Everything and more
We had a great stay at Villa Mantilari that hosted our wedding celebration. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We took many recommendations from ThinkVilla, from the car rental to wedding planner, that did not disappoint. It is such a beautiful property that pictures do not quite give it justice. Do not hesitate to stay here!

Just amazing
Absolutely stunning property, furninshed to a high standard and with bags of charm. Just perfect for 19 of us from 5 different families, everyone had their own space. Lots of locations around the villa that were perfect at different times of day and room for all of us to have lunch/dinner together. Eleni and team super helpful and responsive. Cleaning was very well done every day. Highly recommended!

Magical Oasis with Glorious Views
This is the most spectacular place we’ve ever stayed. From the moment we arrived we felt pampered and spoiled with the most fine decor, foods, scenery, and friendly hosts. The grounds are tremendously cared for and breathtaking. We drank local wines and ate a range of fresh vegetables from the garden and cheeses available to us. The beds are delicious and there is ample space to lounge, play, read quietly. Our kids were in love with the two pools and even a playroom. It is also a perfect location to explore Knossos nearby. We did two other day trips to Spinalonga and Lasithi plateau, and we loved returning to this luxurious estate. The owners and cleaning staff helped with every need along the way. Truly, a delightful stay. We hope to return for a wedding someday!

An excellent stay at a beautiful property
We couldn’t recommend Villa Mantilari highly enough. From the booking process to when we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble. Eleni and her family made our stay perfect and the villa itself is out of this world. All the rooms are beautifully decorated, spacious and have everything you could possibly need. Our party was a combination of adults and children and it worked perfectly for all of us. The 2 pools provided hours of entertainment and the views are simply breathtaking. The attention to detail really made our trip special and gave us all a much needed break.
