Siamo stati 10 giorni qui in agosto, due adulti e due bambini. La casa è molto bella, spaziosa e ariosa, l'abbiamo trovata pulitissima e con tutto ciò che poteva servire, compreso forno a microonde, bollitore, phon, lavatrice, aria condizionata ecc. I prorietari sono stati molto accoglienti e ci hanno fatto trovare in frigo della frutta secca, delle bibite, dell'olio e del raki di loro produzione; la signora ci ha portato ogni mattina un dolce fatto da lei. Punto forte qui è la natura, si sente rumore di mare e vento negli ulivi e basta! Se amate la natura e la tranquillità è il posto giusto per la vacanze, per il resto è un po' isolato perchè tutta la costa ovest è rocciosa e le strade di conseguenza sono piuttosto complicate da continui tornanti; quindi spostarsi per visitare altri punti di interesse è impegnativo soprattutto con bambini in auto.

Super séjour dans un cadre enchanteur, très bon logement ,très fonctionnel avec une terrasse et une vue fantastastique permettant de décompresser totalement. Propriétaires adorables et aux petits soins pour leurs invités. Chaudes recommandations pour cet endroit et découvrir une partie sauvage de la Crête.

People actually stopped by to ask if this was our home, and how we found it! On an island full of package tourism, Pericles' and Christina's house really lets you get away from it all. We spent a beautiful fall week here with the kids, with much more time around the house, in the pool and on the pebbly beach closeby than we had anticipated. Oh, and DO follow the taverna and sightseeing tips in the area 'manual' the agency provides; they are actually much better than the ones in the Lonely Planet. :)

Everything was perfect, the house makes you feel you have the whole bay to yourself. It's beautifully located, a lovely house and great hosts. The owners were so helpful, just like everyone we met in the little village of Sfinari. We are already planning our next visit. Thanks so much! :)

We spent a very nice week in Pericles villa. Everything was great, and we enjoyed the outdoors area, swimming pool, as well as the nice master bedroom and the rest of the amenities. Very nice location by the sea with some goats as only neighbours. The beach is not the best on the island and it was often windy while we were there, but falassarna, balos and elafonissi are top class beaches and not too far away. All in all, it completely fulfilled our expectations.

Our stay at Pericles Beach Villa was absolutely outstanding. We chose this villa for our honeymoon as we wanted something special. It exceeded all our expectations in every way. Our stay was for 12 days. We could have stayed forever. Perfect location next to the beach, no tourist developments nearby, a lovely walk along the beach to 3 tavernas, all of which served great food. And the villa itself - plenty of space (we were very lucky to have it all to ourselves, but great for a family or group of friends), fantastic views, sunsets to die for, constant breezes off the sea keeping the temperature moderate, lots of lovely seating areas around the villa (we moved from one to another depending on the heat, the wind, the time of day), a very nice pool to cool off in. Christina and Pericles were very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed and even left us a honeymoon gift. I'm a very practical person, so finding the right words to describe this little piece of paradise is difficult! You won't be disappointed with this villa. Be aware that the winds can be very strong, so depending on the time of year you may need to make full use of the outside shutters. But that's all part of the adventure!

We travelled to Sfinari at the end of October and the tourist season of 2016 was defeniteley over. Before that, we stayed in a modern house in the near of Sitia in the East. After a long ride over the island, Pericles himself welcomed us warmly at his wonderfull old house with its own charakter and stories directly at the Sea. The location of it is awseome and during the night You have an unforgettable view at the stars with the melody of the Sea. We spend 7 remarkable days in this Villa full of history and tradition. The walls are build with old stones. They kept us warm. The Villa is outstanding and seems to be an Oasis in Sfinari. There are 2 little streets beside the house and between it and The Sea. Me and my family searched for a lonely place in Crete and found it here. Everyone, who is looking for a traditionell equiped house and a living a the Sea far away from the touristic masses should try this house. Therefor You need a car for Your purchase, for exploring the environment and for driving to the great beaches of Fallasarna. We will never forget this house, because it touched us, deeply.

