A stunning villa with a steady walk of around 10 minutes to the shops and beach. The welcome we received from Julietta on our arrival was so lovely. A tour of. The villa, a welcome basket of food and some wine and juice were perfect for a quick reset, before walking to the supermarket. Clean rooms and gorgeous pool. The housekeepers came during our stay to bring fresh towels and a tidy. Thank you to them. The transfer taxi was recommended by the team and Vasili was so accommodating and very happy. Would recommend this villa. Maybe hire a car if you fancy visiting further towns, but we used the same transfer firm to take us to Rethymno. A very enjoyable holiday and weather to match. Thank you to the team there x

Sehr schöne Villa, mit allem was man benötigt

Schöne Villa, in netter Umgebung mit allem was man braucht. Einziges Manko: es befindet sich eine laute Straße vor dem Haus, man gewöhnt sicher aber daran.

Familienurlaub

Wir haben in der Villa einen schönen Familienurlaub gehabt. Die Ausstattung und der Pool waren traumhaft, dieser wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Zum Strand waren es nur wenige Minuten, so dass wir auch das Mittelmeer genießen konnten. Mit den Mietwagen haben die nähere Umgebung entdecken können. Es war ein schöner Urlaub in der Think Villa Agapi.
