Outstanding family gathering- beautifully supported by Lina at every step of the way.
The villa was fabulous- 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms made everything effortless. The pool was even better- plenty of room for people to play together or spend time alone. Lina prepared a Cretan feast for us all- 15- for my birthday- and helped me plan an excursion to Knossos and an amazing dinner recommendation in Rethymno- she gave individual recommendations and local tips and made sure everyone had what they needed in the Villa and beyond. Simply outstanding

A wonderful place to make amazing memories
From the first enquiry email we knew this was going to be the place for our family of 15 to spend precious time together. Our holiday was 15 months in the making and during that time we had lots of different questions we needed the answers to. Lina was so super responsive, knowledgeable and kind in her responses, she was patient too. We loved the villa, especially the outside space. The pool is huge, the amenities spot on, plenty of sunbeds, outdoor seating and enough table space to dine comfortably. We chose to have two dinners cooked for us, one on our arrival day and one midweek. The food was beautifully cooked, you could tell it was lovingly prepared by the way it was presented. There was plenty for all and even some for lunch the next day-amazing. We're so glad we booked the dinners, a real treat. Breakfast every day-wow, such a great way to start the day. Shopping, preparation, cooking and clearing up after 15 is time consuming - a massive bonus to have breakfast delivered. Lina called us taxis when we needed them, be aware that taxis to 'the square' were on average €15 which was more than we anticipated. In hindsight, we probably should've hired cars. Airport transfers were arranged for us by Lina and the driver was Fab too. We experienced many of the local restaurants, which we enjoyed immensely. From our youngest to the oldest and every age in between, we had a blast. Thank you Lina, we hope to see you again.

Fantastic getaway
We had a fabulous time with friends and family at the wonderful villa. The rooms/space and pool was perfect to accommodate 15 of us. The BBQ area was lovely, especially watching the sun go down on the the beautiful Crete horizon. Lina was on hand to provide the best support throughout our stay and helped with local restaurant bookings. She and the other staff were brilliant. Nothing was ever a problem. We would definitely recommend this villa to others and we'll consider a revisit in the future.

Amazing holiday
We booked our stay consisting of two families with our children and grandchildren. The villa was absolutely perfect, there was a second kitchen upstairs which was very useful with a second washing machine too! The area was very safe for the grandchildren and they absolutely loved the play area and equipment. Also having the children's section of the swimming pool was ideal. We used the barbecue which was really good including a sink and worktop next to it. Best of all was the Property Manager Lina. She was just so helpful contacting us before we arrived and whilst we were there. The breakfast each morning was such a nice touch and very delicious. Lina arranged for a masseur to come to the villa for four of our party, which they liked and found so relaxing We really enjoyed the chef evening, absolutely fantastic and such good value. Lina is a wonderful cook so much so we booked another evening, the food was just amazing. You do need a small car to go to nearby Lidl and some trips to Rethymo, which is really nice. Although taxis are really reasonable and easy to arrange. Would thoroughly recommend this villa and we would like to return.

Memorable Holiday at Knossos Estate Villas
As a destination for our family (12) get together from Melbourne London and LA it was the perfect location. The setting was great with a beautiful large pool and surroundings backed up by very good and helpful staff particularly Lina. Overall a wonderful experience enjoyed by all and we would thoroughly recommend this venue. Lloyd

Wonderful Property
We visited Knossos Estates as a large family group in June. The villa was stunning with incredible views and had excellent facilities to keep the whole family entertained. Lina (the property manager) was incredibly attentive, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend making use of the private chef which involves an amazing selection of home cooked Cretan dishes. We would recommend hiring a car for travelling around the island; there is a coffee shop and restaurant in walking distance, but you will need a car if you want to travel further afield. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend to any family/friends group. Thank you to Lina and team for making our stay very special.

best holiday we have ever had
I am Chris we have 3 Children 6 Grandchildren and I decided it would be a good idea to take them all on a holiday together, I gave them a budget and they found this wonderful villa, there were 15 of us in total. The accommodation was fantastic, the staff were wonderful and the manager Lina could not have been more attentive, she made us feel at home immediately, nothing was to much trouble, on the last day she cooked us a wonderful evening meal. There was plenty for the kids to do, swings ,slide, roundabout and a huge swimming pool with an area for the youngest to play in. Would we go again and the answer is a BIG YES from everyone.

Excellent villa in Crete
Stayed at the villa for a week with 13 people. There was plenty of space for everybody, breakfast was made and brought to us every morning and delicious. Lina the property manager was amazing, she helped with everything we needed. I got married at the villa and Lina and her group decorated the pool area beautifully and served a delicious sit down dinner for that evening, it really took a lot of stress away from me to have it done by them. I couldn’t have asked for a better villa or property manager!

Private but convenient
My wife, myself, and our families (14 total) stayed at this lovely home for 5 nights. Lina (property manager) was very accommodating and a good communicator. She made sure all of our needs were taken care of and made us all a delicious home cooked meal on our last night for a very reasonable sum. The property itself is very spacious with a great location convenient to Rethymno & the main east/west highway. The view of the ocean & city is fantastic from the property, and the pictures do not quite do justice to how great the scenery is.
