Air-Conditioned Villa with Private Pool and Gardens Solely for the use of Guests of Aisling Villa

Aisling villa is located in the village of Chamalevri, away from the bustle of the tourist areas but still within 15 mins travelling time if you wish to visit. Hamalevri boasts a local Kafeneon called Romeo and Juliet Meze Bar, serving a wide range of good food all day. There is a small shop in the next village Asteri (5 min walk)where you can get the essentials. Asteri also boasts a museum Taverna and a kafenion (greek pub). Outside living is part of the experience on Crete and we have a 9m x 4m private pool and sun bathing areas with a number of sun loungers and umbrellas. Beside the pool is a covered pergola with associated barbecue area which has an additional small gas cooker to meet all cooking requirements.
We have lemon trees growing in the garden and it is something else to pick a fresh lemon for your gin and tonic.
Aisling Villa is surrounded by beautiful views and walks

Lovely Aisling Villa
We have just returned from Hamelevri and had a lovely holiday at Aisling Villa. The property is completely private and the gardens and pool area are far nicer than the photographs show. It was quite difficult to find in the dark and we were really glad of Carols detailed directions as we couldn’t get a GPS signal when we landed. The welcome pack was really good far more than we expected. The Villa was comfortable and clean and well equipped, we found Richard was very helpful during our stay ( the pool guy).. It is a little tucked away so a car was a must for us, and we were able to visit a few places along the coast and even drove through the mountains to Spili and Plakia on the other coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope we will be able to visit again. Thanks Carol

Late summer in Crete
Property was ideal for us as a couple. Possibly a little "cosy" if 4 adults were there all the time. Quite well equipped, although would benefit from some updating of the furniture in the main living room and some more cutlery to save on the dishwasher. It needs to be stated on the website that the entry to the lane is not suitable for a laden hire car as it is very uneven and we managed to "bottom" the car, on reading the info at the villa it advises that all passengers should get out of the car at the end of the lane - a bit late to read this after arrival! We also thought that some of the greenery around the villa would benefit from a good cutting back as it seemed to be harbouring a lot of biting insects and would also open up the view across the valley. Having said all this we had a lovely 2 weeks, the weather was amazing and we would definitely consider a return visit to this property.

Excellent place for lovely and quiet holiday
If you want to have a good and quiet time but not far away from lively Rethymno you have to go! Lovely house just a few minutes driving to the village. Very private with a big pool. Kitchen equipment for all the cooking needs. Great communication with the owner before and during the stay. We hope to get back next year. Thank you Carol 🌴

Relaxing, wonderful holiday!
Lovely clean and well equipped property. The owners had very kindly provided many provisions, bottles of water, milk, eggs, bread, feta cheese, a bottle of red wine and more, it was very much appreciated as we arrived very late at night! Information about the local shops and restaurants/bars was great and within walking distance. Highly recommend the local restaurants. The pool was cleaned regularly. A Lovely holiday!

Amazing property!
We’ve truly had an amazing stay at Aisling. The house was comfortable and spacious enough for our party of six. Really well equipped and all appliances in working order. Pool towels also provided which I have found lacking from previous properties. Wasn’t expecting air con in the bedrooms so an added bonus in the August heat! The different seating areas around the garden were stunning. Local bars were both great especially when you fancy leaving the car at home and having a drink with your meal! Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend. Thank you Carol and John.

Lovely villa, well-equipped and secluded
We had a great time. The villa was well-equipped with a lovely pool side and outside eating area. There are a couple of nice places to eat within walking distance. We wanted a car-free holiday and it worked very well. The local taxi company was very helpful on the occasion we wanted to venture elsewhere. Although there are other properties around, the villa feels very secluded and the perfect place for a restful holiday.

A lovely private family home , equipped with everything a family could want for a great holiday .
Aishling villa was peaceful, totally private and picturesque. Each room has individual air con units ( very helpful ) lots of books , games , information leaflets and folder about surrounding amenities. The pool is a perfect dept for anyone with children ( 4.5 ft at deep end ) Steve regularly checks and cleans pool and surroundings . The kitchen is well equipped and when we arrived all the necessary food stuffs were in place to start us off which was appreciated . The owners Carol and John were great to deal with . It’s far enough away from all the bustle of a big city but ten min by car takes you into all the action of Rethymno. One suggestion , if you have hired a car leave it parked on the road at the top of the drive because the driveway is very steep and can catch the underside of the car . You will need a car if your coming here but with so many places to visit it’s well worth it . The beaches on this side of the island are beautiful but I would say make sure you have swim footwear for the kiddies as they are mostly pebble beaches .Had a great holiday, we would thouraghly recommend this house and area of Crete . Thank you to our lovely hosts , your home is everything we could have wanted for a great family holiday . Best wishes the Purcell family x

Relaxing home from home retreat
The photos do not do justice to this lovely holiday home. Spacious and comfortable. Delightful garden and lovely pool. Peaceful surroundings with wonderful views from the village. Two great restaurants just a short walk away were an added bonus.
