Lovely villa in central Crete
This villa is just as shown in the pictures. It’s located in a small village with well stocked supermarkets and a couple of tavernas all within easy walking distance from the villa. About 15 minutes drive to Rethymno or 30 minutes to the South coast. The management company we’re excellent and easily contactable via WhatsApp or on the house phone. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend this lovely villa.

Best Place for a Vacation of a Lifetime
The easiest process: from reserving the property, communicating with the owner, checking in and out. The 24 hour concierge service, who spoke English, was a plus. The house is just as described and could probably fix 10 people, although we were only 4. Two stayed in the downstairs daylight unit and my husband and I stayed in the main house. Three bathrooms (2 with showers and 1 with a tub) gave us plenty of time to get ready. The house is located in a little village with the sweetest people. Several restaurants, a Taverna, an upscale bakery, two supermarkets, a hair salon and a daycare. All with in a 6 minutes walk from the house. The house is about 15 minutes from the city (12 when you get used to driving “Greek” style). With plenty to do, lovely beaches and great seafood. It is also about 30 minutes from the south side of the island where you will find more restaurants and quieter beaches. I loved the home and felt very welcomed from the items in the welcome basket to the monogrammed sheets and towels. We woke each morning to a rooster, or 3, became friends with a few goats and a very vocal sheep, and greatly enjoyed the company of two young cats. First class all the way. I can’t wait to get back.

Wir haben wundervolle 2 Wochen in der Villa verbracht.
Die Villa ist ruhig gelegen. In der Nähe gibt es einen Bäcker, Taverne und einen kleinen Supermarkt. Nach Rethymnon fährt man 15 Min. Die Villa ist toll, sehr sauber, bequeme Betten und verfügt über alles, was man benötigt. Es wird alle drei Tage gereinigt und der zauberhafte Garten gepflegt. Leider gibt es für die Liegen und Stühle auf der Terrasse keine Auflagen. Das war unser einziges kleines Manko. Am meisten werden wir jedoch das kleine grau-weiße Kätzchen vermissen. Wir haben sie Schnucki getauft und wir hoffen sehr, dass es ihr gut ergehen wird. Das Team von etouri ist sehr bemüht den Urlaub zu verschönern und steht stets für Fragen und Unterstützung zur Verfügung. Sogar ein Geburtstagskuchen wurde orgabisiert und der Einkauf für den ersten Tag. Danke an Adonis für Alles! Daniela & Familie
