The villa looks great in the pictures but it’s even better in person.Beautiful inside and out. The pool area is great, and the covered outdoor dining space it beautiful. One of the best villas we’ve ever stayed in and the villa owners/ managers on hand were great. Location is good for the town (although the town is limited) but the views gardens and isolation of the villa is great. Would 100% stay here again

Dear Mike, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that the villa exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the pool area, outdoor dining space, and the beautiful gardens. We’re also glad that our team could assist you throughout your stay by providing attentive support when needed. The nearby town it’s a charming, smaller place with a more relaxed vibe, which many of our guests appreciate for its authenticity and tranquility. We always encourage exploring the surrounding areas as well, where there are many beautiful spots and vibrant towns nearby. We would be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back for another stay anytime. Warm regards, ThinkVilla Team.
Fantastic new property superb layout from ultra modern stylish bedrooms through to open plan living downstairs. Outside layout was a dream with fantastic outdoor shaded eating area. High quality large dining table, bbq and professional drinks fridge. Perama was a lovely working village with plenty of supermarkets, coffee shops, bakers, butchers It is a working town which added to the authenticity of the stay. Close by is Peromo and Bali which are more tourist (still lovely and quiet). Think Villa and the owners have been superb. Looking at the larger nine bedroom property for 2021.

It’s always wonderful to know our guests had a fantastic experience, and we’d love to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay soon! Travel Regards, ThinkVilla Team
Het huis was nog mooier dan op de foto's op internet. Alle kamers met luxe badkamer, prachtig zwembad en tuin, fijne keuken. Ontvangst en service waren prima. Het enige minpuntje is dat in het plaatsje Perama weinig te doen was. Dat lag misschien aan de periode dat wij er waren (mei) maar het leek wat vergane glorie. Wel goede supermarkt en banketbakker.
Zou het iedereen aanraden!

It would be our pleasure welcoming you back as our guests on your next trip to Crete & are always delighted to recommend the top places nearby worth to visit! Travel Regards, ThinkVilla Team.
Die Gruppe von acht Erwachsenen (50er) war rundum glücklich mit dem Objekt. Platz, Komfort, Sauberkeit und vor allem auch die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war zu jeder Zeit absolut vorbildlich.
Ein Mietauto ist zu empfehlen.
Die Gruppe wurde also über den gesamten Zeitraum bestens betreut.
