The climate is wonderful with hot sunny days , long warm balmy nights throughout the summer and mild winters.

Guestbook

Mr & Mrs P - Doncaster - "We've had a fantastic time, Thank you! The views are amazing. We would never tire of looking out at the mountains and the sea. The apartment shining (should be featured in a magazine) and your helpfulness and hospitality wonderful. We feel so relaxed and are sorry that we have to leave. We will recommend Villa Ozymandias without reservation".

Mr & Mrs S - Swindon "What a wonderful setting you've chosen for your home and to think that you're prepared to share it with just about anyone!! Sandra certainly has the knack for styling the rooms and Chris is always willing to give local information about places to visit and some fantastic tavernas. Thank you both for making us so welcome, it's been brilliant".

Mr & Mrs B - Kurnell Australia "Well what can we say, it's been a fantastic week, great company, great accommodation, fantastic views. Everything was perfect, we just love it here and will recommend it to all our friends. Thanks again for a fantastic week, it was just too short but we hope to come back out some time. Friends always".

Mr & Mrs R - Southampton "of all the gin joints in all the world, we had to walk into yours - play it again San!" Fabulous apartment, perfect hosts, unbeatable views and a very special opportunity to see the real Crete. A fantastic two weeks only made possible by the faultless style of Sandra, not forgetting Captain Amstel himself! Thanks Chris and San - we'll be back".

Mr & Mrs S - Tunbridge "Wonderful holiday! Wonderful views! Wonderful hosts! Thank you for making our holiday so special. Chris' (the honeyman!) tours of the mountains will be remembered forever. Thank you both so much for a fantastic time.

Mr & Mrs C - Tunbridge "It sounds too good to be true, the perfect holiday for the 4 of us, 2 apartments, our own pool, panoramic views, quiet location, owners on site - well it has been perfect. 5 star accommodation, spotlessly clean, immaculate linen and towels, many personal touches throughout our stay "the washing up fairy", sunbeds, cushions, bistro area and swimming pool, all 5 star. But most important fact, you were perfect hosts, it's as if we stayed with friends that had moved to Crete! Without you we would never have experienced the real Cretan life or beauty on the mountain tours. Thank you both for making our holiday PERFECT!"
