We had a fantastic stay at Villa Sugar – truly one of the best holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in. The villa is stunning, spacious, and extremely well equipped, but let me say this clearly: the pictures don’t do it justice. The views are absolutely breathtaking – especially at sunset.Although the beach is only a 5-minute drive away, we ended up spending most of our time at the villa because it was so peaceful and relaxing. The private pool, games area, and outdoor dining made it feel like our own private resort.Everything you need is provided – from a full kitchen, washing machine, and BBQ, to games and high-end appliances. There were also regular cleans during our stay, which helped keep everything fresh and spotless – a really thoughtful touch that made a big difference.The host was exceptional – warm, responsive, and generous. He gave us fantastic recommendations for local places to visit (we especially loved Lake Kournas) and even brought us gifts of delicious local food, which made us feel truly welcome.If you’re looking for a luxurious and peaceful place to stay in Crete, Villa Sugar is perfect. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Superb villa in a lovely location
We had a great stay in this lovely villa. Located on the edge of a charming village. There is a supermarket 60 seconds away with two others in the village along with a bakery, butchers, fishmongers an ice cream shop and a selection of tavernas. A couple of the tavernas will deliver meals to the villa. Even though it is in the village the villa is very quiet and private and the view from the pool is outstanding. Andreas was a very warm, generous and responsive host who provided several little touches to make the stay even more special. We stayed in early April and paid extra to have the pool heated. This was definitely worth it. The pool was pre-warmed and ready from the time we arrived and even though there were some chilly days the pool was always warm and inviting. It was also exceptionally clean. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa. Thank you for hosting us Andreas.

FABULOUS
Our family of 6 adults had a fantastic time at Villa Sugar. The villa is very spacious, very clean and well designed with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The swimming pool is brilliant and the views from the villa are stunning, especially when watching the sun set over the sea and the mountains. There is an excellent supermarket within 100 metres and at least two restaurants you can walk to from the villa. Andreas, the owner is brilliant. His knowledge of the area and his genuine desire to ensure you have a great time is outstanding. Thank you

5 star luxury holiday at Villa Sugar
We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Villa Sugar. The accommodation is beautifully presented, a real wow factor place.
We were 2 families of 4. It was the perfect size for us. Plenty of space to relax inside and outside. The infinity pool, with the views of the sea and mountains is something we will never forget. The supermarket next door stocks everything you need. The is a fab taverna in the village that also does takeaways, we ate there 3 times and couldn’t fault it. The village, Episkopi is very pretty and everyone we met was really friendly.
We travelled to nearby Georgioupoli and had a swim (on the cold beach where the river meets the sea) it was wonderful. The fish restaurant next to this beach was fantastic.
Andreas looked after us so well, leaving us cakes, figs, home made olive oil, and helped us sort out taxis. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return!

Fantastic Holiday!
Stayed for 1 week at this amazing property. There is nothing that this villa doesn’t have! Andreas (the owner I believe) was very helpful, friendly and accommodating! The view is incredible and the sunsets are even better. We did not have a hire car so remained in the villa for our trip but you can walk 15 minutes to a Tavern called Kactus which has a varied menu. They also do delivery so you don’t have to leave if you don’t want to. There is a shop (1 minute walk) that has everything you need.
The beach is too far to walk (especially in August heat) but this did not affect our trip.
Once again, beautiful villa and I’d recommend anyone visiting to stay here!!

Great view great location
We were a group of five adults and stayed a week in early May. The location of thebilla is ideal to explore Chania, Rethymno, and surrounding area. There is easy access off the main highway and the villa is located in a village largely untouched by mass tourism. There are tavernas within walking distance, there is an excellent supermarket next door, and there is a butcher, fishmonger and bakery in the village. Episkopi beach is lovely and only a short drive from the villa.
The villa itself is comfortable with climate control in each room. Comfortable beds and above all an amazing terrace with a breathtaking view that you would never tire of looking at.
The host Andreas is communicative and helpful and quick to respond to any question. Lovely touches su h as gifts of cretan cake and local herbs and olive oil made us feel welcome.
I would not hesitate to recommend Villa Sugar and would gladly return agIn.

