Top Hotels Near Amari Dam Reservoir in Amari from NZ$77

"We had the most amazing stay from start to finish. We got there after midnight due to flight times, but were offered a guide to get us there or clear directions with a code for a key box. When we got there, the property had outside lights to guide us in and a fridge with a home cooked meal in, snacks, wine, olive oil and fruit. :-). So welcoming. The next day when we woke up we realised how beautiful the villa was and the views are just stunning. There is a twisty mountain road to get up to the villa but it’s very quiet. You’ll see more goats than cars. Take your time and enjoy the scenery and all is well. The pool was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable, the showers wonderful and it was very well equipped. The villa is within half an hour of Rethymno which is delightful. We were also within an easy drive of Knossos, Chania, Heraklion and Lake Kournas. One day however, we just stayed home and enjoyed the relaxation of the villa. :-)As we had a super late flight home and as no one was due to arrive the day we left, our hosts kindly agreed that we could stay way beyond the check out time and enjoy our last day without rushing. We stayed until 4pm and we are so appreciative of the kindness. We even received a parting gift. I cannot recommend Harkia Villas enough. Simply stunning. X. "

"Beautiful old village house tastefully converted with lots of original features and old artefacts adorning the walls and nooks and crannies. Several seating areas with shade so although it sleeps 8 there is space to find some peace and quiet if wanted. Lovely pool area. In a small village with a local taverna but nothing else. A car is needed to get to other villages or areas of interest and to the beach. The closest beach are send quite developed so we chose to drive a little further but found lovely beaches within a 30 minute drive. Rethymno old town is about 20 minutes drive. Maria the host was really helpful and the check in process smooth. Highly recommended!"
