Mirabella Hills

A good sign is that we simply didn’t want to leave this beautiful place. We were lucky enough to spend a week in this stunning villa, and our hosts, Georgia and Michalis, were absolutely wonderful, taking great care of us. The house is modernly furnished, and the view of the sea is fantastic. Yes, the kitchen could be a little better equipped, but that’s just a very small “but” for such a great home. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, and a place to truly unwind in a dreamlike setting, Mirabella Hills is exactly the right choice. It was an absolute dream – we loved every moment in this house. Thank you!

Like any holiday maker that has booked accommodation, there is always a bit of nerves about it. Will it be as good as the pictures on the websites. I was reassured it would be fine due to the outstanding communication from Yvonne and all the team at Mirabella Hills. On arrival at Villa Lato we were met by Mikhalis even though our arrival was very late he showed the property explaining features as he went, before he left he sent recommendations for things to see and do in the area including restaurants. I should also mention that prior to arrival, the team set up a WhatsApp group. The accommodation,  wow to say it exceeded expectations is an understatement, the space is bigger  than the photographs suggested. The large glass sliding doors open onto the outside area, giving the feeling of even more space. The kitchen is small but has everything you need and bread, milk fruits, cereal and milk had been left for us, this was amazing and helped until we could get to the supermarket.  The lovely bottle of red wine was definitely well received The bedrooms are absolutely perfect, the upstairs room has a spectacular view over the pool, sea then hills, there were two couples in our party which meant we had a bedroom and bathroom each. The bathroom has plenty of room and a large shower,  the decor is plain, giving a classy clean look. There was an abundance of products, shampoo, soaps, etc, perfect if you forget anything. Any questions we asked during our stay were answered within a couple of minutes. On top of all this on the Sunday and Wednesday we had two amazing ladies come in, we expected a change of bedding and towels, they also cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms and all the floors, what a fantastic service whole Villa sparkling. I should say that we were asked if we wanted them to come so you could choose not to if you wanted. The pool was cleaned several times during our stay, which was a real plus as we used it a lot during our stay. There was also an option to have the pool heated. We didn't, but at least the offer was there. I really hope I will get the chance to visit again.

We LOVED our stay at Mirabella Hills and greatly enjoyed getting to know our gracious and lovely host. The Villa was clean, comfortable, secure, and a delight to stay in with sweeping views of the bay and a wonderful heated pool that our toddler had an amazing time in. It was located very well for exploring the Eastern part of Crete and if we return we will definitely stay again! Highly recommended.

Fantastic vacation home with nice view! Lovely and quiet place, fully equipped and very clean. Staff was very, very kind and really helpful! Mr. Michalis spent time with us explaining all the attractions and best restaurants at Ayios Nikolaos, even the hiking trails! Perfect for friends and families! Highly recommended!!!

There is a certain truth about Creta hospitality that we have experienced with every visit made to this beautiful island... When you first meet, you are strangers. When you leave, you are friends. We have just come to the end of our 6-week stay at Mirabella Hills, Villa Oxa. This is our second winter spent in the Agios Nikolaos area. And it has become quite apparent to us that because of the hospitality of the people, the beauty of this town and surrounding area, and the charm of Villa Oxa, we feel like we are indeed home. As I write this, I am looking out over the mountains that lie on the other side of Mirabello Bay. This villa, with its private inground pool, expansive deck with covered eating area, and modern, clean house is pure luxury. We had the opportunity to visit old haunts for lunch/dinners. Tavernas and restaurants in the close by villages and in town were a quick drive when the notion struck. And again, there was the Creta hospitality. Or if we were inclined to lay low and cocoon at the Villa, the kitchen and added bonus of a barbeque on deck made easy work of our meals in. But what made this such a lovely place to stay is how wonderful our hosts are. Mikhalis and Margarita are simply a joy to get to know. Any question or need was quickly and happily handled by Yvonne or Mikhalis. In a word, delightful. We want to thank you for another perfect way for two snow weary Canadians to escape the "real" cold.
