Our guests' experiences

Villa Petra

Liebe Helga,
lieber Josef,

Wir waren ja gerade im Juni 2024 in der Villa Petra bei Euch im Urlaub auf Kreta. Als Erstes möchten wir Beide und unsere Mitreisenden Gerd, Wilma und Edith, uns von ganzem Herzen für diesen wundervollen Urlaub bedanken.
Wir waren nun das zweite Mal euer Gast in dieser Villa, einem fast paradiesischem Ort mit einem wunderschönen Ausblick und Ambiente. Ihr Beide kümmert euch persönlich ganz rührend um eure Gäste mit viel Freundlichkeit, Herzlichkeit und Humor, und einem tollen Service. Einfach das rundum "Wohlfühlpaket" schlechthin.
Besonders zu erwähnen ist eure in der Villa bereit gelegte Urlaubsmappe, der man allerlei zusätzlichen Service und auch Ausflugstipps, Restauranttipps usw... entnehmen kann. Alle Tipps die wir ausprobiert haben, waren einfach Klasse.
Auch eure Zusammenarbeit mit der Mietwagenfirma beim Flughafen Heraklion klappt ausgezeichnet. Kurzum wir werden nächstes Jahr gerne wieder Urlaub in einer eurer Villen machen.
Überhaupt diese komfortable, individuelle und unkomplizierte Art seinen Urlaub zu gestalten und zu genießen, hat uns vollkommen überzeugt.

Liebe Grüße Christian und Evi

Villa Petra

Liebe Helga,
lieber Josef,

Wir haben schon viele schöne Urlaube auf Kreta in den vergangenen Jahren erlebt. Im letzten Urlaub Juni 2022 durften wir mit Helga 2 Villen vorort besichtigen, und waren sofort von der wunderschönen Lage, sowie von der Architektur und der liebevollen, wie geschmackvollen Inneneinrichtung begeistert.
Und diesem Juni durften wir dann den Urlaub in der Villa Petra genießen. Dieser Urlaub hat unsere Erwartungen im gesamten um ein vielfaches übertroffen.
Die Autovermittlung am Flughafen war perfekt, die Beschreibung der Anfahrt zu Villa ausgezeichnet. Josef hat uns am nächsten Tag persönlich begrüßt und eingewiesen.
Es lag eine Mappe mit Empfehlungen (Ausflüge, Restaurants, Tavernen, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten usw...) bereit. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Villa liegt inmitten
der Natur, inklusive Vogelgezwitscher und Abendrot über den Bergen und dem Meerblick. Einfach zauberhaft.
Wir kommen wieder.

Ganz liebe Grüße, und nochmals Danke für die sehr gute Betreuung.
Evi und Christian
