Holiday Rentals in Ayía Fotiá

"We stayed at Villa Manika at the beginning of July and had a wonderful time. The villa is a short drive to Sitia with shops, a beautiful harbour and lots of cafes and restaurants. We had a hire car but got a taxi a few times in the evening which was 8 Euros each way. The villa was very spacious, clean and well equipped, we also liked that it was laid out on one level. The pool was beautiful, it was a great size and the water temperature was perfect. Upon making our reservation Despina and...

"A very unusual and quirky place to stay, it has been converted to a comfortable holiday home on a number of levels ( so you need to have full mobility). Our host was very warm and welcoming and we had some very interesting conversations. the beds were very comfortable , the kitchen was well equipped too. It was a peaceful location set in beautiful gardens off the main road but it was very easy to visit the next village of Palekastro for shopping and eating in the tavernas. Not far into Siteia if...

"Our family really enjoyed staying here! Hosts are very nice and helpful. All of the beaches around have crystal clear water. We liked this place a lot!"

"I made a reservation via Expedia on January 19. We've paid for the room. Today we came to the hotel, on March 27, after 24 hours of traveling there from home in USA. Manager of the property told us she doesn't have a reservation from Expedia. Moreover we've got a confirmation from VRBO and owner of this particular studio i had reserved via Expedia and paid said that he does not know anything about us. We are using Expedia service for years and now we are in different country without place to...

Seasonal outdoor pool, pool umbrellas, pool loungers

"Room cleaning a little superficial"

"The air conditioning did not work for 3 days. However we had a great time other than that!! Great pools, friendly staff and fantastic scenery."

"The house is lovely - cosy but incredibly well used space and full of character. The views from the terrace are amazing and impossible to capture in a photo - genuinely the best in any place I have stayed anywhere."

"For my wife and me, this trip was a sort of honeymoon since we had just gotten married a month ago. After a year and a half of challenges and a super busy life, we were eager to disconnect from the entire world, relax and recharge at Natura Cottages. I'm happy to say that our experience exceeded our expectations, we couldn't be more satisfied with our stay. The cottage was exactly as pictured, and we instantly fell in love with the place. It’s evident that the owners of Natura Cottages love...

"The house had a fantastic sea view from almost every angle of the house and garden. The BBQ area was its own little resort with a sink and prep area as well as a jacuzzi , hammock and beautiful garden. All doors and windows had fully fitted insect nets and the AC was excellent. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Kitchen was very well equipped and super clean, all needed household items and cleaning products available in the small pantry. The property manager was excellent and on hand when ever...

"Exo Mouliana is a little village away from the usual tourist route but lays on the main road so it’s easy to get to places. Other villages we visited would have a winding narrow road you have to navigate for half an hour just to get to the main road. This place is very conveniently located however the house itself is high on the hill so you don’t hear the road or the noise from the centre of the village. In fact it was quiet and peaceful at night and not hot at all thanks to the light night...

"A beautiful villa with stuning views over the sea. It is well located for beach access and popping into the local town. The villa is well appointment and clearly well cared for with exceptional attention to detail. Would definitely look to stay again."

"Our holiday in the Villa met all our high expectations. The Villa has superb accommodation and outside areas and facilities. The Management Company looked after a couple of issues which arose, including loss of hot water, very quickly. Makry Gialos is a fantastic and authentic resort, away from the tourist hot spots. So nice, I fear its secret will be out soon and it will grow and lose some of its charm. I recommend you get to it now! Martyn, Shirley & family. "

"The Villa is absolutely stunning, modern & spotlessly clean with everything in the right place and a place for everything. Contact with the fantasics hosts George & Stella was first class. The views from the terrace and upper balcony are amazing. We have travelled the world and can honestly say this is our favourite place. We will definitely be back. Max & Dee"

"This apartment exceeded our expectations. Not only was it exactly as described and as the pictures showed, it was better in real life. Very spacious lounge area with comfy seating. The kitchen has plenty of equipment and a large Fridge/freezer. Super bathroom with a washing machine, and all the powder/conditioner needed to enable us to wash most of our clothes before we left. The views from the massive balconies was stunning. Being riggt in the town centre you can walk to loads of cafes &...

"Beautiful property unfortunately there’s an unpleasant sewer smell coming from the plumbing, otherwise we loved it!"

"A lovely place, situated conveniently close to beaches, various restaurants, local shops and a 'mini'market'. Free parking is available uncovered or covered. None of the properties around the 20m x 10m pool look at each other, increasing your privacy. The only downside was the management dealing with problems etc. We advised them that the TV was not working. They said that that they would arrange for an engineer to come out, but nobody came."

"Lovely property and surrounds. Huge pool almost to ourselves which was a great place to read a book in the shade and shelter from the wind."

"A lovely house for a relaxing holiday. No road noise, lovely views (mountains, sea, sunset). Many beaches within easy reach, with decent main roads. Makri Gialos was better than we expected for shopping, with a butcher and fruit & vegetable shop in addition to the mini markets (which sell most essentials) and cafes for treats. Nice restaurants such as Dragon's Cave, Diaskari, Kami, several along by the harbour and more all along the coast. Also Roman and Minoan ruins to add a bit of culture. The...

"Decouverte de la grece ouest plus nature"

"After some difficulty with directions found the villa in stunning location. Very comfortable and attractive place to stay. Host was very helpful, guiding us to nearest shop and the villa in person."

Great Villa and Location

"Our second stay here and it was just as good as the first time. Spacious and well equipped. Air conditioning kept it comfortable at night. Brilliant pool just a few metres away and with the beach and village just a few minutes walk everything you need is within easy access. We had a small water leak in the bathroom but 30 minutes after reporting it a member of staff arrived and it was quickly fixed. We were expecting a clean at the end of the first week. It wasn’t a big deal and we could have chased it up."

Lovely villa in a great location

"We stayed at Villa Manika at the beginning of July and had a wonderful time. The villa is a short drive to Sitia with shops, a beautiful harbour and lots of cafes and restaurants. We had a hire car but got a taxi a few times in the evening which was 8 Euros each way. The villa was very spacious, clean and well equipped, we also liked that it was laid out on one level. The pool was beautiful, it was a great size and the water temperature was perfect. Upon making our reservation Despina and Pantelis sent us emails with some suggestions on places to visit and restaurant recommendations which was very helpful. One suggestion would be that a welcome pack is provided with some essentials such as milk and bread etc, we had a very long journey so it would of been nice not to have to go to the supermarket immediately upon arrival. The only thing we felt that could be improved upon is an upgrade to the outdoor furniture and unfortunately the large parasol by the pool had a base which was unable to support it when the wind picked up and it kept getting blown over which could be dangerous. We noticed around the harbour area that the restaurants have their parasol bases bolted in the ground which might be a good idea. We very much enjoyed our stay here and it was a great base for exploring the eastern part of Crete. We would definitely stay at Villa Manika again when visiting this beautiful unspoilt part of the island. Thank you Pantelis and Despina for a wonderful stay."
