A Real Paradise in a wonderful vicinity. Breakfast, Food excellent! Five Stars. Feeling like home. Kindly and helpful Service and Staff. Five Stars for this location and Personal is not enough. Many thanks to Eleni and Pol!! PS: Please keep the secret of Carkey. 🙈🤣

From the moment we arrived late at night, we were welcomed so warmly with drinks, hot towels and big hugs and were made to feel like old friends. We were upgraded to a larger villa which was a lovely surprise and we were really impressed with the villa, the private pool, and the whole layout of the complex with its winding paths and bougainvillea. The pool can be heated as it is quite cool however it was just right for a dip on hot days. The beach is a 15 minute walk away but there is a shuttle bus if you want to use that. From advice about places to go, organising taxis or even finding a florist and singing happy birthday to me in Greek (complete with cake) nothing was too much trouble for Eleni and Pol. Mike looked after us at breakfast every day where there was a great selection on offer. We ate in the restaurant every night. Prices are similar to those in the nearest town but the service and quality of food is second to none here. The food is superb - fresh and tasty and the lobster special and barbecue night were highlights. Babis was always on hand to welcome us and he takes an obvious pride in making sure guests are enjoying the local food and wine. Like the villas there are cocktails named after the Greek gods. The cleaning staff were excellent and everyone was friendly but discrete. We had emailed with some queries before we arrived and got very prompt and helpful replies. They also organised our taxi pick up from the airport for us. The whole place is an oasis of peace and calm and it really is a paradise. We had a truly wonderful time and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The people are what makes it so special.

From being treated like long lost friends on arrival till our departure the service at paradise villas is second to none! The villas all named after Greek gods is a lovely touch being spacious with full amenities. All villas come with their own pool and sun beds so you never really need to venture out to the other two larger pools on site so you can be as private as you want. We had breakfast included which was served till 11am. Normally we always miss breakfast because of the timings and food being so similar . However I think we all managed the majority of breakfast sittings as it was so good especially with Mike the waiter always being so helpful. We had lunch and evening meals at the complex on numerous occasions along with attending there special Greek barbecue event. This was great with loads of food being brought straight to your table by the ever present babis, who was absolutely amazing throughout. I can’t remember ever being made to feel so welcome by a waiter before. He really did make this holiday so special. As I’ve already mentioned there were other staff members too from the cleaning ladies to the bar staff always making you feel welcome. Paul and Eleni were always there to greet you every morning and helped us hire a boat plus numerous other excursions. Overall this is a fantastic secluded very private place and worth every penny!!! Big mention to their speciality food dish lobster linguine which was beautiful and a must try. If you want to not be so private heronissos is only a 5 min taxi ride away which is between €10 to €15 each way. This has loads of bars, cafes and sea view Resturant’s. Hopefully we will return in the future this was a magical find in Crete. Well done to all!

Amazing stay from the moment of reservation. Both Pol and Eleni are already welcoming you in their communication for the best room options and their help in getting to their accommodation. When the gate opens, the team is welcoming you in front of the reception with refreshing towels and a cocktail. If you wish to stay in your own private villa, fully equipped with everything you could wish for, but also enjoy a 5* boutique service, don’t search any further. Location we found very central, and with the great travel tips from Eleni, you can explore Crete very easily. The à la carte restaurant, with their heart warming personnel, serves the best local food the entire day. Highly recommend, the place, the quality and especially the always perfect service.

This was our second visit to PIV and we had a wonderful time. The villas are spotless and the private gardens are lovely however it is Eleni, Pol and the staff who make this place. Without exception they are all absolutely first rate - they couldn’t have done more. Thank you all so much.

We had a really pleasant stay. The family is so welcoming, hospitable and they are thinking along with you as guest. They make you feel at home in "your Greece home". The villas are nice, have good space and all the amenities you need. Everyday cleaning and proper staff. The surroundings are beautifull, breakfast and diner are also fresh, really good and Greek portions so you aren't hungry. Also they offer a lot of extra`s such as Yoga lessons, massages and will help you with nice day trips like a sailing trip to Dia. If you are looking for a relaxed vacation and if you want to be relieved; go to Paradise Villas.
