Absolutely incredible!
Property was just as described but even better. Recently refreshed and updated and just gorgeous. Phenomenal outdoor spaces for fun. Every amenity you could ask for. Owner was hugely helpful and responsive and went out of his way to ensure we had the best trip. We won’t stay anywhere else if we can get back to Crete. The Villa is perfect for large groups and family. Stay here - you won’t regret it

Chilled, beautiful stay at Golden Hill
I stayed with a group of friends for my 30th birthday and we all had an absolute fantastic time both at the villa and in Chania. The property and view is indescribable and at a very affordable price. The location was also excellent, with it only being a c. 25 minute drive into Chania old town (taxis very easy to book). The owner and holiday agents were also very attentive and helped us with anything we needed with a good list of recommendations during our stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend.

Entspannter Urlaub
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in der Villa. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Der Einsatz des Vermieters -sei es durch Tipps für die Freizeitgestaltung, schnelle Reaktion bei Kleinigkeiten oder der Versorgung mit frischem Obst - war grandios!

Voll und ganz zufrieden
Sehr empfehlenswert für Erholung aber auch um etwas lauter zu sein, da die Villa nicht unmittelbar von Nachbarn umgeben ist. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Villa ist ein Traum und genau so toll wie sie beschrieben wurde. Geputzt wurde alle 3 Tage und dies sehr sehr genau und gut. In 15 Minuten mit dem Auto kann eingekauft werden und in 25 Minuten erreicht man das Meer. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön von der Villa aus, Sonnenaufgang sowie Sonnenuntergänge sind auf dem Hügel schön zu sehen. Die Agentur war bei Problemen rund um die Uhr für uns da. Danke für alles, wir haben es sehr genossen und würden die Villa immer wieder buchen.

Ein goldener Traum
Wir haben 3 Wochen in der Villa verbracht. Es war alles perfekt! Mehr geht eigentlich nicht. Die Jahre davor in verschiedenen Villen fehlte immer irgendwas. Sei in der Küche, sei es an Gartenmöbeln, sei es an Sauberkeit und an der Verfügbarkeit der Ansprechpartner. In Golden Hill war alles perfekt. Die Lage ist einmalig. Mann hat einen schönen Überblick über Chania und einen fantastischen Sonnenuntergang. Die Fahrt nach Chania selbst dauert auch nur 20 min. Die Betreuung durch Kostas war super und seine nette MAMA hat uns regelmäßig mit frischen Obst versorgt: Lieben Dank! Wir können diese Top Villa nur weiter empfehlen und natürlich Kreta als top Reiseziel auch.
