"As a family, we have spent our vacations in many vacation homes, and our stay at Villa Manouski was by far one of the best. Rarely have we had such a courteous, helpful, and friendly host (and probably the best lemon cake in Crete). The house and pool were exactly as pictured online, and everything was very well maintained and clean. We felt so comfortable that we would come back anytime!"

"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. "

"Everything was fine. It would have been good to have milk and bread at the house when we arrived at 2am. Loved the meal that was left for us. Clean house. Thank you, Roger and Hazel."

"Quiet and quirky. Everything one needed. Excellent for hiking trips. One needs a car. Very good breakfast."

"Fantastic! Beautiful views, charming decor, refreshing pool. The house has everything you need for a great vacation, and the hosts make sure to help you with any questions like the nearest grocery store or nearby tavernas. "

"Great out of the way location. The villa is clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was good. Loved it."

"This place is a piece of heaven and the pictures don't do justice. The hosts are incredibly nice and always checked and made sure we are happy and have everything. The house inside is beautiful ( traditional cretan) and clean with lots of space, confortable beds, very cool compared with other places we've stayed. Yes it has AC but we didn't have to use it after a hot day at the beach. Brilliant location for visiting lots of places, amazing view and privacy, good size swimming pool and a incredible wildlife around the house and the lake. We just spent evenings in the garden listening to the birds and other animals around. The house has its own cat( Skia) - which means Shadow which is so lovely and polite. Nikos it's the best host and such an incredible guy and for that reason we highly recommend this place. Thank you guys for having us, will miss you lots. See you again in 11 monthsLove Andrea and George "
