Excellent. Peaceful but close to bars and a shop.

Great accommodation with a very friendly and helpful host. A quiet village setting but a short drive to beaches and towns. Would recommend.

Very nice house close to Rethymnon

We really enjoy our stay in Aloe villa located in a quiet area with a very nice view on the sea from the upper terrace and a lovely garden. The pool was perfect for our children (and for us too). The house was also very clean. We would recommend this place to our friends. KInds regards

Aloe Villa

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and Thei’s recommendations for Beach and Tavernas were spot on. We all loved Rethymnon. Everybody very friendly and helpful. Kostis and his wife were always available and helpful. Cannot praise the family enough who owned and ran the Veranta Taverna and we will miss eating there as we did most nights. The villa was spotlessly clean and comfortable but considering it was advertised for 6-8 persons it was somewhat lacking. Only 5 outside chairs for eating at the patio table (and these had to be brought down from upstairs)and only 6 mugs. The downstairs bedroom did not have air conditioning and the fan was too noisy to use. A little bit of TLC needed! Will certainly go back to the area but would look for a different villa. Thank Thei for all her help and directions. Brian and family (5).

Beautiful Villa, lovely host, amazing holiday

Thank you Thei and kostis for helping to make our holiday so enjoyable. Aloe is a very pretty Vila and we were very comfortable there. We all enjoyed the pool, it is lovely and private. We slept so well because it is a peaceful location. Thei's recommendation regarding where to visit and where to eat were spot on. And as the owner and host she is outstanding, kind and friendly!!!! Crete is a very beautiful island with so much to see and do and the people are so friendly. We would recommend Aloe villa wholeheartedly! Thank you Thei.

About the host

Hosted by Lefkothea-Maria Syfantou

Hi, I'm Thei! I've born in Crete and I'm mother of two boys. I've studied Law and Social Anthropology in the University of Athens. I'm an optimist person. I love the nature, the children, cycling, gardening, reading books, listening to jazz, rock and Latin American music, watching good movies, swimming, sailing, hiking, bird-watching, doing meditation, travelling, making new friends. I love Crete island and I want to share this love with my guests.

Why they chose this property

This area (Prines village) was the place of the family of my grandmother until she married the doctor of the prefecture (my grandpa) and mooved to another village of the area. During all my childhood I was coming for the holidays in this area and later, when I was working as a lawyer in Athens, I studied in the University for a while social anthropology and I had the chance to study a very interesting subject about the inhabitans of Crete. I love Crete and I would like to share this love with my guests in ALOE villa. Also, ALOE villa is situated in the most beautiful and convenient place of Prines village, in a neighborhood with oak trees and nice houses. Our guests will enjoy walking in the area, jogging, cycling, having their lunch and dinner in the 3 very nice restaurants in the village or in the villages around ALOE villa, bird-watching, swimming in the Cretan sea with sandy beach, snorkeling, shopping in the afternoon in the picturesque, historical Rethymno city , walking the long promenade near the sea, having unforgettable dinner in Old Harbor area in front of the old lighthouse or visiting the Fortezza Castle in the sunset, exploring the famous gorges of the area , visiting the very interesting paleontological museum, studying in the calmness of the pleasant library of the University of Crete ( 2.5 km from ALOE villa-the way to the University is fantastic and working in it's sunny library is a pleasant experience), visiting the archaeological and historical places of the area (the ancient Minoan cemetery of Armeni-6 km from ALOE) and the other innumerable activities in the nature. There is a supermarket in 350 m from ALOE, 2 bigger supermarkets with everything you may need in 1000m from ALOE, pharmacy in 400 m distance, butcher shp and petrol station in 200m from the villa. The beach is 2,5 km and Rethymno town in 5km (5' driving).

What makes this property unique

The smell of the garden in the morning, the location in the centre of the island, the traditional architecture of the house, the location of the house in the most beutiful and tranquil neighbourhood of the traditional village of Prines in combination with the close distance from the restaurants (350 m), the cafe, the super markets, the beach and the city of Rethymno, all these make ALOE villa unique and ideal for guests of all ages.
