Absolutely GORGEOUS villa with one of the best views we ever had. Breathtaking sunsets by the pool – our favourite moment of the day! Did a lot of research before choosing this villa and not disappointed (i) amenities provided are perfect you have everything you need right at the villa even beach chairs & sunbrellas (ii) spotless clean, with a mid stay cleaning included (iii) really close to the beach (500m) and the road is really not that bad when going slowly on that last 500m (we had a small car and didn’t have any problems) (iv) owner is welcoming and the gift was appreciated (v) property manager did an incredible job from start to finish always super responsive and flexible. Rooms are well divided and felt like home. Thanks again for everything, including flexible arrival/departure. Cheers!

Lovely villa in great location. Truly perfect just like the photos. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The owner brought us a lovely dessert and was so kind to us. We would recommend this villa to all our friends and family.
Follow directions to Orange Blue Bar and turn up the mountain to the villa. Do not drive across the mountain as the dirt road is very dangerous.

Das Haus ist wundeschön und groß. Alles war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet.
Der Pool war auch sauber. Der Aussicht war atemberaubend.
Stella, die Gastgeberin war auch immer erreichbar und sehr nett.
Insgesamt sind wir sehr zufrieden.

Es beginnt schon vor dem Urlaub. Hat man eine Frage zum Urlaub (Mietauto) etc. werden diese praktisch innerhalb kürzester Zeit beantwortet. Hierzu herzlichen Dank an Stella die uns prima vor und während des Urlaubes betreut hat. Der Weg zum
Haus ist das erste Mal doch recht “spannend” und man fragt sich doch wo man jetzt
wohl landet. Nach ca. 3 Minuten holpriger Auffahrt wird man dann mit einem wunderschönen Haus mit einer herrlichen Aussicht belohnt. Das Haus ist erstklassig
ausgestattet mit hochwertigen Möbeln und ist sehr gepflegt. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und hat eine Nespresso Kaffeemaschine was wir sehr schätzen. Das Wetter war zu unserer Zeit wunderbar und sehr angenehm. Der Pool ist gegenüber anderen Villen etwas kleiner aber durchaus ausreichend. Die Sonnenuntergänge an der Feuerstelle
mit einem kühlen Aperol sind wunderbar. Ein wirklich toller Einkaufsmarkt ist 15 Minuten entfernt. Zum genussvoll essen braucht man ein Auto. Unbedingt Tipps von Stella probieren!

Wahnsinn, das perfekte Haus. Grandioses Panorama, toller beheizter Pool. Wunderbare Outdoor Küche mit riesigen Grill und Lounge. Bequeme Betten, gut ausgestattete Küche. Und definitiv super Betreuung vor Ort. Wenn irgendwas nicht stimmt, wird schnell eine zufriedenstellende Lösung gefunden. Und der Reinigungsservice, perfekt und super sauber! Immer gerne wieder, absolute Empfehlung, danke! Viele tolle Tavernen direkt am Meer und Strand in 3-10mim Fahrtweg erreichbar.
PS: Das Haus ist mit jedem normalen Mietwagen erreichbar, wenn auch die letzten 3 Minuten über einen für Kreta typischen unbefestigten Weg gehen. Einfach langsam fahren, unser Renault Clio hat vielfach es geschafft.

Super Haus mit genialer Aussicht auf die Bucht von Falsssarna. Aussenanlage (Pool, Liegemöglichkeiten, Aussenesstisch usw.) 1a. Einziger Nachteil: eine Baustelle schräg vor dem Haus. Wichtig: man braucht ein gutes Auto für den letzten Teil der Anfahrt.

Eine der besten – wenn nicht die beste – Unterkunft in dieser Art (Villa mit eigenem Pool), die wir je gemietet haben. Der Ausblick mit Sonnenuntergang ist großartig, die Einrichtung hochwertig, die Betten sind bequem, der Pool nicht zu kalt usw.
Vielleicht ein ungewöhnliches Kriterium, aber besonders gelungen fand ich die Illumination des Außenbereiches. Es sind sehr viele Leuchten im Außenbereich verfügbar, die man einzeln ein- und ausschalten kann. So hat man die Wahl aus indirektem, weichem Licht, wenn man z.B. die Sterne sehen möchte oder einer helleren, direkten Beleuchtung, wenn man abends draußen Karten spielt.
Wir würden die Villa auf jeden Fall wieder mieten!
Tipp für die Umgebung: Geht unbedingt bei Taverne Spilios essen!

