Charles, Canada

La Villa est magnifique, moderne, bien équipée et spacieuse pour un groupe de 8 personnes comme nous l’étions. C’est aussi un endroit très bien tenu par l’hotesse qui prend un soin évident de l’habitation et du terrain avec le désir qu’elle soit dans un état impeccable pour les personnes qui y résident. Crystallenia offre en outre un service attentionné à ses visiteurs qu’elle prend la peine d’accueillir et d’informer sur toutes les commodités du lieu et des alentours. La villa est située à quelques minutes de Gouves et de la plage, mais est suffisament à l’écart pour qu’on y retrouve le calme et la paisibilité. L’endroit est aussi très sécuritaire et l’immense terrain est cloturée et privé et fort agréable. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et les moments passés dans la Villa nous ont permis de cuisiner, de manger en famille et de nous détendre. Nous y retournerions avec grand plaisir!

Great October break

We all loved our stay here and Krystallenia was great to deal with every step of the way. Really quick at answering any questions and did some nice touches like the welcome to the house with food and drink. There were 12 of us staying and everything was great. 20 minute walk to the beach which was very nice. Pool was crystal clear. We loved the basketball area and used this a lot. If going later in the season like us I would recommend paying to have the pool heated (as we did). Without it, it would have felt very cold. I imagine in the hotter months it would be lovely to cool down in. Would happily go there again. Thanks

Wonderful villa with amazing outdoor space and great pool.

Crystallenia was the most perfect host, nothing was too much trouble and the little bakery gifts were very welcome. So much space in the villa although we spent most of our time outside, favourite spots being the table under the trees and of course the pool area. The villa was very well equipped and everywhere was kept very clean. A truly relaxed and enjoyable holiday.

We received a very warm welcome when arriving at the holiday house by the owner. She gave us a detailed introduction to the house and the facilities, which are great! The house is perfect for bigger families or groups traveling together. The view from the pool and terrace is amazing. It’s a big property which is great for barbecues in the evening and for kids to play. The service is extraordinary! The house was cleaned halfway through our stay and we received extra equipment for the kids traveling with us. Thanks a lot for the great stay and warm welcome. We can definitely recommed this accommodation!

We had a wonderful 12-day stay at this Airbnb in Crete. The accommodation was clean, beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable, which made for an amazing stay
Crystallenia was friendly and responsive, providing helpful recommendations for local attractions and dining options. The location of the Airbnb was convenient, with easy access to beaches, historic sites, and charming towns.

Felicity, U.K.

We have just returned home from a 10 night stay with a family of 11. I don’t even know where to start! Crystallinity’s place was perfect!
We had such a warm welcome with some refreshments and she took so much time to talk us through everything with local recommendations and a tour of the house and grounds which are absolutely stunning!
The villa itself is so clean and spacious and the rooms are exactly as pictured. We spent plenty of time around the pool which was perfect and had many a BBQ at night.
Anything we needed, crystallenia was always so prompt in getting back to us with any questions we had.
Taxis are so easy to get from the villa (there’s a little qr code you scan and it knows where you are) but they are relatively expensive (€12 for a 6 min drive) but on the coast there are plenty of restaurants (the island and two friends were our favourite) with beautiful views.
I would definitely recommend crystallinas place, everything was perfect and loved every minute of it!

One of the most amazing villas in Crete. The whole family (3 generations) stayed in the villa for a week. Everything was clean, the rooms and bathrooms are great. The view is amazing. The villa has all the amenities.
Even a dedicated workout room. Pingpong, basketball, sitting areas and shade, there’s things to do to keep everyone (especially the kids) occupied.
The pool is very big and clean and was heated. The kids had a blast in the water even though we went very early in the season (March).
The host was amazing and very welcoming.
I highly recommend this villa for an enjoyable vacation.

Wir (7 Personen) hatten einen wunderschönen und unvergesslichen Aufenthalt in der Villa Four Season. Wir wurden so herzlich empfangen von Crystallenia und sie nahm sich ausgiebig Zeit uns alles zu zeigen und erklären. Sie gab uns wertvolle Tipps für Ausflüge und wo man gut essen kann. Die Villa hatte alles was das Herz wünschte und wir wurden mit regionalen Köstlichkeiten empfangen. Es war alles sehr gepflegt, liebevoll eingerichtet und 2 mal in 14 Tagen kam eine Hausreinigung. Sie hat uns eine Autovermietung organisiert mit Bring- und Abholdienst zur Villa. Alles hat reibungslos geklappt. Wir können den Aufenthalt in der Villa wärmstens empfehlen. Auch das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt sehr gut. Ein aussergewöhnliches Erlebnis war auch der Chefkoch, der uns an einem Abend ein köstliches Dinner zauberte. Vielen herzlichen Dank für all die schönen Erlebnisse und Betreuung.

Crystallenia is one of the best hosts we’ve ever met and our family has traveled quite a bit! She is kind and welcoming with provisions available for us when we checked in – this was so handy as we have young kids and we were delayed getting to the villa late at night. We had some issues with the car rental and she tried to help the best she could, just a gem of a person! The villa is spectacular with views of Dia island from the pool/yard. Very comfortable home for our party of 8! A car is needed as it is somewhat remote and you need to drive to get to restaurants, etc but the town and supermarkets are within a 5-7min drive. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it for a relaxing vacation.

