Private! Away from tourist areas! Petros, Petros, Petros!!! Huge amount of space! The best equipped self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in! Home from home! You will require a car to do basic things like grocery shopping and getting to and from the airport, but after that you will find it extremely hard to leave the house as it's seriously comfortable, very well equipped and a total oasis! Petros is an amazing host and now considered a friend of ours, from meeting us at the airport and helping us locate our hire car, providing directions to buy groceries after we arrived on a Sunday when all the supermarkets are closed, providing the most amazing restaurant recommendations (the type that only locals know about) and assisting us with various items when our daughter fractured her foot! Petros was a god send in moments when we needed help, he clearly loves looking after his guests, but he does it in such a respectful way as not to interfer or intrude on your holiday, if anything is needed Petros is only a WhatsApp away! Now the villa, to call it a villa is an understatement, it's more of an executive house! The house totally blew me away when we arrived, it is just as you imagine it would be by the photos! The pool kitchen is the most well equipped kitchen we have ever had in a self catering accommodation, it felt like a home from home! The main house is huge, and beautifully decorated and everything was spotlessly clean. The garden is landscaped well kept, there's a undercover carport and once the electric gates close you have total privacy and security. The welcome baskets of food, fruit and juice was a lovely touch as it provided breakfast and snaks for a few days. A cleaning lady comes every 3/4 days, which was very welcomed as there's nothing better than a sparkling clean house with fresh towels and beautifully made beds with crisp clean linen.

We stayed at the Villa for 2 weeks. What a lovely place; even better than on pictures!! Fully equipped with plenty of place that can easily fit 6 adults, with 3 spacious rooms with highly comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms + laundry area. The place is extremely clean and very well maintained. It is located in a very quite location (car, bike or taxi needed) with 2 taverna located at walking distance; airport located at 15 minutes driving distance, Heraklion at 10'. Shopping area with several food stores, general retail shops and take-away restaurants on main road in between the Villa and the city. We especially enjoyed the garden kitchen located on the large terrace at pool side including fully equipped kitchen, dining and living room; area where we spent most of our time relaxing after visiting the region which is full of canyons, historical places offering plenty of opportunities to walk around. Petros (the owner) is fantastic, service minded without being intrusive. Thank you Petros, you made our stay memorable!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left Petros and his villa were incredible and surpassed all of our expectations by a long way. We were greeted by Petros at the airport (in the early hours) along with the car hire company which Petros had kindly arranged prior to our arrival. We followed Petros back to the villa which is extremely conveniently located and only a 15 minute drive from the airport. En-route Petros pointed out local places of interest and even stopped to check what time the supermarket would be open the following day. After a short drive through a small peaceful village we arrived at the villa. Although we expected the villa to be amazing we were all taken aback by just how amazing it really was. This is the first place we have been where it is better in reality than the photos! Everything was perfect, of an incredibly high standard and impeccably clean. This property is without question a 5 star plus property, everything is faultless. As for Petros....WOW!!! Other than being a genuine, wonderful, kind (and funny!) gentlemen you simply could not expect anymore from a host. He truly went above and behind to ensure that every part of our holiday was perfect. Petros checked in daily with the useful phone he provided without being intrusive. He was always there for us but also very aware not to disrupt our privacy. He made some fantastic recommendations of places to eat and visit and even accompanied me on an unexpected trip to the hospital. Petros' knowledge of Crete ensured that we got the very most out of our holiday. The lovely cleaner came three times in our two week stay, was unobtrusive and did a fantastic thorough clean including fresh towels and sheets. Villa Evergreen provided a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy quality family time and our two children loved the swimming pool, secluded gardens and pool table. The location of the villa is perfect. We made many trips around the whole island and the central location of the villa proved ideal. We cannot rate Villa Evergreen or Petros highly enough and would 100% recommend to anymore wanting to visit Crete. Our wonderful holiday was made truly amazing by Petros and Villa Evergreen. We will be returning!!!

