Hospitality plus
The property was lovely. The family greeted us And sent us off. They were so very kind and generous. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. It was a little hard getting used to european plumbing, but other than that it was perfect. Highly reccommend.

Villa Acorn - vi kommer gärna tillbaka!
Helt fenomenal upplevelse! Vi var tre familjer (6 vuxna, 4 barn) som spenderade en vecka i denna underbara villa. Upplevde stället som ännu bättre än vad bilderna kanske visar. Poolhuset (med extra kyl+frys) och grillarna användes verkligen. Poolen ej uppvärmd men det behövdes verkligen inte (var ca 25 grader på mornarna och 28 på eftermiddagarna). Stora utomhusterrasser med stort bord på hjul som gör att man kan sitta där man behagar. Mycket vacker utsikt över berg och hav. Villan inbäddad i grönska. Ett stort plus var mottagandet där vi bjöds på varm, hemlagad mat, välkomstkorg med frukt, kakor, lite sötsaker till barnen. Mitt i veckan städades villan och då hade Emmas (ägarens) mamma Afrodite bakat supergoda fetaostknyten mm. Vid avresa fick samtliga familjer en egen liten presentpåse med klubbor till barnen, lite lokal dryck samt en fin mugg med Villa Acorn som motiv. Vi fick alltid snabb hjälp om vi önskade eller frågade om något. Rekommenderar denna villa varmt och tänker att man mer än gärna kommer tillbaka!

Fantastic Stay in Crete
The villa was absolutely fantastic - the photos don’t do justice to the inside and beautiful outdoor space. It was perfect for us with young children. The hosts were so welcoming. Etouri were great and made an excellent hire car recommendation and communicated really well with us before and during our stay. Highly recommended and would definitely visit again!
