Valentina Apartments

Didn’t stay at valentines, but stayed next door. Thank goodness Valentines was there . As our hotel was not the best. The pool is spotless as well as the bar and loos. The food was excellent and great value. Valentina and her husband Manos were great hosts and very friendly. We are looking forward to booking there apartments next year.

This place is amazing a little oasis of peace and tranquility. The food is freshly cooked to order . The food was so tasty and plenty of it . The bar and pool area is so well layed out and the decor is great it has a fantastic laid back feel to it . The young lady behind the bar is very friendly she made us feel like family and she makes the strongest pinacolada ever . All in all I would thoroughly recommend this place .

I stayed here from 29th August to 9th September and what a fabulous place to stay. I came out on my own for the first time with friends joining me for a week in the middle. Was a little nervous about being on my own but no need as Valentina, Alex and Maria all so friendly. I was in room 2 on the ground floor overlooking the olive Grove. Had a living/kitchen area, bedroom and shower room. Loads of room and storage . Towels changed regularly and beds once a week. Room cleaned daily. Food at Valentinas was lovely- beware the pizzas are massive!! The pool was a lovely chilled area, very quiet I was the only one there some days. Its about 15 minute walk to the village, 20 minutes to the beach. The barbecue night was great fun and the food delicious. For the price it was an absolute bargain and I'm really looking forward to visiting again. You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. Thank you to all of you for making me so welcome. See you again soon I hope.

Valentina and her husband were very kind to us, nothing was too much to do. They bring breakfast and lunch around the pool or in your appartment. It was very clean, we got 3 times clean towels and the trash was cleaned every day. The food was very good and tastefull. The location is also very good as you can walk in 5 minutes to the busstation, which brings you to the airport, heraklion or to chersonissos on the other side. Other restaurants are also just a walk of 15 minutes away. It was a very good holiday and we will definitely come again!

We stayed in the same apartment as last October .... so overlooking olive groves and distant mountains from the balcony. From there you can observe buzzards and falcons by day and bats by night. Being in a quiet and relaxing place means you can also hear birdsong all day long. Various bars, tavernas and shops are a short walk away as are bus stops boasting a really good regular timetable for journeys all over the island at exceptionally good prices. However, it is also possible to stay at the apartments for the duration of the stay as everything needed is on site: the supermarket downstairs for fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, cheese, yogurt, 'village' bread, beers and wines, and local thyme and pine-infused honey produced by Valentina's brother-in-law. There is a good range of breakfasts including the wonderful Cretan breakfast served up by Maria. And that goes without mentioning the superb home cooking served up by Valentina herself and Alexandra based on their own Cretan recipes. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating and they like nothing more than to share stories and laughter in a mixture of English and Greek. Oh, and I almost forget to mention the swimming pool for regular dips and relaxation in the pool garden with its own snack bar. It's always difficult to leave at the end of the stay ... but great to look forward to going back.

We stayed here for a week with our two small children and had an amazing time. Such a peaceful and beautiful piece of paradise less than 10 mins to the beach which was so perfect because it’s quiet and not overly touristy, it really felt like we were welcomed and made feel so at home. The staff go above and beyond the customer service was superb. The food, wine and coffee was next level absolutely delicious and so fresh. Perfect for a family trip or just for a little romantic get away. If you are in this area it’s an absolute must visit! I read previous reviews that WiFi wasn’t great but actually the WiFi was great and we just couldn’t believe how cheap it was considering it was so lovely and the pool area was just the icing on the cake! We will definitely come back when we return to Greece!! This place is an absolute Piece of paradise! Thank you again for the hospitality and warm welcome! Already looking forward to getting back here sometime in the future! - showers are amazing -beds super comfy -staff go above and beyond -food absolutely delicious -super clean - amazing location -perfect for a relaxing getaway -just the perfect place!
