“Die Unterkunft bei Emilia ist wirklich atemberaubend und versetzt einen
direkt in das kretische Leben.
Schön authentisch und besitzt alles, was man braucht. Die Lage ist super mit wunderschönen Aussichten und der geteilte Innenhof lädt zum entspannen ein.”
Emilia ist eine tolle Gastgeberin die sich mit Interesse für die Gäste einsetzt und sich mit der Gegend und der Kultur auskennt. Man kann sich mit ihr super unterhalten und einige tolle Tipps einholen oder sich einfach nur über alles mögliche Austauschen.

“Emilia was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and welcoming. She was remarkably attentive, ensuring ! had all the essentials for a pleasant stay. Although it might not always be possible, she kindly greeted me outside upon my arrival, adding a personal touch that was much appreciated.
Her accommodation is nestled within meticulously restored traditional stone houses, located in a quaint village perched above Almyrida. This small town offers a safe, sandy beach and an array of seaside restaurants that provide stunning views of the Mediterranean while you eat...
The location is ideal for those looking to explore more than just the coast. A
30-minute drive takes you through the local villages and into breathtaking mountain landscapes, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure.
Emilia's place is not just a stay but an invitation to experience the genuine beauty of the area.
I shall be returning! Thank you Emilia.”

“ Emilia is an amazing host and her villa is very special. Expertly crafted and designed by Emilia herself, the space combines old world charm with modern amenities. To anyone looking for a quiet, dreamy getaway surrounded by beautiful Cretan scenery, look no further!”
Lina, Berlin, Deutschland
“Emilia's place is a true gem tucked away in a small village just by Almyrida. It's perfectly located just in between the beach and the amazing Cretan mountains. What I loved the most was the soul and character of villa Emilia.
The love, care and eye for detail that went into restoring the old village house is visible in every little corner. After just a few hours I felt right at home. Not just because of the beauty of the place, but also Emilia's wonderful hospitality. Her kindness and care are what make the place truly special. She also has an incredible wisdom to share about the magic and healing capacities of the Cretan fauna. If you're looking to immerse myself into the wonderful magic and culture of Crete, Emilia's home is the perfect spot.”

“Emilia est une hôte remarquable, elle a été disponible pour nous, nous a conseillé et nous a même prêté des serviettes de plage pour le séjour.
L'appartement est tout équipé, perché en haut d'un petit village très agréable à 30 min de Chania ! Allez-y les yeux fermés”
Michelina
“Eine schöne kleine Wohnung, minimalistisch, sauber und modern. Das ruhige Dorf, sowie die etwas abgelegene Lage hat uns super gut gefallen. Man fährt ungefähr 30 Minuten mit dem Auto nach Chania und auf dem Weg dorthin findet man sehr schöne ruhige Badebuchten. Wir haben es sehr genossen.
Vielen Dank liebe Emilia, wir kommen gerne wieder.
Tim, Deutschland
“Emilias Appartement durften wir für unsere Flitterwochen nutzen und es war großartig!
Die Lage war perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen in den Westen der Insel. Zu Fuß dauert es ca. 20 min in das nächste Strandstädtchen Almyrida.
Das Appartement ist super liebevoll und stilvoll eingerichtet, Emilia ist die beste Gastgeberin!
Bei jeder Frage oder jedem Bedürfnis war sie zur Stelle.
Die Ausstattung war auch allumfassend.
Es gibt eine Lobby und einen Hinterhof mit Dachterasse, welche für alle 3 Appartements von Emilia nutzbar sind. Das Frühstücken und Sterneschauen war besonders romantisch!
Bei einem erneuten Kreta-Urlaub würden wir sie gerne wieder besuchen!
Sehr empfehlenswert, denn die beste Airbnb Unterkunft in der wir bisher waren.”
