Aldemar Knossos Villas is all about light, stunning sea views and airy Mediterranean vibes that blend seamlessly into a glorious seafront setting. Set at a splendid location on the tip of a beautiful cape and bathed in sunlight and sea breeze, this five-star haven is a place to find your bliss. Our luxurious and spacious gem-like villas, situated steps away from a sublime beach, bring together tradition and modern splendour. Experience a magnificent escape that feels contemporary while being deeply rooted in Cretan culture. Each villa is an exquisite collection of high-style amenities and comforts inviting guests to find their paradise. Framed by the crystal-clear Cretan Sea and pristine private or shared pools, Aldemar Knossos Villas is renowned for its grandeur and heartfelt hospitality.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We had a luck to stay at those villas. They are located in the sea front and have spectacular views over the sea shore. We could enjoy the best sunsets of our life. The hotel offers nice choice of restaurants and you can taste local cuisine at Artemis restaurants and gourmet at Fontana Amorosa. There are lots of families with children, but those villas are in a quiet part of the hotel and we could enjoy the tranquility.

The stay was very memorable. The resort itself is quite big, so note that there is a lot of walking involved, especially if you are in the seafront rooms like us. We put in a request to be put together with our family and they upgraded us to villas next to each other, which was most appreciated. The greenery makes the place such a paradise.
The staff is extremely friendly and hospitable. We were always greeted with a smile! I must mention Daisy from the Milos bar, who is a very nice person and makes the best drinks in the resort, and Irini from Kafenio who was so friendly and always smiling. Both offered us great service and we were sad to say goodbye!
Facilities offer all you need, a supermarket, souvenir shops, multiple bars and restaurants, room service, a games room, a water slide, wellness, and more.
The food was really good. We enjoyed everything including the breakfast nearby, the lunches and dinners, and the room service we ordered. We tried every bar and since there are many, it was a great change of location each time.
To mention some cons, I would say that the pool that we shared was turning our legs and body blue, probably from the paint, which was a bit annoying and messy.
Also, we had a door connecting our villa to the one next door, so we could hear quite a bit, but since it was our family, we were ok, but we could see how that could be a problem for others.
And the beach tends to have a lot of seaweed, however, there are a lot of alternatives nearby, so it wasn't a big deal.
Overall, we had an amazing stay and would be happy to come back again!

A several smaller houses with own swimming pools of different shapes. Older furniture in rooms but clean. Beds were comfortable. Ammenities in bathroom and beach towels, slippers, cotton bag etc. were for our disposal. Resort offers choises of restaurants and bars. We had delicious food in all restarant. The service was amazing, staff were kind and smily. Ms. Thalia on the main restaurant was extraordinary. The sea is accessible just with shoes. If you don't have them you can buy them in the hotel shop. We'd like to come back again.

we just returned after 7 days in the paradise called aldemar knossos villas. everything is superlative. we were accommodated in the maisonette knossos villa with all inclusive regime. I chose this place for my 10 year wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday. impeccable everything about services, food, beaches, landscapes, peace, extremely peace. superlative cleanliness. all the staff led by Spyros and our personal PR Katerina made us feel like royalty. the fantastic breakfast in the Fontana Amorosa restaurant exclusively for the villas, the gourmet restaurants and the one on the beach exceeded all our expectations in terms of luxury and the freshness of the food. we felt like princes and princesses, the surprises and gifts for our wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday were exceptional.

The villas are located close to Hersonissos within a nice hotel complex of Aldemar. We had a maisonnette with shares pool. The most exciting thing was to enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the villa’s veranda and listen to the sound of waves. Due to fact it is part of the Knossos resort we could enjoy all the hotels’ facilities, restaurants. In general there a couple of bars with nice cocktails, very pleasant staff. We would return

We had a stay at this beautiful villas complex after a week of stay in the hotel. While staying here there are losso ilities to use the hotel infrostfu ture, it also stay in a villa gives you some upgraded options such as breakfast at a cute place just on the sea line with perso olized services. We really enjoyed it, it was a highlight of the stay. Upon arrival the staff meets you with nice tray with juices and prosecco served on it. We want to Tha k the staff that made the acatio so wonderful and memorable.

Aldemar Knossos Villas, for the third time, exceeded our expectations. We spent Easter this year at this spectacular location. Indeed, we thank you for absolutely all the impeccable services you offer and for the care you have towards us every time we cross your threshold. We would like to inform you that we booked two whole weeks for July at the same Maisonette, and in August, whether you like it or not, we booked another two weeks. We really can't get enough of this place. Hats off, Katherina, Elena, Spyros, Maria from breakfast, Daisy, Tatiana from the Beach Bar, Konstantinos, and all the staff, especially the chefs (I'm on a diet until July :)) ). Thank you for everything! I can't wait to see you again!

We were a group of ten women. We were upgraded to the villas when we arrived. We had a fantastic time. All the staff from front of house to dining room to housekeeping were so friendly, accommodating and couldnt do enough for us. The animation team were the best I've seen in any hotel, they were all brilliant and funny, special mention to Barbara and Martina. Also Maria, who looked after us st breakfast and George who looked after us at the pool bar. The food was great, drinks were great. Also had a great night at the Bbq night, with DJ Yanis. Would highly recommend a stay at your fabulous hotel.

We are in love with the beauty of this place, located right on the coast with a superb view. We stayed at the Royal Villas, where we enjoyed the private pool. Their restaurants are fabulous, our favorite being Fontana Amorossa, where love and romance are in the air. Try to visit all their restaurants, to enjoy the experience of the chefs and the helpfulness of the waiters. We were most impressed by the hospitality of the entire team, so warm and happy, as if we had known each other for a long time. Grateful for this magical experience
