Villa Lucy

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa, which is perfectly located for exploring western Crete. Nestled among olive groves, it offers a real sense of privacy and tranquillity while being just a two-minute drive from the lively restaurants, shops, and atmosphere of Platanias.

The villa is exceptionally well equipped and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy. The garden is a particular highlight, filled with a variety of fruit trees and herbs that guests can enjoy during their stay. The pool and patio area are perfect for lounging, dining, and taking in the stunning panoramic views and spectacular sunsets, ideally with a glass of local rosé in hand.

What truly sets this property apart is its combination of seclusion and convenience. Turn left out of the driveway and the magnificent White Mountains are just 15-20 minutes away. Turn right and you'll find some of Crete's beautiful beaches, with the nearest only five minutes away and many of the island's best beaches within easy reach.
The villa is much bigger than the photos show and there is plenty of space for a large family. The grounds are large and beautifully presented. The villa itself has lots of little areas and things to enjoy, such as a hammock, table tennis, pool, dual balconies/patios to eat on and areas to seat and relax around the grounds.
The villa also benefits from a range of modern amenities, and the owner is both responsive and helpful, providing excellent support whenever questions arose.

Overall, this is an outstanding villa in a fantastic location, offering the perfect balance of relaxation, privacy, and easy access to everything western Crete has to offer. We would highly recommend it and would happily return.

Thank you Michael for a lovely stay.

Belle villa avec piscine au calme et avec vue montagne et petite vue mer tout en étant proche de la station balnéaire de Platanias et à 15 minutes de La Canée.

Paradise on earth. A beautiful spotless Villa that is so well looked after and clearly a labour of love from the owners. Every little detail throughout had been well considered, all items are to the highest standard.
Water tap by the kitchen sink and on the fridge has filtered water. Window blind in bedrooms operated by the Somfy remote.
The villa offers amazing privacy. Situated on a hilltop location overlooking the beautiful valley and sea of Crete. Breathtaking.
Mike and Lucy are extremely kind, going out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We found the house stocked with all the basics and a very well equipped kitchen.
A welcome note with basic instructions and a guide to western coast is available.
Perfect location to explore Crete: Platanias with sandy beach, shops, supermarket, restaurants, bakery etc 5 min drive, Chania 15 min drive.

Excellent

The place is amazing with great views of both sea and mountains, with all the possible comforts.
Lucy and Mike are very special guests. We really enjoyed the two weeks spent there.

A fabulous late-October stay - genuinely can't find fault! Wonderful views, deep sleeps and comfort inside and out. Great location - offers a sense of calm isolation, but within easy reach of amenities in Platanias and the many delights of Western Crete, which we selected from the owners' excellent guide. Loved the local Taverna a short walk up the lane. Would return in a heartbeat!

Great experience overall. Five stars. The villa and the property around are stunningly beautiful. Plus and this is a very important plus the owner Michael is a kind, helpful and pleasant person ready to resolve any issue if necessary. Spacious rooms and bedrooms each with views of surrounding mountains and valleys, modern and elegantly decorated with light colors and simple items, beautiful terrace with both a dining table and a coffee table, small and nicely shaped pool, many flowers , plants all around, olive trees few of them with a spot light that are a pleasure to watch at night. All showing a very high standard indeed. Small items to improve: pool towels were not of the same standard as the rest of the villa. Some kitchenware (ex. pans) was not found super clean, in a very beautiful kitchen that indeed is full of useful and modern appliances. Finally one suggestion to Michael: if there were a way to open the gate at the bottom of the steep driveway it would avoid stopping in front of it while climbing up by car, and secondly an automatic gate closing when leaving the property would also avoid stopping each time you exit. Final comment: such a beautiful experience that we already miss it.

The owner of the Villa Michael and his wife were very welcoming and supportive. The Villa is well equipped. We were a family of 8 and it is perfect. Enough privacy and the rooms are lovely. The decorations are beautiful the garden is amazing. The Villa is on top of the hill surrounded by nature and with a view to the distant sea. Nice pool to hang around. We could say that it is better than the pictures