The house is the same than the pictures. Petros was always available and he helped us with questions and recommendations. He has a very very nice home and we were very comfortable and enjoyed with his swimming pool and barbacue. All space were very clean and we Would repeat again. Petros is the best host.

Book it now and read the rest of this review later! When we saw the photos we had to double check to make sure the whole house and pool house were included in the listing and not shared. It seemed too good to be true at that price but indeed it is all included! It’s a great place for a great price and it’s the first Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at where I could truthfully check every box when doing the review (outstanding hospitality, amazing amenities, quick responses, thoughtful touches, stylish space, sparkling clean, and local tips). Everything is as good as it looks in the photos or better, I can not recommend it enough!

At our arrival, Petros was waiting for us at Avis rental car at the airport and we follow him to the villa. The house was exactly like the photo.
He give us a nice address where to go eat by the ocean and send us a link to access a grocery open up to 11 P.M.
Petros was always available to reply to all our message and help us with suggestion and very nice place where to go during our 7 nights stay.
We also received a welcome basket with snack at our arrival, that was appreciated after Our trip from Athens.
We also find a lot of lemon at the villa that we use every day in our water.
That villa is very big and very clean. Do not hesitate to rent it, you won’t be desappointed.
Thank you Petros, it was a pleasure to rent your villa, I will recommand it to my friend who want to go to Crête for vacation.

Just Heaven. Beautiful Villa, Spotlessly Clean Quality Furnishing with every amenity you would need. We spent most of our time outside around the pool & with the outside Kitchen dinning area we had everything at hand. So Relaxing.So Private so Beautiful. Petros could not do enough for us. Meeting us late at night at the airport & arranging our Transfer & introducing us to Angelo who drove us around most evenings & this made our holiday Stress free as we didn’t want to hire a car. Petros set me up on what’s app & We kept contact & his suggestions for places to go & eat where first class. Heraklion is a fantastic place with great choices of bars & places to eat. Please when you are there try a local restaurant a short walk from the Villa owned by Anna & Stavro. So friendly Great Food wine & Great value for money. Overall it was one of the Best Holidays we have ever had. Well Done Petros & Thank you for your Hospitality through out our Holiday the Villa & your help was Faultless.

Luxury accommodation of the highest standard. Close enough to Heraklion and its sights, but rural enough for privacy and seclusion. Next door to a traditional taverna with really friendly locals. Best of all.. our host Petros. The man can’t do enough to make the best of your vacation, what a star!

The villa was perfect and the host, Petros, was very welcoming and helpful. The place is incredibly spacious and well equipped - large rooms, beautiful swimming pool with a wide garden next to it, fully equipped kitchen both in the spacious living room floor as well as in the cabin that's next to the pool. The 3 bathrooms are also large and in great shape. The second floor has balconies with great view of Heraklion and of the entire coastline. There's lots of private parking space, with a remote-controlled garage door as an extra perk. Everything all around the villa was very clean and new. When we just got to the place Petros, the owner, showed us around and we were welcomed with fresh groceries and snacks that waited for us as an extra treat. Throughout our stay Petros was attentive to our needs and very helpful.

A beautiful house with an outstanding host. He picked us up from the airport, helped us get to the house, showed us around, answered our calls and messages right away, provided us with additional towels right away, and was very kind and helpful. He made our trip to Crete incredible. Definitely would recommend him. Thank you again Petros!

Hi Petros....just want to thank you for making our holiday so magical. From meeting us off the ferry, guiding us back to the villa, then to the nearest supermarket & even being on hand 24hrs a day to answer any queries we had about the local area, places to eat & things to do, you were always there to help. A fantastic host from beginning to end. The lovely welcome hamper you left with local wine, snacks, tea, coffee, fruit & even local olive oil was a lovely gesture & just what we needed after a long journey. The villa was just perfect & surpassed all of our expectations. Absolutely spotless & had everything we could have ever needed.....and more. Was even better than the photos & the photos are simply stunning. So glad we chose to stay at your villa. As a budding cook, the outdoor kitchen area was what dreams are made of. BBQ, wood fired pizza oven....everything you could ever need for al fresco dining, which was perfect while we all chilled by the pool. The location was great for us. Slightly out of the hustle & bustle of the city, but just a short 10 minute drive into the centre, which aside of 1 turn was just a straight road in to the city which made finding things really easy. The villa is also just 2 minutes from the main roads east & west so perfect for exploring the rest of the island. All in all a fantastic experience & we can't thank you enough for making it so special. We'll definitely be back to Villa Evergreen soon. We've still got plenty of exploring beautiful Crete to do :)

