Our guests' experiences

Villa Tara
Liebe Familie Beibl, liebe Frau Buschmann und das gesamte Kreta-Fan-Team, wir haben eine wundervolle Woche als Familie in der Villa Tara verbracht! Das wunderschöne und liebevoll eingerichtete Haus, die tolle Lage, die Ausstattung, der Pool, der atemberaubende Meerblick mit allabendlichem Sonnenuntergang … es war perfekt, um uns zu erholen und die Batterien wieder aufzuladen! Nach jedem Ausflug auf der wunderschönen Insel Kreta haben wir uns jedes Mal aufs „Nach-Hause-Kommen“ in die Villa Tara gefreut. Herzlichen Dank für Ihre tolle Gastfreundschaft und die vielen lokalen Empfehlungen! Familie Schmitt

Liebe Familie Beibl, vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt in Ihrer Villa Tara. Man kann Sie als Gastgeber und Ihre Häuser einfach nur weiterempfehlen. Die Ausstattung, Sauberkeit und Ihre Gastfreundlichkeit sind mehr als was man erwarten kann. Wir haben uns im Haus sehr wohl gefühlt und aufgrund Ihrer Tipps immer sehr gut gegessen - wir würden immer wiederkommen. Wenn Ferienvilla auf Kreta, dann auf jeden Fall KRETAfan. Alles Liebe, Familie Bischoff

Villa Tara

Liebe Helga, lieber Josef, liebe Frau Buschmann,
wir waren nun zum 3. Mal bei euch in Kreta. Wieder war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, die Villa Tara ist super schön, der Ausblick atemberaubend. Die Villa war blitzeblank sauber bei Anreise und der persönliche Service von Euch ist sowieso immer top. Corona war hier absolut nicht zu spüren, man ist in der Villa absolut abgeschieden, hat seinen eigenen Pool und am Strand bzw. in den Tavernen war Abstand immer einzuhalten. Also auch zu Coronazeiten ein absolut entspannter und sicherer Urlaub.
In diesem Sinne hoffentlich bis November.
LG Christine, Konrad und Pudeline Emmi
