Summary: After a late arrival it was wonderful to arrive to such a warm welcome at 1891 home. The villa has such a beautiful setting but it's so much more than an amazing view with a wonderful pool, although those were amazing! Alexandra had really thoughtfully stocked the villa with everything you might need for a comfortable stay and the village setting is a real taste of authentic Crete with two amazing tavernas within easy walk. As our son repeatedly said, "best holiday ever!"

Summary: 1891 is a truly beautiful holiday home. Alexandra, the owner, has succeeded in preserving and celebrating the history of the property as an olive mill whilst making it a modern and comfortable home with a great kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Her attention to detail is evident throughout. The mattresses in the bedrooms are extremely comfortable and the A/C works really well. The family and local history that are so closely woven through the property make it really special. The views through the picture window and from the fabulous infinity pool really are to die for. The pool is a good size and having an integrated toddler pool area was yet another clever touch. The welcome pack goes beyond what you might expect - generous and thoughtful. I can't recommend this holiday home highly enough. It is fantastic. The owner is truly welcoming and goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great stay.

Summary: We enjoyed close to 3 weeks at 1891 Home, in Kefalas, Crete. It really did feel like our home away from home. Alexandra greeted us at the door, even as we arrived later than expected. She explained some of the history of the Home, and its importance to her, her family and the community. I have some dietary needs, and she went out of her way to make sure we had some gluten free food in the house until we could purchase our own. Alexandra made sure that we were able to contact her if needed, anytime of day. The house is immaculate, well stocked and very comfortable. The views of the Mediterranean Sea are spectacular, morning, noon and night. We found the place to be exactly as advertised, and would highly recommend it to others.

Summary: Alexandra was a delightful hostess, who also well explained the colorful family history of the property. The property is very well kept and the yard is stunning, very well designed (I suspect by Alexandra). We were left a nice supply of basic staples, as well as lovely Cretan red wine and Raki. She helped make sure that we were able to find our route to the property and was there to greet us. It is a small village and the people were friendly.

Summary: We wanted our week-long stay at 1891 Home to last forever! The pictures are spectacular and yet even more breathtaking in person! It is a stunning and spacious Cretan home, very comfortable for our family of four, impeccably decorated, and loaded with charm and character with all the modern amenities. We feel lucky to have experienced such beauty. Alexandra is a wonderful, warm, and considerate host, who greeted us upon arrival and was very responsive throughout the entire booking process. She welcomed us with traditional homemade food from her mother, as well as wine, olive oil, a basket of fresh tomatoes, as well as other delicious and luscious local food, and a fridge stocked with the essentials. She provided tons of information about the house and the area which was very helpful. The walls are lined with photos of her ancestors who owned the olive mill that was beautifully converted into the home. The pool was the icing on the cake, with magical views, and provided us with hours of relaxation and fun. Kefalas itself is off the beaten path yet perfectly located, with a brief walk to the local supermarket and taverna and easy drives to tons of beautiful beaches and places to explore, and is even a doable drive to Elafonisi beach. 1891 Home will always hold a special place in our hearts and was the highlight of our time in Crete. It made our family vacation incredibly special with memories to last a lifetime. We look forward to a return visit! Efcharisto Alexandra!

Summary: From the moment we got there and were welcomed by Alexandra, we felt right at home. Alexandra warmly greeted us with the history of her family home and gave us a tour. The house was perfect in every way and immaculate! It had old world charm with all the modern conveniences including the infinity pool with an amazing view. The welcome treats included her Mom's homemade cookies which were delicious. Although the house is in a remote location, you can walk to the local stores and restaurants for a delicious meal. There are multiple beaches nearby within a short drive. It was the perfect get-away! Thank you to Alexandra for a wonderful stay in your family home :)

Summary: Sometimes I don’t want to put good reviews because then it will get booked up when I want to come back :) If you read the description and it’s what your after then look no further. Everything was exactly as we wanted for our holiday, we like a bit of privacy and having a place to ourselves when we want to relax. Local tavernas not far away by car and shops with the essentials a 5 minute stroll away. Alexandra was on hand for any questions or advice for things to do and we can’t wait to return.

Summary: Just back and wishing we were still there. 1891 Home is a lovely spacious villa with an infinity pool and amazing views out to sea. Quite a remote location which we liked, but only five minutes walk to a couple of small supermarkets, tavernas and a bar. We arrived late at night but the key was in a secure location for us to gain access and Alexandra had left enough essentials and treats to keep us going for the first few days which was a lovely gesture. Everything you will need is there. You will need a hire car though, we had one delivered to the villa on the first day from Auto Club in Chania, dropped it off at Heraklion airport - would also recommend. Would highly recommend this beautiful find.

Summary: We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Alexandra and this beautiful home on Crete. We were looking to find a less touristy location to spend 4 days to enjoy local atmosphere. The town is a short walk and the people of Kefalas were welcoming! The home felt like home and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay! Thank you Alexandra for your hospitality…

Summary: We loved our trip to Crete and did not have enough time to see it all. We will definitely return. Part of the experience was Alexandra`s little Paradise over the hill with a magnificent view of the ocean and surrounding mountains. That, the pool and lovely breeze was enough to convince ourselves to chill and stay at the house a few days instead of exploring the island. Alexandra was courteous and quite helpful. We walked into a well equipped lovely house that already had food and beverages. It is spacious and very comfortable. We had friends staying in Chania and we were initially concerned that Kefalas may too far from the action but never regretted our choice. The surrounding area is very nice. There is a good restaurant at the village and a food market that is operated by a lovely lady that sells local produce . There are several nice beaches from 15 to 45 min away. Balos beach and Samaria`s gorge should be on top of your list of things to experience. Thanks you Alexandra for your help and little paradise over the hill.
