Villa Andreas

We have just returned from our holiday at Villa Andreas and we had a fabulous holiday,if your expecting 5 star accommodation it’s probably not for you but the apartments are clean and comfortable.Our host’s Minas & Mania are most definitely worthy of 5 stars though as they are most welcoming you can see why people return year after year,everyone was so very friendly and I’m sure we will be visiting again.

OK - the title of the review may seem a bit odd but we were actually staying at another hotel but discovered the bar/restaurant on our way from the beach, which is almost just next door. We got into the habit of stopping in here because the drinks and food were lovely. We quickly became regulars and the staff were wonderful - treating us like guests in the hotel.

Lovely little hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was cleaned most days and was perfect for what I wanted. The pool was lovely and cool. There is some parking outside and it's just a stone's throw from the beach. Close to other amenities like restaurants and some shops.

This is a small family run complex of perfectly located apartments. Convenient for the beach and restaurants. The owners Minas and Mania clearly take pride in their business and are very friendly, welcoming and obliging. The apartments are not luxurious but by our experiences of Greek accommodation, are perfectly serviceable and have decent showers, a fridge, a microwave, toaster and kettle. Although not expected to do any cooking, a two ring stovetop and two saucepans are provided. The cleaning staff arrive daily and maintain good standards in public areas. Towels and linen were changed every few days. The bar is well stocked, cocktails are brilliant and there’s plenty of snacks for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nice pool area and garden with plenty of relaxing seating inside and outside. Quirky antiques scattered around too!

We stayed at ourania apartments but went every night for a drink and Minas was a great host,we are thinking of coming back to crete in July and I would definitely stay here if I do. Nice area,great tavernas and restaurants.

I stayed here for a week as a solo traveler and enjoyed a wonderful relaxing week. I was a bit unsure traveling on my own for the first time, conscious of being around couples and family’s so wasn’t really myself which I’m sure it showed. Even though the wonderful family that run the complex made me feel very welcome, you couldn’t wish for a more friendly hosts thank you Minas and Mania. I am already looking to visit again with my children it is the perfect place for anybody young or old and 2 min from the beach.
