Review for stay from 04 July 2026 to 13 July 2026

Villa Serenity was the perfect place for out large group looking to experience Crete not at a resort at the beach but away from crowds and near a more authentic experience. The location was close to Lake Kournas and many of the ancient, historic sites. The owner, Roula, and her husband kept the grounds in wonderful shape and introduced us to local treasures including the nearby Georgia's Traditional Taverna. Our visit was in July and it was hot. The rooms were cool, the pool a welcome place to cool off and use the "resistance swimming" unit, and there is a lot of shade to enjoy being out. Definitely a place to enjoy a large gathering with outdoor cooking and dining as well as a large indoor place to gather as well.

Beautiful villa exactly as advertised. Stand out feature was Roula the owner, she was friendly, helpful and always there if we needed her. It was my wife’s birthday while we were there so she baked us a cake. A really lovely lady and we all agreed we would come here again.

We were a group of 16 people and had an absolutely amazing time! The house was wonderful — spacious, clean, and even better than we expected. Roula was a fantastic host, incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend both the accommodation and the host. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Review for stay from 07 July 2025 to 14 July 2025

Our group of 12 had an amazing stay at Villa Serenity. The outdoor area with kitchen and pool was absolutely fantastic – perfect for our vacation. Roula was an exceptional host throughout our stay - very friendly, flexible, and helpful with everything we needed. The location is a bit outside the city center, so having a rental car was useful. However, there are nice restaurants nearby, which gave us great options for both dining out and cooking at the villa. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped villa with a friendly and helpful host!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Host: It is important to know that the "host" is made of two entities. Posarellivillas, the management company, and Roula Stavros, the owner. The management company was responsive but not helpful with our pre-trip planning. Roula and her husband were the opposite. They were responsive, helpful and made our trip as good as it could be.Serenity Villa: the property is beautiful and suited to Crete's climate. We were there in July and each day got hotter. The rooms have excellent A/C and the property is new(ish) with comfortable beds and blackout, roll-down shades. The outdoor areas have light colored surfaces making walking barefoot fine during the day. There are areas that are shaded offering places to enjoy the day.Outdoor pool: The pool is beautiful and two youngsters improved their swimming during the visit. For active swimmers, there is a "resistance unit" that allows stationary swimming for as long as one wishes. Actually it shuts off every 10 to 15 minutes. The spa is a plus with a waterfall wall that is beautiful in the evening.Kitchen(s): The one most used is the outdoor kitchen with large dining table, refrigerator, microwave, stove top and grilling unit and dishwasher. The kitchen supplies are the best I have encountered. There is another kitchen in the upstairs unit with another large dining table. Area: It is close to Lake Kornas, a beautiful, clear lake that does get busy but is large enough. Next door is Georgia's Traditional Taverna. Excellent food.

Review for stay from 14 August 2025 to 20 August 2025

Absolutely Perfect Stay – Couldn't Recommend More! We recently stayed at this villa with a large group of family and friends, and it was honestly one of the best holiday rentals we’ve ever experienced. The space was perfect for a big group – spacious, open, and designed with both comfort and entertaining in mind. Whether we were cooking outdoors, lounging by the pool, or just enjoying the views, everything about the villa made it feel like a true getaway. The layout was ideal for families, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out without feeling disconnected. It’s clear the villa has recently been refurbished to a very high standard – everything felt modern, stylish, and thoughtfully put together. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the outdoor areas were just fantastic for group meals and relaxing evenings. A special mention has to go to Roula, the owner, who was simply amazing – warm, welcoming, and always on hand if we needed anything. You can really tell she cares about her guests having the best possible experience. We’d return in a heartbeat and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and well-appointed place to stay with family or friends.

Review for stay from 12 June 2026 to 16 June 2026

Een prachtige villa, van alle gemakken voorzien. De beheerder Roula en haar man Stavros zijn enorm behulpzaam. Je kan ze alles vragen en ze gaan direct voor je aan de slag. Ook komt ze regelmatig met wat lekkers aan: een taart voor je verjaardag, zelfgemaakte raki, dan weer een cake. Te leuk. Ook de omgeving is enorm leuk . Op loopafstand ligt Lake Kournas, heel gezellig met leuke shops en restaurantjes en op 7 minuten met de auto, het strand met leuke beachclubs. Villa Serenity is echt een aanrader. Wij gaan over 2 jaar weer!

Review for stay from 26 April 2026 to 03 May 2026

We hebben met ons gezin van 14 personen een week doorgebracht in Villa Serenity. Het heeft al onze verwachtingen overtroffen. Een fantastisch huis voorzien van alle gemakken. Prachtig uitzicht en een heerlijk zwembad met hottub. Een grote buitenruimte met volledig ingerichte buitenkeuken. Alles was mooi en schoon en alles werkte. Onze gastvrouw en gastheer hebben hun uiterste best gedaan de villa wat eerder schoon te krijgen zodat we er eerder in konden na een heel vroege vlucht. Ze waren makkelijk bereikbaar via de app als we vragen hadden. We hebben raki en zelfgemaakte taart en koekjes van ze gekregen, heerlijk. Iedere ochtend kwamen ze heel vroeg de buitenkeuken en het zwembad schoonmaken. Fantastisch gewoon. We hebben er geen woorden voor en kijken met heel veel plezier terug op ons verblijf. Extra complimenten voor gastheer en gastvrouw! We komen graag een keer terug.
