Beautiful Villa with panoramic views

Lorraine & Stuart were fantastic hosts before & during our stay. A beautiful property with lovely views across to Chania & White Mountains. Very comfortable and amazing pool. (Largest we have had to date). Everything you could need is available making it a home from home experience. Lots of places to discover just a short car journey away including restaurants and beaches as well as supermarkets all in easy reach.

A little slice of Cretan paradise

Villa Tamos is a wonderful, well-equipped, spacious villa in a beautiful setting and we absolutely loved our time there. The pool is as perfect as the view and grounds and Stuart and Lorraine were super-helpful hosts. The villa is well located for exploring Crete and the restaurants/bars/shops of Almyrida are only ten minutes drive away. There is a long unmade track to the property, which needs driving with care, but it's well worth it, and we hope to return one day! Thank you for everything. 10/10 from the Ross Family.

Perfect location, great hosts

This is a beautiful location with a stunning view. It's very peaceful but only a few minutes drive from Almyrida which is a small town but has an incredible number of wonderful and friendly restaurants and a lovely beach. From the villa you can also walk to a village which has a couple of little restaurants. The pool was a really great size and the outdoor pool shower was appreciated. I loved the garden with lots of little hidden areas and filled with beautiful flowers and plants, lots of old olive trees and a very impressive lemon tree. The beds were much bigger than they look in the photos and mattresses were very comfortable. Our hosts were very helpful and responsive but not at all intrusive. The wi-fi was also very reliable and fast which is great for such a rural villa. We missed having some kind of outdoor sofa type seating but that certainly wouldn't detract us from coming back and highly recommending this villa that gave us such a great holiday! Thank you!

Beautiful villa in a stunning location

Fantastic holiday in a beautiful villa in a stunning location. We have visited Almyrida for many years and stayed in a number of different villas, but Villa Tamos is definitely one of the most beautiful and well-equipped villas we've ever stayed in, the pool was a huge hit, and the location was absolutely stunning. We very much hope to return soon.

So nice and relaxing

really a nice and relaxing place. Splendid villa and very good condition. I really recommend it to families. Only one piece to take into account, which is not related to the villa but more to the road to get there - it is quite ruff and not recommended for a sport car.

Beautiful Villa in a stunning location

Villa Tamos is beautiful - very clean, fully equipped, comfortable, gorgeous location with an amazing huge and warm pool. My family of 4 had a wonderful 2 weeks there this August and we were all very sad to leave! Communication with the owner was excellent before and during our stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The fascinating Roman ruins at Aptera are only 25 minutes away and we were spoilt for choice for beaches. An amazing holiday!!!

Lovely villa with great location

Beautiful villa with great view. It was nice to have breakfast at the patio and enjoy the view. Pool was great and we really spend a lot of time swimming. Garden was beautiful, we loved the big olive trees. Villa was in very good condition and there was everything we needed in the kitchen. We had great evenings watching the sun go down and enjoy warm nights in the balcony.

Idlyllic location, views to die for, a perfect place to stay. The villa was spotless, as was the pool and the villa was well equipped, everything we needed was there. Thoroughly recommended as a great place to stay to explore Western Crete, though you may find it hard to drag yourself away from the pool. A car is required but the nearest supermarkets/restaurants are only a 5 minute drive away.

Villa Tamos 22/5/19 to 5/6/19

The villa is well appointed and comfortable. The pool is delightful. Above all the situation is wonderful with views to the sea and to the mountains. The sea is only 15 minutes away for sunbathing, swimming and relaxing. The notes for the property were useful and include a reliable guide to the local, and not so local, restaurants. Chania is an interesting town, and Heraklion, with Knossos and the museum should not be missed.

