Clean, quiet and a good location for exploring further. A fair walk to local villages but near main road for easy access to travel further. Free air con.
Apartment had everything essential for a stay and the shower room exceeded all previous experiences of Greek plumbing.
Apartment cleaned daily, staff very friendly even down to sharing the figs grown in the garden!
Lovely pool. Perfect if you want a peaceful break.More

I travelled with my son,( 7 years old). We stayed in a room with 2 beds. The room had cooking facilities. The Hotel area was very tidy, and our room was cleaned every day. Pool area was clean and in the beginning of our holiday we were the only users. The location was 2,5 km from Hersonissos town, in the old village area. Taxi costs 7 € to the town. In the old village center ,there were one main street with several tavernas, walking there took 10 minutes. There were also few mini markets and one bakery. The prices in those were quiete high, so we did our gocery shopping in the center of Hersonissos town. The hotel location is excellent if you want to get away from city noise. I recommend the hotel also to the families because of the quiet enviroment. The owner Nikos were super, he was very helpfull and told us many tips. We were going to go to the waterpark nearby and he said that there is a Star Beach hotel area with waterpark with free entry in Hersonissos,so we went there instead. He even called there and made sure that it´s open to all users. He also arranged our taxi to the airport in the leaving day and negotiaded lower price for us. The hotel had free wifi, and airconditioning was working and included in room price. Relaxing place for holiday!

Thank you for your comments. Thank you for stay with us and we are really glad that you spend good holidays.
Hope to see you again .
I did stay here for whole week with my family. The kids totally enjoyed the pool which is part of this villa and we enjoyed the nice and clean apartment which was cleaned every day. The villa is in walking distance from old Hersonissos, but for getting to the sea the car is a necessity
Immaculately clean - sufficient room facilities - very clean and quiet pool - lovely lovely location away from the tacky resorts of Malia and Hersonissos and right near the old village - car hire essential - suited us perfectly
Only the sound of crickets and wood pigeons and the pool to ourselves most of the time
The owners are very accommodating
From the beginning on my boyfriend and I were satisfied with the service and location of the villa that we stayed in. The owner of the place- Nikos is super friendly and helpful. He organized the taxi to pick us up from the airport. He welcomed us and we felt immediately at home at that place. He helped us to get oriented and gave us great advices. It is a quite location and just what we were looking for. The villa is clean and has swimming pool which most of the time nobody was making use of. Every morning after getting up we had the pool for ourselves. Getting to the center of the village takes 10min. walk. Once you get there you fall in love with the romantic environment, great restaurants, delicious food and extremely friendly Greeks. We rented a scooter, which was very handy and not very expensive. That saved us lots of time on communication and you get to see much more of the island.
If you wish to go out to the crowded places that is also possible and it takes like 7min. on the scooter. Further there are lots of shops where you can get presents and bars/ restaurants. Beaches are very clean and just perfect. Going up the mountains will pay back with the beautiful views that you won't forget.
At the end of our trip Nikos brought us to the airport.
It is recommended to go to this place and we are looking forward to go there next year again.
The pool bar wasn't open for the two weeks we stayed even though this is advertised online and we visited during peak season. The pool was not cleaned at all. Any time we wanted to swim we had to clean several bugs etc from the pool.
Beds are like planks of wood so don't expect a good nights sleep.
Bathroom and rooms were not as pictured on hotels.com.
We couldn't sit outside at night as the hotel owner complained that our outside light was on and keeping others awake ( they were sleeping with the door open).
As mentioned in other reviews - the distances are not correct and the hotel is in the middle of nowhere.
Hotel owner rarely available as he had several 'appointments' and therefore poor reception facilities.
The pool would appear to be a free for all for locals and non guests.
Even though the pictures show very modern rooms with nice modern showers etc, we were put in a room that was very dated.
For a self catering property the facilities are very limited and there was no table to eat dinner unless we had eaten from the dressing table.
Overall the hotel experience wasn't fantastic and the hotel owner seems very approachable for certain guests and not others.
