Really good

Overall a really good stay Nikos the owner is always there if you need help which we did on a couple of occasions one occasion in particular when my daughters room had no electricity within half an hour nikos had an electrician on site to sort the issue out and it was resolved very promptly. The location of the villa is quite rural but 600m from hersonisoss village with all the traditional tavernas which produced some amazing cuisine.

Cute little hotel, bit remote

Very nice hotel, we arrived late but the owner kindly left us a note and keys, room was up graded free of charge to a bigger sea view room due to our other room having a trchnical issue. Met the owner in the morning, very nice guy, very informative. The hotel was a bit remote with the only public bus station being a 30 minute walk away down a 60 road, the local town was very cute and had a shop near buy, the room was big and clean, bathroom a bit dated but definitely worth the price we paid!

Affordable perfection!

We stayed at Villa Medusa last week and it was amazing value overall! Really close to the beach but still in a quiet area, great view of the sea, and a nice pool to cool off. The owner Nikos was so helpful and he even let us stay for the day after finding out our flight wasn't until the evening. Highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel is nice.

You can find everything in the apartment. The host is very friendly. Nikos is always ready to help. However, if you don't have a car, it will take a lot of time to get to the sea as it is rather far. The place is quiet. It's for the people who are tired of noisiness and wants a good rest and relaxation. Nearby you can find a bakery, a mini market. In the evening you can enjoy having dinner in one of the taverns which are not far from the hotel.

Quiet, relaxed, initially lost!

Our trip started in chaos following our flight out with easyjet. Arriving near midnight in Heraklion meant finding the hotel was more than a little challenging. Address not quite right, and post code off on the sat nav meant it took us 2 hours! Helpful hint here: Drive straight along the big road from Heraklion towards Agios Nikolaias and do not turn off until you arrive (approx 30km later) at temporary roundabout signposted for Hersonissos. This should be a left turn. Immediately after a little underpass take the righ hand turn. Then the next two lefts. After 2-300 yards you should see a big hedge with a sign in it (and I mean litterally in the hedge) saying Villa Medusa. It has white gate - you are there! The hotel itself was very clean - we had the room at the very top - doublebed, lovely bedding, aircon fantastic, two balconies - one sea view and the other garden/pool. Nikos thankfully provided a bottle of water for arrival on the first night - Cretian water is very chlorine flavoured from the taps - beware this will affect tea/coffee so best to use filter water for those! The pool was great. Unfortunately the pool bar was not open when we were there :( but, as the only holiday makers, there we did practically have a private pool so really can't complain! Kitchen facilities were a stove top and a fridge. Frying pan and large pot provided. No tea towel so may be best to pack one. Otherwise towels were provided.

Fantastic service great for relaxation

The location is different to on the map. It is actually right next to hersnossisos village. The area is super quiet and the village has everything you need. I would recommend hiring a scooter or a car. I did not but a taxi to new hersnossisos, on the coast, is only 6/7 euros. The owner Nikos is very friendly, helpful and nice. He helps you then leaves you - no awkwardness. The snack bar was closed as the villa was empty apart from me in the daytime, which is fair enough as I was on holiday alone.

Great stay at Villa Medusa

The appartments are located up in the old village, away from the noisy and busy downtown Hersonissos, yet with all the necessary shops and tavernas. A pleasant villa, with a swimming pool surrounded by a lovely garden. The owner, Nikos, is very welcoming, helpful and generous. His warmth and kindness really made a difference to our holidays.

Zimmer sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und sehr sauber und werden täglich gereinigt. Pool ist mit moderner Filteranlage ausgestattet und ebenfalls sehr sauber. Für die Selbstversorgung stehen Kühlschrank, Herd, Wasserkocher, Kaffeemaschine und entsprechendes Kochgeschirr bereit. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, sodass man viel zu lange schläft.