Pericles beach villa was as described and even better than in pictures. House is big, huge terraces, swimming pool good for kids too, lawn area good for summer games. Service was warm and friendly! This is perfect place to relax and enjoy country, seaside and nature. Absolutely no complaints everything is perfect, thank you!

There were 6 of us. We had a marvellous time. The house is well looked after and very comfortable with pool and good kitchen. We snorkelled every day in front of the house. The house is well located for exploring the west of Crete .

Villa super belle, en bord de mer !! Piscine très propre, illuminé la nuit, jacuzzi super !! Personnelle pour le ménage très gentille et souriant. Très belle plage en Crète, les habitants sont très gentille. Par contre pour aller en Crète louer une voiture car la villa et même les villages sont très loin, et peu de bus passe. Sinon c'était au top rien a dire tres belle île.

Ridiculous terrace with an amazing view. Nice little soundsystem with an eclectic range of cd's, for every possible chill mood. We had an amazing time! And I will definitely recomment it to anyone whose up for a ultimate relax vacation. Thanks a lot Guy.

Villa Tranquilla was exactly that - a tranquil place to relax and unwind. Away from the crouds but close enough to explore all the beauty this spot has to offer. The little village has two great Tavernas on the waters edge, perfect place to watch the sunset and the local store has most things you would need. Definitely a must to have a car. With very friendly Neighbours and an excellent host, we would certainly recommend this villa for a week or longer!

Frigo bien garni pour l'accueil, coin très campagne et assez reculé, la route est montagneuse mais cela nous convenait bien.

Great house, Nice little town and friendly neighbourg. We had a wonderfull time

Guy's 'Villa Tranquila' lived up to our expectations. The front terrace with its stunning view of the bay, the friendly village of Sfinari and the tavernas down on the beach were highlights. The quality of the design and specification of the villa made for a memorable stay. The compact sound system enabled us to play our music and CDs, without spoiling the peaceful environment naturally! A car is essential to access the less crowded parts of nearby Falassarna beach, near the relaxed 'Orange and Blue' bar. We also enjoyed the historic city state site of Polyrinia and the old town in Chania. Guy was easily contactable and dealt with a problem - several tavernas en route to Falassarna now provide free Wi-Fi. In a nutshell Villa Tanquila enabled us to enjoy a really special holiday.

Auch wenn wir Guy leider nicht selbst kennenlernen konnten, hat er alles vorzüglich für unsere Ankunft vorbereitet. Die Wegbeschreibung war präzise und die Ausstattung des Hauses sowie die wunderbare ruhige Lage entsprach ganz seinen Beschreibungen. Darüber hinaus hat er uns mit sehr guten Tips aller Art versorgt. Wer auch immer einmal ganz aus dem Alltag abtauchen will, jenseits von touristischen Ballungszentren nur Natur, Berge und ein phantastisches Meer genießen möchte, darüber hinaus mit vielen Büchern versorgt ist, wird begeistert sein.

My husband and I stayed at villa tranquila for a week this October. It was simply perfect! Quiet, with comfy spaces and the most stupendous view in daylight or beneath starry skies at night. Guy is simply charming and incredibly helpful. All our questions were answered promptly and with great warmth and courtesy. The space has everything you might need and even lots of helpful oils and spices available to keep your food shopping to a minimum. The elderly Greek neighbour is delightful and the weather was astoundingly good. The beachside taverna was welcoming and served good inexpensive food. What more could we have asked for?! Fantastic!

Dimitra is very nice and kind. The house is a real gem. Dimitra and her husband took care about any little details. It is just renovated. The kitchen, the bathroom and the rooms are amazing. The patio with old olives trees is quiet and inspiring. The house is five minutes by car from little village Sfinari, in a place where you can hear only nature. It is in a strategic place to visit the best beaches: Falasarna, Elafonissi and Balos. We found some good restaurants going to Elafonissi direction. Really recommended for people who love a quite place. Congratulations again for the beautiful house!

