    The villa was immaculate. The kitchen had everything you would need. The hosts left fruit and milk, a delicious meal on our arrival, and olive oil and wine were also left in the week. The beds were very comfortable. The sheets and towels (pool...

    The location is unmatchable. The amenities were as expected. The hosts was very welcoming. Upon arrival, a bottle of local wine, some fruits (from the garden) and a plate full of cheese and vegetables was waiting for us.

Argiri Vasilaki
The villa Thimari and the villa Faskomilia are in one style decorated with high standards of accommodation. Thus, the interior of both villas is identical, and the property description is the same. Each villa is suitable for 5 persons and has a private pool. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms in total. The upper floor bedroom has a double bed and a sofa-bed. In addition, there is a hydro massage cabin in the bathroom and a large balcony with pergola. On the ground floor there is a spacious Living/Dining room with sitting sofas, fireplace, satellite TV, and a dining table. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, electric stove, microwave oven, fridge and more. All rooms are fully air-conditioned. Moreover, all beds are equipped with best in class top-mattresses in order to maximize guests’ comfort and sleep experience. The barbecue along and the dining furniture in the pool area guarantee romantic summer evenings. The nearest traditional food tavern is 500 m away, while the closest beach is 9 km away. We offer red wine, raki, and olive oil from my family's production to our guests. Bearing in mind you are on holidays, we also prepare traditional meals upon request.
Hi, My name is Argiri and I am the owner of Harkia Villas. Since 2009, me and my family (Vaso, Nikos, Eirini, and Valantis) have met and hosted families from all around the world at the villa Thimari and the villa Faskomilia. Please don't hesitate to contact me, if you have any question. Best regards from the Vasilakis family :)
Harkia Villas are perfectly positioned; away from the mass tourism but close to everything. The location allows the guests to explore with the same ease destinations in the western and eastern part of the island. The villas are a few kilometres away from the famous Arkadi monastery, and in east of the highest mountain on Crete, Psiloritis. In addition, the sightseeing of the ancient Eleftherna and Margarites pottery are in a close distance. Finally, the nearest beach is only 9 km away.
