Absolutely great

We spent 3 weeks in that wonderful villa. Enjoying the mountain view, the animals and the village down at the bottom of the mountains. The owner, Manousos and his family, have been fantastic and supplied us with fresh greek yoghurt and fruit as well as really great olive oil. He helped us whenever he could and even showed us around on a nice mountain having a absolute stunning view to coast. Thanks a lot for all of this! The villa itself was very clean and is absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for some quiet time or just want to enjoy the warm pool this is definitely the right place to be. We spent some great 3 weeks in the villa and got to know some wonderful people. Would I go there again? Definitely!

Relaxed vacation in the middle of the mountains of Crete in an exceptional accommodation.

The direct communication with the owner Giorgos is perfect. Arrived at the airport short contact with him and when we arrived at the villa was already his nephew Manousos on site to show us everything and give some info. When we went into the villa a few little things were waiting for us next to the great villa. 1 bottle of olive oil, 2 bouquets of fresh flowers, 1 homemade cake and many nicely decorated items. When we came to the in-house tavern for dinner we were invited directly to eat and drink - simply unimaginable nice gesture. No matter what was on our mind the communication with the owners was always perfect. Thank you for the great vacation in your wonderful villa in Asigonia. Best regards Michael, Moni, Renate and Wolfgang

Quiet, romanic, picturesque get away.

If you're looking for a beautiful home with a gorgeous pool, a view of the valley below and the mountains and sea in the distance, this is it. The home, itself, is modern and immaculate, with a wonderful and pristine pool area. We spent most evenings dining out, but there is a fantastic kitchen for those who prefer to stay home for meals. We had the distinct pleasure to meet and chat with the hosts, George and Helen, who were both so gracious and welcoming. George's brother and father happen to own a restaurant about half way down the hill to the highway, where they hosted us for dinner one evening... on them! The only drawback, if any, is the drive from the airport is a fair distance, but if you're looking for peace, beauty, privacy and luxury, being a bit out of the way is a plus. For my wife and I, this was the perfect place on Crete.

We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Eumelia. The Villa is beautiful and very well equipped, set in a stunning location in the mountains. The owner, George, was great at giving suggestions of places to visit and was always on hand if needed. We also very much enjoyed our free meal at the family restaurant nearby.

Top-modernes und hochwertig ausgestattetes Haus mit fantastischer Aussicht. Sehr netter Kontakt mit der Vermieterfamilie, die rund um die Uhr erreichbar ist und sich um alles kümmert. Für alle, die im Urlaub Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit lieben, ein perfekter Ort. Für Ausflüge muss man entsprechend etwas mehr Zeit und Fahrerei einplanen.

Traumhaft, wenn man einen ruhigen Urlaub verbringen möchte

Gehobenes Ferienhaus mitten in den kretanischen Bergen bei Rethymno. Hier hat man seine Ruhe und absolute Privatsphäre. Das Haus und die Anlage sind sehr geräumig, sauber und absolut modern. Es gibt drei Schlafzimmer, zwei Bäder, eine Küche (mit allem, was dazugehört) und ein großes Wohnzimmer - alle Räume voll klimatisiert, wenn man wünscht. Draußen findet sich ein schöner Pool mit Blick auf die Berge. Die lokalen Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und kümmern sich um alles. Man wird sogar zu einem Essen im eigenen Restaurant eingeladen. Sowohl die Süd- als auch die Nordküste sind in 45 Minuten mit Auto zu erreichen. Hier ist v.a. im Süden der Ort Sfakia mit einem Bootstrip nach Loutro zu empfehlen. Im nahe gelegenen Ort gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt, in dem man alles bekommt, was man für eine Woche zurückgezogenen Urlaub braucht. Restaurants befinden sich auch in der Nähe (10-15 min mit dem Auto). Für Familien oder Freunde mit bis zu 6 Personen sehr empfehlenswert.

Tolle Villa in absoluter Ruhe

Wir (2 Pärchen) waren für eine Woche in der wunderschönen Villa von Manousos. Die Ausstattung ist sehr komfortabel und es ist alles vorhanden was für einen erholsamen Urlaub benötigt wird. Ebenso ist sowohl das Haus als auch die Einrichtung neu und sehr geschmackvoll - die Betten sind sehr bequem. Der Außenbereich bietet einen schönen Pool und viele Möglichkeiten zum Verweilen und Entspannen. Die Villa ist ruhig gelegen, mit schönem Weitblick in die Berge Kretas - hier kann man gemütliche Tage verbringen. Man hört nur die Glöckchen der Schafe und Ziegen. Der Gastgeber Manousos ist sehr zuvorkommend und hat sich wunderbar um uns gekümmert. Er brachte uns traditionelles Essen, gekocht von seiner Mutter und überraschte uns noch mit Abschiedsgeschenken. Dies ist an Gastfreundschaft kaum zu übertreffen. Ebenso stand er uns immer für Fragen zur Verfügung. Wer einen ruhigen Urlaub in Kreta, fernab vom typischen Tourismus verbringen möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Ein Mietwagen ist definitiv erforderlich. Liebe Grüße nach Kreta.
