Hi Jan - just a line to say thank you for the very warm welcome that you gave us last week to Chania and Astra House. We had such a lovely break and we felt as if we'd been away for a month but only wish that we were still there! You are so lucky to have found such an idyllic spot especially with the delightful people, the rich culture and the beautiful setting. As you can imagine, I have already recommended you to some friends who would like what you have to offer - September 2010.

My family are all back safely in the UK. Thank you for making it a pleasant extra holiday rather than the Holiday travel misery all the TV stations were focussing on (volcanic ash sitaution) - April 2010.
Jan at Crete Escapes has been brilliant to deal with and will gladly try and help you find a suitable villa - April 2010.
Just a quick message on our return from Villa Kournedes - I wish to thank you for your help many months ago when we were choosing the villa as the information you provided at that time was "spot on" and everything was as we had wanted. We could not have chosen a better villa for our needs being remote yet within walking distance of tavernas with wonderful views and excellent patios and pool - September 2009.
Jan - I just want to say how very impressed I have been by you and Crete Escapes. Thank you for your service and care. We all thought Villa Avye in Exopoli was fantastic. So spacious, so well equipped, so tastefully furnished and with such a wonderful view, situation and pool. It got our holiday off to the very best of starts and only served to deepen our love of Crete. We would love to rent the villa again at some point in the future - thanks once again - August 2009.
Having just returned from a 2 week stay at Villa Allium, from 21st July to 4th August, with my daughter and family we would just like to thank you for your help in the arrangements, which went like clockwork. We had a fantastic time, and found the villa to be everything we could have wished for. - July/August 2009.
In October 2008, an independent travel writer stayed at Allium Villa whilst researching the area for a new book he was writing. This is what he said - "During my visit to western Crete I stayed at the Villa Allium arranged through Crete Escapes, an interesting company................ , all arrangements for my stay were immaculate and I was made very welcome by local reps Debbie and Martin". You can read more about his stay in Holiday Villas and Cottage magazine Issue No 2 (July 2009).
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you so much for helping us book what was an absolutely fabulous holiday at the Retreat Villa in Kokkino Chorio - July 2009.
My wife and I have just returned from a week's stay at Villa Tigga and we would like to say a huge thanks for organising this rental. We loved the villa, we loved its position and the peacefulness of its surroundings. We have previously rented villas in Bermuda and Switzerland and this one was up there with the best of them. Your directions to get from the airport to the villa were spot on and we only went astray once on the final right turn in the village when, I think, some of the signs have been replaced. The propery managers in Crete, Chris and Alan, were very helpful. If this villa is typical of your other villas then we would certainly take another holiday with you, either in September 2009 or June 2010 - June 2009.
Just a quick note to say a big thank you to both you and the owners of Villa Amaltheia for a fantastic 2 weeks holiday. The villa was a gem, car hire excellent and the weather was superb! We will certainly recommend you to any of our friends looking to go to Crete and we will hopefully use you again next time we go – September 2008.
Just a quick note to say thank you. Our villa, Three View in Tsivaras was absolutely wonderful, we all had a fantastic time. Crete and the area we stayed was just what we all needed to recharge our batteries, all directions given and car hire arranged ran smoothly. Marianne is great and all of her advice was gratefully received. Get out and about as there is lots to see and do, we will be back. I would not hesitate to recommend your company or the island of Crete to anybody. I hope we will be using your services again soon – August 2008.
Crete Escapes was an efficient and very helpful rental agency. Everything was as described and the support from the Cretan based property management company was first class. Their pool maintenance was excellent and we had a pool which was properly cleaned and chlorinated which is so important when it is in regular use – June 2008.
Well, what can we say! Villa Amaltheia was great! On arrival the welcome pack surpassed all our expectations… we have never been graced with such a stock of food and we have stayed in some similarly well equipped and stunning villas. We actually didn’t drink all the wine that was in the pack! The villa was spotless on arrival and it stayed that way – the cleaning and linen changes were always on time and done to perfection – all in all an excellent service. The villa was so good that we found it hard to go out but we did make the effort on maid service days. The villa is very well equipped with every item you could possibly need even down to 3 sets of towels, one for beach, one for pool and a separate set for the bath/shower rooms. The beaches were lovely and so were the local tavernas in Vamos. Fantastic villa, fantastic holiday and a big thank you to everybody involved in making our holiday so perfect. We will certainly be recommending your company to others – Villa Amaltheia - August 2007.
We would just like to say a big thank you for making our recent stay in Crete so enjoyable and hassle free. The villa we stayed at was fantastic, we could not fault it. The welcome pack was, delicious! The sunset views over Souda Bay were exquisite. The transfer from and to the airport was more than 1st class, it was the best ever. Will definitely recommend Crete Escapes to others Villa Tigga – May 07
Many thanks again, we have recommended your company to some of our friends. My brother and sister in law from Holland are also interested – Sept 06
A very big thank you for all your help in creating an idyllic honeymoon for us. Out of all our visits to the Greek Islands, this was far and above the most enjoyable of all. The location of Kokkino Chorio was absolutely stunning and an ideal base from which to explore western Crete. The Villa and floodlit pool were magnificent and we look forward to our next holiday with you. Please can you confirm availability of Sevi 2 for week commencing 26th June 2007? Flights for this date are available and reasonable. All being well, we will fit in another visit in Sept 07! – August 06.
Thanks so much for helping make the trip a success. We certainly will think of you when friends ask us for recommendations in the future! – May 06
Thank you for all your help, your service is very pro, we’ve rented houses all over Europe but your service is outstanding – Sept 05.
Just wanted to say thankyou for arranging the villa for us and the excellent directions that you sent on how to get there from the airport – July 05
A note to say how well organised the whole thing was from meet and greet to directions etc and also to applaud the way of life in this lovely village – May 04
