Hallo Niko, vielen Dank für die netten 6 Tage in Villa Medusa. Nette, kleine Anlage, gut gepflegt, sauberer Pool, sehr freundlicher Umgang. Das Zimmer und die überdachte Terrasse sowie die Aufenthalte am Pool waren Grundlage für schöne Tage und wir beabsichtigen, nächstes Jahr (dann aber für länger) wiederzukommen. Wir melden uns dann.

Villa Medusa is perfect, Nikos the owner is lovely. 5 minute walk to the old village square, the food in the square is very traditional is good value, if you are there on a Monday it’s greek night if you want to eat a decent restaurant you will need to book 2 days in advance.

Auf Kreta zentral an der Nordküste gelegen und verkehrsgünstig angebunden; perfekt für Ausflüge mit dem Auto. Diverse Tavernen im Ortszentrum sind fußläufig in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Zimmer sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und sehr sauber und werden täglich gereinigt. Pool ist mit moderner Filteranlage ausgestattet und ebenfalls sehr sauber. Für die Selbstversorgung stehen Kühlschrank, Herd, Wasserkocher, Kaffeemaschine und entsprechendes Kochgeschirr bereit. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, sodass man viel zu lange schläft. Nikos ist meist immer anwesend und bei Fragen immer sehr hilfsbereit und spricht auch englisch und deutsch. Die Anlage ist angenehm klein gehalten, perfekt zum Entspannen und Relaxen

Uitmuntende accommodatie
Ontvangst was bijzonder vriendelijk door de eigenaar Nikos. Er stond al een lekkere koele fles water klaar en alvast de mogelijkheid om een heerlijk kopje koffie te zetten. Fantastische bedden en douche "wauw", zelf met een massagekop. Ook de schoonmaak van het appartement was geweldig, door de lieve en behulpzame Heleni. We hebben onze vakantie daar in rust doorgebracht, wat ook hoog in het vaandel staat bij de eigenaar. We al In het kort gezegd "voor iedereen aan te bevelen".

Really good
Overall a really good stay Nikos the owner is always there if you need help which we did on a couple of occasions one occasion in particular when my daughters room had no electricity within half an hour nikos had an electrician on site to sort the issue out and it was resolved very promptly. The location of the villa is quite rural but 600m from hersonisoss village with all the traditional tavernas which produced some amazing cuisine.

Ruhiges Haus mit familiärer Atmosphäre
Wir wurden von Nikos sehr freundlich empfangen und konnten uns ein Apartment aussuchen. Der Wunsch nach einer kleinen Kaffeemaschine wurde sofort erfüllt und zum Frühstück brachte uns Nikos noch Honig und frische Feigen. Der Pool war, wie die gesamte Anlage sehr sauber. Insgesamt eher einfacher Standard, aber für uns genau richtig und wie beschrieben.

Cute little hotel, bit remote
Very nice hotel, we arrived late but the owner kindly left us a note and keys, room was up graded free of charge to a bigger sea view room due to our other room having a trchnical issue. Met the owner in the morning, very nice guy, very informative. The hotel was a bit remote with the only public bus station being a 30 minute walk away down a 60 road, the local town was very cute and had a shop near buy, the room was big and clean, bathroom a bit dated but definitely worth the price we paid!

Amazing villa in the village
The first day we arrived very late due to delay, and we informed Nikos which was kind enough to wait for us. The next day we woke up with an amazing view of the villages and the sea. We then went quickly in the pool -and gt a little tan. The villa is close to the old hersonissos village which has amazing restaurants!! Villa Medusa is very clean, everyday the bed was made, floor was cleaned, towels. It has a fridge for your food and water,(even ice) The showers are clean and new and nice and warm water. The beds sleep amazing, which is perfect after a long day exploring Crete. Nikos(the owner) is very very nice, superfriendly and makes a chat with you and everyone everyday. Which makes it a very special stay in villa medusa.. We will come back for sure. Jurrian & Nicole(Chile)

Villa Medusa en perle på Kreta
Et helt igennem fantastisk sted. En sød rar og imødekommende vært, der gør ALT for sine gæster. Det mest rene og komfortable hotel med daglig rengøring af værelser, skift af linned og håndklæder og et super rent poolområde og bassin. Skøn beliggenhed i det gamle Hersonissos. Fred og ro og alligevel masser af små tavernaer. Et yderst venligt og imødekommende lokalsamfund hvor man føler sig velkommen. Vi kan på det varmeste anbefale Villa Medusa og vender helt sikkert tilbage hertil.

Schijn bedriegt..............
Bij aankomst bin het appartement vond onze "gastheer" het niet nodig om zijn telefoon gesprek te beiindigen en liet ons een kleine 10 minuten wachten alvorens ons te woord te staan...... Na 3 dagen kwam hij naar ons toe en zei (niet vroeg) dat we van kamer moesten wisselen .Ik gaf aan even iets te moeten doen en dan zou ik naar hem toe komen om hierover te praten. Toen dit vervolgens naar zijn zin niet snel genoeg ging trok hij mijn reisgenote aan haar bovenarm mee richting receptie en brieste daar dat we de volgende dag naar een andere kamer moesten. In ons nieuwe appartement werden we binnen enkele uren verrast met stroom uitval die pas na 5 uur verholpen was, ook in dit appartement waren de matrassen super hard en ook hadden we hier niets meer om ons wasgoed op te hangen. Na meer als 30 jaar Griekenland/Kreta ervaring was dit de meest negatieve ervaring ooit!!! De gastheer lijkt klantvriendelijk maar schijn bedriegt! Wij zullen het in ieder geval zeker niemand aanbevelen......
