Our hosts gave us such a warm welcome, and the check-in process was seamless. With three spacious floors, our family of nine had more than enough room to relax, spread out, and enjoy some privacy when needed. I also loved that there were additional services available to book during the stay - even though we didn’t have time to take advantage of them, it was a nice option to have.The only small challenge we faced was with directions, as one of our car groups was routed about 20 minutes away, but once we arrived, everything was perfect. To top it off, there’s a fantastic nearby restaurant called The Olive that was both delicious and incredibly welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay that we’d highly recommend!

We stayed as friends with our children in the villa and had a wonderful vacation. It met all expectations. As it says in the ad, it's real. A pleasant villa with wonderful swimming pool, for the necessary cooling. Georgios and his team, are very neat and helpful. Upon arrival, we were given a tour of all the rooms. Halfway through our stay, cleaning took place including linen change. Every morning (early), the pool and outside are cleaned. Very clean and fresh.

Fantastic Villa!

We were there with a group of friends and the villa was perfect for our stay. It corresponds exactly to the pictures and is very private. Due to the quiet location, the villa is also very undisturbed.

The villa was exactly what we hoped for - private, quiet (except for the lovely goats!) and spacious. House is well laid out with two bedrooms (one large bed each) on top floor, one bedroom (twin beds), kitchen, and living area on main floor, and remaining two bedrooms in the well-appointed basement. House is silent at night due to thick stone walls and floors. Shutters keep all light out when needed. Location was perfect - 20 min walk from nearest small village with several taverns, 10-15 min drive from a larger town with butcher, baker, coffee, groceries. Easy drive to all parts of the beautiful areas surrounding Rethymno (note: follow the host’s excellent directions and do not trust google maps! If you turn left out of the main gate instead of right, it is not a through road!)Hosts were informative, helpful and responsive to questions. We had no problems, loved our stay, and would definitely come again.

We celebrated my 30th birthday there with a total of 9 people. Arrival went smoothly. A fantastic villa with a lot of love for detail. We didn't miss anything: dishwasher, coffee maker, washing machine, towels, iron - it was all there. All five bedrooms also had a private bathroom, which is super convenient for several people. Initially there were problems with two toilets, but we were immediately educated about it and within no time the issues were resolved - just great! The pool and the wonderful views were the highlight. Likewise, the large dining table on the terrace. It was fantastic and we will be happy to come back!

The local recommendations were fantastic and made our stay feel very special. It is close to many things but feels far away once you get home! Peaceful and beautiful.
