Testimonials - Florianna's Villa
We have had such a lovely holiday in Villa Florianna. The location is great - far enough away from hustle and bustle so it is quiet and peaceful but close enough to Plaka to walk there for dinner in the evening. The people have been incredibly friendly and helpful. We arrived late at night to find the fridge stocked with all that we needed. We made full use of the vegetable garden and we had lots of fun in the pool. All in all a wonderful relaxing trip - October 2011.
We had a lovely time at Florianna's Villa. The location was perfect for us & Plaka is a delight, especially Elpis taverna which we couldn't get enough of! Western Crete is beautiful for sure - we will pass on recommendations! - September 2011
We have had a wonderful stay in Crete. The villa is excellent and well placed for visiting all around the Chania region as well as the Rethymon area. We recommend Falassarna and Elafonissi for their beautiful beaches, Balos which is a marvel especially if you go by boat from Kissamos and stop off at Gramvoussa - August 2011.
We have had a lovely stay in Crete - our first visit to the island. We have managed to visit west as far as Falassarna and Kissamos and east to Georgioupolis. The beaches just outside GP are wonderful - flat and sandy for miles! We walked the Imbros gorge (easier than Samaria). Plaka is a good place to eat in the evening and a nice stroll back after a few beers. We enjoyed all the tavernas there. The villa and pool have been perfect - clean and well equipped - Thank you - July 2011.
This is our first visit to Crete and we enjoyed every minute of it, it is such a beautiful island and Plaka is wonderful, very peaceful and relaxing. The villa is outstanding; great location, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The pool is great and we used it every day. It looks very pretty when it's lit up at night. The books at the villa were really useful and the provisions on arrival were very welcome. We would also like to thank you for the gifts of homemade cake and Cretan produce. The village of Plaka is lovely with a good selection of tavernas in the square and a little supermarket for provisions - the man who owns it is very helpful!! Almyrida is lovely too with a bigger selection of tavernas, a great bakery and a lovely beach. We would love to visit again - June 2011.
We have had our 2nd wonderful holiday at Villa Florianna and our 3rd in Plaka. We have used the lovely pool every day and of course the beach at Almirida. It was lovely to see Fotini again at the taverna Harokoupos in Plaka, the food is lovely and very reasonably priced. Thank you for your very generous gifts of wine, fruit, olive oil and honey and thank you for such a lovely stay - June 2011.
Arrived in the dark - what a wonderful surprise in the morning!! We have had a wonderful, relaxing holiday in Villa Florianna. We particularly enjoyed the friendly Cretan people and the fabulous food - May 2011
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. The owner visited us, what a lovely lady, she brought us 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! It's been a week of happiness. We'll be back - May 2010.
