Great Villa and Location
Our second stay here and it was just as good as the first time. Spacious and well equipped. Air conditioning kept it comfortable at night. Brilliant pool just a few metres away and with the beach and village just a few minutes walk everything you need is within easy access. We had a small water leak in the bathroom but 30 minutes after reporting it a member of staff arrived and it was quickly fixed. We were expecting a clean at the end of the first week. It wasn’t a big deal and we could have chased it up.

Great Location Grear Pool Great Accomodation
We stayed in Gapevines over the summer and our stay was great and everyone enjoyed the accomdation. On the ground floor there are 2 bedrooms, as a result the bedrroms are cooler, so great for sleeping. The main bedroom has a terrace, patio doors and ensuite with shower. The first floor has the sitting area, dinning area, and kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and has a full size oven, hob and microwave. The 1st full has a small terece over looking the pool and larger terrace which you can eat out on it has 6 seat table to and chairs. On the top level is a large sun terrace. Nearby there are 2 beaches within walking distance and numerous restuarants which serve a wide variety of food I would recommned this property and would definately stay here again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grapevines, the villa, location and weather were all perfect. The villa and pool were well maintained with plenty of advice and support from the owner and management. The location is lovely on the outer edge of the town but still with shops and great restaurants all within easy walking distance.

Great location, quite spacious and well equipped. Air con was essential in August. Very convenient for local beaches, shops, cafes, and restaurants. The pool is splendid. The only downside was that in common with other holiday rentals the kitchen knives are blunt and the beds are really hard.

Superb picturesque quiet Crete
Lovely relaxing location, with easy access to delightful quiet and sandy beaches. Excellent set of local tavernas providing great food at sensible prices. Seems unspoilt by the Travel industry and an area that still is able to give an authentic Greek experience. Villa provides all you could want with good accommodation, facilities and a lovely pool area

Amazing stay
The property was lovely and clean, however, not ideal for those who have mobility issues as the stairs to the kitchen and living room was quite tight. Owner of the property was very responsive and recommended great places to eat and the beaches were lovely. If you are looking for a relaxing break, this place is definitely the place to visit.

Booking this Villa was very straight forward with excellent communication from our host and then from Grapevines managenent. We were met on arrival and were made very welcome and given the information we needed to enjoy our stay. It was a joy to stay around the Villa or to take a short walk to lovely beaches. Thank you.

Crete without the crowds
Perfect third visit to Grapevines. Different villa each time, but the consistency of property quality matched with a sparklingly clean pool remains the same. Beds are comfy. Excellent showers with enough hot water for me and my two post teen daughters, which means enough for anyone. Aircon so efficient that it's not needed for long, kitchen equipped with everything you could need, including a dishwasher. Washing machine and a sunny roof terrace that could dry the wettest washing in an afternoon (along with front and rear balconies, one of which always has some shade). Beach towels, clothes pegs, dishwasher tablets and a decent range of books are the kind of touches that make these villas special. It's the best part of two hours from the airport, but it's an easy drive, especially when you know that at the other end you'll find a really nice holiday home at the top of an easy walking hill packed with good value tavernas and mini markets. There might be some other English voices around, and everyone speaks the language in the restaurants and bars, but this is also an area that the Greeks come to holiday, which contributes to the "undiscovered" vibe. You won't find an all you can eat buffet, but you may have to choose your favourite ice cream shop. And that might be the most difficult decision of your trip. Don't miss Diaskari (Green Beach), which although within walking distance is worth taking the car to. Giorgios doesn't own the taverna any more, but is still there to rent you a $10 'kiosk' with a hammock and a couple of sunbeds, just inches away from the clearest and most snorkel-friendly beach on the island. The taverna there remains my favourite too. Fabulous food (the fried zucchini are a must), fresh juice, cold beer, great vista. Makrigialos is lovely. Grapevines couldn't be a nicer, calmer place. Ian is a perfect host. Book with confidence..

Not able to stay but excellent to deal with
Unfortunately we were unable to take our holiday as my wife caught Covid just before we were due to go. Ian was very flexible and accomodating when we were trying to sort out rearranged dates, including inconvenient arrival times - which we were also unable to take in the end as my wife didn't recover in time. So a five star rating on the basis of Ian's communications and flexibity when we needed it.

Fantastic!
A beautiful town house in a stunning development on the edge of the village of Makrygialos. The 20m pool and gardens were amazing but it was only a10 mins walk to the waterfront where there were numerous tavernas which served great food at very reasonable prices. There were lots of lovely quiet beaches nearby. We also walked the Pefki gorge and Butterfly gorge which were close by. We loved our holiday and I'm sure we'll be going back very soon. The owner was very helpful and communication was great.

Overall a lovely holiday the villa had a small amount of damage which was rectified in hours, brilliant pool but the only downside would be the upside down living which is Cretan style the spiral stairs were a bit steep so anyone with mobility problems run the risk. Apart from that a really nice relaxing hol.

