"Pros: Amazing! Excellent, and totally fantastic! There are not enough words to express how happy we were here for our 12 days in paradise. We wish we could have stayed forever! My husband and I have recently returned from Olenia. We had such a superb time. What a wonderful experience. The Villa was so clean and had everything we needed. It was spotless. Large space, lovely facilities. WiFi was fab, air conditioning too. Washing machine, dishwasher. Very comfortable. Lovely outdoor seating areas, sun loungers. The list goes on.. all fabulous. Wonderful sunrise, sunset available from the villa. The views are spectacular. The swimming pool is fantastic, as is all the wonderful outdoor private space. Fresh air, fabulous views all around of the sea, mountains and coastline. So peaceful and relaxing. We loved the outdoor BBQ grill for fresh fish and meat that we bought at the street market near Heraklion. Greek food, fresh fruit, and vegetables. The sunshines and everything tastes delicious! The location is perfect, with a short drive from the airport, and a great location to travel around. Great beaches all around and places to explore. The Villa is equipped with everything you need and more. The hosts have thought of everything. Made our stay fabulous. Perfect hosts, always there if you need anything, however so private. It's a huge area to enjoy together. Giannis and his family were so wonderfully friendly and kind, and they live downstairs. We miss them already. They never bother you. If you need them, they are there. Very professional. We were left with little gifts on our steps by our door after we returned from our days out! Cake, fresh eggs, food, and beautiful treats. Even on arrival, treats in the fridge. Homemade wine, juice, water, olive oil, and more. The extra special touches are appreciated highly! Fantastic Greek hospitality in its finest. Wonderful people. We totally recommend Olenia residence and wish we could give more than 10 stars!" ~Samantha

"Pros: The best hosts ever in a beautiful and spacious Villa in a great location. Easy drive from the airport, 10 minutes drive for groceries and the beach and there's even a local Taverna a few minutes down the road. There was enough room for our families to each have their own space but with plenty of common spaces to hang out together. The playroom is great for kids and adults alike. There's a big bbq/dining room/kitchen area which we enjoyed for most of our meals. The hosts are the best! The whole family was there to make a perfect stay for their guests. They were extremely accommodating with our early/late flight schedule, and communication before and during our stay was super-easy and always in good spirits. They kept spoiling us with fresh pastries, eggs, fruit and vegetables, and also made sure the common areas are kept clean throughout our stay. The views from the Villa are breathtaking - don't miss the sunrise and sunset over the mountains. Hopefully we can make it back one day!" ~Dan
