Villa Dyonisos

We had a lovely stay at Villa Dionysos. We were a group of 12 friends in our late twenties. The villa had a great location being a 10 minute walk into the beautiful town of Sissi. The BBQ and table area was beautiful and allowed all 12 people to sit around at lunch and at the evening. A great holiday! 

We have just stayed at Villa Dyonisos from 18th August to 1st September. We were a party of 11 people and this is the first time we have booked through Luxury Villas Abroad so we were slightly apprehensive. We need not have worried at all. Audrey and Maria were extremely professional, friendly and couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay in Sisi was perfect. They provided a one to one meeting on our first day giving lots of useful information about the area. If we contacted them they always responded swiftly and nothing was too much trouble. The villa itself was perfect for our party. Split over three floors it gave us plenty of space to live in without being on top of each other. 
( We had 5 teenagers in our party). The outdoor eating area was perfect for getting together in a evening and we often BBQ’d and played cards in the evening. The fridges in this area were great so you didn’t have to keep going into the villa fridge. The pool was very clean and kept maintained throughout our stay. There was plenty of cooking utensils and plates / glasses for all our party and the dishwasher was a godsend. The cleaners came half way through our stay and thoroughly cleaned and provided us with fresh shower and pool towels. Sisi was very picturesque and the villa Dyonisos is only a short walk into the harbour area so you do not need car hire.  I would definitely recommend this resort to family and friends and would definitely use Luxury Villas abroad for our stay. I would go as far to say that this has probably been my most enjoyable holiday yet. Can’t wait to visit again.

“Our family enjoyed two weeks at Villa Dyonisos in August 2019.  The villa is modern and spacious; the bedrooms are comfortable and all boast decent working air conditioning.  There is a lovely pool and terrace with comfortable sunbeds.  The BBQ and Bar area is a particularly great feature and our family enjoyed a number of fun nights cooking food supplied by the local butcher and enjoying drinks from the fantastically cold fridges located at the “bar”.

The villa is very conveniently situated, within easy walking distance from the charming local town of Sisi where there are a number of lovely bars and restaurants – perfect for a sundowner.

We enjoyed excellent service from the team at Luxury Villas on Crete and would like to thank them for being attentive throughout.  I would not hesitate to recommend Luxury Villas on Crete to friends and family.”

My family of thirteen, including two babies and a two-year-old returned to the Villa Dyonisos for the second time at the beginning of June this year.   As a family we love Sisi and the facilities that the villa Dyonisos offers, especially the pool and the great BBQ area, which is always well used plus the quiet location next to the olive grove but within walking distance to so many lovely restaurants, shops and the well-stocked supermarket.

On arrival we were absolutely delighted to find the villa had been completely refurbished - new kitchen, bathrooms with wonderful walk in showers, new lounge furniture and beds, with very comfortable mattresses.  Everyone particularly enjoyed the comfortable new sunbeds – thank you for making our stay even more enjoyable!

"Lovely apartments had a really nice time very clean and tidy

Villa Dyonisos was the perfect villa for our family of 11, including 3 young children. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for the week. Audrey and her team were fantastic in arranging everything, including airport transfers, and gave us excellent recommendations, including a fabulous local restaurant which was without doubt the best food we ate all week. We could not have asked for anything more from our holiday, and would love to go back one day!

‘We have just returned from a fabulous weeks holiday in Villa Dyonisos and just can’t wait to return there for another break! The villa was absolutely beautiful, very well equipped and more than comfortably accommodated is 11 of us for our stay. Audrey and her team were so very helpful and recommended some lovely places to visit and a superb restaurant to eat at in Sissi (Neromilos Taverna- wonderful food and fantastic service). A truly special holiday, thank you so much we will be back!’

Thank you very much for a fabulous break

We enjoyed a wonderfull two weeks at Villa Dyonisos. The house was perfect for our group of 11. Each of is had their own privacy. Pool was nice. In short: great!. Special thanks to Audrey and her team who were always very helpfull and gave us tips for things to do and see. Thanks

Delighted to oblige!

