Schön eingerichtete Villa mit tollem Blick auf die Bucht

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Unbezahlbar war der Blick jeden Morgen aus dem Fenster heraus auf den schönen Garten mit Pool und das Meer im Hintergrund bei immer strahlendem Sonnenschein. Das untere Schlafzimmer mit Ensuite Bad war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Pool hat eine variable Tiefe von 0,6 bis 1,6 m

bon séjour

Nous avons passé un bon séjour.Malheureusement il manquait beaucoup d'accessoires de cuisine (pas de passoire à riz, aucun bol,aucun tuperwaere, économe qui marche pas... ).Les équipements de base fournit était vraiment en quantité très limitée (pastilles lave vaisselle et lave linge ,pas d'huile ,pas de sel ,pas de petits journal pour allumer le barbecue...)j'ai du tout racheter .Vu le prix de la villa un meilleur service de base aurai été la bienvenue comme vu dans ma précédente villa louée moins chère dans la même ville la semaine précédente ou elle était super équipée pour la cuisine et fournitures de base en grande quantité et frigo pleins (même qualité de villa ). La climatisation est bruillante dans une chambre.Sinon la villa est très agréable.

Accueil impeccable et au delà de nos attentes

Très propres, très bel accueil. Pour la première fois, nous avions des aliments pour notre petits déjeuners du lendemain, et des fruits,bière, vin. Vraiment exceptionnel et ce n'est pas la première fois que nous louons des villas et/ou condos.

Fantastisk Villa

Vi hadde 3 fantastiske uker i villaen. Alt stod til forventingene, pluss mer. Vertene tok oss godt imot. Vi fikk mange gode tips og råd om alt fra utflukter til steder å handle/spise. Villaen var veldig godt vedlikeholdt og inneholdt alt vi trengte. Om det var noe som manglet ordnet eierene, Aspa og Sifis, gledelig opp. Bassenget ble rengjort hver andre dag, og hver tredje dag ble det vasket og skiftet sengetøy/håndklær i Villaen. Vi kommer definitivt tilbake til Villa Argento. Anbefales videre

Beautiful Weeks Stay

The property is Exactly what you see the in the photos, it’s gated off from the quiet road at the end of the property. The pool is so nice as well as the overall cleanliness of the property. Cleaners come in every 2 days to take out rubbish ect. The owner Aspa was always on hand for any information that we required. The villa is a 10 min drive from the beach. I highly recommend hiring a car as there isn’t a lot in walking distance. Really was a perfect weeks stay. Thank you to Aspa and her husband for making us feel so welcome. Thank you!!!

Wunderbare Erholung in einer tollen Villa

Es war eine schöne Auszeit und das Gastgeberpaar hat es uns mit seiner Herzlichkeit sehr leicht gemacht, uns zu erholen. Zur Begrüßung stand ein selbstgebackener Kuchen in der Küche, der Kühlschrank war mit dem nötigsten gefüllt und das Haus war blitzsauber. Wir hatten absolute Privatsphäre und konnten jede Minutw genießen. Aspa, die Gastgeberin, hat es sich nicht nehmen lassen, uns mit einem leckeren Gemista zu überraschen. Es hat toll geschmeckt und unterstreicht, wie angenehm es bei den Beiden war. Die Villa wurde zweimal die Woche gereinigt, das ist schon besonders. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und schicken herzliche Grüße nach Kreta und sagen Danke. 😍

Exzellent !

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von den Gastgebern und der kleinen Hündin Bobo empfangen. Die schöne Aussicht aufs Meer, der tolle Außen- und Innenbereich versprechen Erholungs- und Wohlfühlgarantie ! Es war alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Außerdem gab es viele Extras, wie z.B eine tolle Tischtennisplatte, kleine Essenvorräte und eine Reinigung zwischendurch mit Handtuchwechsel. Ein weiteres Highlight war das selbstgemachte Moussaka, womit uns die Gastgeber überrascht haben. Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf das nächste Mal. Ein herzliches Danke!

Wunderschönes Haus

Das Haus ist paradiesisch, wir haben unsere Woche sehr genossen - es fehlt an nichts. Die Gastgeber sind außerordentlich nett, da wir abends spät erst angereist sind, bekamen wir Moussaka serviert - wir waren überwältigt über so viel Gastfreundschaft. Hündin Bobo ist super lieb und hat uns die ganze Woche am Haus besucht. Wir kommen wieder- auf jeden Fall!