Die Unterkunft war einfach traumhaft schön.
In der Villa fühlt man sich direkt wohl, alles ist super sauber und hochwertig.
Der Ausblick ist super schön und die Sonnenuntergänge sind ein absoluter Traum.
Unser Host war wirklich toll!
Wir würden sofort wieder buchen und empfehlen die Unterkunft jedem weiter!

Our stay at Villa Cielo with Holiways was nothing short of SPECTACULAR. From the moment we booked in February, all the way on the lead up to our arrival and departure, Holiways have attended to us and aided to the most enjoyable holiday of our lives. Their service was excellent, provided advice/suggestions on where to go and where to eat, as well as helped us book a few activities.
Aside from their service, the villa was heaven. Overlooking the ocean, the villa was tranquil. It had many facilities which allowed us to enjoy the villa in several ways, more than just swimming in the pool. There was an outdoor bbq/kitchen, and outdoor lounge area with a fire pit (a perfect place to end the day) a grass are for some morning yoga, etc the list goes on.
The location was a stone’s throw from the best beach phalassarna where we had the best time. There was a local supermarket close by and a pretty cool bar called orange blue!
In short, I will definitely be coming back here again whenever I visit Crete. Crete will always be the island I visit when planning a trip to Greece.
A big thank you to Stella and Anne for making this trip the best memory.

Such an amazing villa. Will definitely come again. Beautifully positioned with panoramic views of the ocean with the most incredible sunsets. Multiple Restaurants and lovely beaches close by.
Would definitely recommend a hire though.
Amazing place run by holiway who were absolutely superb.

Our group of 6 adults had a wonderful time staying here! The house is incredible. Beds were comfortable, comfy linens, bathrooms were nice (and stocked with toiletries, hair dryers, etc.) and a fully stocked kitchen, including bottles of wine (for 10€ each). The view from the house of Falassarna Beach was stunning, especially at sunset. The beach and a few restaurants are walking distance from the villa.
Stella (our host) was very communicative and gave us a few great recommendations for restaurants and beaches. She greeted us with local Cretan snacks and a bottle of wine. We can’t speak to the pool being heated because a part hadn’t arrived so our experience with it was unheated. Balos Beach parking lot is about 40 mins away by car. Highly recommend Gramvousa restaurant which is near the villa and on the way to and from Balos Beach.
**Since it is so new, and if you are coming from Chania, I would very strongly recommend you set your navigation to drive to Platanos (it’s not that far out of the way, maybe 10 mins) and then from there set it to navigate to the villa to avoid the very, very rocky road in the olive groves that our navigation directed us through. Do not drive through the olive grove.**

A truly amazing house with everything you may need for your stay, fully equipped with stunning views of the bay.
The people managing the place were very profesional and helpful with everything.

Parfait ! Une vue magnifique !

Amazing house with a stunning view, plus very nice and professional hosts! Book it and you will be happy

This villa is absolutely stunning! Everything during our stay was perfect!! ….We’re already booking our return for next year.

The Villa Cielo is a wonderful place to relax and spend peaceful holidays.
The interior and the outside areas are very tasteful furnished. Its a pleasure to stay there.
The stunning sundowners are amazing.
You have very good restaurants nearby and beautiful beaches.
Our host Stella was very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much.
We will definately come back.

Sunsets that are now rich memories from this first class villa. Beautifully designed and tastefully appointed, perfect for up to 6 people. I do not recommend to book without a car. If your looking for a quiet location and a villa to spend quality time at, this is the place. Support from Holiway and the Owner was excellent. We truly look forward to returning in the future.

