10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
Our stay at Inn Villa was perfect. We stayed for 6 nights and the house was stocked with everything we needed for our holiday. The welcome basket and bottle of wine was a lovely treat for a long travelling day. Nikoaeta was the perfect host. The house was much larger than we needed but was the perfect location so we booked it and so happy we did. We had a car rental but beach, restaurants and shopping were very close by. We did a lot of exploring and loved coming back to our villa to have a swim in the beautiful private pool. We could not have been happier.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2024
This villa is outstanding in every way and can't thank Nikoleta enough for all the help and kindness during our stay would definitely recommend
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2023
This is a fantastic villa in an excellent location, definitely a five star option. Everything has been really well thought out to help you relax and enjoy the holiday. There are lots of nice, thoughtful touches (ready supply of toiletries in the bathrooms, good quality beach towels, welcome pack, pool toys), the layout is really good (a nice cool eating area, a lovely sun terrace and a smaller seating area for when it gets too hot) and the villa and surrounding area is immaculate.
I would recommend hiring a car if staying here as Sfakaki is quite a small, sleepy village and its useful to have independent transport to explore further afield, and it would also be quite tough to walk from the local supermarket with any serious volume of shopping.
Nicoleta could not have been a better host and was always available to help out where needed
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2023
We stayed at the villa the first two weeks of July 2023 and it could not have been better!
The villa is very well furnished and extremely clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware which was great for us as it allowed us to cook some meals when the children were too tired to go out at night. We had air conditioning for those hot days and a pool to cool off.
The hosts cleaned the outside very often before we were up. We did not even notice when they came by.
The villa is close to the sea, small markets, coffee shops, a bakery, etc. A car is still recommended to get around further.
And the best for last! Our host Nikoleta was amazing. She waited for us at our arrival and welcomed us with a basket of gifts and gave us some gifts when we left too. She was very welcoming and very helpful with recommendations.
We had a great stay and would recommend this villa to anyone!
