We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful villa in Spilia, Kolymbari. The location is perfectâpeaceful and private, yet conveniently close to Chania, Falassarna Beach, and Balos Lagoon, making it an ideal base for exploring western Crete.The villa itself is stunning. The Mediterranean garden is lush and well cared for, creating a relaxing atmosphere, and the wooden sunbeds by the pool add a charming, natural touch. One of the highlights was definitely the heated swimming pool with its breathtaking sea viewâperfect for both daytime relaxation and sunset moments.A special mention goes to Manolis, the owner, who truly made our stay unforgettable. He welcomed us with delicious local products, which was such a thoughtful and authentic gesture. He was always available, kind, and eager to help with anything we needed, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay.If you're looking for a peaceful, high-quality retreat with incredible views and warm hospitality, this villa is a perfect choice. We would definitely come back!
Wir verbrachten eine Ende Oktober eine Woche in dieser wunderschönen Villa und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Der Besitzer der Villa ist sehr gastfreundlich und hat uns mit ein paar köstlichen Speisen versorgt. Der Pool ist wirklich toll. Jeden Morgen nach dem FrĂŒhstĂŒck auf der Terrasse haben wir mit unseren Kindern hier gleich ein paar Bahnen gedreht und die Sonne genossen. Als Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr Touren in West-Kreta ist die Villa sehr gut gelegen. Elafonissi Beach, Falasarna Beach, Balos Beach, Chania, Samaria-Schlucht, ... sind gut zu mit dem Auto zu erreichen. In Kolymvari haben wir ein paar nette und gute Restaurants besucht. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub und vermissen die Villa schon!
Wir haben zwei wunderbare Wochen in der Villa Katerina verbracht. Der Pool mit dem kleinen Kinderpool war das absolute Highlight. Das GrundstĂŒck ist schön, mit Meerblick und von auĂen nicht einsehbar. Manos hat sich super um uns gekĂŒmmert und hatte viele tolle Tips, was man in der Umgebung machen kann. Die Lage in Spilia ist toll, um die WestkĂŒste zu erkunden. In Spilia selbst gibt es drei Restaurants/Tavernen, um essen zu gehen.
Just returned from a week's stay in Villa Katerina - by far one of the best villa's we have stayed in!The pool area is fantastic, comfortable high quality sun beds (not the cheap plastic ones) and lovely shaded area to sit at when the sun is too hot! The upstairs patio area with sun shade is great - with fantastic views out over the sea. The kitchen is well stocked including washing stuff (as well as the clothes washing machine). The bathroom toiletries were amazing as well - definitely 5* hotel quality items!Manos was a great host as well - left us lots of food & sweets throughout our stay, and was always on hand checking that everything was ok - which is was!The two local taverna's in the village were very good - we ate there 4/5 times throughout the week.Would recommend Villa Katerina 100% to anyone who is looking to stay in the area!
The house comes with all necessary features for a relaxed stay. Be it the well equiped kitchen, the prettty bathrooms or the comfortable beds. The bright living room openes to the outside terrace. But without doubt, the highlight is the pool area surrounded by olive trees giving the choice to get some sun or reading a book in the shade. The village is quite and you rarely see a car going around. Fee walking minutes there are two tavernas to choose from, both offering delicious greek cuisine. Even though its remote character, the house is easy to reach and just few minutes by car from the highway - making it a perfect home base to explore the north and westcoast.
Manos is a great host, welcoming me upon arrival and was making sure I had all I need. Great stay!
The only thing more amazing than Western Crete is this property and the only thing better than this property is the host! Villa Katerina and the owner, Manolis, are both truly special and we will always remember our stay here! I donât know where to start but Manolis went above and beyond in every way and the house, the pool, the food exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend Villa Katerina if you are planning a trip to Western Crete!
Beautiful setting in a small village. Sea views, beach about a 10 min car journey. Fabulous pool and good quality sun loungers. Well equipped villa with everything you need to cook or BBQ. Great local, friendly taverna 2 mins walk away. Host Manolis was so helpful, responding to any query very quickly and providing us with lots of Cretan specialties and treats. We had a great stay - wish we had booked for longer !
Lovely Villa in a great semi-remote location, beautiful grounds, garden furniture and pool which we all hugely appreciated and enjoyed
We had everything we needed already there, but host Manos ensured we had an amazing stay, by leaving a welcome hamper of food and drink, bringing more lovely homemade treats during our stay and was there if we needed anything else in super fast time
There are 2 Tavernas within walking distance and a shop not too far by car, as well as the lovely Kolymvari just over 5 minutes away with its shops, restaurants and harbour
Would happily stay here again without hesitation
Sehr netter Vermieter, der bei Ankunft den KĂŒhlschrank befĂŒllt hatte und auch zwischenzeitlich kleine typische kretische Köstlichkeiten vorbeibrachte.
We booked this Villa for 10 days during the wintertime!!! We saw the photos firstly and the reviews which were unbelievable and that's it!! When we arrived we saw many differences at the villa. The Villa is more beautiful than the photos!!! New fence, new doors, new garage area, what a surprise!!! The pool of course as every guest mentioned is fantastic! Manolis informed us that he also changed all the mattresses. We had such a nice sleep!! 10 days resting, eating, and drinking local wine. We also had the opportunity to meet Manolis who gave us many ideas for things to do during this no-tourist period. Manolis was (as all the reviews mention) very generous and he make as feel like home!
