Testimonials - Florianna's Villa

Jan - I would just like to let you know that we had a terrific holiday in Crete and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Florianna's Villa. The villa was excellent and exactly what we were looking for. Our two boys had a great time. Marie is a lovely lady, very kind and generous and we were treated to many gifts including her homemade wine and homegrown figs..lovely. Many thanks to you for the organisation and we look forward to booking with you again one day - August 2010.

Villa Florianna's has all you need for a great holiday. Just off the beaten track but close enough to bars and tavernas in Plaka. Almirida has good beaches and tavernas. Great 2 hour trip with George on the Crete Dream rib around the coast to the Octopus bar and back - snorkelling included. Fabulous holiday. Many thanks - June 2010.

We have both enjoyed an amazing stay. We had all the peace and tranquility we needed to escape hectic city lives. Although we're not ordinarily the type of folk to return to the same place, this has won us over and it's on the cards! Marie was a wonderful host and showered us with gifts - it's been a week of happiness. We'll be back - May 2010.

Thanks for a really lovely week. The villa was unbelievably good, well equipped and well maintained. Thank you Maria for the gifts and the gardens - May 2010.

We have enjoyed our stay - the villa is well appointed and we loved the view. Thankyou for the welcome pack. We hope to return - September 2009.

Excellent holiday. Comfortable villa with everything we needed. Gifts from Maria were a nice gesture and much appreciated. Lovely to have the beach within walking distance. Recommend two tavernas with excellent sea views in Almirida - Psaros and Erotokritos. Thanks for an excellent villa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back one day - July 2009.

One of the best villas we have stayed in.  Comfortable, clean and good facilities.  Amazing amount of gifts from Marie Thank you!  I can highly recommend her home made wine.  Weather was hot and sunny all week.  Good breakfast at En Plo in Almerida - checked tablecloth(blue) taverna not so good.  Pharmacies all shut on Monday (needed painkillers) had to drink more Raki instead.  Thanks for everything Marie and Crete Escapes - June 09

We had a lovely week relaxing and messing about by the pool.  Not much sightseeing but trips to the beaches and Chania,  Good meal at Gavalochori (10 minutes drive) Fantastic house with all necessities.  Thanks Marie for the presents.  The garden is wonderful - June 09.

What a lovely setting for a perfect week away. The house is well equipped. The view here and the pool are absolutely lovely. Particularly enjoyed the Brandy Alexandra's at the Bicorna Bar. The short walk to Almirida is wonderful and the tavernas are very good. We enjoyed the night sounds of Crete and will be back for more! Enjoyed Knossos which we recommend all visitors to see - May 2009.


Really enjoyed our first trip to Crete. The villa, pool, garden and view are fantastic. The quiet position and close proximity to Plaka and Almirida are ideal. Thank you Marie for the gifts of local produce. Hope to come back again soon – June 2008.
