Built on Plaka Hill, Leste Luxury Homes offer independent, fully-equipped luxury houses with furnished verandas overlooking Souda Bay, the Akrotiri peninsula and gardens. They are a 10-minute walk from Almyrida Beach.

Each villa offers satellite LCD TV, DVD and free Wi-Fi access. Some villas include private swimming pools and hot tub. Luxury Leste Homes offer anti-allergic bathrobes, slippers and towels.

What’s not to like?? Leste is as advertised… LUXURY but at an affordable price. The staff is amazing, welcoming & so helpful. The place was immaculately clean & it felt like being at home. We arrived late & were welcomed with a smile & a bottle of wine. It’s the little things that make this place so special.

Fantastic property with a great location and Michalis the host was extremely helpful and accommodating. We particularly liked the spacious layout of the villa and pool, so that even though we were 8 people there were plenty of areas that we could take time to ourselves, as well as enjoying the lovely communal eating/drinking areas. There is now a 3rd toilet and shower, accessed from the outside, which is an excellent addition to the facilities.

Located in Plaka and only 1.3 km from Vrasco Beach, Plaka House provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This holiday home offers air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. The holiday home features a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk.

Plaka House is worth recommending for many reasons. The host is very friendly and responsive, we did not have any communication problems throughout our stay, and he did his best to make us feel comfortable. The property is very clean, including the kitchen, the toilet and the shower (I am a very sensitive person in relation to hygene, and these are the things I always check first when I enter a new property - absolutely no issues here). We also appreciated the fresh white towels and bed linen changed during our stay, the fresh fruit and the wine. The view on the bay is amazing! It is also important that you have enough privacy, unlike in an apartment. The location was easy to find, as the host provided us with exact location details. The bed might be a little narrow for two persons (if both are XL size), but this was already mentioned in reviews by other guests and was not an issue for us personally, we had enough space for both of us. The house is also very close to a nice restaurant and a mini market, about 5-7 minutes on foot. Our return flight was late in the evening, but the host allowed us to stay after the check-out time without any extra charge. Thank you, Panagiotis, we will definitely return!

    The view was fantastic as the house is a bit higher then the rest of the village. Villa is situated in a private, quiet area. So there is no stress with neighbors. The pool is very nice. Lots of cosy places to chill outside the house. The kitchen was very well equipped.
