Amazing place with lovely views and really friendly owners. Perfect location to relax and take in the stunning scenery. Highly recommended. Lots if activities to get involved in. Eco friendly holidays at their best.

Amazing service. Host and staff were so friendly and welcoming, they go above and beyond to make you feel accommodate and comfortable. Beautiful scenery, amazing food, everything you would want. I would 1000% recommend.

We have been coming to Achlada since 2013, almost every year, visiting our friends Marcos and Valerianos. This place is so nice to stay, calm olive garden around, breathtaking sun sets every evening and beautiful sea views from each villa and terraces. The villa is clean and well designed, also pool is clean and refreshing. You can order tradition Cretan dinner for very good price, all done from local ingredients and really delicious. From this place you can travel to lots of other great beaches every day, just short drive away. Very close to Heraklion to visit museums, to do shopping and visit good restaurants too. This year is first year of Ellie and George taking care of apartments and they are doing they job really well with big enthusiasm, we were very happy to met them and drink wine together. It is really our love place, with great spirit, for sure we come next years again.

Coming to Crete at least once a year we have stayed in many places during all the years. This one was by far the best we have ever been to. We had a wonderful time there! Its location is perfect… high on a Mountain with the view of the sea on the one side and Heraklion on the other. Watching the sunset In the evening feels like being in paradise. The apartments are very clean and equipped with everything you need! Travelling with children, the pool is the best thing to entertain them..You should definitely not miss the fantastic food served there! We were warmly welcomed by Elli and Giorgos who are the most friendly, open-minded and helpful hosts we have ever met!!! We are looking forward so much to swing them again next year Daniela, Babis, Maria and Manos

Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und flexibel. Sie gehen gerne auf jeden Wunsch der Gäste ein und verraten ein paar Geheimtipps zu den besten Restaurants und Stränden in der Umgebung. Die Anlage befindet sich in einer sehr ruhigen Lage fern ab von dem Touristen trouble, sie ist dennoch sehr gut angebunden. Mit dem Auto braucht man ca. 10min um in die nächste Stadt zu gelangen (Agia pelagia). Den Abend kann man auf der Terrasse der Anlage ausklingen lassen und die unschlagbare Sicht auf das Meer genießen, die vor allem zum Sonnenuntergang atemberaubend ist! Ich kann diesen Ort wärmstens weiter empfehlen!!! Danke für die schöne Zeit!
