Just amazing...
We have spent about 2 weeks and this has been quite an experience. The house is super comfortable, very clean and very well equipped. The view on the valley is just stunning. The house is in the middle of nature, so in a very quite and beautiful place, but at the same time close to the very lively and picturesque village of Kandanos. You can also reach quite easily (20-25 min by car) the beaches of Palaiochora and Grammeno for example. Evridiki, the owner, is more than very helpful. She can answer any kind of question almost in real time... ranging from the best restaurants in the surroundings to the hikes you can make around. In summary, we just would like to go back to this marvelous place.

A beatiful and functional house in a wonderful natural environment.
We loved our time at AORI hillside villa. The house is well-equipped with a fully equipped kitchen, and enough seating for many persons to eat. It is beautifully designed with French doors to balconies outside all the bedrooms and the living room, on which you can enjoy a fresh breeze through the valley and the view to the beautiful green and lush valley with olive orchards and woods. The beds are super comfortable and the living room has comfortable sofas. Within a 20-30 minute drive, you reach lonely beaches and great hikes.

Comfortable vacation villa in beautiful nature
We spent a fortnight vacation time in September 2016 in AORI hillside villa. The holiday villa is located in a beautiful lonely mountainous landscape. Surrounded by purely nature there is an entire quiet atmosphere. Designed and equipped with comfortable furniture and technical facilities the villa met completely our demands. Welcome and extraordinary hospitality and care during our stay by Anastasia and Vassilis was appreciated and needs to be emphasized. The picturesque and green Western region of Crete provided an multitude of leisure and excursion possibilities . AORI Villa can be highly recommended. Anastasia and Vassilis, let us thank you again.
