Beautiful vineyard stay and property
Pros:

Stunning location, very peaceful and quality amenities. Lovely breakfast they bring to your suite to enjoy on the patio overlooking the vineyards. Took a tour and wine tasting and they were flexible to add us on despite no reservation.

Cons:

Only negative is ZERO response from the host. Literally did not respond to my messages and I used a few methods. And difficult to connect with anyone at the winery since she didn’t respond to my questions due to their hours as well.

Pros:

Fantastic location, away from the city but only an 15 min drive from the city centre. Excellent breakfast. Thanks to Ms Chryssa for the great hospitality. The main bed was very comfortable however the sofa bed wasn’t.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war modern eingerichtet, da gibt es nichts zu kritisieren. Wenn man unten das Apartment hat ist auch eine sehr schöne gemütliche Terrasse dabei, oben gibt es auch eine Terrase aber ohne Charme. Die Gastgeber waren eher unpersönlich und konnten nur bedingt auf Wünsche eingehen. Wir hatten uns so auf das Weingut gefreut und konnten nicht mal Weine verkosten weil Wochenende war. Schade...

Pros:

One of the best properties to stay in Crete to get the real Cretan countryside feeling. Magnificent mountain and hill views, comfortable room and very nice people. Part of the Skalani area, good access to highways, and only 15 minutes drive to the center of Heraklion.

Pros:

The vineyard these villas are located on is absolutely beautiful. The breakfast is amazing and made to order (you fill out a breakfast menu card when checking in and it’s served at a time of your choosing each morning). It’s a rustic but elegant place and in need of a deep clean. The floors, bathroom and sheets are definitely well looked after but every corner has cobwebs and spider nests dot the ceilings. The outdoor patio furniture could use a good scrub. I washed down the table and chairs myself before breakfast was served. This place is still worth the stay but be cautious if you’re looking for ‘crystal-clean’.

Very good
Pros:

Beautiful settling among vineyards, breakfast excellent. Staff are fantastic 👍 Pity residents had to pay €25pp for wine tasting. Dinner is €40 pp at the restaurant booked 24 hours in advance and not many other options for dinner nearby.

Pros:

Quando ti trovi veramente bene lontano da casa, quasi da sentirti come a casa!
Tutto perfetto, la permanenza in un posto magnifico in mezzo alle vigne, anche se a poca strada da Heraklion, è stata veramente rilassante. Colazione servita nella stanza (ampia e luminosa), con annessa doccia enorme (con vetrata che da sulla camera da letto), bagno con ogni ammennicolo, camera con frigobar, macchinetta Nespresso, bollitore con caffè solubile e infusi, acqua offerta, aria condizionata/riscaldamento, TV, un armadio spazioso, la cassaforte, un letto comodo con due tipologie di cuscini. La colazione abbondante viene servita all'orario richiesto. All'esterno, una veranda con sedie e tavolini utili per le serata calde, giusto per respirare l'aria fresca.
La gentilezza della proprietaria, superlativa!
