We liked everything!!

Petronila Villa is perfect! We were 9 altogether, 6 adults and 3 children and the villa was so comfortable and spacious for us all. We were influenced to book this villa by the superb reviews and it certainly did not disappoint. The villa was spotlessly clean and well equipped. There was ample crockery in the house and in the outside kitchen too, where we particularly enjoyed eating. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels for indoors as well as for the beach and the pol. The pool area is beautifully clean and well maintained, with plenty of beds and sun and shade as desired. The pool is a good size and it was hard to get the children out to explore the beaches! The villa is in a peaceful location, secluded and private, but not remote. It is surrounded by olive groves . There are views from each balcony and picture perfect views of the mountains from the lounge windows. It’s a really quick few minutes drive to Kissamos and took about 13 minutes to walk. Special mention has to be made of the host, Kostas. When we arrived we found plenty of provisions to start our holiday so no need to rush to the supermarket. The cupboards and fridge were stocked and he had kindly thought of items the children would like as well as the adults, The honey was amazing! Kostas also kindly gave us some olive oil to bring home and on our last morning provisions for the journey which we certainly appreciated. Kostas was very attentive and swift to answer messages but never intrusive. We all would highly recommend this lovely villa. ❤️

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Petronila Luxury villa! The hosts Kostas and his family were incredibly polite, kind, and welcoming – they truly made us feel at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious cretan homemade food they prepared for us, which added such a special, personal touch to the experience. The villa itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained – everything was tidy, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and unwind. Highly recommended, and we would love to return!

Nothing!

Spacious and well equipped villa nestled in a quiet olive grove. Good sized pool and garden with the addition of a large pool house for outside dining. Our host Kostas, together with his family made us feel very welcome and was available to help or answer any questions. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A Dream Holiday at Petronella Villa Petronella Villa is the perfect getaway—whether you're on a family holiday or a peaceful solo retreat. Nestled in nature and far from the crowds, it's incredibly quiet, with only the sounds of animals and the scent of herbs in the air. The house is spotless and fully equipped with everything you might need. We were warmly welcomed by the wonderful owner, Kostas, who treated us to fresh fruits, vegetables from his garden and of course local wine and raki. The villa also has two friendly cats that kept our kids company all day—a lovely bonus for animal lovers! Every window offers a stunning view, and the area is safe, serene, and full of kind, helpful locals. The nearby restaurants serve amazing food at very affordable prices, and if you're looking for adventure, Kissamos has plenty to offer. Truly a magical place to relax and recharge. We will be definitely back there again.

Nothing. The house was perfect.

Perfect location, in a quiet olive grove, with amazing pool and everything you need for an extended stay. The house is well set up to work remotely from if you need a desk and space for quiet work. The nearby town of Kissamos has plenty of shops and restaurants and all of the attractions of Western Crete are only a short drive away. Kostas was an unbelievably welcoming and generous host and looked after our every need. We would definitely stay again.

Everything was perfect.. literally not one negative thing we could say 😊

Petronila is a sensational villa. Kostas was the perfect host, always available to help if we needed it and he kept the fridge stocked with local wine, fresh vegetables and eggs from his farm. The villa was spotless, perfectly maintained and had a brilliant pool house where we spent a lot of our time. I couldn't express enough how much we loved our time in Crete and our stay in Kissamos at Petronila. Thankyou Kostas! We will be back 🙏

only thing I would suggest is a bit of an information pack in the villa, to state things like the wifi password in case people forget and advice on which local restaurants are good :)

amazing villa, lovely pool, nice area, walkable distance to kissamos but you probably want a car to go anywhere else. kostas was lovely, filling the fridge with essentials such as eggs and fruit and was really helpful whenever I messaged (couldn’t get hot water to work but was a simple fix) would recommend this villa to anyone

Honestly, nothing at all. The kitchen is well equipped, the villa is spotless, there's a washing machine which is super handy.

What can I say. This is going to be a long list. Kostas was a fabulous host. He took the legendary Cretan hospitality to a whole new level. He met me on arrival along with his daughter (who spoke even better English) and went through everything with the villa. The fridge was stocked with food and drinks (including wine and beer) and food parcels were dropped off and left on the gate throughout my stay (what a lovely touch). The villa was fantastic, even in December. I stayed 13 nights and had to put the heating on (which worked great) and the villa is well equipped. There's space for one car under the porch canopy and one space opposite in the paddock. The is an electric gate which closes to keep your car safe but honestly, this villa is in the middle of an olive grove paddock and is on its own and it totally private and has excellent views of the sea in the distance. The WIFI is great. No issues with it whatsoever (thankfully as I had to work while I stayed there editing photos etc). The pool look stunning but I did not have it heated (an extra 50 EUR a day) so I never used it but it looks great plus there's a small glass building in the garden for family gatherings including a BBQ, heating, a large table and chairs etc. Looks great. This is a gorgeous villa and I look forward to staying there again in the future. Thanks to Kostas and his family for being such great hosts (and prompt communication too with him).

You need a car to get to the apartment.

Nothing.

The beds are really comfortable, the is airconditioning in every room, two bathrooms and nice marble on the floor (with a nice fireplace for the winter). And than there is the great swimming pool, sun-beds and a outdoor dinning-area with a BBQ (gas) to enjoy in the evening.
