Fabulous villa for the family

Really lovely villa which was clean and had plenty of space for a family. Manolis was a grat manager and helped us whenever needed. We also had some fruit and other food on our arrival which was really helpful after our flight. The villa is on a hillside so a car is necessary but once we figured out how the villages were placed and what amenities were where it was easy to navigate around. Definitely recommend.

A magical stay in Crete

Upon renting Villa Iris, I kept thinking that this property could not possibly be as beautiful as the pictures suggest. I was very wrong — it is even more gorgeous and well-kept. Everything about our stay was magical. The manager was kind, patient and very responsive. The views — to die for! Bedrooms were comfortable and the house was very clean. The garden was filled with many fragrant flowers in bloom which attracted hundreds of butterflies. Our family of 4 adults and 4 children had a wonderful time. We can’t wait to return! Thank you so much for renting Villa Iris to us!