We will be back!!
A wonderful place to relax - a great base for exploring Crete
The villa looked great in the photos - and lived up to all our expectations. The pool is delightful and the en suite bathrooms for all three rooms plus the huge beds are all great. Manos is an excellent host - quick to communicate, eager to help, full of useful advice about the area and generous with his gifts!
Having stayed on Crete 3 times now, can definitely say this is our favourite - Villa Katerina is a fantastic place to stay with the family - if you want seclusion but also being within a v.short drive to beaches and restaurants ( there are 3 within walking distance as well) - one of the best pools we have had and great bedrooms, air conditioning that works very well - finally, the owner, Manos is great to work with - very nice welcome gifts and then brought further gifts during our stay - all local produce - thanks to Manos for being such a great host - will hope to return
Just a fantastic holiday! Beautiful villa which has everything you could possibly need. The pool is beautiful and so relaxing. Manos we canât thank you enough for all your help and generosity. We hired a car and got to see the Mose beautiful sunsets and beaches. Stunning food at the local restaurants. Canât fault this holiday and will be back! We have older kids ages 14 and 17 and they just loved it! Thank you xx
Truly amazing in all aspects. A beautiful property and village. The warmth from the place and people is unforgettable with a most generous host to match the experience. A lovely welcome package and fantastic stay. Never been happier to leave a review.
Iâm not sure what impressed us more between the host and the villa itself. This was an unbelievably well executed Holiday stay from check-in to check-out.
First, about the host. Heâs incredible! Affable, earnest, helpful, flexible, and a wonderful person with whom to interact. He takes your vacation stay seriously and sees to it personally that you have a wonderful time. Thereâs a notebook in the villa of what to do and where to go with his recommendations. You arrive and the refrigerator is stocked with treats and local specialties. Heâs responsive to inquiries/requests and flexible to your preferences. This is the host I want for every VRBO, forever. Heâs really that good.
The villa itself is gorgeous. The little village of Spilia is wonderful! Partially up the mountain with views to the Mediterranean (from the villaâs back yard!). A couple of delicious local taverns within walking distance. 1km up the hill is the cave/historical attraction/Orthodox church of St. John the Hermit. The villa itself was pristine, well-appointed, and very comfortable. The pool was an extravagance our daughters enjoyed daily. Thereâs an outdoor downstairs table set in the shade of the upstairs balcony with views of the town, mountains, and sea; we ate at that table daily. The furnishings are attractive, comfortable, as pictured, and exactly what I would wish for on this type of stay. Air conditioners by room let everyone set their preference for comfort. And the location gave us 30-60 minute driving access to pretty much everything the prefecture of Chania has to offer, from Southwest beaches (e.g. Elafonissi) to old town Chania proper.
We chose this villa because every review seemed to rave about how great the place was. They were spot on. If youâre considering a stay in/around Chania, I wouldnât even consider another location.
Thank you!
A very relaxing peaceful and enjoyable week. Manolis looked after us perfectly and went above and beyond, the goodies on arrival to helping us out with our hire car, places to visit and any issues we had. The pool was lovely and warm and the villa is perfect in every way, we will return x
We were having a hard time writing a review of this home because we donât want anyone else to know about it. This Villa is spectacular. Close attention was paid to every part of this house. It is all remodeled (new cabins in the bathrooms) and clean. The layout is Perfect for any family. The pictures do not do any justice as to the size of the home. The outdoor view from ground floor and first floor is just beautiful. There are plenty of places to sit and relax. The heated and salted pool is the perfect size with lounge chairs surrounding it. I confirm that the salted water is amazing and you make feel much better than being in a conventional pool. We took a risk of being in December in this villa but we never regreted. The combination of a heated pool and a fireplace made our holidays perfect.Manolis was absolutely wonderful and if there were any problems he was available by phone immediately. Manolis was extremely accommodating and truly made us feel at home. I have stayed in the area for many years and so far this is my favorite of all my rentals in the West Crete area. Ballos ,Elafonissi and Chania were so nice at this time of the year . We also went to some secret villages and local taverns where Manolis suggested. The location of the Villa is ideal to explore the region of West Crete.Thank you Manolis for lending me and my family your home. Itâs a week we will never forget.
What a fabulous treat. The house was immaculate, beautifully furnished, and fully equipped. The pool is salted and heated and it was amazing to swim when it s raining.!!! First time in my life in a salted pool, I won't book something different in the future! The sea view from both first and second floor is amazing. During the night when the weather was good we could see so many stars!!. We loved the area too, a nice traditional tavern in walking distance. More restaurants you can find in less that 5 minutes drive. The villa is situated in a perfect location to explore the West Crete. We were not so lucky regarding the weather conditions in November but the Villa and the owner Manolis made us feel at home and we had a great time. Some more words about Manolis. Although he was sick during our stay he was always available to help us and give us the best options!!! Moreover, the welcome pack he prepared for us was the best we ever had!! We will come again!!!