A group of nine friends stayed at the Villa Dyonisos for a World Cup week in June.

The villa was just right for our needs and situated perfectly for a short stroll to the many very friendly bars and restaurants in town.

The outstanding service was the highlight and very reassuring. Whenever there was a problem no matter how small, Audrey and her team dealt with it immediately in a patient, efficient and friendly manner. This company is the best!

Hope to see you again !

Best wishes

“The villa is well situated just a quick 7 minute walk to local amenities. Great restaurants and bars, 15 minute short walk to the beach. Try the restaurants in the welcome pack you wont be disappointed! The villa was more than big enough for our family of 11 and the pool was perfect for everyone to cool down. As a family we had a fabulous time and will definitely return soon.”

The highlight for us was probably the villa itself. As we were a large group it catered for all our needs and had enough space for all of us. The pool was a great size and the outside table and bbq area was lovely for sitting at in the end and with the lights it was beautiful to sit at during the evening.

Sissi itself was lovely. We didn't have a car but the walk was a 10 minute stroll away to the supermarket which was good and everything we needed was close by. We loved your recommendations of local restaurants. Our favorite was Liofito. We went there twice and it was absolutely amazing both times.

My best stay at Crete ever, this is slow life !

Villa Dyonisos had a fantastic location, with acceptable distance to the airport, walking distance to charming Sissi, and short distance by car or bus to Malia beach.  Sissi is a charming village with a intimate harbor, good restaurants, and you have access to what you need for a slow life.  The villa had a lot of space, it was well equipped, and the outdoor space was amazing, with private swimming pool, car parking, pergola and barbecue area.  But the best place was in the big outdoor staircase where the family gathered into a shady breakfast, and a fantastic sunset at night.  Luxury Villas on Crete is very professional and helpful in a sweet way, and they do all that they can to give us a good stay and good experience.  We will definitely be using Luxury Villas next time !

Wonderful villa in a great location 

We stayed here for a week for a family holiday of 11 adults and 1 toddler. The villa was great for our needs. We were met on arrival and 2 of us were taken into the nearby town just so we could see where the main things we would need were which was really useful. The villa had Good size bedrooms with air-con (which was needed) and great living /kitchen area with nice balcony. The pool was a great size and we loved the table outside for eating together as the weather was beautiful. The walk into town was a nice 10 minute stroll. The supermarket had a good variety of stock and their was a wonderful selection of restaurants to choose from. The girls from luxury villas left a booklet with ones they recommended and these were all wonderful. The girls were so helpful throughout our stay and their office handy for just popping in while at the supermarket.Everything we needed was in walking distance but we did hire a car for one day to explore a little which is worth doing. Cost of car hire was so cheap. If we were going back to Crete would definitely use luxury villas again and I would be happy to recommend this villa as we had a fabulous holiday. 

Wonderful family holiday. Sissi is a wonderful location with ample restaurants to choose from, which are not expensive. Villa Dyonisos is in a quiet location adjoining an olive grove, 15 minute walk from the town. The villa was very comfortable and clean. Audrey made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The whole family had a wonderful holiday and would return tomorrow.

Lovely property, great location, excellent service. 

To give you some context, we were a party of 7 with a 1 year old, 2 people in their 30's and 4 over 65! We had a lovely break in Sisi and found the Villa to be perfect.The lounge, dining area and kitchen are very spacious with a large balcony overlooking the olive trees - very nice to watch the sunset from. It was also very safe for a 1 year old to crawl round (once we had blocked the stairs off with cushions!). The bedrooms were very nice - 2 lovely rooms on the top floor, 4 rooms on the bottom floor (the living space is in-between!). I would say air conditioning is a must in Crete and this villa had it in every bedroom. The outdoor eating area is really good and the bbq excellent. The pool area was nice too. The location of the villa is perfect. Its a 10 minute walk into the village & if you don't fancy the 10 minutes back its only 5 euros in a taxi - they were always available. The restaurants in the village were very good. The village beach is very small BUT the beach just beside the nearby ancient palace is one of the best we have ever been to and is a 5 minute drive. Finally, Audrey and Eva were superb throughout our stay - making sure we had everything we need, giving us recommendations. Its lovely to know that you have someone to help you just in case you need it! I hope you find this review helpful!

