A perfect little Haven in a mad world
Hersonissos in Crete is an area renowned for noisy Brits and many other nationals letting their hair down. Water Parks, Bungie Jumps, Go Karting and mad entertainment rule.
But just a few hundred metres away from the main road and all this mayhem lies the tranquil and beautiful Villa Vicky.
The grounds are a paradise of lush planting, the swimming pools are perfect for adults and children with a restaurant and bar set back discretely from the sun bathing terraces.
The minute you enter the gates you feel a calmness not found in many areas of the world.
The family run and beautifully tended apartments are stylish but subtle at the same time. You never fell any pressure to do anything you do not want to.
The staff were all more helpful and charming than I have found in a long time.
I do not speak Greek but was able to make myself understood with no problem. The majority of the guests are either Dutch or Scandinavian and they were all well behaved. Children were looked after by caring parents.
For a man who dislikes sunbathing and prefers action this was the perfect antidote for a manic working period.
Walking alone in the early hours or working in my room all was calm and the perfect place to take stock and recharge.
Thank you for a truly brilliant experience.

Best charter for value!
It was a family hotel! Many returning guests and it was quiet and pleasant even though it was close to the heart of the city. The staff were really nice and we really only have positive feedback. We don't usually want to go back to destinations, but we would love to return here!

Familiar and nice hotel
Cosiest and most relaxing stay. Really familiar and such great hostess.
Everything is so good and we love to come here again and again.
Enjoyable relaxing stay overall
Arrived to an immaculately clean apartment with beautiful views over the pool / trees / mountains
Balcony was lovely to sit on and got the sun each morning, so cool on afternoons
Staff were pleasant, polite and friendly and welcoming everyday, always chatty
Check in simple and quick, even helped with bags which was very much appreciated after a long day travelling Small issue with cracked cup and leaky kettle was resolved quickly within minutes - brand new kettle was received
Bathroom was spacious, lots of storage and hooks - very well kept, although shower head had to be held (grip / hook was broken) and although small was functional and plenty of hot water each day
A very calm, well maintained location overall a pleasure to stay - loved the gardens, olive and pomegranate trees all around the site were delightful - lovely gardens which are well kept and pretty throughout
Pool bar was good, nice menu to choose from and comfy seats around pool to sit at - drinks were cold, plentiful and much needed
Spar shop 5-10 mins walk, had everything could need Short walk to beach, or local restaurants and bars within 10 mins walk- lots of choice to pick all manner of cuisines

A lovely resort.
Very nice, cosy and spotless little resort with a pool, lovely gardens and very nice accomodation, ours with a lovely little terrace onto the garden, pity we could only stay one night, we recommend it. Vicky is a very agreeable and hospitable host.
