Beautiful family vacation

We all had a wonderful time on our family vacation. The house was very comfortable and clean. The outdoor spaces of this villa are beautiful beyond words. The owners of the home were very nice and welcoming! Katrina even gifted us a few of her pictures which she painted. There are three tavernas within walking distance. They were also awesome! We definitely recommend this experience! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Stunning

Offered everything we were looking for! Walking distance to many tavernas, lots of outdoor gathering spaces, 3 apts (2 beds each) and a main house with 4 more bedrooms provided opportunities to recharge energy for introverts. Pool and grounds amazing, and only a few feet to an incredible private beach cove. Management is superior—responsive and flexible! Helped us arrange grocery delivery before we arrived, a spectacular Chef created dinner on site, even charcoal provided for the outdoor kitchen. 7 min to large grocery store but definitely away from it all. We had 13 people ranging from 4-79 years, and everyone was thrilled. Imagine! Katerina has a special place here and has created something beautiful to share! Thank you!

Home away from home

This home is immaculately maintained by a family that will host you as if you were their family too. It is spacious and you will find everything you would ever want or need in your own home. The pool is huge and the grounds and gardens are so beautifully maintained that you will think you are in paradise. There is a private beach you can swim at also. You cannot ask for a better, more inviting home to have your family reunion or get together at!!!

Crystal clear water and sea view!

Excellent stay for three families and grandparents. Three small apartments on ground floor (one double bedone single bed per appartment, one also with sofa bed). Two doubles and two singles on first floor. All rooms with air condition.The small (rocky) beach right below the house has amazingly clear waters, and the pool was great for our kids (7-11 years.). Only 100m to a great taverna (Mimi’s). Also near a really nice sandy beach with a beach bar/restaurant.From first floor, the ocean view is amazing, and we ate on the terrass several nights, at sunset. And the garden is beautifully kept.Only a few and minor ”complaints”. The family kitchen on the first floor is on the smaller side, and there is no fridge next to bbq area (a bit of a hassle to run up and down to fetch cold beverages). Also you need a car to get to a grocery store. But overall a wonderful stay, including hospitality from Petros and Katerina, and the two very cute ”house” cats (loved by the kids).

Ein tolles Anwesen, liebevoll eingerichtet

Wir haben uns als Truppe, 13 Personen wohlgefĂŒhlt. Das Anwesen bietet viele Möglichkeiten zum relaxen, mit ruhigen Leseecken und einem schönen Pool.

Family get together

We couldn’t have found a better spot and will definitely return. The house and grounds are spacious, with many lovely areas to seat the whole group.We loved the bbq area and seating and the big balcony has stunning views over the sea and mountains. The beach was clean with crystal clear water and we had other beaches within walking distance. There are three tavernas within a five minute walk along a rarely used side road. We were concerned that the proximity to the main road might be sn issue, but it couldn’t be heard inside the property abd it actually made access to shops and the airports very straightforward.

In die Jahre gekommene Villa

Es ist ein schönes Haus und GrundstĂŒck, besonders der Garten. Die Lage ist aber etwas schwierig, direkt an der Autobahn ist der LautstĂ€rkepegel hoch. DafĂŒr aber sehr nahe an Rethymnon. Die meisten schönen SandstrĂ€nde sind nur mit dem Auto erreichbar. Der zugehörige Strand ist leider auch eher schwer begehbar (steinige, kaputte Treppe, keine GelĂ€nder..) und so nicht kinderfreundlich. Leider lĂ€sst der allgemeine Zustand des Hauses zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig: Wir hatten immer wieder kaltes Wasser beim Duschen weil der Boiler nicht recht funktionierte. Besonders die Appartements waren in keinem guten Zustand, inkl. Schimmel in einem Badezimmer. Das Mobiliar ist zusammengewĂŒrfelt, alt und teilweise unvollstĂ€ndig (z.B. fehlende Birnen in Lampen). Zudem hatten wir einen Wasserschaden, der aber gleich behoben wurde. Die Appartements sind auch nicht mit dem Haupthaus verbunden. FĂŒr uns am schwerwiegendsten war die Tatsache, dass es als familienfreundlich ausgeschrieben wurde aber nicht war. Der Zugang zum Meer ist gefĂ€hrlich und vor allem der Pool war ungesichert (das Foto online liess aber anderes vermuten). Darauf hingewiesen hat der Vermieter dann zwar ein GelĂ€nder montiert (das er offensichtlich zuvor schon mehrmals genutzt hatte) wollte aber ganze 150 Euro dafĂŒr, zusĂ€tzlich zu der schon hohen Miete. Er liess auch nicht mit sich reden, als wir ihn darauf ansprachen. Trotz allem waren es schöne Ferien auf Kreta.

A lovely villa near Rethymno

A clean modern villa overlooking the sea with plenty of space in the large grounds to relax, swim in the pool or barbecue in the outside kitchen. A few metres from the gardens is a short path to a small pebble beach with crystal clear water to swim and snorkel. The villa is separated into one large apartment in the first floor and three smaller ones at ground level with direct access to the garden pool and sea! There is a road behind and not far the villa but you can’t hear the traffic from the front at all and it was not a problem - it also meant an easy drive to the beautiful town of Rethymno, though there are at three great restaurants within easy walking distance. Katerina and her family were lovely and ensured we were very well looked after. A great place, great value and stunning views!

Sehr gelungener Urlaub

Alles, von dem ersten Kontakt mit Manos bis zum Check-out mit dem Eigner hat bestens funktioniert. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett, die Lage traumhaft. Das Haus hat alle Erwartungen ĂŒbertroffen. Gerne kommen wir wieder !

Villa med udsigt

God beliggenhed lige ned til dejlig stenstrand (husk badesko). Ligger tÊt pÄ den store vej. Det er praktisk men giver ogsÄ lidt trafikstÞj. Villaen er delt op i 4 boenheder: 3 smÄ nedenunder og en stor ovenpÄ.

Perfect stay for the entire family

Very nice house, spacious, very well taken care off. House gives enough space to give a large group enough space for privacy aswell. House owners went the extra mile to make the stay extra good. Thanks Petros, Katerina.

The perfect house for a family reunion

Our three families with 15 people stayed at this wonderful villa in August 2019 - and it was absolutely the perfect place in every possible way! The villa accommodated all of us comfortably, providing plenty of room for all of us to hang out together while allowing privacy for the three couples in the downstairs units. The villa is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and all the necessary kitchen utensils and more. It provides several large dining areas and many places to hang out, including the pool area, the gazebo and the beach. The owner took very good care of us and was super accommodating. We can't wait to come back again! This villa is truly magnificent!

Beautiful villa with the sea on doorsteps

The treatment by Mr. Manos while booking the Villa was exceptional and he has responded to all our special requests by 100 percent. The Villa is perfect for several families who want to stay with maximum privacy at times, but spend also some time together, the garden is beautiful and well maintained and the sea beach is just a minute down the steps. The location is perfect and the connections to restaurants are available by foot and few minutes by car to the nearest shops. The owners are very hospitable and we enjoyed the paintings of Ms. Katerina, as well as her traditional Cretan dishes that was nice surprise for us.
