Beachfront Family Villa Katerina with Private pool, Playground, BBQ & Amazing Sea Views!

Our large family really enjoyed Villa Katerina. It was very accommodating with lots of space for gathering as well as personal/quiet space. The views are as good as it gets, really from anywhere on the property. We spent a lot of time out back near the pool area but also did quite a bit of snorkeling and the beach/cove area was great for that. There were plenty of options within a few minutes walking distance for food and drink as well as views. It is right next to Mimi’s Taverna which had great food, views, but most of all, the staff was very welcoming and warm. Grocery options very close as well, 6-7 minute drive. Petro was very responsive and welcoming. He along with Katerina were kind and gracious hosts and we would absolutely come back again!

We stayed at Villa Katerina in Crete as a group of 12 and overall had a great holiday. We’d rate it 4/5.The biggest selling point is without a doubt the view, it is absolutely stunning and completely made our stay. The outdoor space and pool were fantastic, and we spent most of our time there. The nearby beach cove was great fun, and the location was ideal, with Lidl just 10 minutes away and plenty of restaurants and beach clubs within walking distance.A special mention to Petros, the villa manager, who was friendly, attentive and always quick to help.The villa was generally clean and had everything we needed, but the interior is looking tired and would benefit from some TLC. There were peeling bed headboards, peeling paint, cracks and possible damp marks on some walls. Some bedding had stains, the blankets felt dated, and the mattresses were hit and miss. The kitchen was also quite small for 12 people. The sunbeds were uncomfortable, and although cushions were provided after we mentioned it, they didn’t make much difference.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay thanks to the incredible views, great location and excellent service from Petros. With a modest refresh to the interior and furnishings, this villa could easily be exceptional. We’d happily return if those improvements were made.

This home is immaculately maintained by a family that will host you as if you were their family too. It is spacious and you will find everything you would ever want or need in your own home. The pool is huge and the grounds and gardens are so beautifully maintained that you will think you are in paradise. There is a private beach you can swim at also. You cannot ask for a better, more inviting home to have your family reunion or get together at!!!

Excellent stay for three families and grandparents. Three small apartments on ground floor (one double bedone single bed per appartment, one also with sofa bed). Two doubles and two singles on first floor. All rooms with air condition.The small (rocky) beach right below the house has amazingly clear waters, and the pool was great for our kids (7-11 years.). Only 100m to a great taverna (Mimi’s). Also near a really nice sandy beach with a beach bar/restaurant.From first floor, the ocean view is amazing, and we ate on the terrass several nights, at sunset. And the garden is beautifully kept.Only a few and minor ”complaints”. The family kitchen on the first floor is on the smaller side, and there is no fridge next to bbq area (a bit of a hassle to run up and down to fetch cold beverages). Also you need a car to get to a grocery store. But overall a wonderful stay, including hospitality from Petros and Katerina, and the two very cute ”house” cats (loved by the kids).

We all had a wonderful time on our family vacation. The house was very comfortable and clean. The outdoor spaces of this villa are beautiful beyond words. The owners of the home were very nice and welcoming! Katrina even gifted us a few of her pictures which she painted. There are three tavernas within walking distance. They were also awesome! We definitely recommend this experience! Wish we could have stayed longer!
