kitchen

The apartments are well appointed and very spacious. They're clean and offer exceptional views of the surrounding area. The pool is inviting and the architecture of the place really impressive. These villas have been built with an eye to quality which makes it odd that the beds are so terribly hard. And, they offer enough in the way of kitchen utensils so you really can self-cater. There's also a washing machine! I would think the villas would suit families or groups looking to stay in this out of the way part of Crete for a week or more.

They are rather difficult to access however. There are two ways of getting to the villas. Both involve driving on unmade roads (a problem if you have a hire car with a no off-road driving clause). One of the ways of getting to the villas is downright dangerous. The track is steep and deeply rutted. Our little hire car struggled to cope (as did we!). This road is just not viable. If not for a helpful couple who we happened upon while trying to negotiate this track, we would have abandoned all hope that anything decent lay at the end of that road. The owner really should provide some information about access to the property to prospective clients so they can make an informed choice. Moreover, there should be some explicit instructions provided to guests BEFORE they arrive about how to access the villas via the less hair-raising route! Be warned that GPS takes you down the hair-raising route. I also found it odd that we did not see the owner at all during our stay. We had to use international roaming to call him when we arrived in order to gain access to the building and then again in order to negotiate how to pay. There was no option but to use credit card under these circumstances. All in all, these calls add to the cost of the place.

Beautiful but remote

It is truly wonderful - peaceful and quiet, very relaxing. Breathtaking seaview, olive trees that you can reach from your big terrace. The kitchen has more equipment than you will need during your stay (although they do not provide olive oil nor spices - so bring your own). Really elegant and comfortable. One disadvantage which is at the same time a valuable asset is accesibility - the road is narrow and steep sometimes, but the place is worth all the trouble. I suppose it is better not to choose the middle villa (located directly in front of the pool) but even if you get that one - you will enjoy! It is true that you won't find any shops around so come prepared ;-) If you want to eat in one of the tavernas I recommend Vasilis (white one) on the Triopetra beach - sardines and calamares are delicious.

splendid place

I stayed with my family in this beautiful villa for 5 nights. The villa where we stayed is one of the three in the complex. Our villa is on two levels, with two bedrooms and the main bathroom on the upper floor, and dining, living and a toilet on the bottom floor. The kitchen is fully equipped. A swimming pool is shared with the other guests of the complex: it is small but offers a superb view over the Libyan see. We enjoyed the warm welcome by Nikos, and the products of his work: oil, honey, and fruit. The Lititiana villas are located on the hill just above the beautiful beach of Triopetra, surrounded by olive trees. It is a quiet place to relax, and is close to numerous fine beaches of the Cretan south coast. Triopetra is not really a village, but just a collection of farming houses and vacation villas spread on the hill. Several tavernas are available to have good meals, but for the other services (like grocery shopping) you have to go to Spili, the nearest large village, which is about 25 min drive from Triopetra. So you better buy the supplies for your stay on your way to Triopetra, and then enjoy the silence and peace of the villa, and the beautiful starry nights. The beach of Triopetra is just 10 min drive from the villa, while other beaches are within 20 to 60 min drive. A car is needed for your stay, and the villa is not indicated for disabled people.

Nice stylish villa

The owner is much more concerned about his money than the wellness of its guests !
We had the inconvenience to lock us outside the villa the night we arrived because of a slamming front door. Once there, the owner, rather than listening to our advice and breaking a small window preferred to undertake smashing the lock with a drill and a circular saw ! Conclusion: we waited in the cold in swimsuit until 3am before the man, irritated, eventually broke a tile. At 145€ per night we told him that his attitude was unacceptable and that we will leave in the morning. He immediately charged our account for the whole three-nights stay we had booked (435€). A real shame.

A magnificent property ruined by a dishonest owner

Impeccably maintained villa, breathtaking views of the sea and the mountains, idyllic pastoral setting, very friendly and helpful host.  Highly recommended.

Two observations to consider:
1) The closest supermarket supermarket is about 30 mins by car.  That said, cafes on the coast provide decent food at a reasonable price.  We dined there for all our meals.
2) Villa has only one shower facility, which might be inconvenient if two couples (or more than 2-3 people) are staying.  There is a single toilet on the bedrooms' floor, and an additional toilet (no shower) on the ground floor.
