    Absolutely perfect, beautiful villa

    Only thing I can think of was no oven gloves and no towels to dry the dishes (dishwasher didn’t clean too well so we washed up instead but nothing to dry them with) but to be honest who cares when the villa is amazing

    It was perfect in everyway. The pool was big a larger than other villas we’ve been too and we all loved it

    It's not the host's fault, but I'll mention this - we stayed for 7 days and suffered from noise for three of them. There were local festivals in the town and in stadium for three nights. They started singing at 10pm or even midnight and the music noise went on until the early hours of the morning. We couldn't sleep for two nights in a row, even closing the windows didn't help. I don't know if it was a coincidence or if there are music nights in this area every few days. If you came for a holiday and to rest, so then this is a nuisance.

    The villas were very well equipped, quality materials and furniture, comfortable to live in, the pool area is great, thoughtful shaded. We lived comfortably and cozy. In the villas You can find everything - from spoon, to washing machine. The environment is rustic, wild and domestic animals and birds graze. Konstantina Frantszeska promptly explained everything and solved rised problems according to coffee making machine. Easy to reach beaches, tavernas or grocery by car from villas.

    We could have used some oven gloves for each kitchen. The location was quite rural and the distance from all nearby attractions was far.

    Polite workers and good hygiene within the villa upon arrival. The host was very welcoming and understanding when we had to leave later on our last day.

    Amazing peaceful retreat with an amazing scenery!

    I would definitely recommend the property and would go back. However, be aware that if you plan many day trips to the west coast, past Chania, the time distance is big! To go to the pink beach is almost a 2.5 hour trip each way! Chania is about an hour. Anywhere west of Chania will take you a while, despite short distances given the small windy roads. But Rethymno is only a 10 min drive.

    It was extremely spacious and very comfortable for a group of friends. There was a lot of space to chill, around the pool, the balconies or the outdoor bbq area. We had a chef come in one night and the charcoal bbq and outdoor set up was perfect for the occasion. Also, the wifi was outstanding! It worked all the way to the bbq area, which was far from the house but made it convenient to work outside. We also really appreciated the mid-week cleaning, which was as if we had just walked in the property. The place was clean, with plenty of dishes and glasses for everyone. The area was extremely quiet and peaceful.

    Some of the roads our satnav directed us to were very narrow.

    It was exactly like the pictures and bigger than I expected. Clean and well looked after I loved the offer to get groceries for us which were in the fridge when we arrived. Such a thoughtful and much appreciated gesture. Cleaners came in twice in the week we were there plus a window cleaner, pool person and gardener 15 mins drive to Rethymno.do visit the old fort, the old town and the harbour and beach. Go inland and see some of the towns. We drove to the south coast too. Phaistos is much less crowded than Knossos. We walked up Mili gorge and had lunch in the Taverna at the top. Had a fab week..thanks

    I have nothing to say here, the property has everything, it is beautifully designed for a perfect holiday stay

    The location and set up of the property was exceptional, the pool was perfect - exactly what we needed. The facilities are excellent and enabled us to experience Crete at its best. Clean, quiet, and with everything one might need to make the holiday truly a memorable one, the host was helpful and respectful -we will be re-visiting this property for sure.

    Serene and tranquil luxury a few km from pretty Rethymnon town.

    Great location a few km from Rethymnon. However, it was not possible to walk anywhere from the property and the neighbouring property had a few intimidating dogs.

    The apartment was absolutely luxurious, spotlessly clean and cleaned throughout our stay. The pool and outdoor entertaining areas were 5* and the house was generously proportioned with plenty of towels. The aircon was very effective as there was a heat wave during our visit. Constantina was very responsive and attentive. She provided us with a lovely hamper on arrival and made helpful recommendations.

    We did not want to leave

    We met our very professional host to pick the keys up for both beautiful villas for a family wedding for 21 people. Francesca was lovely and showed us round asking us only....treat my home with respect.....not a lot to ask. We had no rules on pools, kitchens, rooms or anything else. Each room is beautiful, the outside area is stunning and a complimentary BBQ lighting pack is there ready. The cleaners are in twice in a week and ask only that you sit by the pool so they can clean the house. The pool man arrives and the gardeners also. All this is communicated and easy to work with. The views are stunning and the local area has two small supermarkets, a small coffee shop and a beautiful restaurant called Christos taverna that will deliver to the villa. Rethymno us 15 euros by cab and I also worked out the bus from the University of crete which is 1.20 euro which is a 9 minute walk away. When leaving we met our host where we received our breakage bond back with ease and thanked us for our stay. In summary. This is a top end product and we loved it and had nothing but a wonderful experience with our host. 11/10 from a newly married Mr & Mrs Clark.

    There was nothing we didn't like. The local supermarket was quite small so we found it was better to shop at Lidl, which was about 1.5 miles away.

    Amazing villa, really modern and clean. Fantastic swimming pool, plenty of outdoor space. Incredible views and so peaceful. Our host was so helpful and really put herself out to help us. The local taverna was easy to walk to and the food was delicious and really cheap.

    It's a little off the beaten track, so you really need a car, or as we did, made use of the excellent a Ctretan Taxi Services.

    Lovely villa with superb swimming pool, BBQ, pizza oven etc. Plenty of space for large groups/families, with plenty of outdoor dining space. There is enough distance between the neighbouring properties to be able to have a great time without worry of disturbing other people.
