Beautiful Home and Breathtaking views
We just came back from our amazing stay at Villa Diana. We didn’t want to leave..everything about our vacation at the villa was top notch. Myron meant us at the Villa the night we got there and showed us around.( we appreciated that so much)..We knew when we got there that we picked the perfect place for our vacation. We just kept looking around in awe at how beautiful everything was. He also left us eggs, meat, cheese, bread, fruit, olive oil etc. That was such a nice surprise and very much appreciated. When we woke the next morning and the sun was out..we couldn’t believe the views ..full sea and Mountain views. Simply breathtaking 😍. We were a family of 5 and all had our own room and bathroom with another room and bathroom to spare. The elevator to our bedroom was so handy too. The outside area was like a resort.. Beautiful pool, hot tub, gym, ping pong table and an outdoor kitchen. The nights we were home we used the outdoor kitchen and ate outside surrounded by all the beauty. The location was perfect …so quiet and peaceful. Myron and his parents were amazing hosts and went above and beyond making sure everything was perfect. Bringing us extra oil and always being available if we needed to know anything. We hope to return. Thanks again Myron to you and your family for everything… was the best vacation ever…from all of us. 🤗😎

Amazing Villa
From the moment we arrived and met our host Myron, we just knew we had booked an amazing place. The villa is just stunning, the pool and hot tub a perfect relaxation after a day of exploring. It was my husband’s birthday while we were visiting and Myron even came back with a cake and card. He also gave us tips on where to visit, this Villa is a must for a group booking , plenty to do and see (car is required) and also you must visit the local taverna Cristos for home cooked food and friendly family welcome . Crete you will always have our heart and we will be back

Fantastic Villa!
From booking the Villa Myron the host could not have been more helpful. He provided us with lots of recommendations of restaurants, beaches and activities. The photos of the Villa did not do it justice, it was perfect for our 2 x families. The outside space, from the clean large pool, to the various balcony's and terraces offered spectacular views of the coast, hills and sunsets. We used the wonderful outside kitchen and dining area with its charcoal BBQ and wood burning oven on several evenings. The Villa was well equipped with everything you would need and very clean with great air conditioning and security. The Villa is in the hills which gives it it's secluded feel and wonderful views, including mountain goats! Worth noting because of this it is a 10 min drive/taxi to Rethmyno for the beaches and restaurants. It is also perfectly positioned to get to the south coast (approx. 30mins by car) where there are superb beaches, smaller coves and crystal clear waters. All in all a fantasitc villa enjoyed by both the adults and children, superb value and supported by a wonderful host. Perfect.

Excellent villa, great host!
Stayed with friends and we had a great time! It’s a bit of a drive from the Heraklion airport, so renting a car is strongly advisable. The villa is great, with a view of the ocean, privacy, and all the amenities as advertised. it was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Myron, the host, was very friendly, responsive and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Phenomenal
From booking to check out everything was perfect! Owner, Myron, came to get us in town as we were lost. When we arrived at the gorgeous house he showed us all around and answered our few questions. The few times we had questions after he left, he quickly responded to our messages. The refrigerator was stocked with eggs, butter, bread, meat and cheese, also there was local honey, olive oil, and raki. It was wonderful to have food available after a day of travel. Also on Easter his father brought us traditional Easter bread and red eggs, very sweet of him to share their traditions with us. The house and patio were unbelievably gorgeous! Everything was so clean! Balconies off every single room, most with views to the sea. Pool area and outdoor kitchen were spectacular. No details were overlooked in this house! The beds and pillows were very comfortable, as was the furniture throughout the house. There were laundry facilities on two different floors of the house which was very convenient, including a dryer or a patio with a line to hang your clothes. Kitchen had every cooking item needed to prepare meals and was spacious. There were only three of us on this trip, and we took rooms on different floors. Which was great. However, This house would easily accommodate 4 couples. All rooms have en-suite bathroooms, although two have twin beds instead of a single double bed. Highly recommend this picture perfect house and host! We hope to return again one day! Thank you, Myron!

Amazing house
We traveled to Crete as a party of 9. The house was more then accommodating for everyone. Is very spacious and airy and has all the amenities that one may need for their stay. The surprising part was the elevator which came in very handy. The views from the house are unmatched, specially at the sunset. You can enjoy the views unobstructed and in complete privacy. Myron is an amazing host. He answered all our questions and requests very fast. Besides he surprised us with a lots of goodies that he left for us in the refrigerator. Overall it was an amazing experience and i would definitely recommend it wholeheartedly. We would definitely go back.

