The photos and description of the villa were great but to see it took it to another level, it really was a fantastic property with great facilities and great views. We were a family group of 7 and there was plenty of space inside and out for us all to do what we wanted. The villa is only a couple of years old and the design and quality of fittings are outstanding and everything seemed to be in the right place. The pool was great as were the sun loungers, the seating and shaded areas, and the garden was a real bonus with lots of thoughtful planting and colour from the bougainvillea, gaura and exotic bird of paradise. If you are a keen gardener as I am then talk to Thomas and he might have a surprise for you! Everything worked well and Thomas and Kiki were on hand just in case it wasn't. Kiki excelled herself with the welcoming moussaka, drinks and essentials, and mid week brought us some fantastic chocolate soufflé cakes. All in all we had a great holiday, in a great villa with caring owners. Thank you.

Kiki and Thomas have thought of everything and more. The garden and pool area is a relaxing private haven which makes you want to stay instead of exploring the area. We did however visit a number of truly amazing restaurants recommended by Kiki . We also visited the old town of Rethymon and it’s harbour which was amazing with its cobbled streets and lovely shops. Kiki’s Moussska is delicious and her infectious friendly welcoming personality adds to a truly memorable holiday. The property was exceptionally clean and well cared for. We would love to visit the villa again and Thank you both Kiki and Thomas for the lovely gift on our final day! We hope they will flourish In our care and will be a reminder of our Oasis and Haven in Crete.

Kiki and Thomas are amazing hosts, very responsive to any queries and were very welcoming and the Moussaka Kiki made for us on our arrival was delicious and very welcome after a long day of travel. This is the best villa we have ever stayed in and would not hesitate to return or recommend to anyone staying in Crete.

She welcomed us with a delicious meal, and we felt right at home. The villa itself is exceptional: spacious, beautifully maintained, and designed for both relaxation and fun. The landscaping was also amazing. Flowers in every color surrounded the property, and even obscure plum bushes were in full bloom during our stay.The location is also fantastic. It is about a 15 minute drive to the nearby city, which we found more quaint and picturesque than Chania. With a rental car and a little planning you can reach just about anywhere in Crete. I cannot recommend this Villa enough for families, groups, or anyone looking for a magical base to explore Crete. Thank you, Kiki, for making our stay unforgettable.

Villa was huge, plenty of space for everyone (6 adults, 2 children). 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (2 of them ensuite) to minimize potential of conflicts :). Kitchen was equipped with every machine eventually needed. On arrival the hosts greeted us with dinner. They recently installed a playground, which can be seen from the terrace. So the kids could play during our breakfast, a relaxed morning guaranteed. The pool can also be supervised from the terrace. The realty ist complete enclosed, so no kids could ever escape. Most evenings were spent at the billardtable, was a lot of fun to play until bedtime! Also the beautiful town of Rethymno was just a 20min drive away. It's a great place to spend your evenings or even whole afternoon! Smaller supermarkets are in walking distance (10min, 15min - 3min by car), bigger shopping tours were done at the Lidl at the beginning of Rethymno (10min drive). You have to mention the kindness of hosts Thomas and Kiki. Every aspect of our interaction, from Kiki's warm greeting late at night, her breakfast for our trip to the beach or the support from Thomas prior to our journey and throughout our stay via Whatsapp and e-mail was exceptional.

We visited the villa from Canada, as an extended family of 8 for 12 days in Sept. The hosts were fantastic; kind and responsive. I dant say enough about their level if hospitality andtheir desire to be sure their guests have a memorable experience. The villa itself was as advertised and a perfect environment for all if us. The kids (3 & 5) adored the pool, and were just as happy staying "home" as they were enjoying the sights. The location was central to everywhere. Thanks again for making our vacation as memorable as we hoped!.

From the moment we booked right through to departure Kiki and Thomas were so attentive, responding quickly to enquiries and were so friendly and welcoming, the moussaka on the first night was a very welcome, delicious treat. The villa itself is in a nice quiet location, overlooking the sea and the best sunset views. It was a little out the village so recommend having a car to get around and get to restaurants, beaches and to reythmnon. The villa is beautifully decorated and really well kitted out and had everything we needed, loved the pool and outdoor kitchen for bbq in the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return one day!