Just Perfect!
This villa was just perfect for us. Set, with others, around a lovely pool it is hard to find fault with either the design, the location or the facilities. The villa itself is in a row of 5 but it feels secluded. It is a great design on three floors built around a sturdy spiral staircase. There are patios or balconies on every floor. It is light and spacious with a double and twin bedroom and two bathrooms - one shower and one bath. The bedrooms are adequate in size with plenty of cupboard space and we found the beds to be really comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything from a coffee machine to a smoothie maker! The sitting area is very comfortable with a lovely big corner sofa and a large TV. Plenty of books on the shelf to read! Every thing in the description of the property was exactly as we found it. Rosemary, who looks after the complex was excellent and was around most mornings and on the end of a phone if you needed anything - great service. Ian, the owner, was fantastic from the moment we enquired about the booking. He sent us details about car hire and even booked it for us. Then came perfect directions from the airport to the villa. Then came detailed info about the village, things to do and places to eat, the beaches, where to get the best ice creams and waffles and more. Always with the offer to go back to him if we wanted any further info. The village itself a bustling - even at the end of the season. It is about a 15 minute walk down to the harbour area where you will find lots of Tavernas, many of the on the beach and offer free sunbeds if you eat or drink there. There are also other beaches with in walking distance - our favourite was Green Beach - quieter, with a small number of sunbeds and a very good taverna. There are also places to visit and see - archaeological sites and places of interest nearby. All of the above made it just a perfect holiday. I can seriously recommend this for a relaxing, trouble free holiday. Thank you!

Excellent holiday spot
Perfect location for us for our Crete break. Looking for a first class Villa and an easy location. We found both. Immaculate Villa and very well equipped with all you need. 2 mins from all amenities; shops, beach and lovely Tavernas. Rosemary who supports the guests was superb. Great advice and very responsive. All in all a perfect holiday and we would highly recommend it.

Lovely complex and location
We have just come back from a two week holiday in Makrigialos and loved it. The villa is lovely, lots of balconies, spacious and comfortable and very well equipped for self-catering. The location is lovely, it is at the top of a hill which meant we did quite a lot of walking to the different beaches but this was fine for us and there are Taverna's almost next door so you don't have to go far for lovely food. In fact Gabianos which is right next door was superb. The beach opposite is lovely but the main beach, towards the harbour end was our preferred beach, lovely and sandy with lots of tavernas to choose from for lunch. We did quite a lot of exploring, walking the gorge, visiting local towns and beaches and loved the whole area. Ian was great, communication in the lead up to our holiday was good, the directions from the airport were fantastic and and on arrival Rosemary was very helpful, getting us settled with everything we needed to know quickly.

Great break
We had a great break at the end of July. The house was lovely - not for people with mobility issues due to spiral stairs - but perfect for us. The pool and surrounding terrace were beautifully clean and there were always sun beds available. Everyone staying there was friendly and polite. The beach and sea were gorgeous - just across the road and through the hotel grounds to get there. The village has lots of restaurants and bars so we tried a different place to eat each evening and weren’t disappointed once.

Nice quiet apt with great pool area
Stayed for 5 days with 2 teenage girls. Apartment is very nice but beds are quite hard as other guests have commented. Good size kitchen and living area and plenty of balconies to sit out on. Real bonus is the shared pool which is very tranquil and right outside your front door. We stayed in early June so not many properties were occupied. Often we had the pool to ourselves or there may be one or two other couples lounging around. Rosemary is very helpful and couple of great beaches within 7-8 min walk. Harbour is about 15 min walk but nice restaurants and a supermarket beside the apt

Super holiday home in laid back Makry Gialos
Superb holiday at this Grapevines Villa. Ian was a pleasure to deal with from the start of the booking process and couldn't have been more helpful. Makry Gialos is a lovely laid back town on the quieter South Eastern coast, but with plenty of character and a good choice of eateries etc. The pool on the complex was a great size and regularly enjoyed by all the family. We enjoyed the use of a car to see different sights around the island, (efficiently organised by Ian and Rosemary!), but others chose just to stay in the attractive complex. Grapevines suited us very much, with just 20 villas on site. Number 14 had everything we needed for our stay, and with a choice of two private balconies and an additional roof deck, we couldn't go wrong. Would have no hesitation in recommending Ian as the owner, or his lovely villa, and our only criticism would be of me for not booking a longer holiday there! Many happy memories created on this holiday and will no doubt rave about it for many years to come :)

Fantastic holiday in Crete
This was our first time to Crete and stay at Grapevines, and we picked the perfect place. The Villa surpassed all expectations, clean comfortable and spacious. Equipped with everything you would need. The pool is fantastic and a great size for a proper swim. The complex is very tastefully designed and peaceful, allowing for privacy at each property, we will definitely be back to stay. All ages are accommodated for. There are some lovely Taverna's only a few minutes walk from the Villa and many more a little further at the harbour, we were really spoilt for choice. The nearby beaches are wonderful. The surrounding scenery is stunning, and nearby villages easy to drive to. Driving generally stress-free! Thank you Ian for a completely perfect holiday, and big thanks to Rosemary for being so helpful. Kind regards from Louise, Gwyn, Liam and Siobhan Samuel
