Absolutely beautiful vacation in a great villa

The villa was amazing. Just like in the photos. Well located between Elafonisi and Falassarna and still very quiet. The view from the villa was wonderful. The pool was the best we have ever had. We really enjoyed the daily cooling off. Our landlord always took great care of us. If we had any questions, we were served very quickly. Only the cleaning staff were not always completely reliable when it came to scheduling. We had a wonderful holiday and can definitely imagine coming back again.

Fantastic holiday in beautiful accommodation

We can wholeheartedly recommend this holiday home and have already stayed here twice
Even before the holiday, we had very pleasant communication with the landlord, were provided with all the important information and felt very well looked after. On site, we were very positively surprised by the dreamlike property: the garden, the pool as well as the house are in a very well-kept condition and furnished with love for detail. There is a separate bathroom for each room and the living room invites you to stay even in cooler temperatures.
Detailed information about the house, the surroundings and possible restaurants, as well as local contacts, have been compiled in a small welcome folder.
To get to the highlights of the area, as well as to the restaurants and shopping, you need a car. If you need help with this, you can also contact the landlord with confidence.
We were very satisfied all around, had a wonderful holiday week and are already looking forward to another holiday in this wonderful house

Very pleasant holiday!

We had a wonderful holiday in the "oasis of peace". The sunset is indescribable and takes your breath away every evening, just like the starry sky once the sun has set. The way to the villa is always easier to find and it is possible to reach a beach on foot where you are as good as alone. We were different types of holidaymakers and there was something for everyone and every need was met. The room with the large balcony is stunning as you can watch the sunset from your bed and look out to sea when you wake up in the morning. The woman who drives from villa to villa and is available for any questions is very helpful and exceptionally friendly, as is the host. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return next year.

Relaxing holiday

We spent 2 weeks in this beautiful holiday home. The rooms are very nicely furnished and each guest has their own privacy. The view of the sea is wonderful and you can really take a deep breath. We made great excursions, ate delicious food in the tavernas, and the beach in Elafonisi was still nice and empty at the beginning of May. The landlords are very nice and accommodating, the food on the day of arrival was very tasty. The house was cleaned three times, the beds made and the towels changed, a very good service. All in all, we were more than satisfied and didn't want to go home!

Switch off and relax!

We can recommend this house to anyone looking for peace and quiet in an authentic landscape (bathing, hiking, mountain biking, etc.). The location of the house guarantees a beautiful sunset and we liked the furnishings very much. If you cook for yourself, be sure to buy the basics on arrival, as the mini markets in the vicinity are rather modest (15 - 40 minutes by car). We can also recommend the delivery service for dinner (order the day before necessary!). The large pool had very good water quality with no chlorine smell). The equipment is very good and everything worked perfectly! The contact persons on site were very service-oriented and friendly. The house was also very clean, cleaned once (in 1 week) and the (bed) linen changed. Conclusion: Here you are far away from mass tourism and are - if needed - still well looked after.

The house, the view, the peace! A holiday as it should be!

First things first: the house is fantastic!
The location, the view, the peace!
The landlord promises nothing too much: the house offers a lot of space and is comfortably furnished. Every room has access to the garden or a terrace
The very large swimming pool is a real highlight

The landlord is very customer-oriented; our questions were answered promptly every time
In addition, we received many valuable tips on restaurants and excursion destinations, which made it very easy for us to find our way around the region

If you are looking for a house away from the tourist centres, you will feel in good hands here.

Perfect holiday

We had a very nice, relaxing holiday in an absolutely quiet location. The house is well maintained and the pool is very spacious. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The house is very well equipped for 6 people. Since the next bigger supermarket is 1 hour away by car, you should stock up generously with food when you move in. The nearest secluded beaches are close by and a taverna is only 10 minutes away by car. We would stay here again at any time and can only recommend the house.

Wonderful stay! We recommend!

Your experience: Beautiful and spacious house! Our 2 families (4 adults and 4 children) had a perfect stay there! Quiet, beautiful pool, stunning view... and only 20 minutes from the magnificent Elafonisi beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete (we went there almost every day!).
You may be far from civilization (the nearest town of Kissamos is 1 hour away), but here restaurants will deliver your meals to you (delicious and inexpensive!) and you can find mini-markets about 20 minutes away.
Very good service, the staff who take care of the various villas in the area are quite responsive in case of any issues.
In short, we recommend! Thank you Karl!

Fantastic peace, beautiful house

We were travelling with friends and had a fantastic week! The house is beautifully situated on a hillside with a wonderful view of the sea and nature. The house is fully equipped and has a very nice room layout. High ceilings, made of tree trunks and wooden floorboards in combination with the traditional stone walls create a beautiful atmosphere. You feel at home in the house and also on the property right from the start
Immediately after arriving in the evening, we were able to sit on the terrace and enjoy the sunset and our welcome dinner.
The service on site was friendly and courteous. The Kirchgesser family had already given us some great tips for excursions and restaurants. Many thanks for the great time!

Oase der Ruhe - wer kann den Namen toppen?

