Reviews

"We loved our stay at Nature Heaven villa. The owner was very friendly and kind, leaving us a wonderful huge basket of fresh fruit and vegetables, his own produce olive oil which was delicious and some wine, what a great start to our stay! The villa was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable and the air con a bonus when it got a little too hot. The garden was stunning and peaceful with plenty of orange trees - which we were able to pick and juice - and the pool was lovely, all very clean and well kept."

"Beautiful house, super clean and well maintained. The garden is fabulous and the swimming pool was a must for those hot days in the summer. The house has everything that you need, we used the barbecue which was great. The communication was very easy with the host, and the owner, is excellent, attentive, really helpful and welcomed us quite late in the evening."

"This is the perfect place to come and relax! The garden is absolutely beautiful with a large pool and plenty of sun loungers. Oranges hang from the trees so you can make fresh juice daily and little swallows dive down into the pool at the end of each day, it’s an oasis! The house is cool, calm and clean with some beautiful details. We loved our stay!"

"What an amazing place! We had a very warm welcome at the beginning of our holiday with a beautiful basket of fruit amongst other things (being able to juice our own oranges every day was amazing). The villa is very clean and fully equipped for all your needs and the gardens are just beautiful, so peaceful and quiet, away from it all, just what you need on holiday."

"It would be easy to give a Villa in Greece a name like ‘Nature Heaven’ however this property genuinely deserves its title. The garden space especially is beautiful, aromatic, and peaceful."

Jonathan

"Thank you very much for the wonderful vacation in your great house. We spent a very nice time on the property both with the family and as a couple. The house is large and clean and there is everything you need. The garden is beautiful and also very large, so we found a lot of relaxation. The pool has an adult area and a baby area, we really liked that. There is also a swing, a slide, and balls - with which the children had a lot of fun. Every morning we picked fresh oranges from the trees for a delicious and healthy breakfast. Our hosts invited us to the early and organic olive harvest nearby - this also was a great experience for all of us. We highly recommend this property, thank you very much"

"We stayed five nights with our kids and really enjoyed it. The garden and pool area are lovely, and the villa was a perfect size for the 4 of us. It was great to be away from the tourist crowds and really allowed us to explore western Crete. The authentic Greek garden restaurant a short walk away is a must try! Thankyou for a great stay!"

We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad in deze prachtige villa op Kreta. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen voelden we ons meteen thuis. De villa ademt een authentieke sfeer, met een heerlijke tuin vol geurige sinaasappelbomen waar je elke dag van kunt plukken – een klein paradijsje! Het zwembad was heerlijk, leuk ook dat afgesloten gedeelte voor kleine kinderen. Alles wat je nodig hebt is in de villa aanwezig; het is echt met zorg en liefde ingericht. De locatie in een rustig, sfeervol dorp is perfect: een mooie uitvalsbasis om het eiland te verkennen, weg van de drukte maar toch alles binnen bereik. De eigenaar is ontzettend sympathiek en behulpzaam. Hij nam regelmatig contact met ons op om te checken of alles naar wens was en dacht op alle fronten met ons mee. Ook de restauranttips die we van hem kregen waren stuk voor stuk toppers – authentiek, smaakvol, plekken die we anders niet ontdekt zouden hebben. Een extra leuke verrassing waren de katten rondom het huis, die blij wa
