Absolutely incredible!

Property was just as described but even better. Recently refreshed and updated and just gorgeous. Phenomenal outdoor spaces for fun. Every amenity you could ask for. Owner was hugely helpful and responsive and went out of his way to ensure we had the best trip. We won’t stay anywhere else if we can get back to Crete. The Villa is perfect for large groups and family. Stay here - you won’t regret it

Entspannter Urlaub

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in der Villa. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Der Einsatz des Vermieters -sei es durch Tipps für die Freizeitgestaltung, schnelle Reaktion bei Kleinigkeiten oder der Versorgung mit frischem Obst - war grandios!

Chilled, beautiful stay at Golden Hill

I stayed with a group of friends for my 30th birthday and we all had an absolute fantastic time both at the villa and in Chania. The property and view is indescribable and at a very affordable price. The location was also excellent, with it only being a c. 25 minute drive into Chania old town (taxis very easy to book). The owner and holiday agents were also very attentive and helped us with anything we needed with a good list of recommendations during our stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend.

Voll und ganz zufrieden

Sehr empfehlenswert für Erholung aber auch um etwas lauter zu sein, da die Villa nicht unmittelbar von Nachbarn umgeben ist. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Villa ist ein Traum und genau so toll wie sie beschrieben wurde. Geputzt wurde alle 3 Tage und dies sehr sehr genau und gut. In 15 Minuten mit dem Auto kann eingekauft werden und in 25 Minuten erreicht man das Meer. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön von der Villa aus, Sonnenaufgang sowie Sonnenuntergänge sind auf dem Hügel schön zu sehen. Die Agentur war bei Problemen rund um die Uhr für uns da. Danke für alles, wir haben es sehr genossen und würden die Villa immer wieder buchen.

Ein goldener Traum

Wir haben 3 Wochen in der Villa verbracht. Es war alles perfekt! Mehr geht eigentlich nicht. Die Jahre davor in verschiedenen Villen fehlte immer irgendwas. Sei in der Küche, sei es an Gartenmöbeln, sei es an Sauberkeit und an der Verfügbarkeit der Ansprechpartner. In Golden Hill war alles perfekt. Die Lage ist einmalig. Mann hat einen schönen Überblick über Chania und einen fantastischen Sonnenuntergang. Die Fahrt nach Chania selbst dauert auch nur 20 min. Die Betreuung durch Kostas war super und seine nette MAMA hat uns regelmäßig mit frischen Obst versorgt: Lieben Dank! Wir können diese Top Villa nur weiter empfehlen und natürlich Kreta als top Reiseziel auch.

Beautiful luxury villa with breath-taking views!!

We were a part of 5 adults, 3 children and 1 infant and stayed at Villa Golden Hill during the last two weeks of August 2017. On arrival, we were met by the owner's son, Kostantinos, who was an absolute gentleman and the perfect host during our stay, providing a full tour of the villa facilities and was in regular contact to answer any questions and make helpful suggestions about places to visit and dining options. We booked through etouri, the villa property management company and I can't thank Kostas and Sophia enough for the highly professional service they provided before and after we booked and also whilst we were there. The villa is in a secluded location in the hills above Souda Bay with simply fantastic views across the city of Chania and the akrotiri peninsula beyond and is perfectly positioned to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. The property is luxurious throughout with one living area on the ground floor with outside terrace overlooking the pool and another downstairs at basement level which also has a pool table and separate outside dining area with even its own outdoor traditional pizza oven. The villa is in a very secluded location, reached by winding but well-maintained mountain roads. The nearest village (Malaxa) does not have any facilities for tourists which means a car is essential (the drive up to the villa from the road is quite steep so would recommend one with a bit of power!!). However, the nearest large supermarkets are only 15-20 minutes drive and are very well stocked. There is a local taverna which is a few minutes drive up the road from the villa which also does take-away. The are beautiful sandy beaches which can be reached in around 25-30 minutes. We would recommend Kalyves if travelling with children as it has great sand (perfect for building castles or more ambitious projects!) and shallow, crystal-clear water - sunbeds etc. are provided by the beach bars and normally free if buying drinks/food during the day. We also enjoyed the beaches at Stavros and Marathi. We also visited Falasarna beach which is about an hour drive but worth it as is a beautiful, long and wide sandy beach - though can get windy. Chania city is around 25 mins drive and we had no trouble finding somewhere to park. The old town behind the venetian harbour is lovely to wander round with some nice restaurants. I would not hesitate to recommend Villa Golden Hill to anyone looking for a luxurious experience in a beautiful, peaceful and secluded location.

