Guestbook for SK PLACE
The place is more than it is promising on the web-site! The view is breathtakingly beautiful! The place is peaceful and wonderful for relaxing and enjoying luxury of life. Early morning sun rising with the clear sky, the mountain view is extraordinary. Night sky with stars is one-of-a-kind. The villa itself is designed to perfection! I had also the pleasure of getting to know Katerina and Pavlos, who are the owners of the wonderful place and they are simply the best! This place I will visit again! LEENA FINLAND
When my friends and I saw the photos, we didn't believe such a place could be real. Well, it is! We spent 10 days in the beautiful, luxurious Villa Anemos, being pampered as never before. Two smiling maids showed up every day to make this immaculate home even more spotless. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the pool really does look out on infinity, or at least the bay. Delivery of delicious Greek hot meals or a taxi required the push of a telephone button. The village of Almyrida was a 5 minute walk away, but we still felt we had the islond to ourselves due to the location and security. We might have ventured out more, but why travel around in uncomfortable heat when the superbly air-conditioned villa had everything? NELLAPOOM US
This was our second visit and, hopefully, not our last. Accommodation is truly first class. Spacious, well equipped and very well maintained. Location is excellent with uninterrupted sea views and beautiful sunsets. Within 5 mins walk you have the decent Almyrida beach and a number of Tavernas offering excellent Cretan food (amid the burgers and fish and chips - Almyrida is a popular resort with the English!). More traditional Cretan villages are within an easy drive but, to be honest, we hardly left the villa/taverna/beach nexus since everything there was so nice. ANDY MILLER SCOTLAND
