A gem in the mountains
We had a fabulous stay in villa satra. Everything was thought of. Hospitality was excellent . Greeted us with cheese fruit and the local alcohol at midnight. Really surprised that the villa was cleaned twice in our 9 day stay. Kostas very hospitable.

Satra Villa ...... Fantastic holiday enjoyed by all the family!
We have just returned from our 10 day family holiday in Crete and have had the best holiday. The villa is spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The fenced pool area made a safe environment for our 2 year old grandson to enjoy the garden and terrace as well as providing lots of fun for everyone. The villa was cleaned and sheets changed every 3 days, the rubbish was taken away daily, fresh flowers on arrival, and we were showered with gifts of cheese, bread, fruit and vegetables, raki and olive oil throughout our stay, including a lovely homemade cake! Kostas and the management team provided exemplary service to make our stay so fantastic.
Great tavernas in the village, and other nearby villages, with inexpensive traditional food and very friendly service. The area is extremely beautiful with stunning views, great walking and so many places to visit to suit all tastes and ages.
More than highly recommended!

Don’t hesitate booking this beautiful villa if you need a peaceful vacation in the Creatan mountains.
The villa and the sourrounding is clean and well maintained and both the owner and the rental management are extremely friendly, responsive and professional.
Having rented villas throughout the Mediterranean area for the last many years Villa Satra is definitely in our top two!

Perfekt, wunderschön und herzlich
Wir waren Ende Mai 2016 für 10 Tage in der Villa und haben es absolut wunderbar getroffen mit diesem schönen Haus und der fantastischen Umgebung. Das gesamte Haus war super sauber (es wurde alle 3 Tage gereinigt, inkl. frischer Handtücher), der Pool wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Insgesamt war der Service so gut, wie wir es nur selten kennen.
Der Außenbereich ist sehr schön mit vielen Blumen und Kräutern angelegt. Aber vor allem der Gemüsegarten mit dem Zitronen- und Orangenbaum ist toll. Wir durften uns an allen Gartenfrüchten bedienen :). Kostas brachte uns Kuchen, selbstgemachtes Olivenöl und Wein. Es gibt im Innenhof einen Außengrill und einen Steinofen (sehr zu empfehlen um Pizza und Brot selber zu backen!).
Die Besitzer des Hauses sind wirklich extrem aufmerksam und gastfreundlich, wir haben uns deshalb auch rund um wohl gefühlt.
Im kleinen Ort Eleftherna gibt es zudem 2 kleine Tavernen, die fußläufig in 5 min zu erreichen sind (das ist Essen ist perfekt), auch ein kleiner Supermarkt ist vorhanden (ca. 10 min zu Fuß).
Wir würden diese Villa jedem empfehlen, der das echte griechische Dorfleben kennenlernen möchte, ab von den Touristenhochburgen.
Wir kommen definitv im nächsten Jahr wieder in die Villa Satra!
Vielen Dank, Kostas und Familie! :)
