“just PERFECT!!!! BOOK NOW!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for only 2 nights as we were booked in the hotel next door (mareblue) but they had over booked us or something which we were not impressed at all! so when we checked in they told us they were putting us next door at "golden villas" but we soon went from being very angry people to very happy and wished we could stay there for the duration but was told we couldnt! :-(
For us the view alone was 5*
Lovely and private
Perfect chill out hol
only thing to say is it is on abit of a hill but to get the views it needs to be but if u strugle with walking request a lower room which will still have a lovely view. we were at the top far right end villa just perfect could see for miles!!!

Room Tip: higher the better the view and the more caleries burned!!!

“2nd year in a row, we will D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y be back...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

We stayed with family, renting 2 villas with sharing pool in the 2nd level of the resort at end of July - beginning of August. As last year we loved every second of it... Amazing views, quiet atmosphere nice & clean place just a short drive from Chersonisos. Food is good for a 4 star place mixing Greek Cuisine with local delicacies and only recommendation would be to upgrade the orange juice at Breakfast time(too watery) because its a shame to ruin the overall feeling of the food offered, a minor mistake of the cook...In general Golden Villas is a real value for money place. There is no place in Crete offering private swimming pools at that cost and believe me because I am local i 've been searching a lot ;) Be back soon Marinos...:D

“In a word, Excellent.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011

Me and my friend stayed on a weekend at Golden Villa
We arrived in the morning and immediately upon our arrival, we got the key to the room and we were invited to a free breakfast on the house.
The staff was so nice, helpful, nice smileing and gives you a feeling of home.
The villa was large, a small kitchenette equipped with a private pool.
This place is highly recommended.
When I return to Crete I'll stay there again

“great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011

Nice Place Near Hersonissos.
Close to a rocky beach, With 2 tavernas within walking distance by foot.
And is also within driving distance of a few minutes from the shores of Hersonissos.
Advisable to take a vehicle but can do without.

The rooms (villas) are constructed from two levels, When on the top floor there is a bedroom and shower And balcony with sea view.
On the ground floor there is a kitchenette, another balcony and pool (Some of rooms has a private pool and others has shared pool with one more room)

Very nice team with a constant smile and excellent service
We arrived in the morning and the hotel manager immediately offered us to sit down for breakfast.

There is easy road out to the east and the west
One day we drove to the south island as well - MATALA

Just minutes away from MALIA, hersonissos
And within 25 minutes drive from airport.

“Friendly, stress free & enjoyable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2009

people found this review helpful

From the moment we arrived we were made welcome, it was late evening but Freddy (the manager) insisted on cooking us a meal. The villa was clean & spacious & the private pool was cleaned daily. The owners & mangement treated us more as friends than guests & Maria delighted in putting plenty of Cretan dishes in front of us, teaching us some Greek in the process. Nothing was too much trouble, ask & it was done. Hire acar & explore the island, it's beautiful & everyone is friendly. Thanks Freddy, Maria &
Jannis for making our stay so enjoyable.
Golden Villas is better than the photos, especially when the rock behind the hotel is floodlit at night. It is quiet &relaxed but close to town with its nightlife & there are good tavernas nearby but please try the grill at the hotel & enjoy Freddies hospitality.
