Absolutely outstanding – one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in!

Absolutely outstanding – one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in!
The house is brand new, beautifully designed and incredibly stylish, with spectacular views and exceptional attention to detail. Everything has been thoughtfully considered, from the architecture to the lighting, creating a truly special atmosphere.
The location is perfect: peaceful and away from mass tourism, yet with plenty to explore and some excellent restaurants nearby. It offers exactly the right balance of tranquility and things to do.
And then there is George – quite simply the kindest and most welcoming Airbnb host I have ever met. Incredibly friendly, attentive and exceptionally responsive, he genuinely goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable.
A truly exceptional place that exceeded all our expectations. I cannot recommend it highly enough and would return in a heartbeat!

Of all our Airbnb stays over the years, George’s villa takes our top spot.

Of all our Airbnb stays over the years, George’s villa takes our top spot. The view of Plaka Beach from the villa is astounding and the pictures do not do it justice. You are within walking distance to the wonderful town of Plaka but have a feeling of complete peace and serenity from the outdoor space. Also, George is the most gracious host we have experienced in our travels- he and his wife prepare homemade desserts and snacks for you, provide local recommendations for anything you need, and take care of every detail so you can just relax and enjoy all that Plaka has to offer.
I would highly recommend George and his villa to anyone that is thinking of traveling to the wonderful island of Crete. We are already planning our return trip. My only regret is having to leave and that I only booked three nights here.

We visited the villa as part of our baby moon trip in Crete. The host George was very warm and welcoming, he is kind and hospitable. The view from the villa is incredible. In terms of value of what you pay for, I don’t think you can get a villa with a better view. The pool area is really nice and the furniture and design of the villa is also amazing and feels very new and clean.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful Ninemia villa in Plaka! From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The villa was pristine, beautifully presented and had the most sensational views — we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.
The owner couldn’t have done anything more for us. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were always on hand to help with any little question which made our stay feel so easy and relaxed!
We particularly loved the thoughtful personal touches.. The drinks and homemade jam made by their grandma were such a lovely touch and really made the villa feel like a home! It was clear how much care and thought had gone into everything.

We have just returned from the most wonderful stay at this beautiful villa, and we honestly cannot recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, our hosts, George and his wife Korina, were so attentive, welcoming, friendly and helpful. They had gone above and beyond to make us feel at home, with a gorgeous welcome hamper filled with local produce, cakes, Raki and homemade jams waiting for us. It was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect start to our stay. It is clear how hard George and Korina work to maintain such high standards and to make sure every guest has a wonderful experience.Their care and attention to detail certainly did not go unnoticed.The highlight for us was without a doubt the spectacular view of Spinalonga Island. It is absolutely breathtaking.We watched the sunrise from the villa on a few occasions, and it was truly magical.We were genuinely so sad to leave this villa.We are heading home with so many beautiful memories that I wish we could bottle up and relive ❤

Tucked away and utterly charming, this villa is a true haven. We felt more than welcomed; we felt cared for. The hosting consistently went above and beyond, lightning-fast replies, thoughtful check-ins, and fixes before we even had time to worry. What stayed with us were all the small kindnesses: bespoke local recommendations that made us feel like locals, and an ease that let us simply enjoy. Beach mornings, long lunches with fresh fish, and relaxed evenings with friends. Five stars, without hesitation, and a new tradition for us year after year.

Fantastic accommodation in Plaka

George and Korina are, without doubt, the finest hosts I’ve encountered in 42 years of staying in villas and guest houses. Our time at Ninemia Villa III in Plaka was exceptional. The house, pool, and views are truly stunning, and after a warm welcome — complete with thoughtful local treats — the place instantly felt like home.

The pool is a standout feature, and the entire property is equipped to a remarkably high standard. George responded quickly to every request, and all his recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and local spots were absolutely spot‑on. The villa is fully stocked with everything you need for a seamless self‑catering stay.

A wonderful experience all around. Highly recommended!

An exceptional stay in a truly magical place.

