Great retreat for a couple

Large infinity pool with great terrace, splendid view and a small appartment. Apart from tourism, a few minutes away (by car) from the small village Istron (restaurants, beach) or Ag. Nikoloas (more restaurants). A couple of activities around but mostly relaxing ...

Best holiday in recent memory

This property far exceeded our expectations. We knew from the reviews that it was going to be great but we were not prepared for the magnificent views, the magical outdoor space and the incredible sense of privacy. It was mesmeric, utterly breathtaking and we loved every minute of our stay. We also thoroughly enjoyed the local area, including the beaches, great restaurants and the Palace of Knossos. As soon as we got home, we were dreaming of when we could come back to the Mirabello Estate.

Stunning view

Very beautiful place, with a stunning view. Nicely remote so we could spend time on our own, but still close by lovely fishing villages and shopping opportunities. Spacious and clean apartment well connected with the terrace and pool. We will definitely be back. Only challenge was the internet, which makes it difficult to work from there. Finally, Stacia is an excellent host.

Spectacular

This really was a most magical stay. The location and setting of the property are breathtakingly beautiful. The apartment has everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The view from the apartment stretches directly across the infinity pool seamlessly blending with the sea below. That is quite something to wake up to! The outside terrace is huge and totally private. The pool is a perfect size and at this time of year we opted to have it heated - which was well worth it. Check in and out were easy as the owner, Stavia provides a very comprehensive info document and responded to any queries (eg directions to places) quickly. The weather was utterly glorious apart from one day of blustery winds. We cannot recommend the property highly enough - and we can’t wait to be back.

The Most Perfect Sanctuary !

We were overwhelmed with the property the second we stepped through the gate ! We wanted a real escape and this is exactly the place for one! We travel a great deal and thoroughly do our homework before booking anything and were delighted to find this amazing looking place , however the pictures simply do not do it justice …it is absolutely stunning ..the views are breathtaking, it’s so quiet and relaxing. So many outdoor area seating areas to choose from, enough shade and everything that you could want is available. The apartment, although small, was perfectly adequate for the two of us, the bed was incredibly comfortable ( always an issue!!) the little kitchen was very well equipped with all kitchen essentials required . The electric shutters gave us the option of leaving the patio door open and just closing the shutters …very dark ..lovely ! The air con was very effective at times for when we needed to cool off! The pool was fabulous and a great size as well deep! Initially because of the strong winds it felt very cold and we were reluctant to stay in it for long, Stavia was so incredibly helpful and kind, and had the pool heating turned on for us to raise the temperature a few degrees! Michelle was just amazing , she gave us loads of useful information and kept the place spotlessly clean . Nothing was too much trouble. Stavia was so approachable and filled us with confidence . We have no doubt that we will return next year it’s just Paradise! Absolutely perfect! ❤

Schitterend en gastvrij

We zijn hier voor de 2e keer heen gekomen. (Vorige keer 2 jaar geleden) de verwachtingen waren hoog, gezien onze eerdere ervaring. We waren toch weer verrast door het schitterende uitzicht, het fijne beknopte huisje met alles er op en er aan en niet te vergeten het warme, behulpzame en zeer snelle vriendelijke contact met de eigenaresse. In 12 dagen is er 2 keer schoongemaakt en handdoeken verwisseld/bed. Vuilnis meegenomen, echt top service. (Dank Michelle!) het zwembad werd om de dag schoongemaakt en gecheckt en er werd meteen actie ondernomen als er iets aan moest gebeuren. De omgeving is mooi, strandjes, winkeltjes, restaurantjes genoeg. En altijd weer fijn ‘thuis’ komen in de rust en de schoonheid van ons verblijf. Quality time ten top.

Absolute amazing, stunning, beautiful

Wat een prachtig, luxe verblijf. Het uitzicht is onbeschrijfelijk mooi. Elk moment van de dag weer anders. We raakten er niet op uitgekeken. Het terras biedt ook een fijne lig of zitplek op elk moment van de dag. Er is altijd ruimte in de zon of in de schaduw. Ook binnen bevat het verblijf alle luxe die je nodig hebt. Een lekker bed, een fijne douche en een prima keuken. Ook de ligging is prettig. Wel een paar steile hellingen voordat je er bent (maar dan heb je ook dat fantastische uitzicht). Naar de stad is het ongeveer 15 autominuten rijden. Echter in het nabijgelegen dorp, zijn er verschillende (kleinere) supermarkten die alle basis boodschappen hebben. Ook diverse leuke restaurantjes. Wij komen hier zeker terug!

Early May Experience

The location, the view, the tranquility and the outdoor terrace comfort are nothing less than fantastic and amazing. The internal accommodation is small even for a couple! If it’s warm and sunny then it’s absolutely ok. But the weather in our first week starting 30 April was cold and windy especially in the evenings so we couldn’t sit or eat or swim outside and the studio apartment is not geared up for this!! However when the weather improved after 6 days we experienced the magnificence of the place. The owner responded immediately to our early issues and we must praise the cleaner and all round helper Michelle. Her attention to detail and cleaning care was absolutely fabulous! Bed linen and towels etc were changed twice each week. The local village has some excellent restaurants and a nice beach but once the weather changed we had no desire to leave the terrace and the heated pool. So, all things considered, we give it 5 stars and may we’ll return but not in late Spring next time!

Schlechte Sauberkeit zu beginn, sonst alles Toll

Als wir an der Villa ankamen traf uns leider der Schock. Die gesamte Wohnung war schmutzig, es lag totes Ungeziefer im Wohnzimmer und die Toilette war eindeutig stark verschmutzt. Zusätzlich war der Pool bei einer Außentemperatur von ca 29 Grad, mit 36 Grad viel zu warm. Daraufhin nahmen wir natürlich sofort Kontakt mit der Vermieterin auf welche auch sofort jemanden schickte welche 3 Stunden das Objekt säuberte und die Heizpumpe im Pool ausschaltete. Danach war alles sehr gut. Der Pool kühlte nach ca 3 Tagen ab. Wir haben auch eine Rückerstattung erhalten für einen der gebuchten 5 Tage vor Ort. Insgesamt eine Wunderschöne ruhige Lage mit genialem Ausblick. Gerade draußen ist die Ausstattung und der Pool traumhaft. Innen ist es einfach gehalten aber ausreichend. Wäre am Anfang die Wohnung Sauber gewesen würde ich 5 Sterne geben natürlich. Leider war dies nicht der Fall daher der Abzug.
