Very unique place to stay, village is away from crowds and sometimes signal. We had top, 2nd floor apartment. It has one bedroom and kitchen. Balcony had the best view I had ever seen. It has small bistro table and chairs, sufficient for two and dryer for clothes. Kitchen is very well equipped, it has everything for basic cooking or baking. Owner Mama Maria made our stay even more special, she is hard working, kind, polite and super nice lady. We felt like we came home for holidays. Place is great if you look for disconnection, peace and great beach. Town has 3 tovernas and small shop. If you need anything particular make sure you visit groceries in bigger towns ahead.

We loved everything and the photos don't do justice to Velanos Villas completely - you must visit it to truly understand the beauty and laid back-ness of the place and location (Kefali). Jenny is most welcoming and a wonderful host. Villa Vassos was perfect for my husband and me and the welcome wine and cookies were, well, very welcomed! You don't want to close your eyes as the views are simply stunning! When next in western Crete, we will be staying with Jenny again.

The apartment is lovely and recently renovated, with a unique and beautiful aesthetic. It was very clean, with thoughtful amenities and welcome gifts, such as some local grapes and spirits. We especially loved the air conditioning - the place was always cool, even in the middle of the day. The host was responsive and very welcoming. Would definitely come here again!

The villa ambience, the pool area, the views. The villa by it self is superb! The different lounging areas for different times of the day is a big plus. Bathrooms were nicely decorated and very functional. Beds were very comfortable. All rooms have their own AC. The proximity to cosy restaurants in both Gavalachori (15 mins walking distanse) and Almyrida (3-4 mins by car) was good. Both villages offers superb foods and drinks. The location is superb for taking your rental to most of the big nature attractions on the western part of Crete.

Located in an idyllic corner of Crete, a stones throw from a gorgeous rocky beach, this modern well apportioned apartment provided an exceptional base during our two week stay for our young family of 5 to explore the area. It had everything that was required, and the views created a sense of space and peace that is unmatched. The owners communication was excellent and his Father was incredibly friendly and charming. 100% recommend this place and this part of Crete for all kinds of exploration and activities!

A tastefully designed space with an equipped kitchen, great balcony and a bathtub. Lots of privacy, very quiet, away from it all, for me and my partner that was perfect, inspiring and romantic. The host, Maria, is kind, helpful and attentive, she left us little sweet treats and drinks. We had a beautiful experience(got lucky and had the whole space to ourselves).
