Lovely villa, charming hostess
Lovely traditional style Cretan house, fully-equipped with pool, terrace, and views of the sea. Quiet and private, yet 15 minutes from Rethymno and two minutes from Prines village (by car). Thei was a friendly and gracious hostess; she provided detailed suggestions about places to visit and dine. We stayed 10 days in Prines, and hope to return!

Perfect retreat
Lovely villa in a quiet location to the south of Prines. Tranquil views down to the coast and a great base for exploring or beaching. The photos do not do justice to the accommodation which was spacious and well equipped. Communication with the owner was good and minor niggles were dealt with promptly. Prines has three tavernas which all served traditional Cretan food within walking distance. Small village shop, pharmacy and butcher in the village, but supermarkets, bakery, etc within ten minutes' drive. You will definitely need a car in this location. Lovely local beaches nearby and easy access to the White Mountains for spectacular scenery and precipitous roads! Rethymno is lovely and also Chania old town. Knossos reachable in just over an hour. We were four adults and the villa suited us perfectly. Many thanks Thei and Kostis for a relaxing holiday.

Beautiful location beside lovely village
Great holiday for 6 adults. Villa spacious, clean and well equipped. It would benefit from air-conditioning in the downstairs bedroom and the beds are firm and a bit small for people over 6ft. Communications with the owner were excellent and the pool always clean and warm. Good restaurants within walking distance and an excellent site from which to tour.

About the host

Hosted by Lefkothea-Maria Syfantou

Host profile image
My name is Lefkothea (the ancient name of the good goddess of the top -spume- of the waves in ancient poet Homer). I've two sons. I've born in Crete. 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 my Crete and I would like to share this love with my guests in LOTUS villa. Also, LOTUS 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 LOTUS 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 LOTUS 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 LOTUS) and the other innumerable activities in the nature. There is a supermarket in 300 m from LOTUS, 2 bigger supermarkets with everything you may need in 1000m from LOTUS, pharmacy in 400 m distance, petrol station and butcher shop in 200m from the villa. The beach is 2,5 km and Rethymno town in 5km (5' driving).

What makes this property unique

The location of LOTUS villa is ideal for families with children of all ages, for companions of friends, for retired people, for digital nomads. The guests can find everything they may need for their short or longterm staying in walking distance (nice restaurants, pharmacy, shops, cafe or in 5-6 min driving, hospital, the beaches, water sports, the picturesque city of Rethymno etc). The area is absolutely safe and the locals are friendly and very hospitable.
