We were a group of 14 young students. We flew in from Chania and got picked up by shuttle which got organised for us. The villa was clean and we had a nice welcome drink at the owners restaurant. We loved staying at the pool or take a 5min walk down to the beach. Halfway through our stay we got new towels and sheets which was great. With 14 people of same age sleeping accommodations are fine, two big families with smaller children would work better because one of the rooms with tree beds is kind of the hallway.
Overall was our time great and we grew as a group closer together. Thank you for having us, Crete has a special place in our hearts now!
Villa Olympia ist die perfekte Adresse für einen entspannten Urlaub auf Kreta. Das Haus liegt fußläufig zum Strand, Supermärkten und Restaurants. Der Außenbereich ist recht weitläufig und es gibt viele verschiedene Sitzgelegenheiten über die ganze Anlage verteilt. Es gibt sogar ein Volleyballfeld und eine Dachterrasse. Auch im Haus selbst gibt es alles, was man benötigt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich, wir wurden mit frischem Obst begrüßt und direkt auf ein Willkommensgetränk im Restaurant des Besitzers eingeladen. Wir würden die Villa definitiv weiterempfehlen!!
Wir waren zu 12 in der Villa. Wo wir ankamen, wurden wir herzlichst empfangen. Die Lage ist sehr gut, zum Strand muss man nur einmal über die Straße dann erwartet einen gleich ein schöner Sandstrand. Ein kleiner Supermarkt ist gleich unterhalb der Villa, dieser hat alles nötige. Der Verkäufer von Supermarkt war sehr freundlich. Villa ist sehr schön vor allem der Außenbereich, genug Sitzplätze für alle und genug Schatten.
Würden jeder Zeit wieder hingehen, hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
