The hospitality was above and beyond. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. We appreciate the personal attention. Nothing. They cater to your every whim. Recommend them highly to anyone traveling to Crete.

The villa is well equipped, with spacious and well designed bedroom and living room. George, our host, was very kind and helpful. The pools are nice, though it was too cold to use them.

We had one of the houses in the village itself. The view from the main location is better. But it is a great place to spend some days in the South of Crete - away from the big tourist areas in the North. With a car, gps and a map you can explore the area during several days and discover authentic Crete, especially in early April it was still everywhere very quiet. George is extremely helpfull - we had some issues with the Wifi, but it was fixed during the 1st evening. And the bread and cake provided every morning were just delicious !!! Definitely a place to go back.

I would definately recommend Aoritis Villas as a great place to stay in Crete. We stayed for our honeymoon. The owners George and Olga are very welcoming and met us on our arrival at 1am. George was very friendly and helpful throughout our 10 night stay. Nothing too much trouble. The pools were clean and our apartment cleaned 3 - 4 times during our stay, with fresh towels and linen. Breakfast each morning was waiting for us even though not officially included in the price as self catering apartment; bread, savory and sweet cakes. Fridges were stocked with local jam and milk, with other provisions provided including coffee, olive oil, butter. Fully equipped kitchen. Spacious living areas beautifully decorated. Its located approx 1 hour drive from Heraklion and Hania, near to the large village of Spili. Quiet, relaxing, and good location to explore Crete - We hope to stay again soon. Nothing

This villa is located high on the sides of a hill with lovely views. It is conveniently situated, and close enough to shops, fuel and tavernas, yet distant enough to be away from it all. You could spend all day at the villa using the sun terraces and pool, but we chose to explore the relatively nearby south coast beaches and villages which are reached by driving through spectacular gorges.

A hidden jam! The place was beyond our expectations and I actually couldn't believe that I paid such a relatively low price for so much value. George the owner is a lovely man, always smiling and willing to help. He brought a fresh breakfast every morning even though it wasn't included in the price. There was a shared pool for 2-3 apartments but it felt like a privet pool as it was pretty big and in large area with stunning views all around. Please don’t tell anybody about this places ;)

Very friendly and kindly staff. We received every morning marmalade, honey, sweet and salt cakes and some warm and soft bread for breakfast. The rooms are clean and very particular, furnished with original furnitures and ornaments. The overview is fantastic! Extreme relax. The sea is not so near, but you can reach in 20 minutes by car, some wonderful beaches. Franci antique torus esset pulmentum, valde dolendum est, totaliter incommoditas!

We liked the villa and its surrounding design and the relative isolation from other guests. The hosts Olga and George where wonderful. Spilli the nearest large town is nice, and the vila is relativly close to the south beach shore which are very beautiful.

A perfect combination of excellent accommodation and facilities, beautiful location and kind and generous hosts, Olga and Yiorgos. We had a two-bedroomed, stone-built house - aesthetically and caringly furnished and decorated. Our own small pool too! We lacked for nothing, and when we wanted to eat in, Yiorgos brought us a barbecue and charcoal. Olga gave us delicious food - bread at breakfast-time, baked aubergines, snails (free-range!). So generous. One of our very best stays in Greece.

We absolutely falling in love in this place and the owners! You can find there real relaxing atmosphere, wonderful landscape, private clean pools, traditional, artistic decoration and luxurious accommodation. Hospitality of Olga and George was really wonderful and warm. Every morning you’ ll find fresh rolls and special cake from Olga. You can order Olga for authentic Greek cosine diner, which is just delicious. The rooms are clean and comfortable with high ceilings, they stay cool without the air condition. You can find there complete equipped kitchen with everything , even coffee, tea, sugar, honey, butter and milk. It is good looked, near to good beaches like Triopetra and Plakias. We very highly recommended this place and hope to back there in next year! Wspaniałe miejsce na spokojne I relaksujące wakacje. Wille zbudowane są w tradycyjnym, greckim stylu. Pokoje są pięknie I artystycznie wykończone. Kuchnia zawiera pełne wyposażenie wraz z kawą, herbatą, masłem, miodem I kawą. Codziennie rano gospodyni Olga przynosi świeże, upieczone przez siebie bułeczki I ciasto. Można również zamówić u Niej tradycyjną, grecka kolacje, która jest przepyszna. Bardzo pomocny I miły jest również gospodarz Józef, który chętnie pomoże w razie jakichkolwiek trudności. Blisko znajdują się godne polecenia plaże tj. Triopetra and Plakias.

We enjoyed the beautiful houses with handcrafted furniture and gorgeous bathrooms. The area is scenic with mountains, hills and gorgis in a short distance. It's only half an hours drive to the palmed Preveli beach with wonderful clear water to go snorkling. The more crowded and enjoyable town Rethymno is just half an hours drive away. We really appreciated Olga's freshly baked bread every morning:-) and our hosts were really friendly.

We absolutely love the place.We felt very welcome.The mountains are stunning .We had some great walks in the area. There are a lot of old walking pads. If you walk far up you can see the ocean on both sides of the island. You can buy a map in Spili or ask George. Aoritis Villas is a lovely place and very well decorated with a good eye for detail. Stones and shells cover the bathroom and lovely oilpaintings give a splash of color to the room. Comfortable chairs and couch.Good kitchen. Excellent bed. And after a walk we always jumped in our own cool blue swimmingpool for a kick of refreshment. Our holiday was not the same if we did not visit this place in the mountains of Spili. We carry George and Olga in our hearts and we will come back to our new friends. Dank jullie wel ευχαριστίες ! (*V*) + ((*V*))

Wir wurden sehr freundlich auch zu später Stunde empfangen, bekamen sogar noch ein Abendbrot und am nächsten Morgen leckeres Selbstgebackenes zum Frühstück. Die Lage ist gut, Aussicht ist wunderbar - allerdings braucht man ein Auto. Die Ausstattung sehr individuell und liebevoll.
