We're just back from an amazing week at Ikritis II villa. The villa itself is the best we've stayed in, very high-end and luxurious and a special place to stay. The pool area and outdoor space in particular was such a lovely place to be and relax.
The villa had everything we could possibly need and was spotlessly clean. Maria (from the family owning all three villas) met us on our arrival and was really welcoming, talking us through how everything worked and all the features. She was also contactable throughout and was very heplful. There was also an amazing selection of food and goodies left and prepared for us, including homemade pancakes, savoury pastries, biscuits and lemon liquor! Plus fruit and vegetables from the family farm and other fridge supplies. Really welcoming and a homely touch.
Location was peaceful with nice partial view of sea and mountains. Local small supermarket only 5 mins walk, two beaches less than 5 mins drive and Chania only 20 mins drive. You do need a car though.
The whole experience was fantastic and we would definitely return should we want to go back to this...

We stayed at Ikritis Villas for a few days with our close friends just before our wedding, and it honestly couldn’t have been better. The villa was beautiful—super clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were amazing and the whole vibe of the place just felt peaceful and private, which was exactly what we were after.
We spent most of our time hanging out by the pool, cooking together, and enjoying the space—it felt like a little escape before all the wedding chaos kicked in. The outdoor area was perfect for lazy mornings and wine-filled evenings, and every corner of the villa felt thoughtfully done.
The location was great too—quiet and tucked away, but still close enough to local spots if we wanted to grab food or explore. And the hosts were lovely—really kind, helpful, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time.
Such a special place and a perfect setting for that pre-wedding breather with our favourite people. We’d come back in...
Read moreWe rent the 3 Ikritis villas for 16 people for 5 days and we loved everything about our stay.
The villas are brand new and beside looking gorgeous, it is furnished to the highest standard - 5* hotel standard. The beds are super comfy, the villas are spacious and very well arranged so that it allows everyone to have their own space if they need.
The location of villas is good, close to Chania and even without car, the taxi ride from/to villa-Chania is affordable. Maria the owner arranged the bedding according to our needs, she greeted us at arrivals with homemade cakes and delicacy. She went over and beyond throughout our stay to accommodate our needs while being always smiling and helpful. I would, without a doubt, stay at Ikritis villa again in the future and I would recommend it to...
