Summary: A fantastic Villa which is well thought out and designed. It is much more spacious than you could imagine for a property that can sleep a large group if needed. Brilliant location. Last & not least a mention goes to the host/owner Joanna who is incredibly helpful and Thoughtful. Always available if required. Definitely one of the best hosts experienced, will visit again.

Summary: From the moment we arrived in Crete, we felt welcomed by Joanna. She asked us to keep her updated about the timing of our journey from the airport and was at the villa to welcome us with the keys and had supplied us with enough food to see us well into the next day, including a delicious evening meal. The villa is clean, spacious and had everything we could have thought we might need, including fresh herbs in the garden (and by the road up the hill), and bath and pool towels. We had a wonderful 2 weeks in the villa, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and exploring parts of Crete. Joanna was a wonderful host and was always available to answer queries. Thank you for a very memorable and happy holiday. We hope to return sometime in the future.

Summary: The villa is excellently equipped and very clean. The villa owner is very welcoming and provided us with an excellent welcome package and supplied a cooked dinner for our first night which was delicious. She was very kind and helpful during our stay. An exceptional host! Reptisland and Melidoni caves are within walking distance, great places to visit! Also, the wooden sculpture museum, about 30 mins drive away, is a joy to see.The local supermarkets are small and don't sell meat, but there are butchers in Perama who supply good quality products. A lovely relaxing place to recharge batteries.

Summary: The property was very clean, comfortable and very well stocked. Bath towels and pool towels were provided. Joanna was a fabulous host. She made a big pasta cook pot on our arrival, left some lovely home bicuits and stocked the fridge with basic necessities. The Villa has a lovely clean pool, bbq area, 3 bicycles, and a ping pong table, which we had lots of fun with! The Villa is just a 5 mins walk or so to a small local village, where there is a fabulous Taverna. There are a few shops there for necessities and gifts. The location is very peaceful and ideal to explore Crete and it's beaches...so I would definately recommend a car! The Host Joanna was very kind and during the week dropped in home made treats! We all had a lovely stay (2 adults, 3 children, ages 10/15 & 16) We would totally recommend Villa Evanthia! Aug 2023

Joanna the host went above and beyond to make our holiday perfect and we're very grateful - nothing was too much. I can't recommend this villa enough; walking distance to a beautiful village with an wonderful restaurant run by Katerina another lovely lady. Don't hesitate to book this holiday villa. Thank you again Joanna x

Summary: From the moment you land, Joanna is the best host you could ever ask for. She was there to greet us and welcome us to Crete and Villa Evanthia. Her hospitality and friendliness are second to none, even going as far as making and bringing us dinner on the first night and cakes during the week. The fridge was stocked with everything you could need for your first day or two and more. The villa was so well equipped, there was nothing we needed that we couldn't find in the kitchen. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The bedrooms were great, air conditioning worked well throughout. Wifi occasionally dropped out but totally to be expected. We bought a Fire Stick for the TV from the UK but didn't use much. The main attraction is the outside area and the pool. I could just gaze at it all day. The garden was beautiful and lit up like a Christmas tree at night which was awesome. The stunning surrounding mountains and views I miss more each day. The village is a lovely stroll away and has a couple of well stocked supermarkets and restaurants although we did mostly go to Lidl at Rethymno (25 mins away by car) and the old town there in the evening or Bali (15 mins by car). We visited inland (a gorge and villages) as well as the coast. Melidoni caves are just up the road and worth a visit, as is Joanna's family's olive oil factory which is fascinating and she will happily show you around. They are such a hard working family. If we had to find any type of criticism, it might be that the bushes in the garden could do with being a little higher to give that added privacy from the road which although only a small road, was the main route to the caves and therefore you sometimes get a coach, quad bikes or tourist train trundle past in high season. Location was a little too far to visit Chania or the beaches of Balos or Elafonisi for us but you could do it. We will just make the excuse to come back to Crete again! Loved our stay and will never forget Joanna and her family. Be sure if you stay here to feed the beautiful cat who visits daily with her petite little squeak for food, nicknamed Thea by us (I suspect she may have a home but she likes the attention!). I had read about and been told about the Cretan hospitality and friendliness but its hard to believe its true until you experience it for yourself. It really is and its wonderful. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home from home villa xx

Summary: From the start the service that we received from Joanna was fantastic. We were welcomed with a delicious and satisfying hot meal, so welcome after a day of travelling. The villa was immaculate, a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle of life, but close enough to be able to walk to tavernas and shops. The gardens and pool were well maintained and the shallows that visited to drink from the pool were a constant source of fun. We had an amazing two weeks.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful villa. Can't fault it. The photos don't do it justice. Lovely peaceful location and views across the olive groves to snow capped mountains. The house is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Joanna was a perfect host greeting us with a home cooked meal as well as Easter treats throughout the week. Good central location within easy reach of North Coast towns and beaches, mountains, Knossos and the beautiful south coast. Didn't want to come home!

Summary: Truly amazing villa. Even better because of the hospitality shown to us by Joanna and her family. She has thought of everything to make it a home from home and still manages to find ways to add personal touches (from a welcome food hamper and evening meal on arrival to olive oil and raki on depature). She is truly skilled in the art of hosting guests and philoxenia (friend to the stranger). Only one change I would make, a mattress topper for those who like me, struggle with a bad back and then can opt for a less firm mattress. I would not hesitate in recommending the villa or Joanna's rental services. Thank you for creating and amazing place to create amazing memories.