Beautiful, luxury villa in a fantastic location with amazing views
We stayed for 10 nights in August and absolutely loved our time here. Myron is a perfect host and welcomed us to the villa, provided us with all we needed. The villa is spotless and in a wonderful setting in the countryside with so many views that we had to make sure we sat on all the balconies. Rethymno is only ten minutes drive away and great for beach, harbour, castle, shops and eating/drinking. Would recommend the sunset cruise for more amazing views. The villa is also good for exploring the south of the island, which took 30-40 minutes, through more great scenery/gorge. We visited Chania and Heraklion and found all to be interesting and engaging places to visit. Myron was very attentive and helpful and the fresh produce that he and his family provide near daily was incredibly generous. Overall a brilliant place to stay - we hope to return.

Fabulous family holiday!
Myron and his family couldn't have been more welcoming. The villa was cool and airy. The pool was always spotless. The different seating areas making the most of the fabulous views. Myron and family were there if you needed them and discreet when tending to the needs of the villa, for example the spotless pool. When my daughter had a ear infection, Myron kindly organised a doctors appointment and it was sorted within the hour! It was very easy to settle into the holiday as every need had been thought of. Little treats from there home grown fruit and fresh eggs were just a couple of the thoughtful things offered to us. In summary the villa was wonderful but the family were the cherry on top! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Claire xx

Breathtaking on arrival
We spent spent 10 nights at the glorious villa Dianna in its beautiful rural setting. The villa is extremely high spec providing luxury accommodation. We were welcomed on arrival by Myro and he had been so helpful during the organising, including helping us book a car from his friend. Each bedroom has its own en suite facilities, electric shutters, mosquito doors and air conditioning in every room-there is even a lift! We could not recommend this villa enough - you have to go! The family who own the villa are very attentive to your every need, extremely friendly and insistent on you enjoying your holiday and we thought they were lovely and made the experience. They went above and beyond; we were allowed to pick their own fresh produce from the garden and we were made to feel very special. The outside area had an oven and BBQ, we even made our own pizzas in the pizza oven! The views were stunning and the sound of the goats bells wandering home every evening gave an incredible atmosphere from the beautiful top terrace. There were so many beautiful terraces to sit on! There was even a gym which we used on one occasion, to allow us to continue to keep celebrating without gaining too much weight and extinguish our guilt for being so lazy! The pool was delightful and a great size. A car gets you to where you need to be very easily, as the supermarkets and shops are very close. We even had a taxi on one occasion which was a very reasonable price and the roads up to the villa are very accessible. We can't recommend our stay more highly please go and visit. The family are so lovely we welcome them to visit us back in England anytime Xx

Fantastic!
We really enjoyed staying in this house. It was very clean and well equipped and there was nothing we felt we missed. The owners were very warm, friendly and welcoming, and were so helpful with advice and making sure everything was perfect for us. They had filled the fridge with essential food on arrivel and provided us with fresh eggs and fruit during our stay. In other words, they were so friendly and generous and we felt spoiled! The location of the house is in our opinion perfect, as it is in a quiet area and provides a magnificant view of the sea and the mountains. It's easy to get around and only about 30 minutes to some of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. The outdoor area of the house is just amazing. Big clean pool and outdoor shower, well equiped barbeque area (even a pizza owen), furniture and sunbeds. So comfertable that we spendt many of our days by the pool rather than going to the beach. We are allready thinking of coming back next year and would warmly recommend this house to others. Thanks again to the family for contributing to making our stay so perfect and wonderful!

Mukava lomaviikko
Vietimme viikon kahden perheen voimin huvilalla. Huvila oli vielä paremmin varusteltu, mitä esittelykuvien perusteella odotettiin. Tulimme perille myöhään illalla. Isäntä oli meitä vastassa ja jääkaappiin oli varattu reilut iltapalatarpeet. Illallisia oli mukava nauttia auringonlaskua ihastellessa. Pizzauuni tuli testattua ja todettiin toimivaksi. Etenkin nuoriso viihtyi pingispöydän ääressä. Lämpimässä ulkoporeammeessa oli mukava ihastella auringonlaskua ja Kreetan tähtitaivasta. Sijainti oli hyvä, jos hakee omaa rauhaa. Kaiken kaikenkaikkiaan jäi todella hyvä kuva paikasta. Vahva suositus!
