The villa was very well equipped and although you need a car whilst staying in this villa (not many paths down to the town) it’s a very quick journey to get to where you need and plenty of parking in Rethymno too. The pool was perfect for my little boy and I could barely keep him out of it. My mum stayed in the annex so she had some space to herself so this was ideal. Highly highly recommend staying at this villa, especially families. ##### zoe woodfall B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian H. 7 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing villa with great hospitality The villa is simply great. We loved everything about it. Pool, jacuzzi, table tennis, minigolf, playground, everything is just like on the pictures. It is the perfect familiy & friends get-away. We spend 10 days there together with friends and our little daughter. She loved the playground and especially the swing. Its location in the hills makes it a very quiet and private get-away. No other houses nearby so you have all the nature and surrounding by yourself. The villa is close to Rethymno (5-10min drive) so if you don't want to cook, it is an easy drive to the old town which has many nice restaurants. The beach is in similar distance. A car is however required for easy access as there is no public transport and the villa is in the hills. Moreover, the villa is a good base if you want to go hiking. Furthermore, the great hospitality of the owners has to be mentioned. Communication with the owners was super easy and they responded very quickly. We got a nice surprise when we arrived. Moreover, whenever there was a problem, they reacted immediately. There is also a garden nearby with all kinds of fruits and vegetables (oranges, limes, lemones, pomegrenates, tomatoes, paprikas and more), all of which we were allowed to use. Special thanks to Maria and her family for making our vacation very unforgetable. We certainly will come back! ##### Christian H. Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna O. 9 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So much fun! We stayed in Rethymno for 2+ weeks and had the most wonderful time. The property is nice, clean, and has a ton of comfortable sitting opportunities outside to enjoy the absolutely beautifully designed and landscaped outdoor space. The benefit of the property is that is has two fully separate living spaces, which is a nice advantage if you are traveling with a larger group or family. The drawbacks are definitely the location (if you prefer to be close to town), and so you absolutely need a car to go anywhere and can't simply walk to grab a coffee or something from the bakery. On the flip side, you do have your privacy because you are away from town. A couple things that we learned while we were there is that you have to communicate upfront with Ms. Maria about when she and/or her dad come to the property. They have to water the plants, lawn and flowers daily, so if you want to have privacy during certain times, you have to communicate that. A couple of things that were small drawbacks to the property were the cicadas and the large electricity transmission tower right by the house. The cicadas start their sound-making early in the morning and continue throughout the day/evening, so you have to be ok with that. As for the electricity transmission tower - if you are sensitive to any of that, it could possibly be a deal-breaker to choosing the property. I personally don't care but my mom is very sensitive to such things and she had a hard time with the proximity of the tower to the property. Overall we loved and enjoyed our stay and I would recommend the property while taking into considerations some of the things that were not clear from the property description. One perk that I would recommend if you chose to stay there is the massage therapist Maria. There is a flyer in the house for her services and she comes to the property with her own massage table and all. You can reach her via WhatsApp and we truly enjoyed getting pampered with awesome and reasonably-priced massages and pedicures while we were there. ##### Anna O.

Wir waren eine Woche in dieser schönen Villa, es war soweit alles super. Die Gastgeber empfingen uns mit einem kleinen Schnaps zur Begrüßung, in beiden Kühlschränken waren jeweils zwei Bier kalt gestellt und reichlich Obst für die ganze Familie. Weiter hatten wir Getränke und kleine Gebäckstücke. Unsere zwei Jungs (2 und 4 Jahre) hatten eine Mänge Spaß mit den Spielsachen die vor Ort bereit gestellt wurden. Auch wir Erwachsenen kamen auf unsere Kosten beim Minigolf oder Tischtennis. Auch der Abendliche Saunagang rundete einen Perfekten Tag am Pool ab. Leider funktionierte der Jakuzzi nicht problemlos. Das Aufheizen des Wassers war leider nicht möglich. Beim Versuch die Heizung für den Jakuzzi zu starten ist leider die Sicherung im Haupthaus angesprungen und wir saßen im Dunkeln. Nachdem wir die Sicherung wieder eingeschaltet haben entschlossen wir uns den Jakuzzi nicht zu nutzen. Uns ist aufgefallen, dass er undicht ist und Wasser in die Elektrik läuft. Hier sollte nachgebessert werden, um den Jakuzzi auch nutzen zu können. An Sonaten war aber alles wirklich perfekt. Vielen Dank für eine Tolle Urlaubwoche in dieser schönen Villa. ##### Patrick P.

Wir wurden mehrmals mit Gebäck überrascht, kleine Probleme wurden sofort gelöst und auch bei der Urlaubsgestaltung hatten wir kompetente Hilfe. Die Villa ist sehr schön gelegen. Strände, Restaurants und Rethymnos Altstadt sind in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. ##### Steffen K.

Maria war sehr aufmerksam und kleine Probleme wurden sofort gelöst und sie war immer schnell erreichbar und sehr zuvorkommend. Das Haus und die Umgebung waren sehr sauber. Verschiedene Strände sind in kurzer Zeit erreichbar. Der Episkopi Beach hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die besten Restaurants haben wir in der Altstadt in Rethymno gefunden, sehr empfehlenswert. ##### Susanne B.