Beautiful well-equiped villa with spacious garden

We stayed with our son and daughter (age 19 and 17) for 1 week in May 2018 in this beautiful villa. The house is clean and well equipped, peaceful/quiet and offers stunning views of the sea and mountains. The garden is spacious and offers absolute privacy. The beach from Almyrida can be reached by a nice 30 min walk, but the swimming pool is also clean and refreshing. The welcome basket with breakfast items and drinks was much appreciated as we arrived late in the evening. We would love to come back! Manon Z

Superb holiday location

We went for a 'girls holiday' for a week in May. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm every day. The villa, pool and garden were maintained to an impressively high standard, and were regularly cleaned. The villa was ideally sited for those of us who wanted to explore Crete's culture and history - but it also offered the perfect location for lounging around the pool with a glass of wine for those of us feeling less energetic. The owners are very knowledgeable about the island, and can offer suggestions for trips, restaurants, etc. I came home feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated - and would recommend it without reservation.

Magnificent view

Had a fantastic 5 day break at Villa Tamos, could have easily stayed longer. A view to kill for from the terrace and around the pool, magnificent. Even though it was starting to get cool in the UK in October we still have lovely weather in Crete. The Villa has everything and all the comforts you could possibly want from a home away from home & if you don't want to cook then the coastal village of Almirida is very close with some excellent eating places. If you like history and atmosphere then Chania is brilliant. Would also recommend a visit to the WW2 Commonwealth War Graves cemetery on the way back to the airport. I think everyone had a tear in their eyes.

Fabulous place to stay, highly recommended!

We have stayed at Villa Tamos for two wonderful weeks. The Villa was a fantastic place to stay and relax, we had lots of room to spread out, it is very well maintained and very clean. It was everything we hoped it would be. We loved the view across to the White Mountains and enjoyed evenings on the balcony looking across Souda Bay and seeing the lights and nightime activity. Almyrida is a lovely village, you can get everything you need there and there are lots of wonderful restaurants to choose from, we were spoilt for choice! There are also wonderful restaurants in the nearby villages which we also visited. We joined Captain Nick in Chania on his glass bottomed boat - we all loved this and got some fabulous underwater photographs of us snorkelling. We drove over to the other side of Crete and loved the scenery. Visited Elafonisi beach and Balos - amazing water. Sad to leave, but will definitely plan to return - highly recommend this as a holiday destination.

Unbelievable

We did our homework...Villa Tamos is by far the nicest HomeAway property we have ever rented. (Barcelona, Mallorca, Rome, 3X Miami Beach, Manhattan) It is much nicer than pictured and far nicer than any of the reviews described it. The view, the house, the property, the pool and the location are superb. Lorraine lives close by and and will go out of her way to help in any way she can. My girlfriend spent literally all day long in the pool. which was perfect temperature. Thank goodness we had a car, as the walk into town is a little too strenuous. We never ventured farther than Almyida; there were very nice restaurants there right along the water. We fully intend to return. Thank you Mr & Mrs Baker Pavlina from Prague & Jim from Pennsylvania

Tranquillity

17th-27th June 2017 We have stayed in several villas in Crete so have some to compare villa Tamos too, it's up there at the top for the views, cleanliness, location and layout of the villa. I'll mention the things that matter .. the pool was clean, spacious and maintained - cleaned twice in our 10 day stay. Villa, equipped with all that's needed, comfortable beds, extra large fans for warm nights, towels, all cooking utensils, clean comfortable sofa, balconies for drinking wine while watching the sun sets/rises, views I can't describe how picturesque the views are..you need to see for yourself, Hot water and plenty of it, beautiful maintained gardens and a very thoughtful cleaner that really does all she can. The owner is obviously experienced or thoughtful as we needed nothing that wasn't there already. If your looking at the villa and reading this then I would recommend a stay, we will be returning to this villa next year and looking forward to it.

Stunning, private, peaceful location and wonderfully equipped villa!

We absolutely loved staying up in the hills above Almyrida. The villa is so welcoming and so brilliantly equipped, that we sometimes found it hard to actually go out and see the sights of Crete! We all appreciated the peace, the beautiful lush garden and hillsides, the sheep bells, the cicada, and of course the amazing pool. We walked to both local villages -Douliana and Gavalochora- and had great meals in both places. The folk museum in Gavalochora is exquisite. Favourite taverna there is the one in the main square opposite the bakery. One highlight of the trip was travelling over the mountains to Elafonisi, swimming in crystal clear, warm waters (even in late October - although we are Scottish and used to freezing lochs, so 'warm' is probably relative!) and buying honey and beeswax from the locals. Everything about the villa and the island was wonderful. Highly recommend! Thank you, Lorraine, for all your advice and tips prior to arrival. Good luck with your ongoing projects in Crete. 🙂

