We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful villa. The villa itself is stunning and extremely well looked after, with housekeeping and pool maintenance twice a week. The owners are exceptional hosts - the house was fully stocked with everything we needed (and more) and we were treated with gifts of bread, pastries and cookies from their bakery during our stay - a real treat.
The surrounding area is very quiet but with a local restaurant, supermarket and the owners’ bakery within walking distance and Chania only a short drive away, the location was perfect for us.
We had a wonderful holiday and definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Villa Olira was absolutely stunning. It was everything we expected and if not more. Extremely clean, plenty of space and all the mod cons you need for a stay in Crete. The villa was well stocked with food, condiments, coffee tea etc when we arrived which was a really lovely surprise. What made our stay extra special were our hosts, we couldn’t expect anything less from local hospitality. The regular deliveries of pastries, bread and spanakopita was always a welcome delight. Highly recommended and will definitely make your trip extra special.
Georgios zorgt vanaf het eerste contactmoment dat alles prima verloopt en dat je vakantie zo comfortabel mogelijk en aan jouw verwachtingen voldoet. Villa Olira is warm, ruim, huiselijk en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het ligt in een klein dorp, maar dichtbij de vele stranden aan de noordkust en Chania. Naast dat het huis een fijne indeling heeft is het ingericht met oog voor detail. Op elke kamer ervaar je een heuse hotelervaring door extra’s als luxe handdoeken, badjas, shampoo ect, tv en airco. De master bedroom heeft zelfs een wijnkoelkast.
Bij aankomst zorgen Vasilis en Maria voor de persoonlijke touch en dat het je aan niets ontbreekt. De keuken is volledig uitgerust en de koelkast en fruitmand zijn gevuld, samen met traktaties uit hun eigen bakkerij.
Tijdens onze vakantie hebben we vis besteld bij een collega van Vasilis. Een aanrader! Breed aanbod van dagverse vis die we hebben bereid op de bbq van de villa. Ook hebben we via Georgios een boot aan de zuidkust gehuurd. Scherpe prijs en een mooie manier om een deel van Kreta via het water te ontdekken.
Als je van een zorgeloze vakantie met Griekse gastvrijheid wil genieten, dan ben je bij Villa Olira aan het goede adres. We hebben een heerlijk ontspannen vakantie met de kinderen gehad. Een vakantie om niet snel te vergeten.
ευχαριστώ Esther, Jan Frans, Ella en Michele, Lennart en Pepijn
