"The best part of the hotel is the private pool. It’s a small oasis, surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. You can truly feel the calmness and positive energy of the place. The design is extraordinary — everything inside the house is beautifully thought out and well designed. We even had an outdoor bathroom, which was a wonderful touch. Fay welcomed us warmly — she is incredibly kind and always ready to help with anything. She was always available whenever we needed tips or assistance. The cleaning lady, Ioanna, was also perfect — very kind and attentive, making sure everything was always in perfect order."

"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. "

"Great villa in a village with good amenities. The pool is nice with a fabulous view, and there are numerous spaces to relax and eat around the villa at different times of the day. Check in/out was very easy and the host was very prompt with help to sort out any issues."

"We had a wonderful experience in the house. It was very clean and comfortable. It was the best equipped vacation we ever stayed in. The property manager was an amazing host. We highly recommend this property!"

"Mikanos was an extremely friendly and engaging host. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is perfect i.e. about 2 minutes from the small town, not too quiet not too busy....goldilocks. One of a couple of places in the world we've been to that we'd return to"

"I don’t normally write reviews but Hotel Minos was an excellent experience all around "