We were a party of 9, from age 9 to adult. The outside area is really well kept, with lots of places to eat and relax. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The owners were friendly and helpful, and brought lovely treats for us to enjoy - thank you :) The area of Rethymno is a pleasure, in particular the old town, with nice restaurants and no English breakfasts in sight :) You definitely need a car to enjoy the area, especially in the heat. Thank you for a lovely stay - we hope to be back to Crete very soon! ##### Louise G.

Die Villa besteht aus zwei Teilen, einen grösseren und einen kleineren Teil. Wir waren insgesamt 9 Personen, davon 6 Erwachsene und 5 Kinder zwischen 5 und 10 Jahren. Der einzige Abzug gibt es bei der Anzahl möglicher Personen, welche in der Villa übernachten können. Im kleinen Teil gibt es ein Doppelbett und ein ausziehbares Sofa, wo nochmals zwei Personen übernachten können. Die Wohnung ist jedoch sehr klein und wenn das Bettsofa ausgezogen ist, ist nicht mehr viel Platz vorhanden. Darum würden wir im kleinen Teil 2 Personen (statt 4) angeben. Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden und die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt. Liebe Grüsse Therese + Simon ##### Therese B.

De eigenaresse (Maria) en haar vader zijn meer dan gastvrij en de villa heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en dan nog meer: een jacuzzi, een extra huis met douche en slaapkamer, midgetgolf, tafeltennis, zwembad, en dat alles op Prive terrein. In 1 woord: geweldig! ##### Nico K.

The villa was well appointed with everything you could need to create a home from home. The outside area is possibly the villa's best feature with many different areas offering sun or shade ~ a lovely pool and grounds which were well maintained. The owners were very hospitable with gifts from home, produce from the villa's garden and treats from the local bakery. Local beaches and restaurants are only a short drive away. A very chilled out holiday. ##### Tracey L.

The setting was perfect, peaceful and very private but only a short drive to beach, shopping and nightlife in rythymno. The grounds with the Orchards next door were so nice we ended up having barbecues and sitting in the garden most evenings. It was the perfect location for families with children or to squeeze in a larger or extended family, grandparents etc. We enjoyed the hammocks and swings in the garden and the pool was great and regularly cleaned and checked. We have already made plans to return next year. Thanks for an exceptional holiday that exceeded expectations! ##### Stewart F. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sea View Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Sea-View-Hotel-Apartments.h5370708.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimondi Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Rimondi-Grand-Resort-Spa.h4925255.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Nautilux-Rethymno-By-Mage-Hotels.h74521177.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Rithymna Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Aquila-Rithymna-Beach.h1851789.Hotel-Information) > > [Milia Mountain Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kissamos-Hotels-Milia-Mountain-Retreat.h44764680.Hotel-Information) > > [Moonlight Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Moonlight-Hotel.h19477661.Hotel-Information) > > [Koni Village Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Koni-Village-All-Inclusive.h8415383.Hotel-Information) > > [Enorme Santanna Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ierapetra-Hotels-Enorme-Santanna-Beach.h44438252.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Atlantis Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heraklion-Hotels-Aquila-Atlantis-Hotel.h67282.Hotel-Information) > > [Petra Mare - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ierapetra-Hotels-Petra-Mare-All-Inclusive.h2144254.Hotel-Information) > > [Sitia Beach City Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sitia-Hotels-Sitia-Beach-City-Resort-Spa.h1674729.Hotel-Information) > > [Arminda Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Arminda-Hotel-Spa.h10630918.Hotel-Information) > > [Oscar Suites & Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Oscar-Suites-Village.h5328930.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Domes-Zeen-Chania.h25749963.Hotel-Information) > > [Kedrissos Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Kedrissos-Hotel-Apartments.h16414878.Hotel-Information) > > [Apollonia Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Apollonia-Beach-Resort-Spa.h1522111.Hotel-Information) > > [Amirandes, A Grecotel Resort to Live](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Amirandes-Grecotel-Boutique-Resort.h1862564.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiani Beach Resort Family](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Kiani-Beach-Resort-Family-All-Inclusive.h3998357.Hotel-Information) > > [Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort Crete, Curio Collection Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ierapetra-Hotels-NUMO-Ierapetra-Beach-Resort.h7782201.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Heights Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Village-Heights-Resort.h14931312.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiramis Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Semiramis-Village.h10623973.Hotel-Information) > > [Crete Golf Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Crete-Golf-Club-Hotel.h22748806.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimondi Boutique Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Rimondi-Boutique-Hotels.h4564685.Hotel-Information) > > [Galaxy Hotel Iraklio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heraklion-Hotels-Galaxy-Hotel-Iraklio.h72370.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Holiday-Resort.h12318649.Hotel-Information) > > [Veneziano Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heraklion-Hotels-Veneziano-Boutique-Hotel.h18108299.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel LUXME White](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Grecotel-LUXME-White-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2573709.Hotel-Information) > > [Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Princess-Suites.h19806167.Hotel-Information) > > [Anastasia Hotel Stalis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Anastasia-Hotel-Stalis.h1368515.Hotel-Information) > > [Caramel, A Grecotel Resort to Live](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-CARAMEL-Grecotel-Boutique-Resort.h8421076.Hotel-Information)