We stayed as a family of eight, aged 7-70, for a week at this villa and would thoroughly recommend it. The villa and gardens are exactly as they appear in the photos - spacious, clean and well designed. The front balcony looks out over the sea which makes for great views of the sunset. The hosts are friendly, responsive and thoughtful in making sure their guests have an enjoyable holiday - our flight was delayed by several hours so we didn’t arrive until 1.30am but Kiki was waiting to welcome us at the villa and give a tour of all the facilities (with homemade food in the oven!). In short - great place and great people - very much recommended.

We had a lovely time at the villa. The house is up to a high specification. The highlight was the lovely pool which we enjoyed well into the night. The location was good for going in either direction to Heraklion or Chania.

Highly recommended!

What a great place! A luxurious villa with everything you need; a beautiful seaview; a fantastic garden with a large clean (and if requested heated) pool. The hosts Thomas and Kiki are very kind and helpful! Definitely worth the visit!

We stayed at the Villa, so luxurious and beautiful! There was fun for everyone from my grandmother to my niece-We swam, lounged, played soccer in the yard all day... played pool, and caught shooting stars all night. Plenty of room for all of us, and hosted by the loveliest couple - Tomas and Kiki! They welcomed us with open arms and were quick to help with any questions-only a phone call away! I recommend this Villa to anyone going to Crete!

Villa Akti is a beautiful villa with a nice garden, outside grill and swimming pool. It has AC and the rooms and kitchen are spacious. Everything you need for a splendid holiday. The view is amazing and is close to the many beaches and restaurants. The owners (Thomas and Kiki) are fantastic and they do care about your wellbeing. We were very happy to have rented this place with four adults and four children(and yes...very good Wifi). It's is centrally located so easy to travel to Elafonissi, Plakias as well as to the east.

Fantastic holiday in a fantastic accommodation with excellent hosts

The accommodation is just amazing. It's actually a lot nicer than the pictures suggest. There were six of us in the villa for two weeks and we didn't miss anything. The hosts are just great and warm. We were greeted with a homemade moussaka and in between freshly baked brownies. The garden deserves a special mention. Rarely seen such a great and well-kept garden in Greece. We would vacation there again at any time. It doesn't get any better than that.

There are some local restaurants, cafes, and bakeries which were amazing, and some amazing restaurants at the coast about 20 minutes' drive.

The villa was even better than shown in the pictures. Everything is on a very high standard and perfectly maintained. The welcoming by the owners was very warm like meeting old friends. We enjoyed the heated pool very much (about 29 degrees C). The equipment was outstandig, there was even a printer for the laptop. The hosts were the best we ever had. Communication was excellent and they cared a lot. On arriving we found a complete excellent homemade meal and a lot of treats. The garden felt like paradise. We will be back for sure.

We were 7 people, 3 couples and one single. Each room was perfection. Our favorite place was the sea-view balcony. We played a lot of pool and enjoyed swimming. Everything was super clean, every problem we had was handled immediately. The house was huge and we had lots of privacy. Thank you so much for having us! It exceeded our expectation big time (which we didn’t think was possible).

The photos and description of the villa were great but to see it took it to another level, it really was a fantastic property with great facilities and great views. We were a family group of 7 and there was plenty of space inside and out for us all to do what we wanted. The villa is only a couple of years old and the design and quality of fittings are outstanding and everything seemed to be in the right place. The pool was great as were the sun loungers, the seating and shaded areas, and the garden was a real bonus with lots of thoughtful planting and colour from the bougainvillea, gaura and exotic bird of paradise. If you are a keen gardener as I am then talk to Thomas and he might have a surprise for you! Everything worked well and Thomas and Kiki were on hand just in case it wasn't. Kiki excelled herself with the welcoming moussaka, drinks and essentials, and mid week brought us some fantastic chocolate soufflé cakes. All in all we had a great holiday, in a great villa with caring owners. Thank you.