Der Blick ist unbezahlbar!

Ein wirklich erhabenes Gefühl erfasst einen, wenn man auf der Terrasse steht und den Blick über die Stadt und das Meer schweifen lässt! Das ist unbeschreiblich! Auch die Kinder waren fasziniert! Das Haus und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt und man merkt, dass überall viel Herz drin steckt. Alles ist durchdacht und einfach perfekt! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und alle Erwartungen wurden übertroffen! Theoretisch bräuchte man das Anwesen nicht verlassen, da es so viele Möglichkeiten bietet. Auch die persönliche Betreuung vor Ort ist vorbildlich. Wir machen seit vielen Jahren Urlaub in Ferienvillen und legen sehr viel Wert auf Sauberkeit, Privatsphäre und Ausstattung, dieses Jahr hatten wir besonders viel Glück bei unserer Auswahl! Vielen Dank dafür! Wir kommen gerne wieder! Absolut empfehlenswert!!!

Beautiful villa and great service

Lovely owners who met us at the villa on arrival to give us a tour and were easily contactable if we had any problems. Kostas, the villa manager, was also on hand if we needed anything and provided directions and information before our holiday. The villa itself was amazing, was equipped with everything we wanted and located in a lovely spot with beautiful views over Chania and the bay. Our three children were kept well entertained with the swimming pool, pool table, table tennis and games room which meant we had the chance to relax ourselves and enjoy the views from the hot tub! The outdoor cooking areas were great and we especially enjoyed making home made pizza in the wood oven. If you're cooking at the villa, as we often did, it's worth venturing the extra couple of miles to the AB supermarket on the outskirts of Chania as we found it to be much better stocked than some of the larger supermarkets closer to the villa. If we return to Crete, we will definitely return to Villa Golden Hill :)

Fantastic stay

We had a fantastic stay at The Golden Hill. The villa is designed and built with attention and care. Really a high quality villa, both inside and in the many outside areas. It is very well equipped, spotless clean, and beautifully designed. A truly great please to unwind and relax. Located in the hills behind Chania, it provides a fantastic view over the city, island and ocean. The owners and managers are truly professional, with every effort to ensure a quality experience for guests of the house. Highly recommended.

Amazing villa - stunning views!

We have just returned from our wonderful stay at Golden Hills. The villa is beautiful and the views are stunning. We were a family of 8 adults spanning 3 generations and the villa suited us perfectly. We were met when we arrived by Anastasia and her son Konstadinos they took time to show us around the villa and explain everything. The villa was extremely well equipped – we have stayed at many villas over Europe and this was one of the best we have stayed in. Anastasia had cooked us a delicious traditional Greek meal for our arrival and the shopping we had asked for was provided – and lots more as well! There was so much beautiful fruit that we were spoilt for choice. The bedrooms are lovely with lots of storage space, the towels and sheets were changed after 3 days and the villa cleaned as well. The beds are very comfortable. We had 4 of the rooms made up as doubles which suited us perfectly though they can be arranged as twins if you require. The fifth bedroom has bunk beds. Konstadinos kept in touch with us during our stay to ensure that everything was satisfactory and to make sure that we had everything that we needed – they made us feel so welcome. The villa is as it states isolated and so you will need a car however this suited us perfectly and the views from this location as it shows in the pictures are simply stunning. There is a lot of local birdlife and wildlife to enjoy in the area. We passed mountain sheep and goats every day on the roadside and the birds can be viewed just from sitting by the pool. There is a local taverna a few hundred metres from the villa which we ate at on one evening. We were made very welcome and enjoyed a local Cretan meal. The drive to the waterfront in the old town in Chania takes about 20 minutes where you can enjoy the hustle and bustle in the evening and then return to the peace and tranquillity of Golden Hills! We wanted to get away from it all and have a relaxing and chilled out break in Crete and Golden Hills provided that perfectly for us – thank you Anastasia and family for making our holiday so wonderful. When we booked Kostas from Etouri was extremely efficient ensuring that all of my questions were answered and providing us with detailed directions to the villa and local amenities and beaches. He also put us in touch with Best Cars who provided us with a very reliable car with a quick and easy airport pick up at a good price.