Amazing place.
The service was excellent. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful Villa, stunning views and well equipped for everything you may need. Beaches close by are beautiful, a very peaceful place to stay.
The staff at Holiways were attentive and helpful.
We had an excellent time – 10/10

We stayed in Villa Cielo. It was honestly stunning. The house has 2 bedrooms both en suite upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs with separate bathroom. The kitchen has all the amenities, washing machine, dishwasher, great bbq area. Sun beds really comfortable as are the beds. Great location close to Falasarna beach & small beach which, having done a little road trip to the beaches was our favourite!
Stella was super helpful and communicative and we will definitely be back and we rarely say that about places we go. It is accurately described. We had 2 small children and it was kid friendly, they provided travel cots, high chairs, all the bits we need.
Great week spent and I miss it already!

La villa es increíble! Vistas increíbles a la playa. El espacio exterior es súper grande, con todas las comodidades. Hasta los muebles y equipamiento son de primer nivel. Absolutamente fabuloso.
Hay un pequeño tramo del camino que es medio engorroso para llegar, pero vale absolutamente la pena!
Stella muy amable y gran anfitriona, nos recibió y ayudó con todo lo solicitado.
Sin duda repetiríamos la estancia!

Simply breathtaking! The views, villa, and hospitality were unmatched! An authentic Cretan experience in all its luxury. The Villa is superbly fitted with all the amenities you need to feel comfortably at home. We will definitely be returning to stay with you. A big thank you to our hosts for everything! *****Gramvousa Restaurant nearby is a MUST!

The villa is absolutely stunning (even better than the photos) and the views from the pool are incredible.
We were a party of 3 adults and 2 young children and there was plenty of space indoors and especially outdoors (especially loved the sunken double sun-bed to hide from the kids 😅).
Every detail has been thought of in terms of what guests might need during their stay and we could not have asked for any more. Stella was also a fantastic host throughout our stay.
There are plenty of tavernas to choose from within short driving distance of the villa, and if you opt to eat in for a couple of nights against the backdrop of the most beautiful sunset from the outside dining area, there is a decent supermarket 7 min drive away to stock up.
Do not hesitate to book this villa, you won’t be disappointed 🙂

Stunning in every way.. if you’re considering this villa, book it as you won’t be disappointed.
Location is idyllic ( although a bumpy track to reach the villa) and the villa is totally equipped for a family stay. The pool area and the outside kitchen dining area is amazing. We loved our stay!

Die Villa ist ein Traum! Alles da was man braucht! Stella ist super nett und organisiert gerne tolle Aktivitäten. Alle 3 Tage wird gereinigt. Außenanlagen mit Pool ist der Hammer… wir werden wieder kommen!!

It was amazing experience! Villa is really very clean, beautiful, all the little details are just thoughtful. The view is unreal!
Everyone is so friendly! We were so surprised and pleased with little gifts, was really nice. We would love to come again. And definitely recommend it!

Beautiful villa with amazing views

We moved out of another Air bnb after just one night and found this as an alternative. I’m so glad we did. It’s beautiful inside, with high quality fittings and furnishings. Great attention to detail and brilliant, thoughtful hosting. We were well looked after with the owner bringing us a huge chocolate cake for my nieces on the last day and of we had questions they were always responsive. It’s so well equipped and so well designed. The pool heated up nicely despite the weather being poor. It’s also in a beautiful area and there are so many lovely beaches to explore in Western Crete. Definitely get a car.

Wir können nur sagen das unsere Erwartungen übertroffen worden sind. Eine super schöne Villa mit sehr freundlichen und jederzeit erreichbaren und kümmernden Gastgeber.
Vielen Danke für eine wundervolle Zeit.

La maison est très belle avec une vue magnifique. Accès à la plage à pied en 10 min à peine
Très joliment décorée et très bien équipée, il ne manque rien.
Stella nous a donné de très bonnes adresses à découvrir.
Au calme, dans un endroit sauvage nous étions au top! Nous avons prolongé notre séjour!

