Lovely Villa
Really lovely villa, beautiful location/grounds. The views were stunning. Really nice outside area for cooking and dining. Very clean and tidy property with good amenities. The only downside for us (and definitely NOT a deal breaker) was that there is a bedroom excluded from the villa with its own external door and no en-suite, so needed to walk around to the toilet by the swimming pool at night. We didn’t really mind this, so no trouble but good to be aware of. We hired a car a few days in, as we felt this was necessary due to the property being rural and taxis being expensive (due to the location, an extra €15 was being added to trips). We should’ve got a car from day 1 so definitely recommend to hire a car. The host was very accommodating, helpful and great at communicating. Very happy with our stay here and will definitely consider returning when planning future holidays :)

Peacefully superb
This villa was probably one of the best we have stayed at, situated up in the mountains with complete privacy. It was spotlessly clean and the pool was perfect!! The outside space was just amazing as shown in the pictures. We would highly recommend this villa and will definitely be going back. (You will need to hire a car)

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit an diesem perfekten Ort
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit an diesem perfekten Ort. Die Kommunikation ab der Buchung bis zur Abreise war einwandfrei! Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen! Da wir erst spät angereist sind, hat Yiannis sogar für Snacks und Getränke gesorgt. Wir haben uns in der sauberen und schönen Unterkunft sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich kann es jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde immer wieder buchen. Ein Auto ist auf jeden Fall von Nöten, aber dafür hat man komplette Privatsphäre und eine malerische Aussicht. Der Außenbereich lässt keine Wünsche übrig - der Infinity-Pool ist perfekt und man hat einige Sitzgelegenheiten, die zum Verweilen einladen. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit an diesem schönen Ort.

Absolut empfehlenswert!
Die Villa ist noch viel schöner als auf den Bildern und die schönste Ferienunterkunft die ich je besucht habe. Von der Sauberkeit bis hin zur Lage und der Kommunikation mit dem Host. Alles top! Man benötigt allerdings auf jeden Fall ein Auto. Wir waren in einer Vierergruppe dort und hatte eine super Zeit. Ich kann dir Villa uneingeschränkt empfehlen. 5 Sterne!

Magnifique séjour chez OLIVE GROVE VILLA-Crête
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour à la villa Olive Grove. Des gourmandises et rafraîchissements attendaient notre arrivée. La villa est reculée et nous sommes tranquille. Les enfants ont pu jouer sans déranger. La piscine est top et la villa bien agencée. Une cuisine d'été nous a permis de profiter de l'extérieur et de la vue. Sans compter le ballet tous les soirs des hirondelles venant se rafraîchir dans la piscine. Top, je recommande.

Spectacular!
Bei diesem Ferienhaus wird der Spruch wahr; kommen als Gast, gehen als Freund. Wir kamen und wurden sehr freundlich von Yiannis empfangen. Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Lage mit absoluter Privatsphäre. Es hat ein offener Sicht zu dem Meer und seitlich zu den Landflächen mit Olivenbäumen. Kein einziges Haus hatte direkten Sicht zu dem Haus bzw. Pool. Das Haus wurde für Eigennutzung mit sehr vielen Details geräumig und qualitativ gebaut und gestaltet. Sogar Insektenschutz bei den Türen und Fenster, alles war gedacht! Aber alles! Möbel sind sehr neu, zusätzliche Dusche und WC im Terasse waren sehr nützlich. Erholungsmöglichkeiten, Fernseher mit Internetzugang in allen Zimmer, Playstation, Smart Leuchtensteuerung, Fahrräder, Carpot für Autos, verschiedene Sitzgruppen draußen, sehr nützliche Einbauküche, sogar Olivrnöl von Eigenherstellung, usw. Wir sind absolut begeistert und zufrieden. Das eigentliche Juwel der Villa ist aber der Eigentümer Yiannis. Er ist sehr freundlicher, netter Gastgeber und hat uns bei allen Anliegen geholfen bzw. uns orientiert. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen und natürlich netter, freundlicher Yiannis kennenzulernen!

Heaven on Earth!
We were in the olivegrove villa with a group of five friends in June 2023 and it was just fantastic! Absolutely clean and hygienic. Fantastic view, beautiful pool and pure relaxation. Yiannis was the nicest host we have ever had. He was always available and answered us quickly. Extra requests from our side were not a problem. We felt absolutely comfortable and will definitely come back. FULL recommendation from us. There could not have been a nicer place to stay. I promise. Thank you very much and best greetings from Germany!
