The home was spotless and well equipped. This house is a distance from stores or restaurants so we were very appreciative that the host provided us with some basic groceries. The only problem area with this property is the showers. The downstairs one was unusable. There was no shower curtain and it flooded the bathroom if used. The other shower had a leak. It was clear they had attempted to fix it but it was still leaking. Having supplies on hand to deal with it would have been helpful. Despite the shower issues I highly recommend this property. ##### Karen M.

Die Lage ist etwas abseits, aber traumhaft schön. Sensationeller Blick aufs Meer und die Berge. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden bereits die wichtigsten Dinge für die ersten Tage eingekauft und gratis zur Verfügung gestellt. In dieser Weise habe ich das noch in keiner Ferienunterkunft erlebt. Vielen Dank an Nontas! Der Service von Etouri ist auch hervorzuheben. Anfragen werden schnell und freundlich beantwortet. Die Rückzahlung der Kaution erfolgte schnell. Den in anderen Rezensionen erwähnten Pool haben wir nicht genutzt. Ungeheizt war das Wasser Anfang April dann doch noch zu kalt. Der nächste Ort heißt Agia Galini und ist etwa 20 Minuten entfernt. Dort gibt es kleine Supermärkte und Restaurants. ##### Lutz R.

Den Strand kann man mit dem Auto gut erreichen, nur das Einkaufen ist aufgrund der abgeschiedenen Lage etwas aufwendig. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist geschmackvoll und sehr gepflegt.

Ideal for three adults, and room for a fourth with plenty of space. The villa is very much as pictured in the photos and didn’t disappoint. It is very modern and well equipped with lovely views of the hills. Although the town of Agios Galini is only a 15 minute drive away, the villa is very remote which suited us. Agios Galini has good beaches and supermarkets, restaurants etc. And although the roads in the surrounding area are windy, you soon get used to them. Any problems are quickly sorted out and the service from Etouri Holidays and the owner, Mr Nondas, was friendly and efficient. The villa serviced and cleaned during the week which was very much appreciated. The weather was hot and sunny in August, but we suffered from 3 days of the very strong Cretan Meltemi Winds – however no-one can predict the weather! If we were to return to Crete, we would certainly consider the same location. ##### Julia B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### i b e. 8 Aug 2017 #### Beautiful location, wonderful home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Galini and would return any time our travels take us back to Crete. The house is very much as shown on the pictures. Beautiful all new construction and very comfortably and stylishly furnished. There is ample space for a family of 4 (we have 2 teenagers) but the house is laid out to accommodate 6 if you're OK with 2 sleeping on the living room sofas which are large and comfortable enough for that purpose. Equipment leaves nothing to be desired for either. You will have a fully equipped kitchen so can do reasonable cooking for a 4-6 people family, a washing machine and air-conditioning if needed (we used it sparingly at night when the wind was too strong to leave the windows open). On the terrace there also is a gas BBQ. Furnishings on the terrace allow you to either lounge at the beautiful pool or have an al-fresco meal - the table is a bit small for a full-blown outdoor dining experience but if you're happy with serving food inside and stepping outside to eat, it's wonderful and allows you to enjoy the stunning view over the hills/mountains down to the sea. The location is great if you prefer the quiet and don't mind driving 10-15 min to get to the beaches, dining or shopping. Southern Crete doesn't seem to be the most touristy part of the island, so if you like to step out of your accommodation and be right in the center of the hustle and bustle, this is not the place for you. If however you enjoy quiet, nature, beautiful uncrowded beaches with wonderful cristal clear water and small tavernas with great local food, this is a wonderful place to spend a vacation. The owner and the manager were extremely friendly and helpful with anything that we asked for. Service with the rental included a quick cleaning and change of towels, bathrobes and linens every 3 days as well as pool cleaning. We had a wonderful time. Thank you. ##### i b e.

We was there for 9 days and we loved it. You can find everything what you need inside the Villa and the whole accomondiation was very clean and new. The outside area including a pool is one of the highlights and the view is magical. The owner of the house Mr. Vasilakis and his team are very kind and they organized everything very well. We received a delicious cake and one bottle of red wine by our arrival. We can recommend everyone this really beatiful luxury home. ##### Daniel W. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Alistair J. 4 Jun 2017 #### The villa was lovely but remote. The villa was new and well equipped with a good supply of basic household items. However a car and Satnav is essential as the nearest town is a 20 minute drive. The owner was extremely helpful and arranged for groceries to be there on arrival and even brought a cake and bottle of wine for us. There was only two sun loungers (good quality) which was disappointing for a villa for four. We would recommend the villa if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. ##### Alistair J.