Idyllic stay in the heart of Crete

We had a wonderful time! The house and property are located on a hill in western Crete within easy driving distance of many sites including Chania - we planned a lot of touring. We were able to hike the Imbros Gorge and beaches at Elafinisi and Balos (highly recommended!), among other outings. The house is essentially new, and has all the facilities we were looking for - we especially loved meals and enjoying drinks poolside! The lemon tree's fruits were a bonus!!! The sunset views are surprisingly spectacular, overlooking the hills and sea! The house is equipped with three bedrooms, including one double bed and two rooms with two single beds each - all rooms were comfortably air conditioned. Although we normally had to drive almost anywhere given our agenda, it was nice to walk a couple of times to Douliana for dinner: Heloistasi restaurant was a nice find! The only drawback are the roads to approach (wasn't really an issue for us), honestly a general issue in Crete off the main roads (!!): expect about 2km of challenging off-road driving to approach the house.

Fantastic villa in peaceful surroundings - with great pool.

Communication with Lorraine and Stuart was excellent. Our visit was in September 2020 - and there had been a lot of uncertainty as to whether we would be able to travel to Crete due to Covid 19. The villa was relatively easy to find with the directions supplied - although we did also use a satnav. As other reviews state - some of the roads leading to it are unpaved, steep and uneven in places - however we were in a rented Citreon C1 which coped without a problem. The villa was spotlessly clean and well maintained. It is spacious and has adequate cooking facilities. The pool is a great size, was always warm as it benefits from sun for most of the day. The views from pool area and the balconies were a pleasure to wake up to. The villa is well situated to visit the western half of Crete. The village of Douliana which is approx. a 1 kilometre away has 2 reasonably priced restaurants - food in both was very tasty and plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the villa - very relaxing and would highly recommend it.

Fabulous!

We stayed here for two weeks in early June, and I can honestly say it is the best villa we have ever been to. The views are just gorgeous, to the front you have the fabulous view to the sea and Souda bay beyond, and to the back you have the white mountains, still with a bit of snow on them. The villa itself was spotlessly clean on arrival, and was kept that way by Yvonne, with towels and bedding changed regularly. Her husband Kevin looked after the pool, which is very generous in size so you are able to do some proper swimming (useful to try and lose a few calories after all the cakes and pastries we ate!) The pool area has plenty of sun loungers and chairs so there is always somewhere different to sit, either in the sun or shade. The covered terrace is perfect for breakfast and indeed all meals, and is a cool place out of the sun. The rest of the garden has lots of very colourful plants and flowers and is SO peaceful, you can only really hear the sound of the sheep bells tinkling as they roam around the olive groves that surround the property. The area itself is lovely and green ( and we experienced some of the rain that keeps it so!) and the local beaches of Kalives and Almyrida are lovely and sandy and very safe for children. Plenty of tavernas in both villages, plus supermarkets, everything you could need, plus those bakeries! Our favourite taverna is Monicas in Gavalahori, very friendly and great food. All in all I cannot rate this villa highly enough, I would recommend it to anyone and we are hoping to go back next year.

Superbe, Vue, Équipements, Accueil

Une superbe vue sur la mer, une piscine toujours propre, une villa très jolie et pratique, parfaitement équipée, tout comme chez soi, et le soleil chaque jour. Que demander de plus pour se reposer et découvrir les beaux sites et paysages de la Crète. C'est la 5eme fois que nous venons sur cette île et c'est toujours un bonheur et de paisibles vacances. Nous préférons cette partie à l'ouest pour ses paysages, grottes, plages magnifiques. A notre arrivée très tardive, tout le nécessaire nous attendait: bouteille d'eau fraîche, de vin, et du beurre au frigidaire ainsi que de la bonne huile maison, du café, thé, petits beurre, pain... De très belles attentions. Encore merci à Lorraine et Stuart très sympathiques et accueillants. A recommander sans aucune hésitation. 👍
