Perfection!!!!
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ada. Stelios was a fantastic host from before our stay even began. He sent us a list recommendations for restaurants and activities for us to consider. The house was just as amazing as shown in the picture. Make sure you plan your evening to enjoy the spectacular sunset. We had an amazing time and the kids were kept busy with the pool and the rest of the amenities. Thank you Stelios for hosting us at your Villa.

Villa for all
Very nice villa located high in the hills with great views of the town and sea. The villa is well kept and has something for everyone. The inside Great family space as well as the ability to have some personal space as well. The pool, bbq, wood oven and outside dining areas were a favourite. The villa has WiFi which covered the space well. In addition to a variety of fresh Rosemary, pomegranate, lemon, fig plants and trees on the grounds. Location wise it was great for us no more than 20 mins away from Heraklion Airport. Supermarkets also close by and town center, restaurants etc again no more than 20 mins away. Gournes beach was a favourite of ours as it was close by (by car). The Waterpark is a 5-6mins walk away which is a pleasant day out. The property owners were great anytime we needed anything they'd help and assist any way they could. Despite contracting covid they still ensured (via messages) our questions were answered. The villa is clean, plenty of utensils in the kitchen, bedding and towels provided with shower gel and shampoo. The gym, basketball and Cycles are are nice touch the equipment is basic but use able. For cycle enthusiasts you'll enjoy riding the steep hills and for those who aren't even the ride and breeze going down! We enjoyed our stay and liked to thank Stelios and his family for their great hospitality and would certainly like to return in the future!

Lovely villa, beautiful location
We have just returned from a fortnight in this fabulous villa. The views are breathtaking! There were 7 of us staying in the villa and there was plenty of room for everyone to either spend time together or do their own thing - swimming in the pool, playing table tennis, basketball or reading a book on the sun loungers or in the shade under the veranda. The villa was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We all slept very well. Stelios and his family were excellent hosts. Always very quick to respond to any queries and there to meet us when we arrived and say farewell on the last day. Very nice touch to receive a ‘goodbye’ gift from him too - thank you. We hired a VW transporter for the fortnight so we used that to drive the short distance in to the local town where there is a good selection of tavernas and a couple of supermarkets. The water park is a two minute walk away - perfect! The villa is ideally located if you want to explore the rest of the island of Crete. We spent a day in Agios Niklaus. It took about an hour to get there but well worth it. We had a fabulous holiday, thank you Stelios. Hope to return.

Fabulous Villa
We very much loved our stay at Villa Ada. The house is spacious with smartly furnished and comfortable rooms. The kitchen is well equipped, and indoor living area is open plan with ocean views. The panoramic views from the house are exceptional, waking up to the blue water and eating dinner whilst watching the sunset was truly special. The large pool as well as Jacuzzi were really great alongside the barbecue and eating area, and the basketball court an added bonus. Stelios and Maria were very gracious hosts, and sorted out any technicalities in a prompt and courteous manor. We would highly recommend this villa and hope to be back soon!

One of our best vacation stay ever!
Beautiful villa, with every detail thought of. What amazing view of Mediterranean sea. Our family had a wonderful week at Villa Ada. It was the perfect base to explore many attractions. Stelios and Maria could not have been more welcoming or helpful and it was lovely to be left a selection of local treats to enjoy. The villa is perfect, if you like a quiet spot away from the usual tourist routes, although it's easy to get to Heraklion and other sights and is only 15 minutes from the airport. Plenty of shops in the area, Kokkini Hani, and a lot lovely tavernas recommended by Stelios. The villa is beautifull with cool and big rooms and plenty of space. The pool area is huge, green and leafy, totally private and very sunny. There are other terraces and balconies, outdoor an lounge area, BBQ with a wood-fire oven, well-kept gardens with an abundance of flowers and trees, to choose from or seek solitude on. House is very well equipped with excellent AC in the bedrooms, gym, bikes, basketball.We loved the heated pool and Hot tub. We found satellite channels and the wifi is great, certainly able to stream a movie when needed. All in all, a lovely holiday. Thank you of the bottom of our heart!

Traumhaft
Wir haben vom 21.05.23 bis 31.05.23 mit der Familie unseren Urlaub in der Villa Ada verbracht. Die Villa, der Pool, der Garten, der Jacuzzi und der Ausblick waren ein Traum. Die Villa ist komfortabel und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, ausgestattet mit allem was man im Urlaub braucht. Die Anlage ist hervorragend geeignet für eine Familie, ausreichend Platz für alle und auch für sportliche Aktivitäten. Fahrräder, Tischtennisplatte, Darts, Fitnessgeräte und weitere Spiele standen zur Verfügung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Jacuzzi, in dem man liegt und den traumhaften Ausblick auf das Meer genießen kann. Wir möchten uns auf diesem Weg herzlich beim Vermieter Stelios bedanken. Er war sehr sympathisch und freundlich und jederzeit für uns erreichbar. Extrawünsche wurden sofort erledigt. Vielen Dank!

Amaing experience in all aspects
Super reception! Very accommodating to all inquiries and it made our stay incredible. The mid week cleaning was the most dilligent work I have ever seen and almost too much effort was put into making our stay spotless. Impressive house, view and service. Be advised though that a rental car is needed to do grocery shopping - unless you are extremely fond of mountain walks. Thank you…

Centraal gelegen met een indrukwekkend uitzicht.
Het huis is centraal gelegen om naar veel mooie en historische plaatjes te reizen. Buiten is het zeer goed onderhouden en zijn er meerdere plekken om lekker van de zon of juist de schaduw te genieten. En wat indrukwekkend uitzicht! Perfecte plek om te vertoeven rondom zwembad, jacuzzi, barbecue en pizza oven. Het huis is schoon en praktisch ingedeeld voor twee gezinnen of grotere groepen. De eigenaren zijn zeer vriendelijk en reageren/ handelen direct waar nodig. Ze geven je een zeer welkom gevoel en doen er alles aan om je verblijf zo fijn mogelijk te maken. Wij hebben er met 2 gezinnen en hele fijne tijd gehad!

We had a super week in the villa. With a gap of more than 50 years between the youngest and oldest guest everyone felt comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone. Nice pool and a portable speaker made for a great atmosphere. Stelio was a really professional and sympathetic host that made sure everything was good for us. Can absolutely recommend this villa 😃
