Fantastic Villa in a fabulous location
Villa had everything we needed and was to a high standard.
Plaka had more to offer than we expected, loved the Tavernas and the Sports Bar. The Italian was an unexpected bonus!
Short walk or drive to Almyrida, 6 euros for a taxi back
Will absolutely be visiting again
The stay at Villa Argiro was everything we could've ever wanted! Check-in process was smooth with printable directions and there was a little welcome basket waiting for us. Beds were comfortable and walking distance to some great restaurants in Plaka. Best part of this place was the outdoor areas with a very nice pool, patio, and balcony with great views! Thank you for your great hospitality!

Fantastic stay
As a family of 5, the villa was amazing, enough space for everyone to enjoy, the beds where so comfortable and we even got to watch the sunset from the top balcony.
It’s a shame there isn’t a proper shower upstairs as it was too hot to enjoy the jacuzzi bath

Well appointed and great location
Beautiful house with swimming pool, central in a lovely village. Plenty of choice for restaurants and bars and good local supermarkets. Great to have dish washer and washing machine pods provided. Cleaning service excellent. Easy parking. Wrap around outside area and upstairs veranda means you can find the sun or shade at any time of day. Our 2nd visit and we will return.
A hands free shower needs to be implemented

Well appointed and great location
Spacious villa, great pool and outside areas. Nice village location with plenty of tavernas and supermarkets. Nice beaches down the hill but you really need a car to get back from the beach unless you're good at climbing!
The garden would be improved with underplanting or grass under the trees and shrubs as in the pictures. The bare soil was not very attractive

Villa Argiro
Proximity to the Town. The sun terrace.
Air con in the lounge, it was a struggle to use it in the heat. Chairs on the upstairs balcony should be supplied. The grass wa never cut so if we had more guests the outside space would of been a problem.

Fantastic villa in beautiful village
This is our first holiday with Freelance Villas and they have been excellent from the start.
Extremely helpful on villa choice for mobility reasons and help support my parents on their return with all extra paperwork during the pandemic. The villa is beautiful, so much outside space, fantastic views from the two terraces upstairs, two area outside also.
The owner was there to meet us, a welcome pack with essentials provided.
We’ve stayed in a lot of places in Crete but this has been the best villa, we hope to return.
Perfect thank you
