“Beautifully presented and surrounded by fantastic views”

Beautifully presented and surrounded by fantastic views of the sea to the north and the mountains in the south, Villa Annie was the perfect location for a much needed break. The property is immaculate and cleverly furnished; allowing you to relax in comfort at any hour of the day or night. The pool area is great for daytime lounging and in the late afternoon the roof terrace allows you to continue enjoying the sun as it begins to dip behind the hills to the West. We really enjoyed our stay and Ian and Annie could not have been more helpful and kind throughout.

“Can’t recommend highly enough”

If you want complete peace of mind in a luxurious villa among lavender and olive trees then this is the place for you! We stayed here with our two grown-up daughters who loved the roof terrace, the infinity pool, the state-of the-art kitchen and the widescreen TV. The views over Souda Bay were simply stunning as were the surrounding villages. We particularly enjoyed Almyrida with its fish tavernas and lively beach. The owners went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our holiday, while we were given a warm welcome by the housekeeper who made sure we familiarised ourselves with the villa on arrival. You will definitely need a car to reach this hilltop villa but its remoteness is part of its charm…and your neighbours are some very friendly sheep! Would love to return! Can’t recommend highly enough.

“Fantastic villa, great family break”

The villa had everything we could have wished for, lovely bedrooms, great kitchen and dining area, and even better a ”cool” outdoor area. Amenities were great. The pool was a good size, and the kids almost lived in there. The villa is very modern, chic and still makes you feel at home. We loved the different outdoor areas, including the roof terrace, the sun lounges and the petanque court. We enjoyed the gym equipment. One of the best parts of the villa was the amazing views of the mountains, the sea and the greenery. The sunrise and sunsets were perfect, and we also got a lovely breeze. You cannot see any other villas from the property, which makes it feel very private and relaxed. We had some great outings to Chania, Elafonissi, Loutro, some local villages and Almyrida. Warmly recommended!

“Paradise found!”

We stopped at Villa Annie for a glorious week at the beginning of June 2019. Set in private, gated grounds on the crest of a hill, the villa offers breathtaking 360 views to the sea, the mountains and the picturesque villages…Location-wise, we were a 6 min drive to Almyrida beach and a bit less to the beaches at Kera and Kalives. Airport was around 30 mins…Been on more than a few villa holidays over the years, Villa Annie was the truly stand out experience, we’ve already booked for next year.

“Absolutely stunning”

Absolutely stunning villa set on the side of a hill with stunning views of the sea and white mountains. 360 deg views from the glass surrounding roof top terrace. Luxury furnishings throughout and beautiful outdoor areas. Highly recommend.

“I want to die if heaven is like this”

Hanging in the middle of the countryside and the hills of Crete, we spent, as a family, an extraordinary week, a stone’s throw from charming villages where we ate our dinners each evening (magnificently rich and varied cuisine at unrivalled prices). The 3 bedroom house is decorated with refinement and simplicity; everything is there to spend a dream vacation. The pool is where we spent the most time, breathtaking view of the countryside and the sea.