Nous étions les premiers à louer le logement mis à disposition par Dimitra. Dimitra est très sympathique et très réactive à répondre si vous avez des questions. Le logement est une maison entièrement rénovée, toute neuve, salle de bain, cuisine et électroménager au "TOP". Grande terrasse sous un olivier certainement plusieurs fois centenaire, quel bonheur de déjeuner et dîner à l'ombre de cet arbre. La chambre principale donne une vue magnifique sur la montagne, toute les ouvertures sont équipées de moustiquaire même si nous n'avons pas constaté la présence de moustique. La maison est idéalement située à 10mn de "SFINARI Beach", 30mn de "FALLASSARNA Beach" et 55mn de "ELAFONNISI", pour ceux qui connaissent, c'est, pour nous, les deux plus belles plages de l'ouest de la Crête. Dimitra nous avait préparé une Moussaka maison pour notre arrivée, un délice, merci encore. Le logement est dans un tout petit village, attention l'accès est, à l'image des routes Crêtoises, un peu sportif, la route est étroite et escarpée. Il n'y a pas de climatisation mais celle ci ne semble pas nécessaire, la maison étant en altitude, nous avons très bien dormi. Concernant les réseaux, attention il n'y en a pas pour l'instant, ni internet, ni réseau téléphonique mais ce n'était pas un détail important pour nous. En bref, une hôte sympathique, un logement impeccable, un accueil génial, une plongée au cœur de la Crête et tout cela près des plus belles plages - que demander de plus!!! Merci Dimitra et George pour cet agréable séjour.

Perfect location, verry quiet. The apartment is as it's right on the description. Alexandros and his wife are more than kind, or exemple we often woke up with some traditional food on our table. I really reccommend this place for all the travler who wants to cross Crete.

Great welcome.

I had a great time in Sfinari. The house was very clean, spacious and fully equipped. The house has two large double bedrooms and two small beds were placed in the living rooms. We could stay there in 8 people, as two of us slept on the sofa. Even if he could not speak English, the host Alexandros warmly welcomed us with fresh fruits, raki, nuts, and their olive oil. Moreover, every morning we were brought tasty fresh-made pastries for breakfast. The view from the terrace is amazing, and the house is perfectly located to visit beautiful beaches like Elafonissi, Falassarna and Balos. It is a countryside house so it is perfect if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay. Before getting to the house, the host also sent me very detailed indications to get to the house without any problems. Recommended!

What a great position, view and hospitality! Thank you Alessandro and Noula. The freshly baked pastries delivered each morning was a friendly way to start each day. The place was spotless and had everything that you would need for a relaxing holiday. We only cooked lunch once but it was a breeze and their own olive oil made everything taste amazing! Thanks for having us at Edam!! Xxx Sam

Alexanders apartment is located in the western of crete. It is located next to sfinari. We felt really at home and had a great time. Alexandros and his wife actually don't speak english at all. Nevertheless they were very very friendly and helpful. Their nephew manages their bookings and is very friendly as well. From their we were heading to do some great tours and day trips. One and only missing are some well equipped supermarket. Therefore you have to drive a couple of minutes. Overall we had an amazing vacation. Thanks a lot!

We had a wonderfull time in Edem Apartment. The house is spacious with 2 seperate bedrooms, a large livingroom, dining room and a lovely well equiped kitchen. The location is great. above Sfinari cove with wonderfull view. We were wellcomed by Alexos and Nola who live next door, and eventhough we don't speak Greek we manage to understand what's important. In the kitchen we found fruits, nuts, juice, olive oil, eggs, cheese and more. Every morning Nola brought us a diffrent kind of cheese pastey, which was very tasty. If we had more questions we could call their nephew who speeks good English. The place was a good starting point to visit special places in west Crete. We truly recomend this house for those who want a relaxing vacation in a remote and quiet corner of crete.

Lovely people and a quiet nice town with friendly people

Getting into this apartment is safe to say that you were at home! All very cozy, clean, beautiful. A big plus is that you'll live on one of the most beautiful beaches of Greece. The apartment has everything necessary. And if you need anything helpful hosts will be happy to help! Daily we were treated to tasty treats. We were very glad we stayed in this place, and I am sure if we once again return to this island, we will stay in this place!

