Fissi Villa Havudsigt Hus Ideelt For Familier

Staying at Fissi Villas for 11 nights made for a very special family trip. The hosts Yanna and Yannis are wonderfully warm and thoughtful hosts who made us feel completely welcomed in Crete. Yanna helped us with all our arrangements regarding our late night arrival, and was there to meet us after our long journey, and had generously provided us with food ready for the morning, as well as a liberal supply of their delicious organic olive oil. The house is immaculately clean and extremely well provided with equipment and thoughtful touches. But it is the wonderful terrace with its sea view, where we spent our favourite time at the house, reading, eating, and the children playing in the play area. The nearby beaches are wonderful for swimming and our oldest son did lots of walking in the hills nearby. Yanna gave us great recommendations for visiting monasteries and villages where we could get meals in tavernas. When there was a difficulty with a blown fuse Yanna and Yannis sprang into action to get it fixed and could not have been more helpful as hosts. The gardens of the 2 villas are full of trees and plants, so the setting is really beautiful. There is some light traffic noise from the road, but the house is set back from the road, protected by trees and raised up the hillside, so the view is of the sea, and the road sounds are mostly drowned out by the sounds of cicadas! Good air conditioning in bedrooms. Thank you Yanna and Yannis for an idyllic time in friendly Crete!

We stayed in the Fissi Villa for 6 nights and couldn’t have been happier with the villa, the location, the cleanliness of the property, and the host!! The villa is only 5-10 minutes away from 2 really nice beaches, and only 10 minutes from downtown Agios Nikolaos. The villa was surrounded by plants and flowers, with an amazing view of the water and mountains. The host Yanna was also SO AMAZING. She greeted us with yogurt and homemade candied fruit, and gave us detailed recommendations of places to eat, park, and visit. She came by an additional 2 times to treat us to homemade pies and a small going away gift. She was so friendly and helpful and really made the villa feel like home.

The apartment as well as the surrounding garden was perfect for our kids (age 1 and 3) given the playground and available toys. The place has an amazing view and is well maintained. The hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly. We can only recommend this place. The only slight drawback is that with very little kids, no beach nor restaurant is walkable and you need to drive.
