Review by Ian:
What a fabulous villa to spend your holiday in. Private enough for those who want quietness,close enough to all amenities for those who seek the livelier side of Crete. The facilities could not be faulted with kitchen and living equipment everything you could ask for. The view is even more hypnotising than the gallery shows and the pool and garden area, well, what can I say that does it justice. There always seemed to be somebody around either cleaning the house or the pool ( I say that in a nice way) and Michel and his team were helpful and friendly from the point of booking throughout. It was all we could do to drag ourselves away and we can’t wait to return one day (hopefully sooner rather than later)”

Review by Anne – Mette:
Charming, private gem! We, a family of three, spent a fantastic week at the orange farm. The house had everything one could wish for including a very nice pool. The farm’s caretaker looked after us, and spoiled us with fresh vegetables from the farm. The location was perfect – away from all the tourists yet with shopping and restaurants only a ten minute drive away.

Review by Krishna:
Perfect summer holiday! We have just returned from a fantastic summer holiday at the Amari Villas. We rented Villa Idi as a stand alone villa for part of our stay and Villas Idi and Samitos together when we were joined by friends and their families during our stay. Amari village is located in a dramatic and beautiful landscape with amazing views from both villas. The setting is peaceful and allows for complete relaxation. Both villas are superbly equipped and have been designed and refurbished to an extremely high standard.
We have stayed in rented villas in Turkey, Spain, Italy and France over the past twenty years. What really sets Villa Amari apart is the brilliant information and advice from Manolis (who was very flexible with our varying group sizes and arrival times) and the housekeeper, Mrs.Rumy who lives in an apartment below Villa Idi. As well as looking after all our needs (advice on where to buy bread, vegetables etc.), she cooked us some fabulous meals and supplied very drinkable red and white wine as and when required. Thank you Manolis and Mrs.Rumy for making a fantastic stay even better – we will be back!

Fantastic villa! The villa and location were excellent. We were met with a warm welcome by Giannis on arrival with a well stocked fridge. The location of the villa was spectacular, situated as it is in an olive grove with panoramic views across mountains and sea. The outdoor space was wonderful and particularly enjoyed by our three children. I would have no hesitation in recommending this villa.
