It is immaculate, and has wonderful facilities- with swimming pool, terraces, pool table and table tennis. The villa is located in a gorgeous village with fantastic, family run tavernas that were outstanding value and on a beautiful setting. The cove at the bottom of the hill is also lovely for a swim - though there are no parasols/loungers. We used the recommended taxi service as well to travel to Rethymno and they were very reliable too. Overall, an exceptional villa. ##### Victoria E.

This clean and well equipped accommodation offers you enough space and everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Every morning we could enjoy our morning coffee/tee on a spacious and sunny terrace with sea view. Our kids loved the pool and used it almost everyday right after breakfast. The pool table and table tennis were a nice extra, too. We had a warm welcome and were amazed and thankful for the huge welcome basket and a fridge filled with lots of foods to start with. Thanks you, Kostas - a very nice host and always there when you need help. We can totally recommend this villa. ##### thi hao n.

The pictures are exactly showing how wonderful this house is. Nice rooms and roomy kitchen with all you need to cook with your family. The outdoor area is truely amazing and a great place where our family hung out during our two week stay. The pool area is the best we\`ve seen so far! And the host: absolutely the best! Really friendly greeting at arrival with nice tour of the house. The biggest surprise: they had filled the refrigerator with juice, water, milk etc. + a big basket of fruit + basket of greek specialities! Really nice of them!

Very friendly, welcoming and full of local knowledge and information to guide us for our holiday. The villa was full of food when we arrived - a fridge full of delicious food and an amazing hamper too. The villa was amazing, comfortable beds, plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen, super comfortable sun loungers, a huge bbq, great outdoor space and equipped with everything you could possible need. The pool was great with a deep and shallow end for the children. We came in May so the pool was a little chilly at first but it didn’t stop the children diving in at every opportunity. The villa was cleaned once a week with fresh linen and plenty of towels along with beach towels also. The local supermarket, taverns and bus stop into the town were just a short 10 minute walk away up the hill. Again we came slightly out of season so these areas were very quiet and just getting prepared for the tourism but we did use these restaurants a couple of times and they were nice. Taxi company was great with taking us into the town of an evening and collecting us when we were ready to return. Several local beaches around which were also lovely with lots of places to eat, drink and relax. We had a great time as a family of 7 staying in Elmyra Villa. Highly recommended - Thank you 😊 ##### Adam L.

Einkaufsmöglichkeiten 2 min im Market entfernt oder bei mehr Auswahl Lidl in ca 1,5 km Richtung Rethymno entfernt. Die Villa ein Traum. Alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Einen herzlichen Empfang durch den Hausverwalter Hr Kosta. Schon im Vorfeld hat man sich nach unsere Ankunftszeiten erkundigt und wir bekamen eine Führung durchs Haus. Ein Willkommenskorb und ein gefüllter Kühlschrank waren „die Kirsche auf der Sahne“. Einfach Badeanzüge an und ab an den Pool. Auch der Vermieter meldete sich noch am selben Tag und erkundigte sich nach uns. Im Ganzen: ein traumhafter Aufenthalt, jeder Cent wert! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Dank an den Vermieter. ##### Delia Z.

Der tolle Aussenbereich mit Pool, Grill, Billard und Tischtennis hat uns auch sehr gut gefallen und wurden ausgiebig genutzt.

The owner was waiting for us when we arrived even though our flight arrived late at night. We were amazed by the villa which had everything you could possibly need for a holiday. Not only that, but there was a substantial welcome package left for us. The villa is well maintained and very clean. We did hire a car but only used it for one shopping trip and to transfer from the airport, finding the local bus service to Rethymno very good. However, the process of collecting the car which was organised through HomeAway was very easy. We would definitely recommend this villa to other people. ##### Helen T.
