What a great location and already we are missing the view of the bay, the mountains and the beautiful sunsets.' -August 2008. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Got back last night from Crete and just wanted to say what a marvellous time we had at your wonderful villa. What a great location it is in and we loved the views over Souda Bay. The boys adored the pool and we had it to ourselves most days. We spent most days on the beach which as you said is great for children. I have written a note in the visitors book to say how much we enjoyed our holiday. We would love to visit the villa again'. July 2008.

Guest book continued: The Villa was a nice homely place. The views were fantastic and lovely to draw. Personally I loved the pool. It was a great place to have fun, me and my brother became friends with our neighbours, we played with their ball and their sinking thing in my bobs Aug 07 _________ Brilliant (dad of age 9). Been to Greece 20+ times this is one of the best villas we have had, well worth the visit- Aug 2007. An excellent villa, the pool was brilliant, especially at night when it was lit, we loved it. Aug 2007.________ We have thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Crete and will miss the mountains and the blue blue sea when we return to the UK tomorrow. Villa Emilia has been a very comfortable home for 2 weeks. We love the private patio area particularly as we have been able to keep an eye on the children at the pool whilst relaxing at a safe distance. The villa itself is very well equipped and thought the welcome groceries a really nice touch. A beautiful island, we will be back July 07.

I meant to email earlier to say how much we enjoyed our holiday in Villa Emilia, Plaka. We had a very relaxing and restful holiday in this lovely area and we enjoyed the beach and all the tavernas. We also had a couple of barbecues watching the sun go down over Souda Bay. The villa itself was lovely and the air-conditioning a real blessing. Thanks for a lovely holiday – Villa Emilia' – July 2006. -

Crete Holiday July 2009

SARAH ARUN UNITED KINGDOM
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Just some feedback on the holiday

We had a fantastic time in Crete, the accommodation was perfect , Just the right size for our family, you have obviously put a lot of time and effort in to the Villa. The set up between the 5 villas works very well for both individual families or like in our cases extended groups. Domestics and the Gardeners were very helpful.
The welcome pack was much appreciated and also the information pack invaluable.
The location in Plaka is wonderful ,the views are perfect , lovely village ,friendly people and value for money restaurants. Our favourite was the Platia Cafe in the square . (Try the Mixed Grill , but choose the small and not the large).
I will recommend to all, and we hope to visit again soon.
