Everything was perfect ! Pictures are not

a lie ! This luxury villa is new and really confortable and beautiful, the outdoor part absolutely amazing with many different spaces and the panoramic view fantastic!

Better to have a car, even better a SUV to reach all the beautiful beaches and activities around.

Owners and especially their son Michael

are very kind and helpfull as well as Nicky the cleaning lady.

Special thanks to Jenny so quick to organize everything and to filfull all our demands .We were 2 families of 4 and 5 people and we all highly recommand villa Emilia.

The Villa is amazing: powerful view on the sea, very spacious with all the necessary amenities and even more, very close to the village even if it is a little bit outside in order to enjoy the quite and the peace of the countryside.
Stella has been really kind and always at our disposal. We really enjoyed our time in the Villa and we warmly recommend it to other guests.
Creta is an amazing place!

The Villa was absolutely stunning. It was much better in person than it showed on photos.
We were greeted by a super friendly host, Stella. She made us feel welcome and we felt right at home. Everything was provided to us and it was a safe and secure house . The views were incredible. BBQ area is a great touch! We spent most of our evenings enjoy a lovely feast. Coffee machine and dishwasher helped us greatly. All the cutlery needed were present. PS4 , TV , Pool, Living area was all just perfect! I would fully recommend this place to every person that checks this place out . Words are not enough to describe how good this place is.
This is definitely value for money!!!

The villa is wonderful with a stunning view on the city and the sea. The house is very new and in a perfect condition. All necessary amenities and even more. The kids loved the PS4 and the big TV. The pool is wonderful with an amazing view. The super friendly host Stella made us feel welcome and was very responsive. We highly recommend this place!!

The house a beautiful house with beautiful view. It’s close to supermarket in Kissamos.
The bed is very comfortable.

Had an amazing stay at Villa Emilia with a group of friends. The space is amazing. Had a group of 9 of us and the 5 bedrooms were perfect. The layout is open plan, and the outdoor space is great for taking it easy. The view from the house out to the bay and over Kissamos is absolutely stunning. It’s about a 10 minute walk into Kissamos and about a 20 minute drive to Chania. The hospitality was great and Stella was very responsive and helpful. We didn’t want to leave and would definitely recommend!

We were a group of 9 friends and family including our 17 year old son and a friend. We stayed at Villa Emilia for a week at the end of August.
The property is stunning – the reality really does match the photos. Sleek clean interior and fantastic outdoor space with a great functional bbq. The kitchen is well equipped and we happily cooked dinners there several nights.
That view is absolutely phenomenal. Few places you stay, however beautiful will better that view.
All the bedrooms are comfortable if not enormous and 4 have en-suites. The ground floor room is slightly smaller and its bathroom is adjacent. The master bedroom is the largest, is on the top floor and has a bath rather than a shower.

Kissamos is a nice local town with a bit of tourism rather than a tourist town with a few locals. I really liked this. I’d read a few reviews of the town that said its a bit underwhelming at first, but grows you. This is spot on. There’s a few nice bars and tavernas along the front and some really nice shops including butchers, a bakery, wine shop, a handful of supermarkets. The largest supermarket can be found on the way out of town heading west and has a wet fish section as well as a large butchery, a car park and is good for larger shopping expeditions. The Agora supermarket in the centre of town (on the corner of the road you turn up to the villa) is owned and run by the villa owner and is also a good place to shop.
You probably need a car if only to carry you shopping. The best deal I found was with Auto Club of Chania – they provided a great service.
The town is easily walkable if a bit more challenging up hill on the way back but makes a pleasant and easy evening stroll.
We also arranged a chef service for dinner on one evening. I used Prive Chef Services of Chania to come out and cook for us – again a great service.
Stella at Holiways was helpful and responsive. Cleaning and bed changing was provided on day 4 and the same lady turned up on check out morning. This was relaxed, pleasant and she worked around us as we packed up and left. We weren’t chased out of the villa at 11 but sat around until about 12.30 to make our way back to the airport for an afternoon flight.
Worth a visit is the archaeological site at Polyrrinia and also Akropolis Taverna there. It’s about a 15 minute drive on winding but surfaced roads (follow your Googlemaps but take the road running up from the east of Kissamos not the road that passes the villa as this turns into an unmade road). Interesting site and a fab view if you climb to the top of the hill past the church. There’s also a nice shop in the village selling carved olive wood items – the owner will pour local spirit down you and be generally entertaining! We ate at the Akropolis twice – once 3 of us for lunch after exploring the site and all of us for dinner on our last evening. This is a proper family run eatery in the middle of no-where serving home grown, home cooked, fantastic food at incredibly reasonable prices. The sunset was as great as the food and the drive back in the dark, not as scary as expected!
The drive from Chania airport takes about 40 minutes and most of it is along the E65 so very easy. Once in Kissamos take the road up from the Agora supermarket. Stella will send you the route but Googlemaps may try to take you up a different way which will include a steep unmade road which you will not make without a 4×4. We did this and so did the Chania chefs!

Wir hatten eine sehr gute Zeit in der Villa Emilia. Auto sehr von Vorteil.
Ausstattung für Küche: bitte alles mitbringen inkl. Salz/Gewürze.
Pool für die Kinder toll.
Schönes Panorama von Terrasse.
Ingesamt positiv!

Villa Emilia is stunningly beautiful with an amazing view over the the bay in front of Kissimos. It really is a 5 star villa in a great location only 2 minutes down the hill by bike or car to the town itself. (The hill is steep so it’s a bit longer back up!) Stella, the host, was incredibly helpful and able to provide the answer to every question we asked. Through her we were able to go scuba diving, mountain biking, play squash, visit beautiful beaches and enjoy eating out in the local area, in particular at a restaurant called Gramboussa in Kalyviani which is quite simply stunning and ought to be even more well-known than it is.
The photographs on the website are good but can’t capture the light and spacious nature of the villa: you have to be there. Thanks again, Stella, for a great holiday!