We travelled to Crete (Dyonisos) from London in May 2016 as a party of 12. The team at Luxury Villas on Crete were extremely accommodating, from booking airport transfers to giving us a guided tour of the local village of Sisi on arrival. The villa itself was absolutely stunning - it had absolutely everything we needed and was only a short walk from local amenities. The trip really couldn't have gone better! Thanks for having us at Dyonisos, we'll certainly we back!

We loved the luxury villa and the surrounding area, it was a great size for 10 people and we would have loved to stay longer. We were in an excellent location with only a short walk into the local village with plenty of nice restaurants and bars. The out door bar and eating area was fantastic and the views of the Olive trees and mountains were an added bonus. Every one had a a great room with excellent facilities, we didn’t feel like we needed anything else. We would all recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to go to crete!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I stayed in Audreys' villa for a week with my family ( 13 of us). Not only was the house gorgeous ( the pictures don't even do it justice), the village was quaint with lots of beautiful local beaches, food, and attractions. The house is in a perfect location; only a 5 minute drive to Malia for more beaches, bars, and restaurants/30 minute drive to the city of Heraklion for shopping and more of a busy feel. Audrey couldn't have been a more genuinely nice and accommodating host. She was there for anything we needed and was always available to us. I give this listing 5 stars and would give it more if I could. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing week in Crete staying at Villa Dyniosos. Two of our friends were getting married in the Elounda area so we wanted a villa that was in a good central location to get there but also offered easy access to explore other parts of the island. I was delighted that Villa Dyniosis ticked all the boxes. Audrey and her team were fantastic throughout - from booking enquiry through to answering my endless questions about washing machines and towels....they provide both in case you were wondering! The villa itself was absolutely lovely, really well maintained and very clean and tidy with a great pool set up including the BBQ and bar area which we used most nights. The local town, which is a short walk away, offers a range of restaurants and bars catering to everyones tastes and if you fancy a big night you can always head to Malia! We did even though we're all aged 25-31! All in all we had a great time and I would certainly go back again.

Amazing Villa!           
Our family of 12, ranging in age from 13 to 78 stayed in Villa Dionysus for 6 glorious days and absolutely loved it!! The villa was spacious and well-equipped and the air-conditioning offered in the bedrooms was such a nice feature after a hot day in the sun! We loved the outdoor grilling area complete with bar, fridge, and wonderful table with enough seating for all of us where we enjoyed several family meals. The close proximity to town allowed us to walk in to enjoy the shops and restaurants. The property was very beautiful and well-maintained. Audrey was wonderful to offer us suggestions of places to visit. We would return here in a minute and highly recommend Villa Dionysus to other travellers! Our only regret was not staying longer!

Villa Dyonisis was everything we could have wished for and more. As a mixed group of eleven this spacious villa was able to cater for all our needs during our week long stay in October. The villa is within perfect walking distance from the coastal town of Sisi, yet maintains an element of peace and tranquillity being positioned in an exclusive area amongst the Olive groves. Being able to have breakfast on the porch in the morning, relax by the pool during the daytime and sip cocktails by the bar at night, meant we found it difficult to venture out and leave Dyonsis! Audrey was welcoming and hospitable throughout our stay in Sisi. Whether they concern eating out or daytime excursions, Audrey's recommendations cannot be topped. It proved invaluable having somebody with such strong local knowledge who was able to provide us with a number of hidden treasures, giving us a true insight into Cretian life. Particular highlights included taking a fishing boat from Plaka to the infamous island of Spinalonga as well as experiencing a true Cretian Meze at tavern Liofito . I could not recommend this place higher.
