Villa Despina i Kissamos

Very good communication once booked. Great welcome and show around by the owner. Cleanest villa we have ever stayed in. Good level of equipment in the villa. sundries like cling film, foil, dishwasher and washing machine tablets. BBQ fuel and lighters were provided. Fantastic location for small supermarkets, pharmacy, bakeries, tavernas. The beach is about 10/15 min easy walk away. The owner could not have done more for us.

Very nice host and a superb villa. We regret we spent only 8 days. Still miss the time in Villa Despina.

Firstly a note about our host, Stelios. The warmest of welcomes, ensured we were fully informed and was available if required (we didn’t need anything)…great communication throughout and really tried to make our stay the most enjoyable experience, even offering to personally take us to “The big supermarket” as we didn’t have cars! The lemon pie left for us on arrival and midweek, and the olive oil from his farm were the nice touches which make a difference. Now Villa Despina: absolutely spotlessly clean inside and out. A very well equipped kitchen, great living area which easily accommodated 7 of us. Bedrooms were very good size, beds very comfortable and bathrooms and showers were great. The gardens were well presented and relaxing, the pool is great - we used it before breakfast and after retuning from the beach to cool off, very safe and clean. The area is fine, cockerels in the background, occasional church bells but definitely not intrusively noisy. Well located with lots of mini-marts, coffee/pastry and ice cream shops within a few minutes and only 5 minutes walk to some local shops and tavernas. A further 5 mins walk down to the sea front where you can drink, feast and shop as you please. Great beach about 15mins walk, perfect for kids and water sports. In summary, we had a fantastic holiday, Stelios and Villa Despina definitely contributed to this…if we return to Kissamos we would absolutely return to Villa Despina which is the highest recommendation I can give.

Villa Despina is a fabulous villa with a private pool in a great location to explore western Crete. Kissamos is a lovely seaside town with lots of excellent tavernas and cafes all within a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from the villa. Stelios the host is such a lovely attentive host giving recommendations for eating and towns to visit and always available to help. I would highly recommend Villa Despina for a great Cretan holiday

Luxuriöses Villa zum wohlfühlen. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Alles sauber. Eigener Pool mit eigenen Liegen. Alle 5 Tage wurde gereinigt und Handtücher und Bettwäsche gewechselt. 10 Minuten bis zum Strand. Nette Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe.
