Fabulous place Just returned from Crete stayed at villa balos amfimala in georgeopulis. Wonderful villa just outside of the resort but close enough to enjoy the many tavernas where we ate wonderful food. The cocktails at Splendid were amazing. Mihalis the owner of the villa was always on hand if needed and nothing was any trouble

Excellent villa with excellent amenities and view We stayed at Villa Balos in June 2019. We were a group of 6 adults and 2 children under 2 years old. The villa was spacious and had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable week away. Michael and his family were amazing hosts and could not do enough for us. We arrived to a lovely home-cooked meal, wine, beer and fruit - just what we needed after an early start. The views from the villa are lovely, with great sunsets and views of the sea. The walk to the beach is about 15 mins - just be sure to take the quiet side road and not try your luck across the busy road over the bridge. It took us a day to find, but once we had, we walked every day. Georgioupolis has everything you need - whilst not being too hectic or busy. Would highly recommend - it has everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Wunderbare Idylle, purer Luxus Was soll ich sagen? Der Aufenthalt bei Irini und Michali war einfach nur perfekt. Das Haus ist sehr groß, gut ausgestattet (insbesonderedie Küche!) und kann eine große Gruppe beherbergen, ohne, dass es eng zu wird. Die Einrichtung ist detailreich und sehr liebevoll, ganz entgegen manch anderer, karg eingerichteter Ferienwohnungen. Wir hatten jedes Mal das Gefühl, richtig nach Hause zu kommen. Die Gastgeber sind herzlich, freundlich und sehr entgegenkommend. Auch der Pool ist top. Zwar ist das Meer direkt vor der Nase und wirklich nicht weit entfernt; der Nordwind kann aber durchaus mal so wehen, dass am Strand die rote Fahne weht und die Lifeguards alle rauspfeifen. Wer dann einen Pool hat, der hat natürlich gewonnen! Auch die Lage bei Georgioupoli ist super. Das Örtchen selbst ist nett, nicht zu touristisch wie anderswo und bietet eine Vielzahl an super Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Läden. Wenn man richtig einkaufen möchte sind Rethymno und -noch besser !- Chania nicht weit. Irini und Michali helfen gerne und geben gerne Tipps. Schlussendlich: Highly recommended, komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

Wonderful villa and incredibly hospitable owners - we had an amazing time We spent a week with several friends here in early June and enjoyed every minute of it. The villa is spacious and spotlessly clean and allowed as to feel at home right from the beginning. We especially loved the proximity to the ocean and the great pool (in the evenings or on days when some of us were too lazy to go to the beach). Eirini and Michali were wonderful owners that brought tasty food upon our arrival and were always available when we had questions or needed trip ideas later on. We would always recommend this place for bigger families or groups of friends looking for a relaxing time on Crete, away from the big hotels.

Beautiful villa with a view We've just got back from our wonderful family holiday with our 6 teenagers/ early 20s children at Villa Balos. We were looking for a holiday to remember as they have all just finished important exams and 5 out of 6 head off to uni this year. Villa Balos with its incredibly hospitable hosts Irini and Michail was perfect. The villa is spacious and newly decorated and furnished. It has lots of spaces with fabulous views to relax in - large upstairs balcony and ground floor one, lovely garden with a week maintained pool that you can cool off in whilst appreciating the view over Georgioupolis and surrounding hills. There's a great barbecue area too. Michail and Irini will make sure you have everything you need and you can always get hold of them. There is a 15 minute walk into Georgioupolis which we really enjoyed doing but if you have a hire car it would be 2 minutes. All in all a superb family or group holiday location that I'd strongly recommend.

Perfect Location We stopped here the last week in August and found it to be a perfect home from home. We found the villa to be spacious and very well equipped. It was a ten minute walk to the centre of town where there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Michalis the villa owner was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome and popped up daily to sort the rubbish and check the pool. Nothing was too much trouble, he even helped us sort out airport transfers to and from the villa. We will be returning at the earliest opportunity. Thank you to Michalis and his family. We shall definately see you again.

excellent view! That place is marvellous!! amazing hosters, quite place and beautiful view! Suggest to go there to breath fresh air and to enjoy the nature and the harmony.
