All I can say is 100% amazing property. Walking distance to many shops & restaurants. The property manager Christine was absolutely fabulous!!!!! We can wait to go back.
Canât say enough great things about the Villa, host, view and location. We had a family of 10 (toddlers to seniors) and used the full villa. The view was spectacular and convenient location to local beaches, Plaka and Elounda. We will definitely be back!
This is an exceptional villa with stunning views of Spinalonga and Plaka. The village of Plaka is delightful with lots of superb restaurants. Everyone was so friendly too.
Communication before and during our stay was amazing so a huge thank you to Suzanne and Christine.
We can't recommend this villa highly enough. We LOVED it.
This is simply paradise. I canât fault one thing about this property regarding location and facilities. Simply stunning!!!! Have visited several times now because I canât imagine staying anywhere else in Greece. Quiet-ish village location, friendly locals and a good spot to explore.
Our family had the most amazing time at this Villa. We spent 5 glorious nights, Christine was so helpful as the property manager, met us there and walked us through the house at the beginning of our stay. The views are incomparable, Plaka is very beautiful, and quiet. The pool is gorgeous, and if you love sunrises, words can't describe how beautiful the sunrise is here. It's a short walk to a beach and great restaurants/grocery. We would absolutely return, it was truly like a dream.
We arrived in Plaka late on a very windy night to be met by the lovely Christine who took us to the villa. It wasn't until the next morning that we appreciated just how beautiful the location is. The villa itself is very well equipped and was kept scrupulously clean by the visiting cleaner. Plaka itself is small and very friendly. We had a very relaxing 2 weeks and would not hesitate in returning.
An amazing house overlooking the sea, with a beautiful pool and great outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. We views from the house are spectacular. Very private house and so very quiet. The beach is a short 5 minute walk down at the end of the street. Restaurants and stores in the local town are ~10 min walk. Plenty of options for food. Easily accessible by car and easy private parking as well. The host (Christine) s wonderful and caring. She kept checking with us throughout the visit and is very responsive on WhatsApp. Hoghly recommend it. Definitely going back in the future.
The house is gorgeous, so spacious, clean, beautiful pool and with everything you need from condiments to linen. Christine our host is absolutely wonderful! Such a great communicator, met us at the property and took us through and has been an enormous help assisting with an item left there. If I could give her 100 stars I would, she is awesome. Only downside is we didnât stay long enough. Canât wait to go back.
Our family had a fabulous stay at Vill Crete Dreams in early April. Our ages ranged from 5 to 68, and there was something for all of us there. The villas was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. We awoke to magical views, had morning walks along the coast, took the boat trip to Spinalonga and a day trip to Knossos, visited several beaches within a 15-20 minute drive, played card games on rainy days, and took daily strolls into the village for dinner at a different restaurant every night. Because the season was just starting, we often had the restaurants to ourselves and were treated royally by the restaurant staff. Our time in Crete was too short. We will dream of returning to this special island someday.
This is a wonderful villa just above the sea and beach with uninterrupted panoramic views across to Spinalonga and along to Plaka. Complimentary beach sunbeds are available when staying at the villa. The village itself which is lovely ( 5-10 minutes walk ) has a good selection of quality restaurants together with several bars, shops and a couple of small supermarkets. The owner ( Susanne ) and manager ( Christine ) were very helpful and easy to deal with. Christine organised airport transfers for us together with a supermarket contact which delivered for our arrival although there was also a nice welcome pack provided. We also rented a small automatic car so we could explore a bit from a local company ( Eagle ) which they delivered to and collected from the villa at a good fully inclusive price and excellent service. We took a taxi one evening into the neighbouring town of Elounda which is also nice although we decided we preferred Plaka.
Overall we had a great time and thoroughly recommend the property to anyone wishing to visit this part of Crete.
the villa is very basic despite having a great view. when we arrived there was no pillows or duvets and we had to wait 2 nights before they were delivered. the manager lives 20 km away, and you need to rely on the service of the pool man who doesnt speak english.
There is no point staying in sometimes, as the TV has no english speaking channels apart from BBC world and there is no air condition in the sitting room
we even had workmen digging the garden right outside the kitchen window for 3 days. last year the water was cutting out constantly and the fridge broke down and had to wait for 2 days before it being fixed. the owner does not get involved with any issues related to your stay and insists on vacating in the morning even if your flight is 12 hours later. so you will need to walk around with your suitcases in 35 degree heat or choose to board the plan in your swimwear covered in sand and salt as a courtesy shower room can not be provided.
