    Property We really appreciated the beautiful architecture of the property, as well as the tasteful interior design and decoration of the suite. Location The location is remote, but the peace and quiet, the almost private beach right below, and the starry night sky more than make up for it. Other At check-in we were welcomed by an affectionate kitten who came by often to hang out with us during our stay. (please do not feed her in the property) We were also happy to find snacks and drinks in the fridge upon arrival.

    Privacy -nearby suites share a pool with an over-surface separation, so it didn't really feel private - we should have paid closer attention to the photos. -the porches are very exposed to the parking area, esp. suites 3-4 where one can easily see inside. In our suite (No 4) in particular, one can actually walk into the private pool area, which further compromised the feeling of privacy. View While we appreciated the wild, natural setting, the vegetation in front of the pools could be gardened to stop preventing the infinity pool effect. Mattress We appreciated the high-quality brand, but we found it much too firm to sleep comfortably. Cleanliness There is no house-keeping apart emptying the dustbins, which is fine by us, but at least at check-in we would have appreciated not finding signs of the previous guests, at this level of service. Other There was a certain time lapse in our communications with the hosts. Minor issues (such as broken umbrella, torn mosquito screen, blocked safe) could be fixed, but we didn't really bother. Wi-Fi code could be visible for guests to connect in case of bad reception.

    Property response:

    Dear Themis, thank you very much for your comments, however we would like to respond to some points. You should definitely have seen the photos better before your choice, while on the subject of privacy, suite 4 has direct access to the parking lot, which is very convenient for some of our guests to go directly to the beach. The plants are those that exist in the surrounding area and we try to have a combination of a natural landscape, without obstructing the view, but we saw it and in the following days we did some pruning on the plants. The mattresses are perhaps among the best available on the European market and we are very happy that you recognized them, for some they are too soft, but it is a very subjective matter. On the subject of cleanliness, our service provided is to provide daily service to our customers by emptying the trash cans and every 3rd day there is a change of sheets, towels and general cleaning of the room. However, you only stayed for two nights, so there was no need for cleaning. At the time of check-in, there were indeed fingerprints from a child on the lower part of the exterior window, but these were cleaned the same time. Regarding communication, there was no problem, you did not have an internet signal, but this was solved by a direct phone call from us via mobile telephony. The umbrella was not broken, its trunk allows it to take a sideways tilt so that it has better shade when the sun is not on the upper side. The mosquito screen did have some damage from previous guests that left the same morning, unfortunately the fact that the building is far from the city does not give us the opportunity to immediately repair the damage. We did not find the safe locked, but if it was, you could have informed us or the cleaning lady to open it immediately. Finally, there are two Wifi connection networks, one is completely open for the outdoor areas and the other has a code which we sent you. Thank you very much for your stay in our suites, your comments always help us to provide even better services and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind regards, Giannis & Asimina

    The place and our hosts were wonderful! The beds are extremely comfortable, the apartments are very clean, the beach is 1 minute walk away and very quiet, almost no people. There are several restaurants nearby, one of them is 3 minutes walk away. It is very quiet, peaceful and you have perfect privacy. Also the cleaning lady Maria is very nice and friendly.

    Our only complaint is about the cleanliness of the pool. We didn't dare use it, as it didn't have any purification systems, and there was no chlorine in the water. It was unpleasant that frogs came every evening, they were swiming at the pool and every night they lined up in it and start to croak very loudly at night.

    Property response:

    Dear friends, thank you very much for your comments and your rating, thank you very much! Our pool is cleaned every second day and chlorinated according to Greek standards of the Ministry of Health. However, for a period of time we had a visit from some frogs, which we did not want to kill with chemicals as we are against the killing of animals. However, they left and we do not have such an issue anymore. Be well and we are sorry for the experience you had.

    My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience at Salvia! The location is incredible if you’d like to wind down from day to day life and fully immerse yourself in peace and tranquility. Amazing apartment with everything you need and a beautiful terrace with infinity pool. From your terrace, you take a few steps and you can dive into the ocean, such a special experience. And then the hosts: hospitality really was 10/10! We have felt so welcome in their apartment, they offered to help with everything we needed and surprised us many times with their kindness. Would definitelt recommend!

    Nothing, everything was great and we will definitely come back.

    We loved staying at Salvia - it’s been our second visit in two years and it was the right decision to come back once more. The hospitality and attentiveness of the hosts is one of the many reasons we felt at home! The ocean view, sound of the waves at all times, and overall calm surroundings round it up to be the perfect place to wind down and explore the south of Crete. End of October was still warm enough to spend time in the pool, the ocean was also warm enough to swim.

    Excellent location and very quiet and relaxing. Infinity style pool was excellent and the housekeeper did laundry for me for no additional charge. Collecting the keys was easy and the hosts super friendly and responsive.

    Nothing really. Maybe the knives could have been sharper in the kitchen ha

    Luxury suite with a beautiful sea view. You will need a car in order to get to this location and move around, but it’s worth it. You will find a lot of great restaurants in the area. The hosts are lovely and welcoming people and the cleaning lady, Maria, will steal your heart :)

    The location by the sea, the apartment, and especially the terrace with the private pool were sensational and exceeded all our expectations. Maria was very nice and took perfect care of the cleaning. Also, a great tavern (Zorbas) is only 5 minutes away on foot. All in all, it was very perfect, quiet, relaxing, and clean. We will definitely come back. The beaches in the nearby and surrounding area are really great and not crowded. Everyone will find their ‘secret spot’ here.”

    We couldn’t believe that 8 days could go by so quickly.

    A beautiful villa in a lovely tranquil setting.

    We would improve the signage into the parking area as many cars seemed to use this private area for turning round or stopping to explore the beach and take photos before moving on.

    Exceptional villa with great location if you want to really relax, enjoy the pool and the sea. Strategically located to explore south Chania and Rethymno with numerous famous beaches nearby. As we know the area very well, we didn't venture out at all. We simply enjoyed the pool and the beach. The taverna's within two minutes walk are also very good for a simple good quality meal. The hosts are both very hospitable and very discreet. Upon arrival we had everything we needed for a long weekend break. I could easily see us there for a week of absolute relaxation.

    This location was the entire reason that we stayed in southern Crete. I fell in love with the images online and had to stay there with my family. We could have stayed forever. The owners were very communicative and brought my children gifts. I have never stayed in such a beautiful and peaceful place. I will go back here one day!

    nothing- everything was perfect!
