Luxury and tranquility at Villa Ikones Kritis Paradosiako, an exclusive retreat in Crete

We had a lovely stay at the villa—check-in was easy and they were super flexible on our check-in time. Everything about the house was explained to us in detail, so we had no trouble with heating or appliances. The view is unbeatable—Plakias, the bay, the beaches, and Plakias tunnel all lie before you. The house itself is modern, comfortable, and quiet, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everyt... more

I highly recommend this house. The staff is extremely friendly and takes great care of the holiday home and the guests. The house has two fantastic terraces with a view.

An exceptional stay thanks to the breathtaking view of the bay. We loved the house's location, which offers such a stunning view. Special mention goes to the kindness and helpfulness of the hosts, who welcomed us warmly and provided excellent advice throughout our stay. The house had everything we needed. The gas barbecue was a real bonus. From the house, it's even possible to walk to Plakias in a... more

Very beautiful villa. Everything new and functional. Great view. Helpful host.

Very beautiful place , with an amazing view, very peaceful. Plakias is a very nice place, with beautiful beaches and good restaurants. The house is quite well equiped, with a lot of amenities, the beds are very comfortable, but the house is a smaller than it looks on the pictures. The place to park the car at the house is only for small ones, it is better to leave the car on the top on the path. W... more

The villa offers spectacular views across Plakias bay. It is thoughtfully laid out with everything we wanted. We especially enjoyed the pool and hammock, private rooftop sunbathing, and eating on the terrace taking in the views. Plakias is a lovely seaside town with lots of interesting shops, restaurants and bars. We hiked the hill at the far end of the bay and enjoyed visiting beaches along the c... more

The magnificent view, the tranquility, the privacy, the bedding, the amenities, the large terrace

Amazing house, great view of surrounding mountains and sea

Stunning views and very peaceful. To get the view does mean you can’t easily walk anywhere but restaurants in Sellia are short ride up hill. Well equipped villa. Access road and parking is tight but that is typical for island. Hosts always on hand to assist. Great swimming in Plakias which is a nice seaside town. Sun from early morning to evening (on upper deck) Pool is on backside of villa we sta... more

We had a wonderful time at Ikones Kritis Villas. The view over the olive trees to the bay of Plakias was magnificent. Very large terrace, modern facilities, quiet location. We would like to come back again!

Wir waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Was uns verwirrt hat, war, dass wir dachten, die Unterkunft sei in Rethymno. Der Flughafen (Heraklion) ist etwa zwei Stunden mit dem Auto entfernt, aber die Strecke und die Landschaft dorthin waren wunderschön. Das Wetter war ziemlich windig, doch wir konnten trotzdem immer auf der Terrasse sitzen. Wunderschöne Aussicht, bequeme Betten, gut ausgestattete Küche. ... more

Vi hade en mycket fin vecka i ett mycket trevligt hus med en fantastisk utsikt. Trevligt med den mindre byn Sellia ovanför huset och den större Plakias nedanför. Bra restauranter i båda byarna. Fina vandringsleder, klippor för klättring och många härliga stränder för bad inom 20 minuter med bil. Rekommenderar boendet och omgivningarna starkt.

We loved our 10 day holiday in Ikones Kritis Villa. Everything was as described in the listing and all photos matched the actual villa and the spectacular views. Manos and his team are very professional and great hosts. Everything went as expected from the minute we booked and until check out. Cretevillas4u deliveres very high customer service and I can highly recommend this host!
