a lovely clean property in a great part of Almyrida, with spectacular views of the village and the sea. Being slightly elevated meant there was a nice sea breeze during the hottest part of the year. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfy. It was mainly quiet around the pool which was spotlessly clean. and we enjoyed the spacious and peaceful feel of the pool area.. A very enjoyable stay

The apartment was really nice and in a good location. The pool was great too and often felt like our own private pool. The balcony at the back was really spacious and the smaller balcony at the front was handy for sun in the late afternoon and evening. It was definitely helpful having two showers. Wendy was a fabulous host and was really quick to sort out any problems when they arose. The only downsides were the WiFi which was really poor and difficult with two teenagers!

We've had a wonderful 2wks in Almyrida and thought the apartment was lovely - the views were absolutely stunning and provided the perfect recouperation and relaxation. On arrival, there was a bit of a mix up, however Wendy responded to my text immediately and did her best to rectify the situation as quickly and best as was practically possible, which we greatly appreciated.The location was perfect, just a 5min walk to a great choice of tavernas, the beach, supermarket and bus stop. Everyone we encountered was exceptionally friendly and helpful and the resort felt extremely safe and family-friendly.We pretty much had the pool to ourselves for the duration of our stay and the (huge!) balcony/terrace was well equipped with sunloungers, table chairs etc.We did find that a couple of the air-conditioning remote controls needed new batteries and several light bulbs weren't working, but this was a minor thing. Overall, we would highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to return.(Travelled with a friend.)

Will definitely book to stay here next year again!

I've stayed here together with my family for two years in a row now and I think that says it all. The apartment is great, everything is very clean and of very good quality. Wendy is friendly and helpful and it is situated at a quite spot maximum of 5 minutes of walking distance from the beach. I've really enjoyed my stay here and it's definitely my go to spot in Crete.

Very nice and spacious apartment, spotless rooms. Close to a vice beach with great sea view. The open plan kitchen included a lot of small appliances in it, for example, a coffee machine, etc. Wendy is very friendly and helpful. Private parking is available.

Great apartment

Really lovely apartment, clean and modern. Had everything we needed. The pool was also brilliant. Almyrida is a super town, the beaches have shallow, warm water which is great for kids. I will just say the internet is really slow and unpredictable but that is a very minor gripe and by no means effected our holiday. We had an excellent time.

Lovely Quiet Location with spectacular views

A lovely cosy apartment in the most perfect location 10 minutes walk to the beach. Almyrida has everything you need for a relaxing break by the sea. The apartment is well equipped to cater for a family of 4. The pool was just what we needed and many times had it all to ourselves. We hired a car and visited Lake Kourna which was well worth the visit and Limnoupolis Water Park which was fantastic and not too busy. We also used the supermarket in Kalyves called EYNKA as it had everything you need at much lower price than the small local one. We will definitely return.

Fantastic stay

A blissfully peaceful apartment, yet only a short stroll to all of Almyrida’s fabulous beachside restaurants. Well equipped kitchen with quality appliances. A large, immaculate, shared pool which often felt private. Big sunny balcony accommodating a dining area plus 4 sun loungers, with a stunning view out over the bay, we looked forward to coming back to it in the evenings, plus a second smaller balcony to catch the last of the evening sun. Very decent supermarket just 2 mins walk, and all other amenities, shops, taxi rank, restaurants, fabulous sandy beaches within a 5-10 min walk. We loved the chilled vibe in Almyrida, beautiful beaches, great food and friendly people. Wendy was a super host, always responsive, answering all questions without delay, and accommodating our awkward arrival and departure times. An internet issue one day (a real crisis with 2 teenagers!) was sorted within minutes of texting, thank you Wendy! We would love to return.

First visit to Greece

We celebrated my husband’s 80th birthday during our stay. We loved the apartment it worked well for 2 couples. The climb up the hill was challenging but we managed, the view from the deck was worth the climb. If you want a cab you need to phone them, you cannot stop at their street side office and ask for a ride. The supermarkets in town are great but if you are looking for fresh meat you need to go to the next town, south west of Almyrida. We took the taxi and our driver was great, he waited while we shopped and even helped us return an article we had purchased to exchange for what we really needed. We loved the pool that was just below our deck, we never had to share it with other guests, it was like having our own private pool. It was quiet, and very comfortable. It was very warm while we were there and the air conditioner worked great. We had an issue with the wifi but Wendy rectified very quickly once she was notified. It’s a great apartment!

Family holiday in Almyrida

The property is in a ideal location, with great views as well as being only 5 minutes walk to the shops (supermarkets and clothes / jewellery etc), a good mix of bakeries, restaurants and the beach. It is also a good base if you are without a car but want to visit the beaches at Kalyves or Chania as there is a regular bus. There is also a good taxi service if you want to go to other villages. The property is up a short steep hill, which is an easy 1 minute walk when going down but harder when going back up in the heat! The accommodation is also ideal for a family. There are two bedrooms and importantly two showers/ toilets, one of which is ensuite. There is also lots of storage space. Having a washing machine was a useful bonus as we're all the cooking facilities. The balcony is spacious and had 4+ sunbeds and a large table - and did not feel crowded or overlooked. The shared swimming pool was quiet when we visited, with occasional use by others families who were staying in the apartments. It was good for both children to swim and play in but also do some exercise in. We would not hesitate to stay there again and gave 5* throughout for location, value and also communication with the owner.

Perfect apartment overlook ing the sea in Almyrida.--a short walk to the ocean and all the activities. The two bedroom apartment was perfect, both inside and outside. Since we now have a Cretan son-in-law, we will be going to Crete quite often and hope to use this apartment over and over again.

