Hi Robbie,
just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time. The appartment is second to none, so comfortable, modern, light and airy. The weather was
perfect and we appreciated the windy days. Rosemary and Nico do a brilliant job and are very helpful without being intrusive. Am sure that we will return. Thank you for all your help and advice. Regards Sarah

I would like to recommend Grapevines for a fun and relaxed family holiday.
Grapevines is a very well managed and friendly complex. Help is at hand from Rosemary and Nikos, who were both welcoming and efficient. Robbie was also wonderfully organised and provided us with all the information we could have wanted. We were really well looked-after and treated like guests in their home! Everything went very smoothly: booking arrangements, finding our way to the apartment, gaining access to the apartment, help when needed … couldn’t have gone any better!
The apartment itself is fresh, clean, modern, well equipped (loved the large coffee machine), delightfully spacious and light, with lots of the lovely touches that make private rental my preference! We enjoyed having the option of so much private and shared outside space. The room arrangements work really well with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. The pool itself was wonderful, and even though we were there in August with all apartments full, the children still got more time in the pool to themselves than not. There were always sun loungers available and it never felt too busy.
Makrigialos is great for families and couples alike with a good choice of restaurants, bars, live entertainment and traditional fare. Lots to see and do locally if you wish, or if you want a pure chill-out holiday – it certainly caters for that too. And I had forgotten just how beautiful Crete is! We could make lots of local recommendations, but then you may want the adventure of exploring for yourselves. Enjoy”
Best regards
Amanda

Hi Robbie and Julie,
We had a wonderful holiday in spite of some bad weather and we made the most of it. The apartment, complex and situation/location was fantastic.
We used the tennis court opposite several times. We also used the hotel play area which the boys loved. The children managed to get in the swimming pool in their wet suits, though my daughter managed to in her bikini but it was too cold for me! I did swim in the sea though-lovely.
Even though it was out of season, there were still some restaurants/bars open and it was lovely to have the beach to yourself!
The gorge walk from Makrigialos was very enjoyable and we made it to the falls! We also arranged a trip via the little supermarket to Pefkoi-the owner of the shop owns the taverna up there and he arranged for us to be taken up by one of his workers for free. We were personally shown round the museum and had a lovely meal al fresco. We would have loved to have seen the caves up there but it was an uphill walk taking a couple of hours there and back-too much for the little ones. There are the local elders who can show you around the caves because apparently there are no lights but none were available the day we went. We got a taxi back for 6 euros.
Thanks again,
Be in touch, regards,
Ruth Dale

I would like to thank you for the use of your home for our holiday, it certainly suited our needs. We spent many hours each day walking along the beach, visiting the many restaurants, and pubs along the beach area, so the location of your home was a blessing. The gated community of Grapevines is indeed very beautiful, and although the pool did still have water, we found the water temperature a bit too cool to use it, but we did make use of the lounge chairs around the pool. Your home is indeed very lovely, we appreciated the fact that the bedrooms were on the lower level, as we did not have to carry our heavy suitcases up any stairs to the bedrooms. That is a wonderful idea. We found your kitchen and living area to be very modern, and very spacious, and we did make good use of the balcony off the livingroom, for our morning coffee, and to sit and enjoy the sun, and to also enjoy the sea. The view is beautiful. We also found it to be conviently close to the super markets, the meat market, and the restaurants. Thankyou again for the use of your home, and I would like to reccomend it to any friends who are travelling to Crete. Rosemary was very helpful, and it was also a blessing to have her help with any questions that arose.
Thankyou again,

First and foremost we would like to thank you Rosemary and your husband for the wonderful hospitality you provided. The place was amazing but more importantly the kindness you exhibited to me and my family was above and beyond what we expected. For this we are eternally grateful. Thank you.
Robbie and Jules, we would also like to extend our gratitude to you as well. The place was exceptional and your guidance and care throughout the entire process made it a stress free vacation. You garnered our trust from the very start and it was more than warranted. The process from beginning to end was the best we encountered throughout our 5 week stay in Europe. You set an exceptionally high bar. My family are thankful! We left wonderig if Crete was a wonderful place or was the service we acquired just that good! I do not believe there to be a higher compliment. Again, we would not hesitate in providing a reference for the exceptional care and quality Grapevines provides.
I wish all of you the best.

Dear Julie & Robbie
We wanted to say a huge thank you, for allowing us to stay in your brilliant villa, it had the WOW factor, and it was a home from home for us. All the facilities were excellent, clean, comfortable and impressive.
We also wanted to say how much we enjoyed meeting Rosemary and Nico, they are wonderful, and such an asset to Grapevines.
We had a lovely holiday, and I wish we were there now! We have already recommended you to family and friends, so keep up the good work, and we will hopefully be in touch again in the future.

I travelled to Crete on my own with 3 children, and it couldn't,t have been easier . I was met at the airport by the .taxi which was arranged by Rosemary
Even though we didn't arrive at Grapevine Villas until midnight Rosemary was still there to meet us with a smile and show us around.
The house was just perfect for us , everything we needed was there. The complex is clean modern and perfectly positioned and so so very friendly.
We ate somewhere different every day and the best thing was it was all walkable and safe
The children went off on their own to play tennis and football through the day at the hotel opposite , and i sat on the balcony of Grapevine with a drink and watched them ....perfect.
We enjoyed our visit so much we have already booked for next year
