Our stay at Almond Villa was quite pleasant, The location is great for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle, yet it's close enough to Rethymno for easy access to the beach and local attractions, The villa was clean and spacious, with nice amenities like air conditioning and a BBQ grill in the backyard, Everything was functional, and we appreciated the peaceful environment, Overall, a solid choice for a family vacation

Anfang Juli 2024 übernachteten wir im Ferienhaus „Villa Almond“. Wir vier hatten einen fantastischen Urlaub in dem sehr geräumigen, komplett ausgestatteten Haus. Ich kann dieses Haus einer Familie mit 4 bis 6 Personen absolut empfehlen. Der Hausbesitzer ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, aber dennoch diskret. Die authentischen, dickeren Wände halten das Haus an heißen Tagen kühl, aber die Schlafzimmer verfügen auch über eine Klimaanlage. Besonders auffällig war die Tatsache, dass das Haus absolut makellos und sehr gepflegt war. Durch die Ausrichtung von Haus, Garten und Schwimmbad haben Sie den ganzen Tag über Plätze mit Sonne, aber auch schattige Seiten. Darüber hinaus ist es aufgrund seiner Lage ideal für Ausflüge nach Rethymnon und in die Umgebung. Sehr empfehlenswert und volle 5 von 5 von unserer Familie!
