5.0 star property

"We had an amazing time in the hotel. Thanks to all the staff for making it great. The facilities are wonderful. The views are outstanding, especially at night. I love the cabanas at the beach. They have different foods each night in the buffet restaurants. The food is great with a wide range to suit everyone. Feels everything in the hotel is done with thought, and care for the well-being of the guests. We checked in really late at night with Manus at the desk to assist us with the check-in. He...

"After I checked in, the manager/owner was nowhere to be found, although, he posted his phone number on the glass of his office for emergency. There was no one around to reset the wi-fi after so many blackouts. I was unable to use the internet during my 7 days of stay. Housekeeping was so bad that no one to change the towels or bed sheets.

"Felt so lucky to find Valley View Lodge! If you’re looking for a place away from the tourist areas with quaint small village charm, this is it. Not much happening in the village but a walk around gives a feel for the quiet life away from the coast. Eat at the Golden Cage for dinner, the only restaurant in the old part of town. Good food and eclectically decorated. The lodge was comfortable, with a lovey balcony for lounging. It is just as pictured. The stairs are a little tricky but easily...

"We read reviews in a few places and this property will not disappoint. Let’s start with the negatives….some have said because there are the odd cables hanging down and the odd cables sticking up through the floor this is enough to not make it known as a luxury villa. Yeah sure IF comparing to a 5 star hotel maybe…but this IS a luxury villa, the décor, furnishings, finishes and location make it all of that and more. Given what other properties look like this is unbelievably nice. The hosts were...

"My family and I had never travelled to Crete prior to this holiday but after a short period of searching we decided to book this villa due to its location and the impression given on the listing. We were definitely not disappointed, the villa is magnificent with 5 perfectly decorated and equipped bedrooms, open plan living areas and connecting kitchen leading out to the pool. Eva and her husband Atonis were the perfect hosts providing information as requested and making sure we were comfortable...
