About this property

Yiannis Cottage is situated in a small village in W. Crete, set above Spilia's Myrtidiotissa Church, with it's magnificent painted interior. Indulge yourself around your own beautiful private Pool, listening to bird-song and enjoying the scent of fragrant flowers.
Every year we made some changes in order to have a better and higher quality stay.
Our pool is salted, which means that we won't use chlorine, so the pool is totally ecological. We made also the pool heated for the colder months of the season (Spring and Autumn). 2 new big wooden sunbeds and a perfect for relaxing nest are provided to you. New pool tiles and some more details will be ready and wait for our guests for 2023.
We brought even closer nature to you and your table with more fruits
and vegetables from our garden and fresh eggs from a new small hennery a few meters away from the Cottage.
With respect to the architecture of the area, we have upgraded the facilities of the Cottage giving more emphasis to a larger bathroom & shower area and we also added a taller fence which gives more privacy to our guests.
Yiannis Cottage is provided with the special sign of the Greek Tourist Organization (EOT-1354121504) which secures the quality level of all services, terms and conditions our guests have the privilege to enjoy during their stay.
Enjoy the pleasures of the local tavernas, or eat by your Pool on warm balmy evenings.
Whether you are looking for a totally relaxing, or a more adventurous holiday, you will find that Yiannis Cottage is the perfect base.
Welcome pack.: A welcome pack will await you in the Cottage, consisting of traditional fresh organic products.
A bottle of olive oil, raki, and local wine from Yiannis own farm.
For you to enjoy leisurely breakfasts on your terrace overlooking the Pool, there is a breakfast pack consisting of bread, natural juices, eggs, bacon, honey and butter.

More than expected!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Yiannis Cottage. The house is beautiful & in a perfect location at the traditional village of Spilia close to lots of lovely beaches and taverns.. The pool is salted and we really enjoyed it, we have never stayed into the pool so much.Manolis was so lovely - we have never stayed with such fantastic host before.I would recommend this villa to every couple or small family for relaxing. We can’t wait to return!

Fantastic 2 Person Villa in Crete

This was the second time we had stayed in this villa after our first trip in 2018. The villa is perfect for 2 people, with a fabulous garden, encompassing a large pool and 2 seating areas. It is very difficult to find something this good for 2 people, it is almost unique. The villa is in a great location on the Western side of Crete, and is within driving distance of many beaches, including some of Crete's most famous ones. It is situated in the charming village of Spilia and is within walking distance of two good tavernas. The city of Chania with its picturesque harbour is only 30 minutes drive away with Chania airport being another 10 minutes on. The best thing about this villa is the owner, Manolis. He goes out of his way to ensure you have a great holiday, and is there to meet all your needs. He is extremely kind and helpful, without being intrusive. We have travelled to many places across the world and this is the only villa we have stayed in twice which reflects just how much we like it. I know you will too. We hope to return in the future.

Lovely place brilliant host

We have recently returned from a very happy 9 day stay in the cottage. Fantastic location within walking distance of 2 very good local tavernas & within driving distance of beaches, walks, wineries etc. Great outside space including lovely good sized pool, outside eating areas in both shade & sun. Stand out feature was Manolis himself especially helpful with local tips & answered all our questions plus a very generous delicious food & drink package on arrival which fed us for several meals supplemented by his father’s wonderful vegetable garden, we also loved his gift of honey soaked pastries.We would definitely like to return space permitting & highly recommend ideal for a couple.