Villa Four Seasons was perfect for our extended family, who stayed for a week in July. The 6 bedrooms gave us the space we needed, whilst the pool, gym, table-tennis, table football and basketball provided all we needed to keep the younger generation occupied whilst the adults relaxed in the sun/shade of the garden. The villa itself was absolutely spotless, beautifully finished and cool – we were there during a heatwave. When we did manage to drag ourselves away from the villa , Knossos, Heraklion, aquarium, water-parks and the beach were a short drive away. Our host, Crystallenia, couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming despite our flight being delayed for 10 hours. She was on hand to answer all our questions and provide helpful suggestions. Highly recommend.

The villa was even better than the pictures, lovely view from the infinity pool. Crystallenia was an absolutely amazing host, very welcoming, she organised a chef to come to the villa for dinner and a boat trip for us which were both great! Lovely surprise to have the cleaners come mid-stay and refresh all towels and linens, plus clean the villa.

We had a great time. The villa is gorgeous and has every single facility you could ever need – including a Nespresso coffee machine, a large and fully equipped kitchen, a really comfy sitting room and a huge and well kept outside space. The pool is an excellent size. It’s not heated – which is obviously great in mid-summer, but a bit chilly in October when we were there. Crystallenia – the owner – could not have been more helpful. She was really concerned for us when our flights were interrupted by the recent storms/mudslides – and offered us a free night back at the villa if our flight was cancelled (it wasn’t in the end!). She is extremely thorough – and helped us to arrange trips, a visiting chef and taxis. She also has some nice restaurant recommendations. The location has great views. It’s a very pleasant walk to the shops/bars/restaurants during daylight – but we would advise a cab back in the evening as the roads are a bit uneven and dark. Highly recommended – and thank you, once again, to Crystallenia.

Tolle Villa, super Gastgeberin, klare Empfehlung

Wunderbare Villa, ruhig gelegen aber mit Mietwagen oder Taxi gut zu erreichen (ca. 15 min vom Airport) alles war sauber und gepflegt. Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von neun Personen dort und hatten gut Platz (2-3 Schlafplätze mehr wären ohne Probleme möglich gewesen). Ganz besonderes Lob an die Gastgeberin Crystallenia, sie hat uns einen herzlichen Empfang bereitet und uns wahnsinnig viele Tipps und Empfehlungen gegeben. Einige von diesen sind wir gefolgt und waren nie enttäuscht. Die Kommunikation vor und während des Aufenthalts war super. Klare Empfehlung, falls es wieder nach Kreta geht werden wir sicher schauen ob die Villa frei ist !

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 11 Personen und hatten die beste Zeit in der Villa Four Seasons. Die Kommunikation mit Crystallenia hat perfekt geklappt, sie hat uns jeden Wunsch erfüllt und uns auch Auto, Bootstrip und sogar Essen organisiert, als wir mitten in der Nacht angekommen sind. Die Villa liegt nur ca. 10 Minuten vom Strand und 15 von Hersonissos entfernt, mit dem Auto ist alles perfekt erreichbar. Die Villa ist wunderschön, sauber und perfekt ausgestattet. Das beste ist natürlich der grosse Aussenbereich mit genügend Sitzmöglichkeiten und den riesigen Pool. Perfekt für grosse Gruppen

Me and my friends really enjoyed the stay at the villa. The villa was beautiful from outside but also inside. It was very clean when we arrived which was very nice. Crystallenia is a very kind person and a very caring host. She provided us things we asked for (for example: she bought food and drinks for us because we arrived very late in the evening). Beside that she is very communicative and speaks English very well. The next time we visit Crete, we know which villa we will stay

Villa Four Seasons is a dream house with a unique position on a large site with fruit trees (banana, lemon, apples) and a breathtaking view to sea, islands and mountains. On the large terrace you can chill out in the shadow under enormous treetops, have a swim in the large pool, play a round of basketball or work out in the fitness room. Beach, shopping, bars and supermarkets a stone’s throw away; Heraklion and Knossos only 25 minutes by car. The ideal starting point for exploring the island.

The villa is spotlessly clean, airconditioned and equipped with all amenities. On top of this both house and pool are cleaned twice a week and fresh towels etc. supplied. What, however, distinguishes this place from any other, is the extraordinary supportiveness, assistance, hospitality and loving care from the host, Chrystallenia, which is out of category. Anything you need, any problem you might come across, Chrystallenia will be there for you in seconds and fix it.

We spent an unforgettable week with our children and grandchildren – 12 persons in all – ending in the celebration of our golden wedding set on the beautiful terrace. The organisation of this great event went smoothly thanks – again – to Chrystallenia standing by with advice and competent assistance. We enjoyed the spaciousness and luxury of this property with room(s) for everyone to the fullest and we recommend it without reservations.

Superb well-equipped villa at 15min from the capital! The villa is beautiful, spacious, very well equipped! We were 6 friends, 6 rooms including 4 with bathroom, perfect! Large garden, large courtyard for playing, basketball etc… Pool and deckchairs for swimming and sunbathing. The well equipped kitchen too, a covered terrace perfect for meals. The wifi is a bit weak..-Very welcome from Chrystallenia, she gave us a lot of recommendations for tours and restaurants. Always available for information any day via WhatsApp! For the location, close to the capital and therefore the airport! Lots of small towns around with lots of good restaurants, bar, clubs etc… By cons for nice beaches road needs to be fixed. We had a very good week in the Four Season villa, I recommend. Beware of flower pots in garage driveway, smashed one with rental car.

She fulfilled every wish. The location, the amenities and the cleanliness can only be as highly rated as possible. It was great pleasure to do business with Krystalenia.
