The accommodations were delightful, and the surrounding vistas were breathtaking. The neighboring towns offered a charming ambiance.
The hosts demonstrated professionalism and respected our privacy.
Although the villa was modest in size, it provided all the necessary amenities for a family of four. The swimming pool was a remarkable feature. Overall, it was a successful holiday. We express our gratitude for the opportunity to reside in your esteemed villa.
My wife and I stayed 9 nights at Bay View Villa1, and wished we could have stayed longer. The villa is compact, not overlooked and perfect for two people, but could easily house four. It has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The view over Souda Bay is incredible. A short walk will take you to the village of Kokkino Chorio with its friendly taverna and well stocked shop. We spent most of our time chilling by the lovely pool, but occasionally ventured out to the nearby coastal village of Almyrida, where there were a number of very good restaurants by the sea. We particularly liked Thalami and Psaros, but there were plenty more to try. Almyrida also had an excellent pharmacy, where all the staff spoke English. If we ever came to this part of Crete again, we would definitely stay at Bay View Villa 1.
2eme fois que nous venons dans cette maison, la vue est digne d'un rêve, couchers de soleil uniques, possibilité de garer une auto très facilement, respect total de notre intimité, Dimitris est un hote précieux, il est serviable, a l'écoute, très réactif, et d'une aide inégalable, nous le remercions infiniment pour ce séjour qui est passé trop rapidement.
Ein hübsches kleines Haus mit einem recht großen Pool.
Der Blick ist wunderschön und wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen.
Am Anreisetag haben wir eine ausführliche Wegbeschreibung von den Vermietern erhalten und wurden bei der Ankunft sehr nett persönlich begrüßt.
Alles in allem super. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und werden bestimmt wiederkommen.

...wir haben leider den Fön nicht gefunden
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour et bien profité de la maison et surtout de la piscine éclairée jusqu’à 24h30 et avec en plus possibilité de mettre en route 2 buses de jacuzzi. Très belle vue de la terrasse qui donne sur la piscine et en arrière plan la mer à perte de vue. Propriétaires très sympathiques, qui donnent de bons conseils et qui sont très discrets.
Jolie maison qui possède toutes les commodités. La piscine est très bien entretenue et la vue est juste magnifique ! Le parking privé est vraiment un plus. Les hébergeurs sont très discrets et disponibles (réactifs lors de nos échanges). En résumé je recommande ce petit coin de paradis qui permet véritablement de se ressourcer !

Peaceful location with stunning views. Fantastic pool. Loved it & would book again!
We had a fantastic holiday in this house, which was in a beautiful and tranquil place. The views were stunning day and night - we spent hours on the balcony. Fantastic pool with jets and lovely outdoor space. The house was small but well kitted out and we were outside all the time! The air conditioning in the bedrooms was very welcome. The very generous welcome pack was much appreciated. The house and the pool were cleaned regularly. It is isolated and you need a car but we loved that. We would definitely book again - thank you!
Dimitris is the owner of the house and he is continuing his father dream to come back to this village and build “Bay View Villas” in this remarkable place of Crete. He is working as a lifeguarded and he dreams a lot of journeys around the word by ship … Anthi is Dimitris’s good friend and neighbor, who is helping him with her good knowledge of English and of the opportunities of “Incredible Crete”! She is a civil engineer and she loves the beach and the vital sun of Greece.

What makes this property unique
Bay View Villas stands on the a quiet, peaceful position, where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the mountains, admire the colorful sunset by the swimming pool and watch the lights twinkle at night all around the bay. The house has the large and private outside area, which provide for both sun and shade. The terrace is equipped with an ample supply of garden furniture such as tables, chairs, umbrellas and sun-loungers. Because the outside dining terrace and the pool terrace are both blessed with spectacular views, we find that most of our guests spend the majority of their time eating and relaxing outside. At one end of the marble edged pools there is a built-in bench situated next to hydro massage jets. This may be most enjoyable at night when romantic couples could experience a relaxing hydro massage whilst sipping a cocktail and looking out over the moonlit bay. A small grassy lawn next to the pool terrace is ideal for younger family members to play whilst their parents relax.