George welcomed us like family and went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect holiday. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care made all the difference. We’ve been using Airbnb several times a year for over 5 years, and we’ve never had a host like George! He truly set the bar very high, and it will be difficult for us to find a better host.

The setting is absolutely stunning. Every morning, I would sit with my coffee and admire the spectacular view of Spinalonga. Those peaceful moments overlooking the sea are memories I will cherish for a long time.

Very close to the village of Plaka, just a 3-minute drive away. There are many restaurants in a beautiful setting, as well as a lovely pebble beach with parking. Elounda, with its excellent restaurants, is less than a 15-minute drive away.

Thank you for everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a more beautiful place to stay. Highly recommended!

The pool was incredible—peaceful, impeccably maintained, and the perfect place to relax while taking in the stunning surroundings. We also loved spending time at the nearby beach in Plaka, which was absolutely gorgeous, with crystal-clear water and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

What truly made our stay special was the exceptional hospitality from George. He welcomed us so warmly and surprised us with delicious homemade gifts that were a thoughtful and generous touch. His kindness and attention to detail made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived.

George has created a luxurious oasis while also treating his guests like family. When we arrived, we were delighted by all of the amenities George provided for our 16 week old baby including a bath (with built in water thermometer!), and pack n play with sheets. He even gifted her with a sweet lovey. The villa was well equipped with everything we needed and more. And then of course THE VIEW! It was breathtaking waking up every morning to the sunrise through the upstairs window that was made for the panoramic views each day. We had a lot of privacy and never felt like anyone else was staying nearby. The infinity pool made us feel like celebrities. This was seriously the best of both worlds - luxurious and private, but also with charming and warm hospitality. The next time we’re in Crete we won’t even bother looking anywhere else - this was the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had!

On the hillside, it is 1 km from the picturesque beach of Plaka that we simply loved. The house is very good for 4 people, not very large but functional but anyway we live outside, on this beautiful terrace! The pool is 1.50 m deep and is very nice! The only downside for us was that there was no parasol, but it is true that there is a lot of wind. Georgios is simply amazing and of rare kindness. Available, responsive and always ready to advise us on the best beaches, restaurants or other! He booked restaurants for us or arranged for food to be delivered to the house. This is the first time I've dealt with such a helpful and available host! He had an impediment on the day of our arrival so he came a few days later to say hello and brought us traditional biscuits! A real treat!

We had a fantastic stay at a gorgeous villa in Plaka.

We had a fantastic stay at a gorgeous villa in Plaka with magnificent panoramic views of the Spinalonga peninsula. The villa is perfectly secluded, offering complete privacy, and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. Our hosts, George and his wife, were wonderful; attentive, responsive, and surprising us with treats like homemade lemon syrup, fresh fruit, and cookies. As guests who appreciate details, we noticed and loved the sweet fragrance of the sheets and towels, the embroidered bedsheets, and the tasteful decor, all of which made a real difference to our experience. We can highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a peaceful, high-quality stay in Crete.

The host went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience – always responsive, friendly, and helpful with local recommendations and anything we needed during our stay. It really made all the difference. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet, and we left feeling completely refreshed.

We had a fantastic stay!

The view is spectacular, and the villa is well stocked with essentials and amenities. The location is great for relaxation, with the Plaka beach only a few minutes away by car. George kindly sent us recommendations for activities all week. A few issues arose -- we had bees at the pool and one day the local town turned off the water for our whole area -- but George was extremely responsive and went the extra mile to sort through the issues for us. Especially the water situation, which was really out of his control. He was in full communications with the municipal utility workers and kept us up to date, even sending us pictures of the repairs in town in real time. He got the water back on for our villas ASAP through a massive effort, including hiring a private plumber to supplement the municipal workers. And he, his wife, and kids brought us home made treats throughout the week, which was absolutely lovely. Really went the extra mile to make our stay wonderful!

Our stay at George’s place in Plaka was absolutely fantastic.

