Tranquillity and comfort
Our stay at the villa was very enjoyable & relaxing. The host family was extremely welcoming, attentive & generous - we enjoyed some lovely homemade meals. The villa was well- serviced. We enjoyed the large comfortable bed & found the villa, in general, well-appointed & comfortable - good air-conditionimg & appliances were much appreciated. Our pool, in the lower villa, did not enjoy the privacy we expected as the villa above has a good view of it, but this wasn't really an issue. We enjoyed the tranquility of the mountain setting & being 20 minutes from a supermarket & other facilities was fine. The proximity to Rethymno is good. Villa Harkia would be a good choice for your holiday in Western Crete.

This was the most relaxing place that we have stayed. It was so tranquil and very nicely appointed. I had the best sleeps! It is totally lovely to sit out in the sun with your morning coffee and listen to the birds, goat bells and insects.

a little piece of heaven
I cannot recommend this place enough. A very spacious and well equipped villa in a peaceful location yet well positioned for day trips out to local sights. The family were wonderful hosts and were attentive to our needs. The villa was very clean and the air conditioning a welcome relief after a day in the sun. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and privacy surrounding the villa which meant we could really relax and enjoy our stay. We also were treated to some lovely homemade goodies which made our stay extra special. THANK YOU ! XX

Wonderful peaceful location
We have just returned from a wonderful two week stay in this beautiful villa, in the most peaceful location. During the present climate, this was just what we needed to escape a little, and wind down on this lovely laid back island. The villa was immaculately cared for, cleaned twice a week during our stay, and we were supplied with a meal on arrival, and further gifts of cakes and olive oil. The pool was a delight, the beds comfortable, and we have absolutely no regrets over our stressful lead up to our decision on wether to go ahead with this holiday. Many thanks to Irini and family.

VillaThimari Beautiful !
We have recently returned from three weeks at the wonderful Villa Thimari .We usually rent a villa for our summer break and we have stayed in some lovely places . However this was far and away the best experience we have had. .Irini and her lovely parents did everything they possibly could to make us welcome providing a delicious home cooked meal on our arrival and bringing us wine olive oil cakes and scrumpy cakes. The villa was stylish but comfortable with everything you could possibly need .The roof terrace was perfect for stargazing and watching the buzzards circle and the swallows diving for a drink .The peace and quiet was a wonderful gift for us (Living in Central London) and the views were spectacular. We havent visited Crete for many years and had forgotten how hospitable generous and kind the Cretan people are, Wewill not leave it so long next time. Thank you for making our stay so memorable .Would recommend Crete and your beautiful villa every time. The Bennetts
