We spent 15 days feeling home. A pleasant house at every hours of the day owned by Mary Ellen and George, really available to help you to spend a wonderful stay. You are close to the most amazing beaches of the island : Balos, Elafonisi, Falasarna,... Deeply recommended !!!

As we were the first ever guests at Villa Veni we obviously had no reviews to rely on so we only had the photos and video of the villa to give us an idea of what to expect. I'm pleased to say that the villa is even better in reality than you see online. It's in a beautiful, quiet, rural setting in a tiny village of just a few other properties and yet is still easily accessible from the National Road. It's so peaceful and the views of the surrounding countryside are simply stunning. A car is essential due to the villa's location and the nearest supermarkets are a short drive away in Kolymvari or there's a wider choice down in Kissamos. There are so many things to see and do in this part of Crete that if you want to explore a car is vital anyway.
We've stayed at a number of other villas and none has been as well equipped as this one. The owners have really tried to think of everything you might need and there's the added bonus of fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables from the garden. The villa is beautifully furnished inside and out in a very contemporary style with some lovely individual touches. We chose to sleep upstairs which has to be one of the best places to wake up with the open plan design giving a feeling of light and spaciousness and a great view of the private pool.
The booking process through Kostas was very straightforward and he was always available to help us if we needed him. And finally we must thank the owners who were so welcoming and helpful especially as this was the first time they'd had someone saying at their property.
We usually prefer to stay somewhere different each time we travel but we can't wait to go back to Villa Veni!