Von der ersten Minute an wurden wir excellent betreut. Petros holte uns am Flughafen ab und führte uns in die Villa. Dies ist wichtig, da der Verkehr in Heraklion äußerst gewöhnungsbedürftig ist und meist keine lateinischen Schriftzeichen vorhanden sind. Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen, mit Blick über die Stadt auf das Meer. Ein für Kreta ungewöhnlich üppiger Garten bietet kompletten Sichtschutz und erfreut das Auge. Die Schlafzimmer sind geschmackvoll gestaltet, bieten sehr bequeme Betten mit Unmengen von Kissen und Direktzugang zum Außenbereich, der vom Pool und Poolhaus dominiert wird. Im Poolhaus erwartete uns ein riesiges Präsent bestehend aus Obst, Knabberzeug, Öl, Honig, Getränken und Süßigkeiten. Was für eine tolle Überraschung! Ein Iphone mit Notfallnummern stand zu unserer Verfügung, eine prima Idee, die auch benutzt wurde. Als wir uns verfahren hatten konnten wir Petros kontaktieren und er war innerhalb von 10 Minuten da! Die Technik im Haus ist sehr durchdacht, WLAN funktioniert besser und schneller als in Deutschland. Herzlichen Dank an die Mom von Petros. Eine köstliche Musaka bereicherte unseren Menuplan. Vielen Dank auch an Rena, die eine Putzperle ist und verantwortlich für die makellose Sauberkeit. Und natürlich ganz speziellen Dank an Petros. Der perfekte Gastgeber, dem es Freude macht die Gäste zu verwöhnen.

The Villa was everything we could have hoped for clean, spacious and well designed with a gorgeous enclosed garden and lovely pool that wasn't too deep. It was absolutely perfect for our family. We spent most of our time in the poolside room which was so well equipped there was no need to cook in the main kitchen.
The owner Petros went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
He was absolutely brilliant. He was ready to answer any questions that we had. He gave us suggestions of places to eat, where to buy local food and what beaches to visit. Even escorting us to the hospital when our son cut his finger. He was amazing and we were hugely grateful. We will most certainly return.

Hallo. Wir haben in der Villa zwei Wochen mit 3 Pärchen verbracht. Die Villa liegt auf einem Hügel über Heraklion inmitten eines Olivenbaumheines. Die Räume sind dehr modern und durchdacht designt. Das Poolhaus war im Prinzip unser Wohnzimmer. Wir haben jede freie Minute wo wir Zuhause waren draußen am Pool verbracht. Sehr gute Strände sind in 15 Minuten per Auto erreichbar. Aber der größte Mehrwert des Hauses ist der Superhost Petros, der sich um alles kümmert und kein Wunsch offen hält. Ob es Strandempfehlungen sind, Autoanmietung, Restaurantreservierung, Shoppingmöglichkeiten...Petros kümmert sich um alles, ist wirklich ein Engel und man fählt sich immer umsorgt und gut aufgehoben. Ein unvergesslicher Urlaub mit Wiederholungswert.

The villa is really amazing and wonderful. It is spotless clean and has more than you would wish for! The beds are perfect, the space around the house is amazing, the outdoor kitchen has really everything you need! Swimming pool is great also, sunbeds, outdoor table, extra lounch seats… I want to go back :) Petros is an amazing host!!!!!He is really kind and helpful, he will help you with everything what you want! I highly recommend this villa!!
