Villa Paradiso Crete

There was a small shop on the same road, and more shops, restaurants, and the beach were a 5-10 minute walk away. The area was peaceful and felt safe, with a lovely view. We spent 9 nights in Villa three in early July. It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully kept. Rena lives on site in her own apartment and was around if we needed anything. She and her team were friendly and clearly cared about making the stay enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked, with utensils, a large fridge freezer, microwave, oven, and dishwasher. Thoughtful supplies like dishwasher and laundry tablets, washing up liquid, soap, and shower products were appreciated. On arrival there was fresh fruit, tea, coffee, water, and fruit juice. The room was serviced twice while we were there, with fresh sheets and towels. Each villa has its own washing machine and BBQ, and there is a small safe in the twin bedroom. The slope up is steep, so Villa one might suit better if you have mobility issues.

The lounge opened straight onto the pool, making a lovely shared space with a table for four, two comfy chairs, four sunbeds, and two umbrellas. It was quite new when we stayed in Sept ‘20, but everything worked well. A fabulous little villa, just a 7-minute walk from the beach and all the restaurants, with a pool too.

Rena, who looks after the villas, has been wonderful. She left fruit, water, fruit juice, coffee, and tea in the fridge, checked what we needed, then brought back a lighter for the BBQ along with a bottle of rosé wine. She really goes above and beyond. We're staying at Paradiso Tria (three), one of four new, identical villas, all very well designed and equipped for a great stay. It's only our second day of ten, but it's been fantastic so far. We're back again this year for two weeks, and hope it's as good as last year.

We had a nice holiday there, with a nice villa and swimming pool.
