In the village about 5 mins away there were 3 places to eat. We only ate at the restaurant that the owner recommended but it was so good we went 3 times. As a family it was a lovely villa to relax in and the outside area was gorgeous. It was a 10 min drive to a Lidl and the supermarkets in the village were well stocked.

Everything was perfect, I couldn’t recommend this place more! When I come back to Crete I will definitely be staying here again, I couldn’t ask for more!

Villa was with a beautiful view. Big terrace with pool and jacuzzi. We paid extra for pool to be heated and it was a brilliant idea beacause of the weather. Villa is very good equipped and was very clean. Small town near with some good restaurant. We enjoyed our stay very much!

There is really nothing for us to dislike.

Although the location of the Villas was away from the city center, the view from the Villas was excellent. What we really liked were the Swimming Pool and Jacuzzi. The facilities inside were very good, everything was in order. The hosts were very much responsive, very neat and quite place. We are seriously thinking about making Crete and this Villa as our vacation spot every year. Weather was excellent even in 3rd week of October this year, so we had an awesome time. Thanks!!

Amazing! the outside space is huge, great views by day and beautifully lit at night. Very private, not overlooked. Host met us and was very welcoming - we appreciated the lovely gifts! Well appointed, even two coffee machines, great cooking facilities including BBQ - perfect for a relaxing day. The pool is wonderful, cleaned every day, and outside area swept daily - staff so helpful and attentive. Loved the hot tub, especially at night with the changing lights, listening to music. Weather wasn't great, but it didn't matter at all, the villa was so perfect we enjoyed every minute. Will be back one day!

More of an observation than a complaint, but the roads around the villa/village took a bit of getting used to with the car! We also walked into the village on a couple of occasions to go out for dinner, and the road back to the villa is really steep (especially when it was still 30 degrees Celsius at midnight!), however, jumping in the pool for a midnight swim was utterly amazing!

The villa was clean and cool, the outside pool area was wonderful and the views were stunning! Collecting the keys was very straightforward after a long and stressful journey from the UK. The restaurants in the village were amazing (Staras was really nice!), and it was a reasonably short car trip into Rethymno. Probably the nicest holiday I've ever been on, and a large part of that was having this beautiful villa as our base! Thank you for having us :)

The beds are too soft.

3rd time at Kallixeni Villas. Nice villas, wonderful view and everything you need nearby (Tavernas, groceries, Beaches). Everything perfectly cleaned. Very friendly staff.

The bed. We stayed 3 nights and it was more than enough for my back. If our stay would have last a bit longer, I would have slept directly on the floor

The view was perfect.

nothing - I should have booked longer

the view and the privacy with your own pool

The only thing i didnt quite like is that we had to leave again :( You cannot fault the Villas in and I am only worried when word gets round, that the Villas will always be fully booked, and we cant book anymore :)

We had an absolutely AMAZING stay for 2 weeks! The Villas are just like on the pictures, if not nicer! If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, this is it! Absolutely quiet and relaxing! Finally we found a Villa that really ticks all the boxes. Communication from the moment of booking was seamless. Check -in absolutely wonderful - got greeted with welcome gifts in the Villa (Water, wine, Raki!) . Everything is spotlessly clean. The Villa is of a higher standard and has lots of little touches that make you feel like you are at home. A very well equipped kitchen. Everything is there what you can possibly need. The lovely cleaning ladies came by every 3rd day to clean and refresh towels. TV in the living room and the bedroom. We had a hire car, but found it difficult to explore the Island as that meant we had to leave the Villa :)! You just want to stay and enjoy it!! A really nice beach is just 10 minutes drive away - and if you head the other direction to Rethymno, its just as lovely for dinner and exploring. The little Town in Gerani, which is about 5-10 minutes walk away, has lovely tavernas with delicious food. But we also stayed in the Villa and made our own dinner and enjoyed the evening outside with a bottle of wine. And about previous reviews i read about the Beds that are too soft: I have chronic back pain and only just had a fresh slipped disc in my spine a few months ago. So i was a bit worried when i read the reviews where people said the bed was too soft. However, we found the bed absolutely comfortable and great. Soft but not too bad! No issues with my back at all! Kallia made our stay just perfect. She was so responsive, usually got a response within a minute of texting her when i had a question whilst we were there. Thank you very much for your hospitality and we are in no doubt coming back!!!

Very clean, amazing view, very polite staff, privacy - everything you need for a great vacation. The small village is authentic - has nice restaurant and a good bakery.

We had issues with electricity, one night it was off in one room. One time it was off for whole house. It was quickly fixed but definitely we experienced some difficulties. For this money we prefer not to have it at all. The pool was cold for 2 days. For third day it was ok due to hot weather.

The pool, the jakuzzi was amazing. Quiet nice area in village Gerani. When we checked in we found a bottle of wine, tsoureki, and fruits which was very surprising. The bed is super convenient. We had a lot of towels which is big advantage when you use pool and jakuzzi. We found also washing powder and dish washing tablets which is useful when you travel with family.

Everything was amazing

The property was perfect for our family. We loved the private pool and view