A great place to stay - highly recommended

We have recently returned from a stay at this lovely villa. As the photos show the villa faces north (so it is cool during the day) and has a lovely uninterrupted view towards Rethymno and the fort. The villa is in a quiet location but close to the main coast road making exploring the area easy. About an hour's drive from Heraklion airport and similar time to Chania. The garden and pool were lovely and I can recommend the hammock for a siesta. Everything was well maintained, in good working order and clean. The villa is well equipped in the kitchen and had all that we needed. There is a large walk in wardrobe with hanging and shelf space off the main bedroom. We spent most of the time outside and enjoyed the sun loungers, sofa and outdoor eating area. There are lots of outside lights to enjoy being outside in the evening. The owner, Aspa, and her hsuband live next door and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, but also not intrusive. Aspa made a lovely mousaka for us and they promptly fixed a plumbing issue. The management company were very helpful and replied promptly to enquiries before we arrived. They provided good directions on how to find the villa using Google maps. They also arranged a private taxi for us when we walked the Samarian Gorge. We would recommend this as a place to stay for a couple or for a family with young children as there is a children's swing in the garden.

Tolles Haus in sehr schöner Lage

Das Objekt ist einfach nur schön. Die Lage, der Ausblick und die Ausstattung waren einfach perfekt. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentur (Etouri) und auch mit den Eigentümern ware sensationell und absolut professionell. Haben uns selten so toll betreut gefühlt. Die Eigentümer, insbesonders Mrs. Aspa hat sich super bemüht und war sehr zuvorkommend und zusätzlihc gab es noch Gabe aus dem Garten und Abschiedsgeschenke....einfach nur schön diese Gastfreundschaft. Leider geht die Zeit immer zu schnell zu Ende, aber wir würden sehr gerne bald wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für Alles !!!

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt

Wir hatten einen tollen zehntägigen Aufenthalt in der Villa Argento. Der Außenbereich ist ein Traum, vor allem der Panoramablick. Unbeschreiblich schön. Die Gastgeber Aspa und Sifis sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten unsere volle Privatsphäre, aber für alles was wir gebraucht haben waren die beiden für uns immer erreichbar. Sehr nette, junge und coole Leute. Die Villa ist ein bisschen abseits, damit man wirklich abschalten kann, aber alles ist sehr nah (Old Town Rethymno, Tavernen, Supermärkte usw..). Bis zum Stadtzentrum braucht man mit dem Auto 8 min von der Villa aus. Alles in allem haben wir unsere Zeit genossen, uns sehr gut ausgeruht und können die Villa  gutes Gewissens weiterempfehlen.

Traumblick und super Haus!

Wir waren neun Tage in der Villa Argento und haben jeden Tag aufs Neue genossen. Das Haus ist ausreichend groß für eine Familie mit drei kleinen Kindern und bietet allen Komfort. Die Ausstattung ist einzigartig: alle denkbaren Küchengeräte (u.a. Toaster, Saftpresse, Nespressomaschine), ausreichend Geschirr, Gewürze und sogar eine Grundausstattung an Lebensmitteln waren vorhanden. Das Haus war sehr sauber bei der Ankunft und wurde regelmäßig sauber gehalten. Der Garten ist liebevoll angelegt und wunderschön. Wir haben jeden Tag genossen. Vor allem der Blick von einem der zahlreichen Sitzplätze war traumhaft. Die Lage des Hauses war für unsere Zwecke perfekt, nah zur Stadt, ausreichend nah zu den Stränden, aber weit genug abseits um etwas authentisches Leben zu erfahren. Einzig der Schrottplatz auf dem Hinweg hat uns etwas irritiert (allerdings sieht und hört man nichts davon, wenn man auf dem Grundstück ist). Demgegenüber kamen abends die Ziegen samt Hirte vorüber. Ein Auto ist auf jeden Fall erforderlich. Besonders zu erwähnen ist aber vor allem die Gastfreundschaft von den Eigentümern Aspa und Sifi, die im hinteren Teil des Hauses wohnen. Sie standen immer hilfreich zur Verfügung ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Vielen Dank für diesen traumhaften Urlaub, wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
