Nicolas was a superb host from start to finish. He welcomed us in person, showed us around, and took a genuine interest in making sure our Crete experience was a good one. Since it was Christmastime, the house was decorated festively, which made it feel especially warm and welcoming. He also stocked the kitchen with cooking oil and starter seasonings—thoughtful touches that made settling in easy. Nicolas checked in just enough to be helpful, never intrusive. My wife and I have stayed in multiple Airbnbs across four countries since retiring in September, and Nicolas truly stands out as a top host. The home overlooks the White Mountains, and the view was unforgettable. We arrived in early December with only the peaks dusted in snow and watched the snow gradually spill down the mountains as December turned to January. Perched atop a hill, the home offers wonderful privacy and a deep sense of tranquility.

Place was even better than photos show. Very stylish, absolutely stunning views. Very quiet with only one neighbour who we rarely spotted. Nicolas was the perfect host - available to welcome us and answer any questions but also left us to get on with our holiday. Left some welcome gifts and lovely touches. All the recommendations available via the welcome pack/links). Plenty of inflatables to borrow to make the pool even more fun for our kids. We had a wonderful time. It was the perfect airbnb for us.

This was a wonderful stay in the most spectacular air BnB! Nicolas is a fantastic host, and we felt right at home. The views are breathtaking and the villa has everything you could need for a family holiday. Thank you so much! It was perfect and the 5 star reviews are very well deserved.

The photos and description do not do this place justice. The villa is in such beautiful surroundings and it’s so peaceful. The pool was a firm favourite for the kids. You need a car but the nearest beach and restaurants are only 5 mins away. Elpis in plaka is really reasonable and family friendly and Psaros in Alymrida is great and has amazing sea views. I didn’t want to leave at the end of the week and will most definitely be booking again. Nicolas is really helpful and responsive as a host and nothing is too much trouble. The locally sourced olive oil and orange cake was a welcome gift in the kitchen as well.
