Communication with our host was effortless throughout. On arrival he gave us a very warm welcome and kindly spent time sharing recommendations based on our preferences. The apartment photos are very accurate and we found the place to be extremely clean and well cared for. Providing the basics for the first few days breakfast and samples of local wine and olive oil was a lovely touch. While the toiletries and cleaning essentials just made it like a real home from day one! The apartment is in a raised position which means some effort is needed if you choose to walk back up the hill from town. However, there is always the option of taking the car, which we did on occasion and the great balcony views over the sea once at the apartment make it worth it every time! The location of the apartment was also ideal for exploring other parts of the island and we particularly enjoyed our visits to the beaches to the south. A very relaxing break. Thank you Teo.…Communication with our host was effortless throughout. On arrival he gave us a very warm welcome and kindly spent time sharing recommendations based on our preferences.

Fantastic appartment which was beautifully decorated and cleaned to a very high standard. Wonderful hospitality from the hosts who couldn't do enough to help. The booking page on HomeAway is slightly misleading as it doesn't show all the appartments (14) so you couldn't choose the one you prefer i understand this to be a website error though but is is important for people booking so they know the facilities are shared with a few people. Only thing i would say is that i don't think the place is suitable for families (or at least children over 3) more for the fact it is small and quiet and children like to play especially in the pool and this disturbs other guests.…Fantastic appartment which was beautifully decorated and cleaned to a very high standard.

Wir waren im März in dieser Unterkunft.Wir fanden ein Zimmer,das mit Geschmack und stilvol eingerichtet und dekoriert war.Alles war sauber,sehr gute Matratzen,warmes Wasser.Weil die Witterung sehr kühl war,war der Pool noch nicht geöffnet,aber er hat eine schöne Lage und im ganzen herrschaftlichen Haus finden sich wunderschöne Antiquitäten,nicht zu vergessen,die kleine Kapelle des Hausherrn.Liebevoll gehegte Pflanzen und Blumen schmücken das wunderschöne Anwesen.Parkplatz gibt es fußläufig,ebenso ein Café mit sehr gutem Kaffee. Der Höhepunkt ist aber das Frühstück der Hausherrin Linda: Sie bereitet alles frisch zu,und alles schmeckt sehr sehr gut und kein Mensch kann nach diesem Frühstück noch hungrig sein.Linda ist eine sehr herzliche und offene Gastgeberin. Es ist unkompliziert mit dem Bus von der nahen Haltestelle nach Rtehymnon zu fahren.Vielen Dank Linda…Wir waren im März in dieser Unterkunft.Wir fanden ein Zimmer,das mit Geschmack und stilvol eingerichtet und dekoriert war.Alles war sauber,sehr gute Matratzen,warmes Wasser.Weil die Witterung sehr kühl war,war der Pool noch nicht geöffnet,aber er hat eine schöne Lage und im ganzen herrschaftlichen Haus finden sich wunderschöne Antiquitäten,nicht zu vergessen,die kleine Kapelle des Hausherrn.Liebevoll gehegte Pflanzen und Blumen schmücken das wunderschöne Anwesen.Parkplatz gibt es fußläufig,ebenso ein Café mit sehr gutem Kaffee.

Beautiful villa, well equipped and fantastic views.…

As a three generation family group we all loved this villa. Views from every room, very quiet and no near neighbours. Pool was warm too. Lots of toys and slide provided for our toddler. An easy drive or 15 minute walk to supermarket, pharmacy etc. A note of caution though the stairs were unsuitable for the old (my father had the downstairs bedroom) and the young (ie toddlers or very young children). Rethymno is a 10 minute drive and is a lovely place to wander around. Also lovely taverna in Prines. …As a three generation family group we all loved this villa.

Très belle propriété, quasiment neuve, confortable et conforme en tout point à l'annonce. Accueil bien organisé, endroit très calme. Commerces de proximité à quelques dizaines de mètres (mention spéciale pour la Taverne Christo). Nous avons passé d'agréables vacances dans ce charmant village de Gallos. Toutefois, quelques points sont à réapprécier afin de rendre le séjour de vos futurs clients parfait. Ainsi la vaisselle mise à disposition est plutôt minimaliste et donc bien trop insuffisante (pas de presse-fruits ou de saladier, ...,). J'ai été obligé d'en acheter pour avoir un minimum de confort. La piscine est petite et malheureusement quasiment jamais utilisable car constamment pleine de feuilles (les arbres du voisin auraient besoin d'être taillés avant le début de la saison touristique). L'organisation de la terrasse extérieure (quelque peu étriquée) notamment pour les dîners n'est pas optimale. Elle oblige de nombreux voyages et il faudrait à minima mettre à disposition des plateaux de service. J'aurai aimé que l'on puisse répondre favorablement à ma demande de transfert vers la villa STAR, qui est plus spacieuse, libre sur une bonne partie de mon séjour et qui ne rencontre pas certains désagréments de la villa SUN. Si ces points pouvaient corrigés, je reviendrai sans aucune hésitation…Très belle propriété, quasiment neuve, confortable et conforme en tout point à l'annonce.
