Villa Medusa is perfect, Nikos the owner is lovely. 5 minute walk to the old village square, the food in the square is very traditional is good value, if you are there on a Monday it’s greek night if you want to eat a decent restaurant you will need to book 2 days in advance.

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!

Convenient hotel close to Chersonisou
Experience was positive, I had a good time in this Hotel and the stuff was helpful. I was expecting a better room, website pictures reference did not correspond exactly and i was a surprise but it was great to have an amazing swimming pool and Chersonisos village just min away from the accomodation.

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.

Hallo Niko, vielen Dank für die netten 6 Tage in Villa Medusa. Nette, kleine Anlage, gut gepflegt, sauberer Pool, sehr freundlicher Umgang. Das Zimmer und die überdachte Terrasse sowie die Aufenthalte am Pool waren Grundlage für schöne Tage und wir beabsichtigen, nächstes Jahr (dann aber für länger) wiederzukommen. Wir melden uns dann.

Auf Kreta zentral an der Nordküste gelegen und verkehrsgünstig angebunden; perfekt für Ausflüge mit dem Auto. Diverse Tavernen im Ortszentrum sind fußläufig in 5 Minuten erreichbar. 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. Nikos ist meist immer anwesend und bei Fragen immer sehr hilfsbereit und spricht auch englisch und deutsch. Die Anlage ist angenehm klein gehalten, perfekt zum Entspannen und Relaxen

Uitmuntende accommodatie
Ontvangst was bijzonder vriendelijk door de eigenaar Nikos. Er stond al een lekkere koele fles water klaar en alvast de mogelijkheid om een heerlijk kopje koffie te zetten. Fantastische bedden en douche "wauw", zelf met een massagekop. Ook de schoonmaak van het appartement was geweldig, door de lieve en behulpzame Heleni. We hebben onze vakantie daar in rust doorgebracht, wat ook hoog in het vaandel staat bij de eigenaar. We al In het kort gezegd "voor iedereen aan te bevelen".