Great long weekend with friends
Amazing time with friends, host was really helpful and talked us through everything at the property upon arrival. Pool was heated for a reasonable charge which really helped in the early summer months. Host arranged all our travel between the airport. The shop was literally next door and allowed us to use their trolleys to move large shops to and from the property. Lots of stuff to do in the house, table tennis, table football, pool games, bbq etc. perfect for a group of friends who want to spend some time in a small town!

Amazing
Villa Sugar was everything we had hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, Andreas made us feel extremely welcome and was on hand throughout our whole stay if we needed anything.
This was our first trip to Crete and Villa Sugar was the perfect base. The location is ideal, being only 5 minutes drive from the beach or a short walk up into the village where you will find tavernas and cafes. Rethymno is only a short drive away if you want a bit more of a city feel, with its waterfront bars and boutique shops. After a busy day exploring the surrounding areas, there was nothing better than coming back to the Villa to watch the sun go down, the sunsets were quite simply out of this world.
We cannot recommend Villa Sugar enough and we really hope that we’ll be able to visit the beautiful island of Crete again really soon.

Paradise In crete
The owner is so welcoming. Showed us around and how everything works. He had left us a homemade cake, coffee and bread.
Sent us links and places to visit and see.
There is nothing you could need for your stay that’s not there. There’s even a hair wond/curler!
The pool area is nothing short of stunning. We ate outside most evening to watch the sunset. The odd occasion we ate out we were actually gutted we missed it.
Its right next to the super market which is stocked with everything. The beach is a 25 min walk down hill (we always got a cab back)
Up the hill are some amazing restaurants and it’s worth walking up a bit further to really see the village in all its glory.
We are already planning our next stay.

Gorgeous views and pool!
We were a multi-generational family group of seven that stayed for a week at this beautiful villa. The villa is spacious and looks exactly like the photos. The veranda, pool and views make it a showstopper.
The Etouri Management company was extremely helpful in recommending activities and we really enjoyed the full-day catamaran cruise from a company in Bali. (The Skippers’ captain was so incredibly patient with my 85 year old father and three teenagers of various swimming skills and differing levels of anxiety over getting in the water.). Andreas, the owner was also so helpful and sorted out a shower chair for my father and dropping off presents during our stay. The grocery store is conveniently located just across the road and has everything your could need with very friendly staff. We visited the beach and had lunch a few times at Kymou which was great. All in all we all wish we could have stayed longer and can’t wait to return!

Amazing Villa
We have recently returned from our 2 week stay at Villa Sugar. We had such a lovely time and were so well looked after. The villa was stunning as was the view and nothing was too much trouble. There were regular cleans with fresh bedding and towels and always a gift of something yummy left by Andreas after the cleaners had been. Episkopi beach is around 2km away and is also beautiful and clean with lots of tavernas...Rockas was our personal favourite.
Trips and cabs can all be arranged through the villa management company who are more like personal assistants...a big thank you to Eleni, Robert and Kostas at Etouri...honestly made us feel like VIPs.
There are a couple of fairly local restaurants that also deliver to the villa so that can be handy. There is also a supermarket right next door with plenty to offer. The villa is in a great, quiet location with beautiful views & sunsets, we would definitely return.
I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

Fantastic, spacious villa that never felt overcrowded, even with our party of 6 adults and 2 children. Spotlessly clean, really comfortable beds and a kitchen fitted with every implement you could ever need!
The views are truly amazing and the whole area is just so peaceful and relaxing, we would return in a heartbeat!
Andreas is most helpful and the food and wine gifts left for us were delicious😀
Episkopi village is delightful, Greece how it used to be, and only a short distance to Rethymnon if you want some hustle and bustle; we tried it one day but were eager to return to the stunning Villa Sugar!
A thank you to Kostas at Etouri for answering my many questions prior to our holiday; we were travelling with a baby and a toddler and wanted to ensure everything would be in place for them - it was!!
You will not be disappointed at Villa Sugar!!