The Host of the property was nice and helpfull for us. The property offerts was exactly like in the description on the website. The rooms was clean and not just before our arrival, but also during our stay there. The view from the rooms was exactly like it was show on website. Moreover, I felt like I was one of the close friends, because they welcome us with a homemade cake, then we could try traditional snacks thanks to the Mom of the owner. For sure I will come back to this place if I will visit Crete in the future and I will recommend this places to all of my friends and family.

Totally awesome!! Great flat, great balcony, great view, great, great, great...! And the best thing: very nice people! If you're lucky enough, you might try some of their homemade kitchen ;)

Un indirizzo da favola: il bilocale di recente costruzione, dotato di ampio soggiorno con una vera cucina attrezzata, gode, grazie alla sua posizione elevata, di un panorama mozzafiato che spazia dalla distesa di ulivi fino al mare. L'appartamento, esposto su tre lati e dotato di ampie porte-finestre, ha uno spazioso balcone che vi gira tutt'intorno, arredato con sedie e tavolino, da cui ammirare ogni sera lo spettacolo tramonto sul mare. La cucina non è un semplice angolo cottura, ma una VERA cucina provvista di tostapane, bollitore, macchina del caffè, piastre elettriche, stoviglie e forno. Il bagno con vasca è spazioso e moderno. L'appartamento è anche dotato di lavatrice. L'accoglienza è meravigliosa: la casa è tenuta benissimo, ordinata e pulita in modo ineccepibile. La mamma di Despina ci ha viziato quotidianamente con leccornie fatte in casa, ci ha frequentemente cambiato la biancheria sia da bagno che da letto e ci ha fatto sentire veramente coccolati. Per raggiungere il mare e i negozi è necessaria l'automobile. Attenzione ai navigatori che, per raggiungere l'appartamento tramite coordinate GPS, indicano uno sterrato piuttosto ripido, del tutto evitabile.

Our stay at The View Falasarna was one of our best AirBnB stays so far. Despina and her family ( mom, dad, dog-boo boo ) were the sweetest people I have met. They invited us for coffee on both days we stayed and provided a ton of local sweets and food as a welcome gesture. Our apartment was beautiful with a great sunset view. The host also respected our privacy. I had mentioned that i liked stuffed peppers that greek people make. The next day, Despina's mom made that for breakfast along with spinach pies and sent it upstairs to us. Falassarna is an underrated beach but i would highly recommended staying in this AirBnB

Der Ausblick vom riesigen Balkon ist sehr schön. Das Appartement ist sehr angenehm eingerichtet. Es findet sich alles notwendige und mehr in der großen Wohnküche. Ebenso ist das Schlafzimmer gut ausgestattet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem. Despina hat uns mit Obst, Gemüse und Leckereien versorgt und wir konnten in Falasarna hervorragend abschalten. Es ist unbedingt nötig ein Auto zur Verfügung zu haben, da die Anlage doch etwas abseits liegt. Der schöne Strand ist ca. 2 km entfernt und die nächsten Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ebenso. Wandern ist natürlich auch möglich aber nachts sollte man eine Taschenlampe dabei haben. Wir wurden sehr gastfreundlich aufgenommen. Dankeschön

Despina, we experienced you and your parents as very helpfull and hostile. You offered to pick us up or to bring us to Kasteli. Your apartment was very nice and clean and when there was time your mom would come clean our apartment and mostly left us a dinner too. The view was amaZing and the balcony was soo nice and big. Every morning we enjoyed eating there. Phalassarna is a very nice and quiet village also. For someone who loves good nature, hospitality, good food and nice beaches, phalassarna and your apartment are the place to be!

The place was wonderful, in a stunning setting and Giorgos and Angeliki were very welcoming, generous and kind. There is a wonderful taverna down the road. It is perfectly located for exploring the incredibly beautiful western coast of Crete. We wish we could move there permanently - it was incredible!!