We were more than satisfied and would come back anytime. Plaka itself is a beautiful and charming village – peaceful and full of authentic Greek character. The house was a dream: the spacious terrace and the private pool were so amazing that we hardly wanted to leave the property. Everything we needed was there – a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces – it truly felt like home. George was always available and responded immediately to any questions or concerns. When the pool pump stopped working at one point, it was repaired the very same day. His helpfulness and kindness made our stay even more enjoyable. All in all, it was a wonderful holiday in a place that exceeded all our expectations. Thank you so much, George!

We had a wonderful stay at George's villa.

It is situated just outside of Plaka with fantastic views of Spinalonga and the local surroundings. The view from the terrace/pool is very impressive, the pictures don't do it justice (it's worth getting up for the sunrise). The villa itself is super comfortable and had everything we needed (including homemade treats from George). Plaka itself is a great little seaside town with a beach and plenty of places to eat. We would 100% recommend staying here.

well equipped and in a great location with the most amazing views across to Spinalonga. Best seen from the terrace and pool, although every room has a sea view. Slightly out of the village so really need a car but that wasn’t a problem and we enjoyed popping into Plaka to sample the local restaurant every evening. George was a fantastic host. Lots of lovely touches including homemade delicacies waiting on our arrival and great recommendations, even making our reservation at local restaurant in village in the mountains. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We really couldn’t fault anything about our stay and would highly recommend. Can’t wait to return.

Truly beyond amazing.

Our host, George, was hands down the best host we’ve ever encountered in all our Airbnb stays. He was incredibly kind, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—including making multiple stops for us and even helping coordinate a food delivery to the house. His local recommendations were excellent, and as history buffs, we especially loved learning from him about the rich history of Crete and the surrounding area. The home itself was absolutely pristine—spotless and brand new, having just been built in 2024. And the views? I honestly don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere more beautiful. The infinity pool was a highlight for our whole family and made the experience feel like a dream. We had plans to explore the area more, but the house was so stunning and relaxing that we ended up spending most of our time right there on the property. It was just that good.

We had three fabulous days at George‘s apartment. The view is simply stunning over the bay and sea towards the mountains of eastern Crete and the island of Spinalonga. Although the drive uphill is a bit challenging but it’s totally worth for the view. The apartment is new and very modern with stylish but cosy furnishings. The pool area is very nice and my son had a great time playing in the pool (although a bit cold end of October). George was an excellent host, very friendly and made us felt welcome right from the start. The raki, beverages and fruits were a nice gesture and very much appreciated.

Plaka itself was a nice character, very peaceful and away from the crowds - a nice Gem to find. Plenty to do in the surrounding areas provided you have a car with some of the big cities around ~30 minutes away maximum.

Would recommend you need a hire car too explore the local area.There are lots of good restaurants in nearby Plaka and Elounda just down the coast road. It is possible to walk down the hill into Plaka from villa ,but we drove or used taxis. George gave lots of different restaurant recommendations in area lots of choice from fine dining fish restaurants water front ,to traditional Greek tavernas in the mountain villages. Best supermarket is in Agios Nikolaos but can pick up basic supplies in Plaka and Elounda. We had a great trip and would definitely rebook this Villa .

Es lief von Anfang bis Ende alles makellos ab.

Es lief von Anfang bis Ende alles makellos ab. Die Unterkunft war wunderschön und sieht genauso aus wie man auf den Bildern bereits erkennen kann. George ist ein wirklich hilfsbereiter und sympathischer Mensch, der versucht einem den Aufenthalt so schön wie möglich zu machen. Er hat mir Empfehlungen gegeben und ist auf meine Vorstellungen eingegangen. Er war für mich zu jederzeit zu erreichen und hat mir immer seine Hilfe angeboten falls etwas sein sollte. Für mich persönlich war es ein kurzer aber wirklich sehr schöner Urlaub. Ich kann die Unterkunft wirklich nur weiter empfehlen. Vielen Dank und alles gute!

