Holiday houses in Korfes

We came 5 people - my husband and I, with our 2 children and my mother-in-law. First of all, a few days before we arrived Elena (an amazing woman with a perfect english) contacted me and made sure she has all the details so she can prepare a perfect stay for us. The house was super clean and equipped, and the outside was the best! We spent hours in the pool enjoying the amazing nature around us. Elena and her husband Yiorgos are wonderful people - they were very kind, caring and responsive. We wish we could come again next summer 🙏🏻

We spent 14 nights at Samiro Home Villa. Evi was the perfect host, thoughtful, considerate and responded very quickly to all queries. Everything about the villa was clean and excellent. The grounds offered plenty of opportunities for both sun and shade and the gas barbecue made meals at home easy. Perched high up in the hills, the villa is peaceful and commands marvellous views over the mountains and countryside. It is located an easy 30 minute drive from the centre of Heraklion (recommend parking in the port area €3 all day) and around 45 minutes from the major archaeological sites at Gortys, Phaistos and Agia Triada.

I am beyond grateful for my time at the house. Niki is an incredible woman - experienced, excellent conversation, generous… Niki you are magic! The house is a very special space and I couldn’t recommend it enough if what you are looking for is tranquility, mystical nature, walking through the hills to visit other villages… I spent a month here alone, without a car, and I found everything I needed as I was looking for simplicity. The local shop in Pendamodi is only 15-20 minutes walking and stocks cheeses, tins, a good selection of carbohydrates, wine etc. Fruit and vegetables are in the city, but even by bus it is easy to do. I experimented with the buses and it seems it is most consistently arriving between 7:15am and 7:30am but recommend getting to the stop at 7:15 to be safe. The buses back from the city are 13:00 and 14:30 - it costs €2.20 per journey with cash (25 mins more or less) The village itself and the mountains are beyond incredible. Strongly recommend. I will return x x x

Excellent hosts, impeccable Hellenic hospitality.; warm, thoughtful, helpful, responsive and really wonderful family. We met all three generations - Evi, her father Iracles/Hercules and the grandfather. They were helpful and friendly beyond duty. We loved our time there, away from tourist spots in the quiet of the countryside, yet only 20 minutes from Heraklion town & airport. We went out most days to explore the north and the south. - but Crete is huge … ! The drive to the south coast over the mountains is beautiful. The local village restaurant - a couple minute’s drive / 5-7 minutes walk - is excellent with good vegetarian options. The morning mug of coffee, looking out at the range of sun bathed mountains over the olive groves, farms, the horse(s) in the far field below, and the the distant sea was always a wonderful start to the day. That’s a memory to savor. Thank you Evi and Iracles for a wonderful stay, for your kindness and warmth. God willing we’ll be back.

Unique stone house in a beautiful location.

Loved it :) nice place if you want to chill!

Amazing place, nothing much to add, felt luxurious and the villa is equipped with everything you need. Would definitely return!

We traveled with friends and babies (a total of 4 adults and 2 babies (8&10 months old)) to the villa to Savas & Maria and the villa was fantastically beautiful (even more beautiful than in the photos)! For our tour group, the villa was just perfect, we had our peace, could relax and the children had enough space to play on the giant terrace. Savas & Maria kindly provided everything necessary for our kids (crib, baby chairs, a small inflatable pool and plenty of toys). Cleanliness is very important in the villa, the villa was handed over to us in perfect condition! The villa was rounded off in the evening by the overwhelming sunsets! Savas & Maria were extremely communicative, gave us great recommendations and were always available! We would like to express our sincere thanks again for your warmth, hospitality and a fantastic stay! If we come back to Crete, we'll come back to you!
