The view and pool are the thing that make this villa worth going to. Poor kitchen facilities eg no microwave ,dishwasher very few breakfast bowls. Very poor storage space in some bedrooms. It takes 30 minutes not 15 to walk to the shops and restaurants. It is a very steep area and a car is essential.

A Cretan Gem Despite the Weather's WhimsOur recent stay at the farm villa in Crete was truly memorable, even with an uncooperative weather streak that included a heatwave with Sahara sand pollution, followed by muddy rain. Despite these unusual conditions, the villa itself proved to be an absolute haven.Perched majestically atop a hill, the villa boasts truly gorgeous ocean and mountain views that stretch as far as the eye can see. We loved the wraparound balcony, which offered breathtaking panoramas and a serene spot to relax, surrounded by lush nature, ancient olive trees, and fragrant lemon trees. The quiet, secluded location ensured a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle.The enormous pool was a fantastic amenity, perfect for cooling off and enjoying the stunning surroundings. But what truly made our experience exceptional was the lovely family who hosted us. Their warmth, genuine care, and hospitality were evident from the moment we arrived. They welcomed us so kindly and kept everything meticulously clean throughout our stay.A special shout-out to Ioannis for his delicious morning desserts! They were an absolute treat, so good that we even brought some back to New York with us to savor a little longer.Despite the unexpected weather challenges, the beauty of the villa and the incredible kindness of our hosts made our time in Crete unforgettable. We can't recommend this charming farm villa enough!

Wir sind diesen September mit 7 Personen zur Villa Kardi gereist. Der Pool war traumhaft, nicht zu kühl, die Unterkunft selbst war zwar etwas urig, aber trotzdem total gemütlich. Das einzige, was wir zu „bemängeln“ hätten, wäre, dass es keine Spülmaschine gab. Bei 7 Personen doch ein wenig „viel“ Aufwand. Dies hat unseren Urlaub jedoch nicht beeinträchtigt. Die Lage war auch gut, man kam überall gut hin. Die Stadt Bali war nur 10 Autominuten entfernt und auch zum Strand hat man es nicht weit. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner gelungener Urlaub mit toller Unterkunft. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Wonderful place with really nice view!
We were already in Bali Rethymno and there was no availability in the accommodation we were staying for one more day, so we booked villa kardi last minute for one day. Nevertheless, everything was excellent, very clean rooms and bathrooms. The host was very kind and helpful. I would recommend this comfortable and quiet property for your holidays.