...wir sind angekommen und haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt, ein schmackhaftes Abendessen war schon angerichtet und die Urlaubsstimmung augenblicklich da. Für unsere Enkelin standen Babystuhl und Kinderbett bereit. Zeit ins Bett zu gehen? Nöö, noch nicht! Zuerst mal die herrlich leichte Luft von Kreta auf der Terasse geniessen und Sterne zählen. So ruhige Nächte gibt es nur hier, im Westen und Süden der Insel und fernab von Touristenzentren...
Herzerwärmend war die Sorge unseres Vermieters wegen eines (gar nicht so schlimmen) Stromausfalls, denn unsere Enkelin, 10 Monate alt, musste mal ein wenig auf ein warmes Frühstück warten; doch wir hatten, den Empfehlungen unseres Gastgebers folgend, alles Notwendige am Abend der Anreise eingekauft. Nun, Empfehlungen und Tipps von solchem Umfang hat uns bisher noch kein Gastgeber zukommen lassen, so dass genau deswegen der ganze Urlaub aus Ruhe, Freude und Erholung bestand. Eigentlich hätte man gar nicht täglich wegfahren müssen, so schön war unser Feriendomizil.

Danke für die schöne Zeit...
Helmut Götter (und die ganze Familie)

Wundervolle Ferien

Ein herrlicher Ort zum Entspannen und Abschalten. Von der erhöhten Hanglage hat man einen herrlichen Blick über das Meer und die vorgelagerten Olivenhaine.

Das Haus selbst ist in einem tadellosen Zustand und sehr sauber. Die hohen von Baumstämmen getragenen Holzdecken in Kombination mit Natursteinmauern verleihen dem Haus einen besonderen Charme und eine besondere Note. Wir haben uns direkt wohl gefühlt.

Traumhafte Ferien in wunderschöner Umgebung

Wir haben eine Woche lang das Haus nur zum Einkaufen verlassen. Herrliche Ruhe, fantastischer Blick über das Meer und Olivenhaine! Tagsüber haben wir den großen Pool genossen, der durch seine Abmessungen auch zum Schwimmen taugt. Am Abend hat Ioanna für uns gekocht und wir haben es uns in unserem eigenen Reich auf der Terrasse bei Sonnenuntergang, Wein und leckerem Essen gut gehen gelassen. Für uns war es Entspannung und Erholung pur in privater Atmosphäre. Nächstes Mal bleiben wir länger!

Die "Oase der Ruhe" hat ihrem Namen alle Ehre gemacht, wir kommen wieder!

Das Ferienhaus ist ein absoluter Traum und wir können es zu 110% weiterempfehlen! Der Meerblick aus jedem Zimmer ist atemberaubend, jeden Abend kann man einen spektakulären Sonnenuntergang beobachten. Der große Pool ist perfekt zum schwimmen am Morgen. Der Service lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig, auf Wunsch wird einem sogar das leckere griechische Essen direkt ins Haus geliefert. Wer abseits vom touristischen Trubel Erholung und Privatsphäre sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall nächstes Jahr wieder!

Wir würden diese wunderschöne Anlage jederzeit wieder buchen. Top-Standard mit grosszügigem Platzangebot. Etwas abgeschieden von den Hot-Spots Kretas bietet diese Villa eine ideale Plattform zur Erholung und dem Geniessen der Ruhe. Die Aussicht ist genial westwärts gerichtet mit einmaliger Sicht auf atemberaubenden Sonnenuntergänge. Wir durften einen romantischen Urlaub geniessen.

5***** beautiful villa with friendly service

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the house and the surroundings very much. The garden, the pool area and the house is very beautiful and the house is fully equipped. We loved the perfect view over olive groves, the kap katsoulas and the ocean. In case you will go there do not forget to ask for the telescope: watching stars and moon in the night is exciting in this retreat!

The villa is perfect if you wish to enjoy Crete away from the very touristy places. The villa is the best place we have stayed in Crete so far.

Thank you to Marios and Ioanna for taking care of us!

Unsere Kinder (15 und 16) hatten eigene Zimmer, der große Pool war ideal zum Schwimmen am frühen Morgen. Wenn wir nicht gerade mit unseren Bikes unterwegs waren, haben wir die Ruhe am Haus genossen. Für uns ein perfekter Urlaub in einer perfekten noch ursprünglichen Landschaft. Wir kommen wieder!!

Tolles Haus, tolle Lage: ein kleines Paradies auf Erden!

Wir fahren seit Jahren zusammen mit Freunden in Urlaub. Das Haus ist eines der Besten, das wir bisher gebucht haben. Alles neuwertig und sauber. Die Aussicht ist beeindruckend. Durch die etwas erhöhte Hanglage öffnet sich ein schöner Blick über Meer und Olivenbäume. Abends haben wir das Farbenspiel der Sonnenuntergänge am eigenen Pool genossen. Tagsüber haben wir kleinere Ausflüge zu den paradiesischen Stränden in der Umgebung gemacht oder uns einfach am Haus aufgehalten. Die Ruhe ist in der Tat außergewöhnlich. Nach kurzer Zeit hat man sich daran gewöhnt und entspannt herrlich während man weiter unten das Meer rauschen hört und der Wind durch die Olivenbäume streicht.
Für uns alle waren es unvergessliche Ferien!

Wonderful Villa with stunning sea view, perfect relaxed holidays

We were looking for something different as we were tired from the rush in hotel and found a perfect match. The house sits on a hill side and offers panoramic sea views. It is a very quiet place, no traffic noise, no rush at all. The villa itself is absolute 5 star and money worth. The place is quiet and tranquil, you can listen to the waves in the distance, no traffic noise at all. The days were excellent, but we loved the evenings enjoying perfect sunsets while having a glass of wine on the pool terrace.
Although we could have stood the entire days on our terrace, enjoying the blue of sky, ocean and pool, we made some unforgettable trips to the perfect beaches which can be reached after a short drive. Elafonisi und Falassarna are breathtaking unspoiled beaches, but we loved too the private bays you can find everywhere.