We arrived late at night and were given clear instructions about the villa access (01:00 hence no meet and greet). The taxi from the airport was booked by Christine and the driver present when we arrived. On arrival at the villa we could not sleep for another hour as the villa was stunning and exceeded our expectations. We met with Christine the following morning for introductions and if we were happy with everything. Christine was terrific, friendly, engaging and professional. The next twelve days were bliss. One restaurant in our mind stood out 'Ta Kymata' which is adjacent to the mini supermarket on the left. The wild mushroom risotto and a portion of french fries were fantastic. Being creatures of habit, well, we returned five times over the course of the twelve days. Aisa restaurant is great for lunches and near the beach. Back to villa. Everthing spotless, piping hot water, good power showers, very large patio area, fantastic pool, etc, etc. The view of Spinalonga and Plaka is unsurpassed. We will definitely return. Christine was a credit to her profession. Near the end of our vacation my wife fell ill (allergic to an Antibiotic course of medicine she was currently on) and i contacted Christine who without hesitation arranged for a doctor who arrived within two hours. My wife was much better after some prescriptive medicine. A big thanks to Christine. We won't forget that.
The villa is perfect with lots of space. The view out to sea and Spinalonga is amazing. Everything you need within a few minutes stroll including many restaurants, tavernas and bars, nice gift shops, small supermarkets and watersports on the beach
Was fĂŒr ein fantastisches Anwesen! Eine riesige Villa mit ganz viel Platz fĂŒr die GroĂfamilie, sensationellem Pool und ĂŒberwĂ€ltigendem Meerblick. Die Lage ist perfekt - das erste Haus am Hang, leicht erhöht und nur fĂŒnf Minuten zu FuĂ in den bezaubernden Ort Plaka mit seinen zahlreichen Restaurants. Und last but not least die immer erreichbare und sehr freundliche Christine, die uns wunderbar nett empfangen und jede erdenkliche UnterstĂŒtzung gegeben hat. Vielen Dank - wir werden mit Sicherheit wiederkommen.
The house was perfect for 8 adults. Everything about it was first rate. Pool and view were awesome. Manager Christine was so welcoming and helpful. Small village was an easy walk down the hill with lots of nice restaurants. Read âThe Islandâ before you come so you appreciate the view and tour of the Island. 5 stars
The checkin process was flawless, Christine was wonderful. The house was everything it was advertised, and the view was amazing. We would definitely rent this property again if we return to Crete.
Fantastisk dejlig rummelig villa med den dejligste beliggenhed
Vores store familie nĂžd en fantastisk dejlig ferie i en vidunderlig stor villa med fantastisk udsigt og beliggenhed. Meget serviceorienteret host og house keeper
We were a group of 7 adults and one baby. Villa Crete Dreams was perfect! We had plenty of room for all of us. The garden apartment was exactly what the family with the baby needed! Christina was so helpful! She arranged the perfect wine tour for the newlyweds in our group, had everything we needed for the baby, was excellent communicating with us and even suggested wonderful dinner ideas. The location is walking distance to Plaka and a short car ride to Elounda. The property was spectacular!! The pool was refreshing and the beach is seconds away. We will be back!!!
An absolutely fantastic villa, excellent facilities, excellent pool and and with stunning views overlooking Spinalonga. As always the service from the team was exceptional. Thank you so much for everything..
Great place but needs hot water for showers and a working toilet
The view was awesome. The issues we had were that none of the 5 bathrooms had hot water. In addition, one of the toilets in a separate apartment wasnât working. Not great for the couple staying there. They had to climb up steps and use one of the other bathrooms to shower. Otherwise, everything would have been wonderful.
The property was in a perfect area within walking distance to Plaka and all its restaurants, shops etc. The pool was very cold during stay but it was used by the brave! The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable but the first bedroom was lacking a decent size area to place clothing. We were very sad to leave and our thanks to everyone who helped us during our stay. Would have been nice if we had English channels connected to the TV's as mentioned in one write up on villa.
The property is in an excellent location, a 5 min walk to the beach, many taverns close by. The house was spotless and the pool and outdoor area was a perfect place to enjoy, eat meals or just lounge.
Will definitely come back again if we visit Greece.
I am the property managers for several very selected properties in different European countries continously and reliably since 2007. Please take a look at all the positive reviews on the properties I manage here. I very much look forward hearing from you!
Unique Location directly on the sea, in walking distance of the wonderful pitoresque fishing village of Plaka, unique individual interior design with tropical wood floor, colonial indian furniture pieces etc.