Upåklagelig

The apartment was exactly as we had expected and the view was impeccable. We were greeted by a sparkling clean apartment, and all the equipment was in place when we arrived. The bed, sheets and equipment in the bedrooms appeared to be new. We had challenges with the one air con, but within an hour there were professionals in place and sorted it out. Wendy was quick to respond, and gave a thorough introduction to everything we needed regarding the apartment and the area. We would definitely rent this apartment from Wendy again

What a fabulous stay!

The apartment is gorgeous with knock-out views. Comfortable beds, lovely terrace for eating on and playing games, great pool and poolside area. Excellent open plan kitchen. Wendy was straight forward and always in contact with us. Fabulous host. The patio area had enough sun loungers. There was by far enough, towels, bed linen, dishes, cutlery, cups, plates, you name it the apartment had plenty. everything was spotless. Some other review said the apartment needed TLC/updating! Where & what? This apartment is in a very private and quite spot but incredibly close to all the bars, restaurants and very sandy beach in Almyrida. We would highly recommend staying at this place while visiting Crete. It would be a fabulous choice.

We are a family of 4. This apartment had everything we could want in a holiday home and more. The views are stunning and we loved eating outside on the huge terrace. The very large pool is well maintained and never busy, a great spot to cool off. We really couldn't have wished for a better apartment in such a wonderful area of Crete. Wendy were so helpful right from the start and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed so that we could really enjoy our holiday. I highly recommend this apartment and would definately return here!

excellent séjour malgré quelques...........

Très beau séjour dans cette maison bien située avec une vue magnifique! Nous avons profité à fond de la piscine dont nous étions les seuls utilisateurs à cette période de l'année. Mais il a fallu fermer les yeux ( et se boucher le nez) dans les "salles de bains" ,extrêmement petites, odeur nauséabonde dans l'une d*elles.Nous avons demandé de changer au moins le rideau de douche, mais en vain!Dans les chambres, pas de couverture propre s'il avait fait plus froid.. Est-ce que Wendy aurait pu éviter les 2 jours de travaux bruyants sur le toit de la maison voisine?? Toutefois, nous ne nous sommes pas attardés sur ces détails et avons passé de magnifiques vacances, repas sur la terrasse, très calme...Almyrida est à recommander!!

Could be improved

I have been to Almyrida several times and after booking wished to tell friends living there the holiday address. Trying to elicit the address was like drawing teeth. Finally after several misleading or incomplete contacts I obtained the correct address not long before flight departure. Why? Firstly, the nice. Good location short walk to centre,shops beach, bars, restaurants. Great views from spacious balcony. Well kept pool . loads of loungers. Well equipped kitchen. Washing machine Fridge/freezer etc .all in good working order Some bottled water and fresh milk in fridge awaiting our arrival --- a nice touch. aircon very efficient (except in 2nd bedroom ) WiFi good and it came free,which was an unexpected bonus Secondly, the not so good.The flat is dated .some damp and smells originated from the first bathroom, where there is no ventilation to outside or extractor fan. There was no information pack--- a quick guide to how things work would have been handy eg. what to do with full rubbish bins. On a 2 week holiday but there was no, cleaning or linen change.Plenty of towels but many worn out. Dvd worked fine but could not get any Tv channels. Wendy said would send someone to sort it but nobody came --but this was no great deal This Accomodation could be greatly improved with a little TLC and better communication with guests. Not sure this going to happen though as the same comments often appear in previous reviews. A shame

Disappointed

The view from the terrace is fantastic however we found the apartment in need of some TLC. On our arrival one of the Air Con units was not working, one of the beds had broken slats and the oven was not connected properly and came away from the wall. We reported these to Wendy and they were fixed over the next few days. As mentioned in previous reviews the main bathroom (which is very small) has no ventilation or extractor fan so in constantly damp and smelly. The WIFI was intermittent and we had use of it for about 7 days out of the 14. The satellite TV is mainly Arabic or French stations with BBC world News being the only English Channel. We were woken at 7am every morning by the builders. Noise from the apartment below was also an issue, we could hear shouting, screaming and movement of furniture from the family that occupied it. The young boy from this apartment was constantly eating and dropping food into the pool. The final straw was when the water went off several times leaving us with no running water at all. The longest we had to endure this was for 36 hours and we had to use the water from the swimming pool to top up the toilet cisterns so we could flush the toilets. Eventually Wendy provided a solution by allowing us to visit another property she owns which was about a 45 minute drive away. In my opinion this is not the high quality accommodation as suggested in the property description. All in all a holiday to forget.

Dear Emma, We are disappointed that you are not happy with your stay in our apartment. Unfortunately, On the dates you have mentioned, there was a rare issue with both the mains water supply and the internet signal in the whole of the Almyrida region. We provided you with alternative facilities in another villa which is not in the affected area. At the time, you informed us you were more than happy with our efforts in remedy the situation. We were surprised to learn that you were seeking compensation after you have returned from your holiday. Within our capacity we did offer you compensation, but we are not able to agree to more compensations that you are seeking now. As a result, we were even threatened with a bad review. Please understand all of this happenings were as the result of force majeure, Events beyond our control. We will also like to point out that the faults that you have pointed out: eg: the air-con, the broken bed slats, the oven were all fixed immediately within the same day that you have complained. We did everything within our power to make sure your stay in our apartment were as comfortable as possible but the other events you mentioned were out of our control. I hope you understand.
