bed was very comfortable. The ‘welcome pack’ was great and very useful. The pool was fantastic and excellent that it was heated, which we would strongly recommend if you stay when the weather is not boiling hot. As each Villa is separate and none overlook another, it did feel very private. The architect had also clearly given thought to acoustics as you could hardly hear any sounds from other villas. The view is amazing and it is easy and quick to drive into Heraklion. We absolutely loved it here.
My wife and I came to Crete for the last leg of our Greece honeymoon. When we saw this vacation rental listing online, our heart was set on it and we took the plunge. But we were shocked to find out ... that the place vastly EXCEEDED our expectations.
We loved everything about the villa. We opted for the heated pool (which I recommend btw, because otherwise the water would be quite frigid) and were able to enjoy it every single day. The villa is super new (literally less than a year old) and was way nicer than most places we've stayed even in high end hotels in the US. Everything was incredibly modern (sometimes too much, simpler light switches anyone?) and they got every little quality of life detail right. Chromecast-ing to TV just worked. Separate room for toilet and shower? Check. Cleaning person that comes in the middle of your stay, check. Floor to ceiling windows, check. The place was truly beautiful inside and out.
The owner was on-site a lot of the time and had food, some light groceries, and wine waiting for us after a stressful ferry over. The owner even arranged for some clothes of ours to be washed and pressed, it was all a very seamless experience.
Etouri was a great travel concierge provider as well. They made it super easy for us to order meals for delivery (which they did on our behalf). They made it easy to secure a rental car with just a few quick emails and made sure to drop off and pick up the car from our villa!
We will stay here again the next time we are in Crete and let our friends / family know to stay here. Thanks for such an awesome stay!
