Super cozy Cretan Village!

Beautiful quiet picturesque village!

Wonderful place, peaceful, good food, lovely walks,friendly people. What more can you ask?

Very pretty. Traditional. Great food in douluana taverns.

I had booked with my family for the week of July 19-28, 2020, on January 1st, 2020. Unfortunately, my flight from Canada was canceled due to COVID-19. As I was unable to make it to Greece due to the canceled flight and explained the situation to the manager (Veronica) at Douliana Villas. Veronica was not willing to refund me the cost of the booking nor was she willing to allow me to book in the future (summer 2021) unless I was willing to pay extra fees. Way to take advantage of people during this situation, especially when they have no control over the situation. I look forward to coming to Greece in 2021 and visiting Crete, luckily you don't represent the wonderful hospitality of the Greek people.

Had a fantastic time there. Every comfort delightful decor. Great sized pool. Lots of space including outdoor kitchen . Can't begin to tell you how big it is. Wonderful countryside yet close to beaches. Having a car would be advantageous if you want to venture out to local beaches. Thank you to the owners for keeping it up to date.

Do not book - be warned We had a wedding of 80 people booked for Crete in August 2020, majority coming from Australia. 60 of the guests, including us, were booked at Douliana Villas for 1 week at a cost of 17,190 euros, of which 8,595 euros was paid as a deposit. When covid-19 made it impossible for the wedding to proceed as planned we informed Veronica from Douliana Villas ASAP in April 2020 the wedding would have to be postponed to 2021 and the Villas were instantly available for others to rent. Veronica assured us our 8,595 euro deposit was valid for the postponed wedding in 2021. She did keep telling us “it was our choice not to have the wedding in August 2020” – this left us lost for words. Fast forward to January 2021 and Veronica contacts us to advise that our 8,595 euro deposit that was still valid for 2021 is not really valid and explained in incomprehensible logic that only 4297.50 euros was still valid and we had to pay another 4297.50 euros to secure accommodation for our scaled down wedding in 2021. Referring Veronica to our agreement (which is all in email), discussions went nowhere. She just kept saying it was “our choice not to have the wedding in August 2020. Flights were available” and going on and on about the “special deal” we got and shouldn’t complain. For the record, when we initially booked, she gave a price and we agreed. There was zero negotiation. We physically visited Douliana Villas in person twice in one week in September 2019, and my fiancé is a native Greek speaker, and still this is how we were treated. We would not recommend dealing with this business in anyway. There are many other beautiful places to stay in Crete; support the good, honest businesses. We will be taking our business elsewhere for our wedding in 2021.
