Beautiful house
An amazing house overlooking the sea, with a beautiful pool and great outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. We views from the house are spectacular. Very private house and so very quiet. The beach is a short 5 minute walk down at the end of the street. Restaurants and stores in the local town are ~10 min walk. Plenty of options for food. Easily accessible by car and easy private parking as well. The host (Christine) s wonderful and caring. She kept checking with us throughout the visit and is very responsive on WhatsApp. Hoghly recommend it. Definitely going back in the future.

This is a wonderful villa just above the sea and beach with uninterrupted panoramic views across to Spinalonga and along to Plaka. Complimentary beach sunbeds are available when staying at the villa. The village itself which is lovely ( 5-10 minutes walk ) has a good selection of quality restaurants together with several bars, shops and a couple of small supermarkets. The owner ( Susanne ) and manager ( Christine ) were very helpful and easy to deal with. Christine organised airport transfers for us together with a supermarket contact which delivered for our arrival although there was also a nice welcome pack provided. We also rented a small automatic car so we could explore a bit from a local company ( Eagle ) which they delivered to and collected from the villa at a good fully inclusive price and excellent service. We took a taxi one evening into the neighbouring town of Elounda which is also nice although we decided we preferred Plaka. Overall we had a great time and thoroughly recommend the property to anyone wishing to visit this part of Crete.

Perfection
We arrived late at night and were given clear instructions about the villa access (01:00 hence no meet and greet). The taxi from the airport was booked by Christine and the driver present when we arrived. On arrival at the villa we could not sleep for another hour as the villa was stunning and exceeded our expectations. We met with Christine the following morning for introductions and if we were happy with everything. Christine was terrific, friendly, engaging and professional. The next twelve days were bliss. One restaurant in our mind stood out 'Ta Kymata' which is adjacent to the mini supermarket on the left. The wild mushroom risotto and a portion of french fries were fantastic. Being creatures of habit, well, we returned five times over the course of the twelve days. Aisa restaurant is great for lunches and near the beach. Back to villa. Everthing spotless, piping hot water, good power showers, very large patio area, fantastic pool, etc, etc. The view of Spinalonga and Plaka is unsurpassed. We will definitely return. Christine was a credit to her profession. Near the end of our vacation my wife fell ill (allergic to an Antibiotic course of medicine she was currently on) and i contacted Christine who without hesitation arranged for a doctor who arrived within two hours. My wife was much better after some prescriptive medicine. A big thanks to Christine. We won't forget that.

Amazing villa in Crete!
Our family had the most amazing time at this Villa. We spent 5 glorious nights, Christine was so helpful as the property manager, met us there and walked us through the house at the beginning of our stay. The views are incomparable, Plaka is very beautiful, and quiet. The pool is gorgeous, and if you love sunrises, words can't describe how beautiful the sunrise is here. It's a short walk to a beach and great restaurants/grocery. We would absolutely return, it was truly like a dream.

dreamy stay at Crete Dreams
Our family had a fabulous stay at Vill Crete Dreams in early April. Our ages ranged from 5 to 68, and there was something for all of us there. The villas was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. We awoke to magical views, had morning walks along the coast, took the boat trip to Spinalonga and a day trip to Knossos, visited several beaches within a 15-20 minute drive, played card games on rainy days, and took daily strolls into the village for dinner at a different restaurant every night. Because the season was just starting, we often had the restaurants to ourselves and were treated royally by the restaurant staff. Our time in Crete was too short. We will dream of returning to this special island someday.

Great place but needs hot water for showers and a working toilet

Not great for the couple staying there. They had to climb up steps and use one of the other bathrooms to shower. Otherwise, everything would have been wonderful.

The Best Views of the Sea + the Moon
This home was perfect for our large group traveling to Plaka. The outdoor space, ocean views, and pool is as advertised with close access to a beach with beautiful clean water for swimming right down the hill below the home. We spent all of our time outside and made good use to the BBQ to cook fish, prawns, and octopus we purchased from the fish market. We also ordered in food from Spinalonga Taverna and Marias Taverna and ate regularly on the covered balcony as we would watch the full moon rise majestically over the island of Spinalonga. The rooms were large and the beds easily and comfortably accommodated all the adults in our party. The hosts were amazing letting us check in early due to our early morning arrival which allowed us to enjoy the day and have a cool place for my grandmother to stay during the heat of the day. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking equipment which we found handy as we prepared meals for the group. We really enjoyed the area and village of Plaka. It was very inviting and nice to walk around with cute little shops, delicious ice cream, bars, and great restaurants. The sun beds at the beach were free for anyone staying at the home (which was a great perk) and the water was beautiful for swimming. We would stay here again and really appreciate the setting this home provided for the start of our family vacation!

A little piece of heaven
We booked last minute having not been able to travel to Portugal and this Villa and its position over looking the sea and Spinalonga Island was absolutely stunning. Plaka, (a five minute walk) is a gorgeous classically Greek and sleepy little town with friendly locals and fabulous Taverna's. We had hired a car and visited nearby Elounda for larger Supermarket shopping, Andreas the butcher and Angela's cake shop for the best Baklava that we had ever tasted. The Infinity pool is salt water and the most refreshing and wonderful way to cool off. There are steps down from the lane below the villa to the beach and it has always been a dream to be able to stay somewhere and walk to the sea. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for me and my three young adult children, 22, 20 and 18. My son and I had our own rooms and my two daughters shared so we were all together on the same floor and met in the wonderful glass fronted living area in the mornings before heading out onto the terrace to watch the morning boats coming and going to Spinalonga. It was a dreamy holiday and we very much hope to return.

We never tire of this lovely villa
We have been to this villa in lovely Plaka several times and we never tire of it. We have left reviews previously but wanted to say again that this villa is exceptional for style, location and value; the arrangements before and during the stay are perfect - helpful without being invasive; the village is perfect with a great beach for swimming, just enough lovely bars and restaurants and practical shops - and the view each morning and evening from our terrace is unforgettable. We enjoyed another great stay - thanks to Christine for her help and kindness as always - and we hope to be back again soon! Cannot recommend this highly enough - my only reservation is that too many people will get to know about it!!

This was our fourth holiday in this villa. Plenty of outdoor space and good size pool over looking the island of Spinalonga. Villa is well equipped and a ‘welcome pack’ of essentials was provided. The location is great - short walk (200m) into Plaka village and the stony beach and short drive to Elounda. The walk up to the villa and the steps to the pool mean that this villa is probably not suitable for those with mobility problems and/or young children. I have no doubt that we will return to Plaka and this villa.
