"Enjoyed the stay. Lots of interesting things to watch from the house. From ships and boats entering and exiting the harbor, planes arriving and the goats were alway entertaining. "

"We loved it, beautiful villa with lovely views, s9 peaceful, well thought out provisions and a generous welcome pack. We had a lovely stay. Local village Plaka had a small selection of nice tavernas and Almyrida a further lovely choice with a good sandy beach, pretty views and not overly touristy. My only slightly negative point is that it was described as a short walk to local shops and tavernas. This was a 5-7 minute drive to Plaka and a further 5 minutes drive to the beach, all downhill there and uphill on way back. We did not attempt to walk it but i would not consider it a short or easy walk at all. For us car was essential, which we had but didn't necessarily want to have to drive every day. "

"Staff very friendly, fantastic breakfast. Very clean "

"Lovely villa amazing views. Easy drive to all local villages including supermarkets. Bit of a hairy drive but easy after the first few goes! Brilliant hosts would give 10/10"

"The highlight is the view across to the peninsula. It is stunning! And there are plenty of places from which to enjoy it. Sitting in the shade by the villa, on sun loungers round the pool, in the pool or from various balconys. Location: halfway between Rethymnon and Chania make it great for airport or ferry. Short walk to Plaka (5 mins) with good supermarkets and one very good taverna and a couple of other OK ones. Slightly longer walk (15 mins) down to Almyrida with more choice of tavernas and two or three small beaches. Good taxi service back up the hill if you don't want to walk. NB. The driveway down to the villa is steep for those with walking difficulties Rooms: All great. Most with ensuite. Two rooms share a bathroom. All but one have great views across the sea and have their own balconies. The master suite is amazing with windows on all sides, a large dressing room and bathroom (with bath and shower). Perfect for us with 20+ year old 'children', their partners, parents and a grandparent. Lots of space and privacy for us all so we didn't feel we were living on top of each other Living areas: large and spacious, outside and in, with lots of places for us all to sit together or in smaller groups. Kitchen very well kitted out, with everything you could imagine to cook with (only a four ring hob, slightly surprising for such a large villa but was fine for us) Management: Alexandra responsive and Carina was v helpful day to day "

"Really lovely villas and large pools. Could do with slightly more foliage in between villa terraces for added privacy and the cleaner should sweep when changing towels etc..other than that the owners were extremely friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here. Definitely need to rent a car. "

"Villa Timori is perfect for a sunny getaway in Crete with wonderful sunsets, relaxing spaces, the most comfortable beds ever, and gorgeous views over Souda Bay. We would not hesitate to recommend it. Carina was great as Manager and very caring. Check in process was smooth and well organised. Nothing to criticise at all! Definitely recommend asking the team to get in some shopping for you before you arrive (cost as per the items, plus a 30 euro charge, which was very reasonable). This made our late night arrival very pleasant as we could have a lovely supper before bed :)"

"Our stay at Villa Bougainvillea was faultless from start to finish. The pictures of the Villa and its outstanding location do not do it justice. From the initial booking, Jennifer has been the perfect host, always responding to any queries in a timely manner and the checking in details were fantastic. We had a few issues with the water supply during our 10 day stay (something that is common in this area and we were aware of) but Jennifer did her utmost to rectify the situation and it did not affect our holiday at all. The villa has everything that you need to enjoy a relaxing break and the location is absolutely perfect for exploring western Crete. The views from the villa are breathtaking. Nearby Plaka and Almyrida are great for soaking up the holiday atmosphere with many great Tavernas. The locals are super friendly and you can be sure of a warm welcome. It was our first visit to Crete and we’ve no doubt that we’ll be returning. We have fallen completely in love with this island and made some everlasting family memories during our stay at this wonderful villa. Thank you Jennifer. "

"super view over Souda Bay. Property is as advertised and the owner was responsive on the couple of occasions required."