A perfect villa for staying in Plaka

A perfect villa for staying in Plaka - which was a pleasant 15 min walk to a crystal clear beach with small shops and tavernas. The villa is on a hill so the walk back is a gentle incline but worth the hike! The villa itself was immaculate, clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. We bbq’d most days and enjoyed the incredible view with the complimentary bottle of rosé from George. George was so responsive, helpful and also arranged our airport transfers. The villa felt spacious, stylish and comfortable, making it the perfect retreat for the two of us.

An exceptionally beautiful villa with private pool overlooking the island of Spinalonga and the Mirabello Gulf

An exceptionally beautiful villa with private pool overlooking the island of Spinalonga and the Mirabello Gulf. George is a fantastic host, excellent communicator and was very responsive to any questions we had. He met us in Plaka, provided lots of local information and some very welcome local food and treats. The villa was beautifully designed and finished to a very high standard. It was immaculately clean with excellent bedding, towels, slippers, bathrobes and very comfortable beds. A brilliant terrace with kitchen area enabled us to cook and enjoy fantastic views whilst we ate. We would highly recommend it and will definitely be back to explore this part of Crete further.

The Villa itself is spotless and newly built to a high spec.

The views from George’s Villa are absolutely breathtaking. The Villa itself is spotless and newly built to a high spec. George went to the trouble of making sure we had everything we needed (toiletries, travel cot and bed linen, homemade pastries, marmalade and raki, grocery essentials, etc.). The Villa is incredibly well equipped with everything you could need and it was particularly nice having the Villa cleaned and towels and bed linen changed during our stay. Our stay wasn’t without issues - mostly due to teething problems with it being such a new property - but George was the most responsive and communicative host we’ve ever had. He was quick to respond and resolve the issues we did have. The Villa is slightly less private than we would have liked as it is one of 3 close to each other and parts of the outdoor terrace are overlooked. This didn’t, however, take away from how lovely the outside area is and how much we enjoyed our time there. Thank you for everything, George!

Beautiful villa with amazing view of Spinalonga.

Beautiful villa with amazing view of Spinalonga. The villa is very well equipped and has everything you could possibly need. The pool is lovely as was the outside area. There was water, home made cookies, olive paste, marmalade, coffee, fruits and more when we arrived. George, the owner couldn’t be more helpful and we had an amazing holiday there. We would highly recommend a stay at this villa.

The villa was excellent in every department

If you are looking for a perfect gateway to explore the eastern part of the island, do yourself a favour and look no further. The villa was excellent in every department: crispy clean, luxuriously and very tastefully appointed, great terrace with picturesque views of Spinalonga, and, of course, a very nice outdoor BBQ & pool area. The villa is in a quiet area on a hill just off Plaka and you wake up to amazing unobstructed views of Mirabello Bay landscapes. It gets really entertaining at night as well as you have a 180-degree view for star and moon gazing (full moon over the Bay was truly remarkable!). Exploring neighboring towns is easy and convenient if you have a car. It was a short 12 min drive to Elounda (great village for tavernas and bars) and just 25 min to Agios Nikolaos. There are many great organized beaches in the area. The best part of the villa was the owners. George and Korina went out and beyond to make sure we had everything needed. Thank you, guys! We'll be back!

I highly recommend this villa!

We were the first guests who booked this villa in Plaka in Crete on airbnb and we foubd it brand new. The place was spotless with clean linen and new furniture with a very nice swimming pool and an amazing view of the gulf of Elounda over the village of Plaka looking out to the island of Spinnalonga. George was very helpful and easy to communicate with. His wife Korina and daughter Nefeli brought us Greek treats every morning and were friendly and warm. The best thing about the villa is that is is private and has amazing views that will take your breath away. You will need a car to drive into Plaka village as the nearest shops are some 2km away. The villa is missing a clothes washing machine but Korina was so very kind as to arrange to have my clothes cleaned at laundry in nearbye Plaka. George and Korina are wonderful hosts who put their soul into making their guests feel very welcome. I highly recommend this villa!
