Vacation rentals in Korfes

We spent 14 nights at Samiro Home Villa. Evi was the perfect host, thoughtful, considerate and responded very quickly to all queries. Everything about the villa was clean and excellent. The grounds offered plenty of opportunities for both sun and shade and the gas barbecue made meals at home easy. Perched high up in the hills, the villa is peaceful and commands marvellous views over the mountains and countryside. It is located an easy 30 minute drive from the centre of Heraklion (recommend parking in the port area €3 all day) and around 45 minutes from the major archaeological sites at Gortys, Phaistos and Agia Triada.

It was a nice place and well refurbished. We were here only for one night but well welcomed. All the rooms were designed to accommodate all the guests. Regards

I can thoroughly recommend the accommodation. It is set in a beautiful location and it is very peaceful. The owner seems to have been thought of everything you may need and she is very friendly and helpful. I hope to visit again in the near future.

I am beyond grateful for my time at the house. Niki is an incredible woman - experienced, excellent conversation, generous… Niki you are magic! The house is a very special space and I couldn’t recommend it enough if what you are looking for is tranquility, mystical nature, walking through the hills to visit other villages… I spent a month here alone, without a car, and I found everything I needed as I was looking for simplicity. The local shop in Pendamodi is only 15-20 minutes walking and stocks cheeses, tins, a good selection of carbohydrates, wine etc. Fruit and vegetables are in the city, but even by bus it is easy to do. I experimented with the buses and it seems it is most consistently arriving between 7:15am and 7:30am but recommend getting to the stop at 7:15 to be safe. The buses back from the city are 13:00 and 14:30 - it costs €2.20 per journey with cash (25 mins more or less) The village itself and the mountains are beyond incredible. Strongly recommend. I will return x x x

Excellent hosts, impeccable Hellenic hospitality.; warm, thoughtful, helpful, responsive and really wonderful family. We met all three generations - Evi, her father Iracles/Hercules and the grandfather. They were helpful and friendly beyond duty. We loved our time there, away from tourist spots in the quiet of the countryside, yet only 20 minutes from Heraklion town & airport. We went out most days to explore the north and the south. - but Crete is huge … ! The drive to the south coast over the mountains is beautiful. The local village restaurant - a couple minute’s drive / 5-7 minutes walk - is excellent with good vegetarian options. The morning mug of coffee, looking out at the range of sun bathed mountains over the olive groves, farms, the horse(s) in the far field below, and the the distant sea was always a wonderful start to the day. That’s a memory to savor. Thank you Evi and Iracles for a wonderful stay, for your kindness and warmth. God willing we’ll be back.

The most beautiful Airbnb! The hosts were extremely responsive, kind, and thoughtful. Loved all of the delicious snacks left for us at arrival.

We spent 2 nights in this beautifully renovated house, very clean, spacious and comfortable! Very quiet. We appreciated the air conditioning at the bedroom level, this hot August. Mosquito screens are also nice. Communication with Nikos is fluid. We arrived very late at the airport. It was convenient to find the key without disturbing anyone. The terrace is superb. We park on the street without any problem. Thank you for the small welcoming touches. Recommended! Laurence and family, France

This was the most beautiful place our family has ever stayed and the best airbnb experience we've ever had! It was great for a family vacation and the villa was equipped with everything we needed. Kostas went above and beyond with everything - his mother came and cooked a Cretan meal for us on our first night, there was a homemade Greek cake, wine, and eggs. We recieved fresh eggs and more wine (made at the villa!) every few days, as well as more towels. We truly couldn't have asked for anything better - there was even a couple local cats who we managed to persuade to come say hi. This is THE place to stay!
