Alles wird von dem Gastgeber sehr gut gepflegt Die Gastgeber-Familie selber ist sehr aufmerksam und fürsorglich und versucht, den Aufenthalt für die Gäste so schön wie möglich zu machen.Wir hätten auf Kreta für unseren Urlaub keinen schöneren Ort finden. können"

"The house itself was lovely, clean, well-equipped, lovely outside spaces with lots of options to sit and relax. The pool was great, we paid extra to have it heated and the whole family were in and out all week. Location was good, you need a car but there’s plenty to do in the area. Biggest bonus though was Eva and her incredible hosting, we arrived in the evening after a delayed flight to a beautiful home cooked meal, homemade cake and ann incredibly well stocked fridge. So completely beyond anything I’ve seen from a host before. She also provided a wealth of recommendations for places to eat, where to park, the best beaches to suit our young family. And even suggestions of what to do based on the weather. Thank you so much Eva for making our holiday super easy!"

"The most perfect holiday rental. From the hosts generosity, to the location and beautiful property, it was idyllic. "

"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. "

"A Perfect Start to a Relaxing HolidayWe had a truly lovely time at the villa. Everything was exactly as described – clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. We were greeted with a thoughtful gift basket and a delicious evening meal, which was such a lovely touch to kick off our stay. It really set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Highly recommended – we’d definitely return!"

"Thank you so much Zacharias for a relaxing 11 nights in your beautiful villa. We had the best time and from first booking the villa to leaving the villa, your kindness and helpfulness was amazing. Your villa is so peaceful and in a lovely country setting but within easy reach of local tavernas and shops. Thank you for the lovely meal, drinks etc which greated us on arrival and thank you for the kind gifts on leaving. We will definitely return. Amazing holiday in a beautiful villa "

"This modern villa is spotlessly clean throughout with panoramic views in every direction. Even from inside the Villa the view through the windows changes each day like a living painting. It’s spectacular. The grounds are completely enclosed and child friendly with plenty of space for kids to play and adults to chill. The gardens are very well maintained and watered, if you’re from the UK think of a national trust garden with Mediterranean plants. It is also very well lit in the evenings with the BBQ dining area overlooking the top half of Crete (not exaggerating) being one of the gardens hi-lights.The Villa feels secluded in it’s own hillside setting but is at most a 7 minute drive back down to shops, bars, restaurants and the beach. So on those sweltering afternoons where the heat of the coast is getting too much, in 10 minutes you can be in your own gorgeous pool with a mountain breeze. Perfect!Eleni deserves her own 5* review but I’m running out of space! A flawless host who is kind, caring, quick to respond to any messages and super friendly. Thank you Eleni! There are no downsides, the beds are comfy, the pool is sparkling, the garden is stunning, the water pressure is great, the wifi is fast, I could go on and on.Stop searching now and book this place, you wont regret it and you’ll never want to leave.Thank you so much!