Cielo e Mare is a very private space with blue seas, craggy mountains and absolutely amazing views of the sunsets!!!!! Too good to be true really.
We forgot what day it was, we rested and we still got to see lots of the island!
Like anywhere weather dictates what you do. Many days were spent relaxing by the pool or chilling at the pink sand beach, visiting the monasteries is Knossos Palace while windy days were spent reading, relaxing by the pool or eating at the local restaurants.
This Villa is an easy choice.
I hope we can come again.

Absolutely incredible! Views, pool & outdoor spaces are all stunning. We enjoyed it so much we found it difficult to leave the house and explore the island. Which is a huge compliment to the house and hosts!

We had an incredible time at the villa in Falasarna!
The outdoor amenities, including the pool and barbecue area, were absolutely fantastic. We spent our days lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and enjoying delicious meals cooked on the barbecue. And let’s not forget the view – it was simply stunning, especially during those unforgettable sunset moments.
The villa itself was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway.
Huge thanks to the hosts (especially S.) and to the owner for providing such a wonderful retreat. We can’t wait to come back!

The house is essentially brand new. The pool is beautiful, it all photographs really well. The AC works great, everything is very well built. The views are unmatched. Sunsets from this west facing property are fabulous. It would be ridiculous to not give this property 5 stars. I will say that the property is very exposed to the sun and not a ton of consideration was given to shade. There are many seating areas but they aren’t all super functional and if you want to visit in the summer, as we did, many of the areas are not a very comfortable hang out. Lastly, on the negative side, the road to the house, albeit short, is pretty brutal after a few days of staying there. You sense that there’s a plan to pave a road up there at some point in the future with the development going on around there but it feels like it will be awhile. That said I wouldn’t let that stop me from booking the property, it just came as a bit of a surprise for me.

Wunderschönes Haus! Toller Pool mit vielen Liegemöglichkeiten auf der Terrasse. Super ausgestattete Küche!
Nach 3 Nächten kam sogar einmal das Housekeeping vorbei. Alles in allem ein toller Aufenthalt!

Good quality accommodation. Well maintained. Good furnishings and fixtures. Well laid out. Pool is small but the whole terrace area is very well laid out and sunbeds and seating is really ample and gives a nice sense of space. Top marks for simple quality. Stunning views as per Crete standards!

Beautiful house, exactly like the pictures, beautiful location, clean, great recommendations – we had an unforgettable stay!

Fantastic villa, beautifully appointed, just a few minutes’ drive from beautiful Falassarna beach. We’ll be back!

It starts before the vacation. If you have a question about the vacation (rental car) etc., these are answered practically within a very short time. Many thanks to Stella who looked after us very well before and during the vacation. The way to the house is quite “exciting” the first time and you wonder where you probably end up. After about 3 minutes of bumpy driveway you will be rewarded with a beautiful house with a magnificent view. The house is first class equipped with high-quality furniture and is very well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped and has a Nespresso coffee machine which we greatly appreciate. The weather was wonderful and very pleasant during our time. The pool is a bit smaller compared to other villas but quite sufficient. The sunsets at the fire pit with a cool Aperol are wonderful. A really great shopping market is 15 minutes away. You need a car to eat well. Be sure to try Stella’s tips!

Three generations of us spent a wonderful week at Villa Cielo. The sunsets were breathtaking and the service was perfect. The owner and Stella were always available and very helpful. We really enjoyed the nearby beaches and the surf. We are happy to recommend Villa Cielo and hope to return.

Super house with ingenious views of the bay of Falsssarna. Outdoor area (pool, sunbathing facilities, outdoor dining table, etc.) 1a. Only downside: a construction site diagonally in front of the house. Important: you have to have a good car for the last part of the journey.

Amazing, the perfect house. Magnificent panorama, great heated pool. Wonderful outdoor kitchen with huge grill and lounge. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. And definitely great support on site. If something is wrong, a satisfactory solution is quickly found. And the cleaning service, perfect and super clean! Always happy to come back, absolute recommendation, thank you! Many great taverns right by the sea and beach within 3-10 minutes’ drive.
PS: The house is accessible by any normal rental car, although the last 3 minutes are on a typical unpaved road for Crete. Just drive slowly, our Renault Clio has done it many times.
