Rooms with panoramic sea view are very good!
The rooms with panoramic sea view (big balcony) are the best choice when deciding to stay here. We upgraded our room to one of them and became very happy. The owner and hosts are very kind and will take care of you during your stay. Thanks for taking care of us!

Great View, accommodation and location
We stayed last year and rebooked including a superior room this time. The room was fantastic. Good facilities in the apartment (but no microwave). The views out to sea were amazing. Lovely balcony with lounger. Bathroom and shower 5*. We were at the end of the season but still lots to do in the area. Great beach restaurant with sunbeds and Wi-Fi just across the road (Ammos). Lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance. Lady that checked us in/out was very helpful

Couldn’t fault anything about our stay & highly recommend the rooms with the sea views - we stayed in a superior and a family room on our visit and they were wonderful. Stunning views, very clean and Despina so friendly & helpful. Literally stones throw to the beach too - didn’t want to leave! Thank you!

Perfect location amazing hospitality
We booked our stay at villa Sonia months in advance and right away sonia was so helpful with responding to all my questions about taxis and bus directions. We had also asked her to let us know if a sea view beacame available and she remembered months later and upgraded us. When we arrived we were very early and they let us store our bags in the jewelry store and everyone was so helpful. Our room was amazing and was a perfect location. Right on the beach but away enough from the super busy part of town that is very noisy but close enough that u can walk there is minutes. Despina was so helpful and wonderful. Can’t say enough good things about our stay!!!

Villa Sonia, amazing place!
We had a fabulous stay at Villa Sonia and can't wait to go back! From check in to check out the hospitality was great, Sonia and the Team are very welcome and excellent hosts. The apartment is very clean with excellent interior and a nice balcony overlooking the sea. The location is great within all you need just on the doorstep. To Sonia and the Team, see you all soon again! :-)

Sweet and cosy
The hotel is small and family owned, no front desk or 24 hour help. The room was very clean and cosy. Location is right off beach and Boardwalk. It's away from the very noisy part of town but still close to everything. It is not a 4 star but very clean, cosy, and accommodating. It is a boutique style hotel. The girl who works there was a big help and very accommodating. She provided us with beach towels and lended us a charger for the entire time. Parking is free off the street. We didn't have any issues during our stay and enjoyed our time in Crete.
