Plaka has great location and lot of possibilities for leisure time such as water sports, trekking, hiking, sight-seeings etc. Cute homely taverns are only 50m from the Leste Luxury Homes. Trip to lovely old town of Hania only 30min by car. There are beautiful villages nearby such as Almyrida, Kalyves and so one, and all of them in 5km radius.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Leste Luxury Homes. Cannot express how immaculately clean everything was and how welcoming Stefania & her team were. Even though we arrived late, we were greeted with a warm smile & superb service. We felt right at home!!

An absolutely amazing place and atmosphere. What made the stay so special was the amazing sweet, service-minded and professional staff, who took such good care of us our entire stay from beginning to end. None of us has ever experienced service in this level before - it was beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of. As a guest you can really feel the love that is put into the place. Everything is nice and clean and we felt such good taken care of. This place was so special for us and will forever be a great memory. We will definitely be back again!

This place is really special. The apartment had everything we needed and more. Cleaned every day and Vanna the manager and her family couldn't do enough for us; totally lovely and brilliant hosting. The owner Stephania was fantastic and made us feel like part of the family. Plaka village has lots of tavernas , wonderful views, and just a 10 min walk to the nearest beach.

We had the pleasure of staying at Leste for 2 weeks in August 2021. We arrived and were greeted by Ivanya who helped us with our bags and showed us to our villa. From this moment onwards, Ivanya and her brother, Yannis were the perfect hosts; checking constantly whether we needed anything, often bringing us plates of fresh fruit, cooking us the occasional Greek dish and answering any questions we had about the local area. The daily cleaning regime and changing of bedding and towels was flawless. They went out of their way to make us all feel very special - embarrassingly so at times- as we are not used to being treated like royalty. When one of our party needed medical attention, they were there with ice and towels and insisted on accompanying us to the local medical centre. Stephania, the owner, was really helpful over the phone when we booked our holiday and checked in on us a couple of times during our stay. She really does run a tight ship and should be really proud of Ivanya, Yannis and the team. Thank you so much for making our holiday so amazing. Thank you.…

What a find following months of lock down! We wanted our own private villa with a small pool, close to tavernas and the beach. Leste Luxury Homes did not disappoint. We could not have asked for more the team here, led by the owner Stephania are outstanding. The levels of hygiene are exemplary. The service was above and beyond my expectations. I am a British Luxury travel agent and would have no hesitation to recommend this place. Feel free to get in touch with me for an honest and in depth review about this place. It’s not often I say I will return to a place but Leste is a definite.

My family and I just returned from a relaxing week in Crete at Leste Luxury homes. We were very impressed with the homes and the impeccable daily cleaning service. The staff are attentive and very friendly. The owner is personable and goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and provide you with any sightseeing and activity recommendations. We certainly experienced the warmth of the Greek hospitality in abundance whilst staying at Leste and even benefited from an upgrade to the bigger villa on the last night! The private rooftop pool is perfect for children and cooling off in the heat. We also had a little bbq one evening. The property is located in Plaka which is a small village with a few grocery stores and restaurants. 5-10 minutes by car is Almyrida and it is about 30 minutes away from Remythyo. The location of the property is ideal for a relaxing break without being too secluded. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Leste and will be returning next year!…

Just back from a wonderful stay with Stefania and her team at Leste. We stayed in a 4 bed Villa as wanted extra space for us and the two children. We weren’t disappointed. This has the privacy of a villa with the amenities of an apartment. With beach towels, provided and a daily full clean. My partner was worried about the size of the pool but the kids loved it. A 5 min walk Up the hill to Plaka with the mini market and 3 tavernas or a 5 min drive 15 min walk down the hill to Almyrida and the beach. We split our time between both ends of the beach as they are very different. The far end better if you are a late riser. Little food parcels were dropped almost daily by Stefania and her team and nothing was too much trouble, just ask and they can help with all you could need. We will be back, thanks for a lovely experience! Nicola…

The apartment that we stayed in was very large with great sea views. It was very well furnished and spotlessly clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed for an enjoyable 4 day stay in April. We were met by Vana who looked after us throughout our stay and provided us with fresh orange juice,cake and a lovely breakfast pack. we really couldnt have asked for any more. The apartments are a short walk into Plakka which has several restaurants and a mini market. Also its a 2 minute drive to the beach at Almyrida. Stephania is so friendly and has a great team looking after the apartments it was a pleasure to stay. !!

We stayed at Leste for two weeks at the beginning of August. We could not have had a warmer welcome from Stephania, Vana and the team. They looked after us incredibly well, the apartment was spotless and we received treats of cake and fresh orange juice on a regular basis. The location is within easy walking distance of several lovely tavernas and with a car, you can explore the amazing area. I would not hesitate recommending Leste to any one.
