We had a great week at Villa Harmony - a lovely villa with a great pool set in a relaxing location.
As first time renters of a villa the engagement was so straightforward with excellent communication at all stages of the booking process. During our stay the host was always on hand and went above and beyond to help us.

A beautiful villa nestled in the Crete countryside
A lovely location just a few minutes from the beautiful city of Rethymno. The hosts were extremely welcoming without ever intruding on our holiday and I would highly recommend this location to anyone. From the seasonal welcome gifts, to the offer of some additional space to use, it truly was a great break that exceeded our expectations.

Clean, comfortable and just as described. Nikos, the owner was just next door and left us tomatoes, grapes and wine on arrival and cleaned the pool everyday. Quite a tricky road to the house, steep in places but easy to find. Lovely views of mountains and the sea, stunning sunsets and sunrises from one of the many balconies. Stay wasn't long enough.

On arrival in the evening we were given a tour of the villa, lovely people who welcomed us. Very nice spacious villa, very nice pool and in between cleaning and clean sheets and towels. There are balconies on all corners of the house so you can always sit in the shade. When we (unfortunately) had to go back home, we were again given a warm goodbye.
thank you for letting us use your hospitality and beautiful villa!

We stayed as a family, the property was well maintained and spotlessly clean.
Mr Nichols and his lovely wife were excellent and attentive hosts. The was a Greek welcome pack awaiting us which included, home made jams, fruits, wine and lovely olive oil. During our stay we were also given birthday cake from their granddaughters birthday, fresh figs from their tree and tasty grapes cut from the vines. Overall - An amazing experience. :)

Great holiday, Nikos and Maria were there to greet us and show us around the villa. Nice little welcome basket of home produce on the kitchen table. Lovely and spacious inside with possibly the best outside area and pool we’ve ever had. Pool roughly 13m x 5.5 so great for early morning laps. Child friendly in the shallow end. Overall the villa is fantastic although a little of the beaten track. Follow the satnav and trust it, villa Harmony is sign posted when near.

Idyllic Villa
The villa was amazing!Spacious,clean,well maintained.The views from the numerous balconies were breathtaking.
The pool area was beautiful with an outdoor barbecue and kitchen area.
The owners were really friendly and helpful and were keen to make our stay really enjoyable.
The location was good.Near enough to walk into the beautiful town of Rethymno,but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to feel relaxing.
Give it us for free for another month!
