Amygdalia getaway.
Posted 8 Jun 2015 on HotelsOur villa was lovely. The room was great and everything was lean and new. There are two or three rooms in each villa that share a common area w living room, tv and kitchen and semi private pool. Views of the sea. The bathroom also had a small washing machine.
The only negative was breakfast which was included and not at all special. We ate dinner at the villa 'restaurant' our first night as we were tired from the long drive and didn't know where anything was yet. We only eat vegetarian so there wasn't much choice and it wasn't very good.
Location was very secluded and beautiful. If you are looking for a spot away from the rest of the world, this is it.

Great place to stay, very hospitable!
Posted 31 Jul 2014 on HotelsVery kind and hospital. Lodging is very nice. Don't expect wifi to work but with the view and the great people, you won't even care about internet. Very Lovely! I enjoyed myself and felt very relaxed when leaving, we actually wished we had booked more days with them just because it felt like a home away from home and quite a bit to explore on this side of the island. The host was absolutely amazing and her cooking was wonderful.

Fantastic!
Posted 16 Jul 2014 on HotelsIf you want a truly unique and amazing experience on Crete, stay here! Thalia and her family are incredible hosts, making sure every last detail of your stay is perfect. And not only do they provide the best food in the area, Thalia also gave us a recommendation for a restaurant on the complete other side of the island, in Elounda, which was one of the best meals we had on our entire trip!

Amazing Quite Stay
Posted 9 Jun 2014 on HotelsThis place is amazing. The Villas are so nice and very well maintained. You have the comfort of an entire home virtually (+ a pool) right at your finger tips. The staff is great and you'll see the same friendly faces each day. The food was nice as well. It's tucked away in a beautiful almost hidden place in Crete right off the coast line and within a few minutes drive to Elafonisi beach along with many other great amazing views and things to see along the way. The Villas are within about 1 1/2 hour drive to Chania- another main city in Crete of which we made the drive twice and it was pleasant. Definitely a great stay and look forward to going here again.

fantastic villa away from it all
Posted 27 May 2014 on HotelsGetting there does take along time. From the Kissamos area, it took us about 2 hrs on a very curvy and scenic road. Follow the brown "Amygdalia Villa" signs. we loved the stone work of the villas. Thalia was there to greet us. Her english is very good. Her husband is a very good chef. We had the day special of whole fish with potatoes, it was WOW.. good price of 18E. Our 4 bedroom villa was only 1/2 occupied, late May. The mattress is kinda hard so we put the duvet cover under the bottom sheet, which made it more comfy. The deck has great ocean views. Roomy kitchen with 1 fridge. tv works but DVD player does not. Elafonisi Beach is 14km or 20 min drive away.. The surrounding neighbourhood is rated 3 stars because of neighbourhood dogs barking late in evening or early morning, which is quite annoying.. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience, 2 nights were not enough there. We hope to be back.

Quiet location to get away from it all and relax
Posted 30 Sep 2013 on HotelsThese villas are in a small village on the fairly remote western coast of crete. The views over the water are incredible, as are the sunsets. We had the two bedroom villa, which was great as had a private pool and patio. The little taverna run by the owners is also lovely and v authentic. A short 20 minute drive to Elafonisi beach, and a number of others nearby too if you want something less crowded.

Good, but a bit dated.
Posted 9 Oct 2019 on HotelsNice accommodation, but starts to show its age. Everything is there though, but a bit old for the price. Mike from the Bar/Taverna made up for it with his extremely laid back attitude and good service. Ask him to do sweet crepes in the morning, you’re not going to regret it and have sufficient energy for the rest of the week...
