Lovely clean and suprisingly spacious house with a really refreshing pool. Owned by the same man who owns the taverna which is two minutes away from your villa, next to the beach - great food, supportive staff. Lots of beautiful beaches nearby and this part of Crete is very rural and quiet.
overall, we were happy with this place. the taverna at the end of the drive (also owns the villas) was really great, and we went there most nights. very good food, friendly staff. the local area was very nice, with great coffee shops and very friendly, helpful people. The villa itself is a little tired, with the downstairs shower super difficult to use because the fixture couldn't hold the shower head in place, and a broken toilet seat upstairs (which was immediately fixed). But the A/C worked and the beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed it. you definitely need a car for this location, if that was something you were considering.
Villa Spiros is one of three lovely villas around a 5 minute drive to Frangokastelo. The local beach is a beautiful, natural one with knarled trees under which you can shade from the sun. Itâs a 5 minute stroll from the villa and a wonderful place to see the sunset.
The swimming pool was clean and a perfect cooling off temperature.
The villa is the closest to the mountains of the three and views of the mountains are fabulous. Sea views are also beautiful.
The village of Frango Kastelo is spread out over a mile or so but well served with 3 supermarkets, bakeries, tavernas and beaches.
The house was beautifully clean and we were left some wine and local treats. The air conditioning works well and we were kept cool at night which was lovely.
We were 5 - so used the sofa bed in the lounge which is a wide single size sofa bed.
Our stay was wonderful, and we would definitely recommend Spiros Villa, but there are a couple of things that would improve this lovely house -
Unfortunately, the mattresses are a little dated now and sadly not the most comfortable. Perhaps some good mattress toppers would be enough to alleviate the problem for the time being?
The only table outside is a small coffee table. The patio and garden is quite large and thereâs plenty of space to eat outside so itâs a shame there isnât a take and chairs to use outside for eating.
It would be great if local agents could pass these comments on to the owners for the benefit of other visitors. đ Thank you
Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Das Haus ist zweckmĂ€Ăig eingerichtet, sauber und liegt sehr ruhig. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt. Am Strand ist sauber, ruhig, hauptsĂ€chlich Sand. Von dort aus kann man einige Schluchten auf kurzen Wegen gut erreichen. Man ist abgeschieden und dank der Taverne und des fuĂlĂ€ufigen Supermarktes, "angenehme Preise", zur Versorgung nicht aufs Auto angewiesen.
We stayed at Spiro's for a week. It was lovely. I give 5 stars. A few more pantry staples would be nice and longer shower curtains, but that is nothing that deters from the seclusion and beauty of the property. Note that there are high winds in August and don't try to take floats to the beach! We witnessed many fly away to Africađ€Ł.
Die Lage ist top, zwischen Bergen und Meer, kaum Tourismus. Das Haus war sehr sauber. Wie auch schon der Vormieter beschrieben hat, gibt es einige Dinge, die man verbessern kann, was aber scheinbar nicht passiert: Kaffeemaschine geht kaum (wahrscheinlich nie entkalkt), zum Teil sehr wenig Geschirr in der KĂŒche (keine Schalen etc), Sofa ist durch, kein Papier, Stift, Kerze, Feuerzeug (hatten 3 stunden Stromausfall). Sachen im Notfallkoffer sind seit 6 Jahren abgelaufen. Uns hat es aber gut gefallen.
Zur Info: Objekt wurde bereits das zweite mal gebucht!
Stiegenaufgang knarrte und Àchzte wie letztes mal.
Neu: Kaffeemaschine defekt und es fehlten mehrere KĂŒchenutensilien. Die Klimaanlage im Schlafzimmer oben links gehört unbedingt gewartet, lĂ€uft unregelmĂ€Ăig und Ă€uĂerst laut!
AuĂenanlage: 50% der RasenflĂ€che komplett sonnenverbrannt, trotz Beregnungsanlage. Wahrscheinlich in diesen Bereich defekt! Kopf der Pooldusche total verrostet und beschĂ€digt.
Positives: Der Pool selber ist fĂŒr sfakiotische VerhĂ€ltnisse sehr gut, ebenso die Lage der Villen fĂŒr Mietwagen.
Allgemein: Eine Asphaltierung der ZufahrtsstraĂe wĂ€re sicher kein Luxus - Zufahrt zu insgesamt drei vermieteten Villen.
sehr schöne Villa, toller Pool (1,70m tief), ruhig gelegen zwischen Berge und Meer.
Zum Strand und zu einer Taverne 3 min fuĂlĂ€ufig entfernt, Supermarkt (10min zu FuĂ), Imbrosschlucht (15min mit Auto), Plakias (1h mit dem Auto).
Besitzer sehr freundlich
