Holiday houses in Lyctus

Very good location standard amenities instead not very clean we had no hot water but we had some issues with the heat as well.

We enjoyed a very pleasant 12 days at Manos & Sofi’s house at the end of January. The weather was perfect with 17 degrees and sun every day. A bit chilly at night but the house has heat, and comfortable blankets. Communication was great from the beginning, and they gave us some excellent tips on places to eat. The house is beautiful with sea and mountain views, an olive grove, and chickens and cats roaming about. It was a perfect escape from the gloom of Germany at this time of year. You will almost certainly want to rent a car. There are a mini market and a few restaurants within walking distance, but most things were closed for the winter, and public transport isn’t running regularly. We were able to get a small car from Hertz at the airport for about €20 / day.

Great location situated between the lively Chersonissos and the more quiet Koutouloufari. Best place to relax with your privat pool, and the best host Izabela.

We had a wonderful vacation here. The villa is just lovely. The pool amazing and great amenities. A lovely welcome fridge and toiletries, there is nothing you could want. Attention to detail is great. They clean the villa every other day, checking first if convenient. I have never spent time in such a clean villa. Also, I had a special request for a shower seat, Domitrios sorted this out for me, with no problems. If we needed any assistance, either Nicky or Domitrios, responded exceptionally quickly. I highly recommend this place for a vacation. It’s great for beaches, eating out and a lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful villa, with kind and dependable hosts. Many thanks

Very nice villa, very functional and well located in relation to the beach, restaurants and village supermarket. Please note that only one of the two bedrooms is air-conditioned.

Our stay was absolutely amazing, we had a delayed flight so Giorgos gave us very clear instructions of how to get to the property and how to check ourselves in The villa is in a very peaceful village amongst the mountains and there is a very friendly neighbour next door who kindly offered us his vegetables and invited us to the nearby tavern The villa itself was spotless and matches the pictures exactly, all expected amenities are provided. The kitchen (outside and inside) was equipped with everything you could need There is a supermarket at the bottom of the hill that is excellent for everything you might need Giorgos was very responsive with any queries we had and it was no trouble getting hold of him whenever we needed him Would definitely recommend if staying at this property that you get a hire car, as it is in the tops of the mountains and a taxi to the airport was €35 and to the bottom of the hill roughly €10-€20

The place is fantastic, and just like in the photos - a villa in the mountains with a beautiful view, in great condition with plenty of amenities, everything was clean and design was tasteful and spacious. It's just a 15 minute drive to Heraklion or 5 minutes to the closest convenience store, and Theo was incredibly helpful, form navigating us to the area to helping us make dinner reservations to some restaurants, and was always available. Perfect location, perfect service. Miss that place already!

We had a super time with Stefani and Antonis. The villa is super, the pool was warm, the area quiet, and the view down to Herssonios and out right to the mountains was lovely. We chose it because it was walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The village is lovely and a short 5-10min walk from the villa. We were at the very end of the season, so many of the restaurants in the village closed, but we always found somewhere to eat. Herssonios is a longer walk away (maybe 30 mins) and has supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants galore, even after the season ended. We found the walk downhill to the town, and back uphill to the village fine, even with 2 kids. Herssonios itself didn’t hold much charm for us, but we found a taxi to Agios Nikolas (delightful), Heraklion’s museum (more engaging for us than the Athens archeological museum), and Rethimno (lovely old town, laneway cafes, long stretch of beach) filled enough of our days. And with a heated pool to return to, no complaints.
