Stunning views and peaceful surroundings
Villa Despina is a perfect location to unwind. The villa has everything--a beautiful pool, shady terraces and balconies on which to relax outside and enjoy the amazing mountain views, a superb taverna 50 metres from the front door and gorgeous beaches and gorges within a 10 minute drive. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, and the food they serve in the taverna is so fresh and deliciously prepared that you never want to go anywhere else! We can't wait to return.

Great villa
This villa is very good value. It has great mountain views by the pool and there is a nice ocean view from the nearby taverna owned by the same family (which also has good food). The pool is a good size. Would definitely stay again.

The perfect holiday
I don't say these things lightly, but Villa Despina is a magical place. The house is large and spacious with plenty of room for a big family. The location is beautiful and scenic, and also just remote enough to not having to worry about noise. The big garden/terrace, and especially swimming pool tie a bow around this perfect package! Communication with the management is easy, friendly, and convenient, as you just have to walk 20 m to the taverna, which is also a great place to have dinner, especially if you have children. It was our 2nd stay in as many years, and we will definitely be returning as soon as possible. 5/5 Stars, highly recommended.

Villa Despina
We found the owners to be very welcoming and really nice people, There Taverna is just a very short walk away and sells very reasonable food and beer, The Villa was very clean and tidy,At 1st there was not enough sun beds but when asked for they came with more straight away ,For the price we paid the Villa is very good. There are lots of beaches close by and the nearest town is about 10 min drive with lots to do there inc: shopping,eating,drinking etc . would defiantly return overall very good.

Amazing, highly recommend
We recently arrive home after a 9 day stay in Villa Despina. The villa is beautiful, well equipped and the location is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful and relaxing break. I would recommend hiring a car to get around to see some of the beautiful beaches and surroundings, however we did not have a car and the owners were a huge help in taking us shopping and also arranging car rental for us! Taverna Despina is just at the end of the road and we spent a few nights here. Once again, I could not fault the villa and especially the owners. We felt so welcome and are looking forward to visiting again soon!

Very good stay for 2 weeks with family
A lot of space for 2 families, 3 adults and 4 teenies, clean, nice pool, big barbecue, very friendly owners who gave their best to make us feel confortable, consider a car is needed to reach the nice beaches (between 10 and 20 minutes), wind can be really strong. The owner family runs also the Taverna with good food and correct prices.

Excellent hosts and comfortable villa
The good things: the villa is large with four large bedrooms,the owner is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. He owns the adjacent taverna which serves simple but tasty food and is good value. Things which could be improved: there is a lack of kitchen equipment and crockery. We were a party of 8 and struggled. If you were 10 or 12 you’d certainly find it difficult. The property needs a table big enough to sit all guests outside with lighting. We ate inside every night because of the lack of this. The online listing mentions TVs and fridges in bedrooms and a sauna. We didn’t want or need any of these things but couldn’t find them either. Lastly the hydro massage shower did not work. Despite all theses issues we enjoyed our stay and thank everyone at Villa Despina for their kindness.

Large family holiday at Villa Despina
Just returned from a wonderful two week stay at Villa Despina. A very large villa with all the amenities you need, very clean and spacious. The views are amazing and completely private, the owners run the taverna next door and are very welcoming making you feel part of there family. Spent most nights there just for evening drinks, food is very nice aswell. Nice location to explore south of the island, plenty of nice beaches.

Fantastic 2 weeks with the family.
From the moment we arrived and were greeted with free drinks at the family taverna the holiday was a complete success. We traveled with our son & wife, daughter & husband and our 5 grandchildren. The Villa accommodated all 11 of us, was well equipped and provided a good base for the southern beaches of Crete. The well maintained private pool provided hours of entertainment for the grandchildren when not at the beach. The family run taverna, only 50 metres from the villa, provided an excellent variety of delicious dishes at reasonable rates such that we dined there every evening of our stay. The owners whole family were very friendly and could not do enough to make our whole stay most satisfactory. We almost became part of their family. We would not hesitate to recommend the villa to anyone wanting a good time in southern Crete.
