We had a fantastic stay in Roumeli. The villa was perfect for our family of four and we especially loved the beautiful views and the pool. The villa is on the edge of a village looking out over olive groves. Very serene and peaceful. We found the beaches at Bali (15 min) were great for kids and teens and the port at Panormos (5min) was a lovely spot for dinner watching the sunset. It was great to have aircon in both bedrooms too and the house had every convenience we could need for a relaxing stay (dishwasher etc). Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday! ##### JENNY H.

What a gem!!We arrived at the property and were overwhelmed by the loveliness of what we had booked. The property is in a quiet village location with wonderful views of mountains and olive groves. The living spaces were spotlessly clean and cool the whole time. The shower was powerful and controllable. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything we needed and cooking was a pleasure. The fridge and freezer are a great size, the washing machine is easy to use and does a great job.The location is great for Rethymno, which we loved and kept going back. Heraklion was also within reach for a day out as well as Chania in the other direction. We visited many of the places recommended by the host including the caves and the wonderful village of Margarites to see the potters at work.The villa is obviously a much loved home from home as well as a rental. It's got those 'home touches' without being cluttered.The host was amazing at communicating and we felt fully informed about the villa facilities and the area. The village map was so helpful on arrival.We enjoyed being surrounded by wildlife & stargazing at night.Only drawback we can think of is there's a lot of stairs. But worth it we think for the tranquility.A car is necessary for this property but roads are in good condition and easy to navigate.Can't recommed this villa too highly! Loved it! ##### Lisa H.

This was not a problem for us(our 17 year old enjoyed the freedom) but might be for others with young children. If you're looking for a relaxed break in a great setting but still near lots of facilities with a lovely pool, air conditioned bedrooms etc then this is the place for you. ##### Chris A.

We had a fabulous time here. We loved having the pool (and aircon in the bedrooms). It was very well stocked for cooking in the villa. The only thing I would say is that we arrived at 23.30 not having had anything to eat or much to drink since about 13.00 and there was nowhere open until late morning on the Sunday. There are 2 supermarkets here where you can get pretty much all you need. I would recommend getting a car because the village is quite remote but once you have, Crete is a beautiful place that is easy to explore with lots to do or time to just chill at this gorgeous villa. ##### tracy m.

We loved the different terasses and the pool where our children were alot.The owner was easy to reach and very helpful. The village Roumeli is very "local" with not many tourists, but small authentic kafenion and within walking distance a local taverna, with good food and stunning sunset view. About 5 minuttes in car from there, the bigger Panormo with nice city-beach, good food everywhere and a calm "not touristy" mood. We loved to come there and it became "our" town. The location is pretty central for sightseeing both the big attractions like Knossos, Chania, Retymno, Spinalonga, but also to roam about on the coastline, mountains villages, food markets and monasteries finding authentic local spots with good tavernas and friendly people. Will highly recommend this:-) ##### Mads Bo P.

Villa Eirene is fantastically located. It has a sense of solitude, overlooking an expanse of olive groves, out towards the mountains. Although the Villa is also well situated, with good access to the E75, proving easy access to the major cities of Chania, Rethynmon and Iralaklion. As a family, we found the villa welcoming and well equipped and a relaxing place to spend time under the Hellenic sun. The swimming pool was well cared for and and larger than average for Crete. A great place to swim, or just to lean over the edge and take in the vista. The veranda is well shaded and cool, with a breeze that is cooling. The guest folder is comprehensive and provides some great suggestions for beaches and cultural attractions. Locally, closely located to the villa, is the small fishing village of Panormos. It has a small beach and some excellent tavernas. Finally, Chris was a great host, a good communicator and attentive. We would not hesitate to return to Villa Eirene in a heart beat. Truly a Hellenic gem. ##### Veronica F.

The villa is perfect for this. It’s so quiet in the neighbourhood and the views from the verandah are stunning. The pool is a great size and we spent most of our time there. Eating out is just a simple short car journey away or the local taverna does some good home cooked food. Decent supermarkets are also a short car trip away. The house itself is cosy and has everything you need. The communication with Chris was first class at all times and his pre-stay info pack is detailed. The internet can be a bit patchy at times but this is a small village in Crete not a big city. All in all we had one of the most relaxing stays we’ve had together anywhere since the children left home 10 years ago. Highly recommended. ##### Simon R.

Endroit calme et vue magnifique sur les oliviers Juste un bémol pour accéder à la villa : 65 marches !!! Ce n’est pas toujours aisé, surtout pas les fortes chaleurs ... Heureusement il y avait la piscine. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour. ##### andre c.

An der Ausstattung fehlte nichts. Wir haben es genossen, von hier aus, Kreta zu erkunden. Besonders zu empfehlen sind Rethymno, Knossos, Melidoni, Margarita, Imbrosschlucht sowie die Strände in Bali und Spilies zum schnorcheln. Kleines Manko: relativ harte Betten und viele Stufen zum Haus. Wir empfehlen es gerne weiter. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit mit Tipps zur Umgebung. ##### Anja G.

Mooi huis, mooie locatie. De kleine ongemakken/tekortkomingen (kapotte lamp, zwembad) zijn snel verholpen. ##### Annuska G.

Our flight was delayed, and we struggled to find it in the dark - luckily we accidentally drove to Stefano's house and he very kindly led us to the villa. What a wonderful surprise when we woke up the next morning, and saw the beautiful view across the olive groves - magical. Our kids loved the pool, and we loved Crete. There are a couple of lovely cafes in Roumeli and you have to have dinner at Taverna Roumeli - so welcoming, and great food. We loved our 2 weeks of relaxing and exploring the area - so many lovely places to enjoy Rethymno, Plakias, Panormo to name just a few. The villa is very well equipped. There are 3 terraces so always somewhere shady to escape to, or somewhere to sunbathe, or somewhere to escape your family. A couple of things to bear in mind - there are a lot of steps - no problem for us but if you have mobility issues, or very small children, this might not be for you. The third bedroom is a self contained unit that cannot be accessed from inside the main villa, it has its own access and staircase - once again perfect for us, our daughter loved her own space. If you're looking for somewhere to relax and explore Crete - this villa is perfect. We hope to come back one day. ##### Laura H.

Alle Orte mit dem Auto relativ schnell erreichbar. Top Lage! Chris hatte immer schnell auf unsere Fragen reagiert und schnell beantwortet! Für einen Urlaub mit Ruhe bestens weiter zu empfehlen.
