Property is lovely and in a great location if you hire a car, as we did. Host was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
The Villa is wonderful, the host is a gracious gentlemen. The Villa is beautiful and has everything you need for a wonderful tranquil stay. We highly recommend this Villa for your next trip to Crete. Thank you Stelios!!!
It is a very lovely house, very well situated to visit Heraklion and other sites in the center of Crete.
Altough the house is in a village, it is very calm. Stelios, the owner, is very gentle and answers queries. We would definitely recommend it.
Absolute stunning house in the middle of a little Greek village. Everything was just perfect - so quiet and within beautiful Cretan nature. For trips to the beach or shopping tours you definitely will need a car but then you can expect a perfect stay
We have just returned from Villa Agrielia after having a wonderful and relaxing 14 days holiday. Many thanks to our hosts Stelios, Maria and family for your friendliness and hospitality helping us to enjoy our stay. The villa is beautifully decorated in a traditional stone wall and wooden ceiling style situated in a quiet village. It is an ideal base for exploring if you so wish, but car is essential if you are out every day. We made use of the bikes riding to Episkopi on several occasions and found people so friendly they really make you feel at home. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend the villa to family and friends.
Stelios and Maria were very welcoming and always available if we needed anything. The accommodation offered us everything we needed and was well located for trips to the beach, Heraklion and the airport. Some good recommendations from Stelios so try those out. We had welcome gifts when we arrived and Steliosâ parents next door also kindly dropped in some fruit. Enjoy the sounds of the countryside and the cicadas and make the booking. You wonât be disappointed.
We loved our stay at Villa Agreilia. It is large, very comfortable, well-equipped, and the pool and terrace area are stunning. Thoughtful provision of some fresh eggs, water, olive oil and raki. Extremely good and easy communication before and throughout our stay. Stelios also sent many excellent recommendations (shops, restaurants, beach clubs etc).
You definitely need a car but it is easy to get around and Villa Agreilia made the perfect base for exploring the north of the island. Very conveniently located for Heraklion airport (20 mins drive).
We wouldnât hesitate to recommend a stay here and were very sad when our holiday came to an end. Yamas Stelios and Maria!
We had the most wonderful week at the Villa, we could have stayed longer very easily. It offered everything we needed. You absolutely need a car but the neighbouring villages have lovey little restaurants and mini fruit and veg shops. Lidl is only 18 minutes drive and has everything you need.
The Cicada beach bar / restaurant / sunbeds was amazing well worth a visit and again only 15 mins away
Our hosts were incredible, super responsive and offered recommendations of restaurants, bars and beaches and ordered us taxis on departure.
We would love to return

My mom is from Crete and i have been many times. We have always stayed with family in Heraklion. This time we decided to rent a villa in a more quiet part of Heraklion. The villa was amazing and was exacttay as described. I loved the stone architecture throughout the villa and differently fit with the old world theme of the village. It was very spacious and my kids enjoyed the pool while I enjoyed the view. Village was small and quiet. Exactly what i was looking for. Far away from the main city but still close enough to get to the center and the beaches. Property manager, Stellios
The house is exactly as shown in the photos. The owner met us on arrival and showed us how everything worked. He and his wife had also left enough food for us to eat that night as our flight was in very late and the shops were closed. The property is very beautiful and private. You definitely need a car to get there and travel around. The surrounding village has supermarkets and a bakery. There are also several cafes and restaurants. It is only about 20 mins from the airport which was very handy. The villagers were very friendly and helpful. I know another reviewer mentioned the cicadas, which are very noisy but they are very noisy all
over Crete so hard to avoid.
On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful Stelios & Maria.
Welcome goodies where ready for us & the owners showed us around.
They were more than helpful to advise local authentic restaurants & places to visit.
The Mini-market had all we needed just a few minutes from the Villa.
The bikes were ready & any problems,
Stelios was on hand to sort.
This Villa was so beautiful inside & maintained to a very high standard throughout.
I can highly recommend for a relaxing break.
Thankyou for the most relaxing break I have had in years!!!!
Car recommend.
Thanks so much
I will be back!
Wir waren 10 Tage in der wunderschönen Villa von Stelios. Es war alles vorhanden und unser Gastgeber hat uns Nachts (1 Uhr) super herzlich empfangen und uns den KĂŒhlschrank fĂŒr das FrĂŒhstĂŒck befĂŒllt und sogar einen Wein bereitgestellt. Der Pool war super und alles sehr sauber! Wir hatten eine super Zeit und haben uns rundum wohlgefĂŒhlt. Auch bei Fragen konnten wir uns immer an ihn wenden und er hat sich direkt um eine Lösung gekĂŒmmert.
eine.
Die Villa Agrielia ĂŒberzeugt rundum. Wir waren mit 5 Personen zum Urlaub dort und haben uns sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt. Das GebĂ€ude ist nicht nur architektonisch schön, sondern auch gerĂ€umig und sauber. Auch die Lage ist angenehm: die Ortschaft selbst hat einen lĂ€ndlichen Charakter, Heraklion ist aber mit einer kurzen Autofahrt zu erreichen.
Der Vermieter ist ĂŒberaus entgegenkommend und hat uns vorab bereits zahlreiche Informationen zu Attraktionen, Einkaufs- und Essensmöglichkeiten der Umgebung zukommen lassen.
Stelios and his family met us at the property and showed us around. The villa is lovely with a perfect small pool, clean tidy and well provisioned. There was a religious festival one day and the neighbours were playing music late into the night - the rest of the week all was quiet and peaceful.
A couple of small problems were sorted out quickly and efficiently by Stelios after an exchange of WhatâsApp messages.
Thank you for a great stay
An incredible property with everything needed to enjoy Crete!
It was an exceptional experience. Stelios and his wife Maria are beautiful people providing everything needed to make the stay the best,
Absolutely will be back!
Das Haus ist sehr gerĂ€umig mit 3 groĂen Schlafzimmern, Wohn- und Esszimmer. Alles in einem rustikalen , âgriechischenâ Stil eingerichtet. Der Garten mit Pool ist sensationell. GenĂŒgend Platz zum Sitzen oder Liegen. Der Pool selbst ist nicht sehr groĂ, aber zum AbkĂŒhlen wunderbar.
Kurz: Sehr empfehlenswert, wir wĂŒrden wiederkommen!
We wanted somewhere with a pool near where our son was getting married but also not too far from Hereklion and coast.
A fantastic home, with all possible facilities and equipment you could wish for.
Stelios and Maria were amazing welcoming hosts and the ladies who came midweek carried out a thorough clean & linen/towel change.
Thank you very much. We would love to return.
Strongly recommend.
Weâve spent a week here and absolutely loved the villa. Itâs about 20 mins outside Heraklion and was a great base to explore the island.
The villa was well laid out for our family of 5 and had everything that we could need. The villa was very clean and the sheets were changed and another clean done mid week.
The pool was lovely and had the sun throughout the day.
Thank you for having us.
Die Villa bot unserer Familie (sechs Personen) ein wunderschönes griechisches Zuhause. Der architektonisch sehr ansprechende Wohnraum ist mit einem wunderschönen Naturstein gemauert und bietet genĂŒgend Raum zum Leben. Die Terrasse mit dem Pool ist einfach klasse und bietet einen schönen Blick auf die Olivenbaumhaine.
Die ruhige Lage im typisch kretischen Dorf hat uns sehr gefallen.
Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war absolut exzellent, sehr freundlich und wir wurden vorab mit klasse Tipps fĂŒr Tavernen und StrĂ€nde versorgt. Der Reinigungsservice war - top!
Alles in allem - fĂŒnf Sterne plus Sternchen :)
