Amazing family villa with breathtaking views
We spent a week at Villa Ourania as a family group of 13 including children. The villa is amazing. The view from the pool area is breathtaking and we spent many evenings watching the sunset. The villa is well equipped with many different eating areas to dine. Maria the owner was extremely attentive for any queries we had. We pre booked the private chef one evening who cooked a traditional Cretan meal for us. We would thoroughly recommend this - outstanding value and delicious food. Thank you Maria for sharing your wonderful property - we would love to come back again!

Beau séjour en Famille
Très belle villa accueillante propre et joliment décorée. La villa est très bien équipée. La vue est splendide. Toute est fait pour accueillir une grande famille (nous étions 17). Le gérant est disponible pour toutes questions ou besoins. Seul bémol: la villa est proche de la route qui est bruyante.

Traumhafte Villa mit grandiosem Ausblick
Schon weit vor der Anreise hat Maria mit mir Kontakt aufgenommen sich vorgestellt und alle Fragen beantwortet. Sie hat immer alle Anliegen innerhalb kürzester Zeit beantwortet und sich auch darum gekümmert. So eine Gastgeberin wünscht man sich. Die Villa an sich ist sehr schön und geräumig. Und erst die fantastische Aussicht. Das gesamte Anwesen ist sehr schön angelegt und sehr gut in Schuss gehalten, der Pool wird täglich kontrolliert. Oft sieht man Fotos im Netz und vor Ort sieht es dann ganz anders aus. Hier stimmen die Fotos und die Realität überein :-) Leider waren wir nur ein verlängertes Wochenende dort, ich hätte noch gut und gerne länger hier verweilen können

Schönes Haus, perfekt für große Gruppen
Wir waren insgesamt 20 und haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen. Das Haus ist perfekt um die Seele baumeln zu lassen, Party zu machen oder Tagesausflüge zu unternehmen. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet, für 20 Leute könnte es allerdings etwas mehr Geschirr geben. Ansonsten war alles wunderbar. Gerne wieder :))
