The Perfect Villa
We stayed at the Villa Ioanna and could not be more pleased. Lovely, well maintained property at a great location, just a view minutes walk from the village Pigi where we could buy essentials or eat at one of the restaurants. There are plenty of other facilities and activities just a short drive away.

beautiful location
Lovely villa with a pool set just outside Pigi. Lovely peaceful location, just a 5 minute walk from the local village with a shop, pharmacy, bakery, bar and 2 restaurants. The leaky cauldron does amazing food. We loved every minute of our stay and the staff always a text away with help and assistance. They have been so helpful and attentive. Crete is amazing and full of such lovely people. The Villa is a short drive away from Rythemno which is a lovely city to go too! Lots to do. You will not be disappointed if you book here, it was just perfect. I felt safe happy and very well looked after by all the incredible staff. Thank you so much Etouri villas, we will certainly be back <3

Pigi villa
Excellent and friendly communication with the owner Mathew. We had a lovely two weeks in the villa in June 2019. Everything you need is in the villa. You can pre order grocery shopping before your arrival which is a great bonus if you are arriving late in the evening as we were. Mathew had also provided home made wine and olive oil which were excellent. The massive basket of fruit and a large multipack of bottled water were also provided which were very much appreciated. The villa was expertly cleaned every 3 days by Rob who is an absolute legend. He gave us a tip about taverna fantastico where we enjoyed a magical evening. You have easy contact with etouri the operators who are there to arrange anything from a taxi to a professional chef for the evening. Pigi village is only a 5 minute stroll away with two bakeries, two butchers, two restaurants and a bar. Also there is a pharmacy and a supermarket with everything you will need. I have to mention the leaky cauldron restaurant as we spent most evenings there. We practically did the whole menu over the two weeks and EVERYTHING was amazing it is a must visit. Taxis into Rethymno did work out quite expensive between 16-18 euros there and the same back. We noticed that they started the meter at 10 euros. But it was still worth the visits. Rethymno market is on a Thursday in the old town. It does get very busy. The fruit and veg is the best part. Buses into Rethymno are available at a fraction of the cost of a taxi. All in all we had a fantastic time and felt very welcomed by Mathew, Rob, Etouri and everyone in the village. We will be back again and would highly recommend the villas.

Great stay !
We had a wonderful time in Crete and in the Ioanna villa. The owner welcomed us perfectly and was able to help us during our stay anytime we needed it. We had some issues with the hotplates in the kitchen and it was fixed in less than 24 hours. The house was cleaned perfectly every three days. The concierge team was great and available when needed. The house is well located on the island, should you have a car. Otherwise you have bakery, butcher and a good restaurant at 5min walk. We would totally recommend to stay here ! Thank you again :-)

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub in dieser Villa. Die Unterkunft entspricht zu 100 % der Beschreibung und den Bildern. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war fantastisch. Die Reingung des Pools sowie des Hauses war sehr gut. Hinterm Haus gab es ein Melonenfeld, der Bauer schenkte uns 2 köstliche Melonen. Die Agentur kümmerte sich sehr gut und vermittelte uns einen tollen Ausflug und arangierte uns einen tollen Besuch im Beachclub.

Me and my family stayed in the house for 5 nights and had a wonderful crete vacation. The house and the outdoor area is clean and very good maintained. Even towels an bedlinings were changed once during our stay. Inside you find everything you need for cooking. A car is recommended if you want to visit the nearby beaches. We felt like at home when we returned to this house from our daytrips exploring crete.

A relaxed holiday in Crete
The house and the pool were very clean. In the garden were several places to sit in the sun but also in the shadow. You can walk to the bakery for very delicous bread and go to eat in the restaurant of Pigi. The communication and service were good. Any suggestions I would like to report are more spoons for using in the kitchen and matresses on the sunbeds in tthe garden.

Tolle Unterkunft!
Wer im Norden von Kreta eine gute Unterkunft sucht, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Alles in allem ist das ein super Objekt. Die Zusammenarbeit mit der Agentur ETOURI war Weltklasse. Die gesamte Urlaubszeit stand uns ein persönlicher Ansprechpartner zur Seite, der uns bei allem weitergeholfen hat. So was hatten wir noch nie. Das Haus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand... bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten, aber die haben den Gesamteindruck nicht wirklich gestört. Wir waren nur zu zweit in der Villa, daher können wir nicht wirklich beurteilen, wie das Platzangebot ist. Aber ich denke, dass die Zimmeraufteilung und der Platz für eine Familie mit Kindern auch super ist. Mit 2 Pärchen würde ich jetzt nicht unbedingt die Villa teilen wollen. Dafür ist das Bad vll doch zu eng und man hängt sich zu sehr auf der Pelle. Es gibt regelmäßig neue Handtücher und Bettwäsche. Alle paar Tage kommt der Poolboy und kümmert sich um den Pool. In Laufweite ist ein kleines Dorf( Pigi). Das macht zwar optisch nix her, hat aber alles was man so braucht und ein wirklich spektakulär gutes Restaurant, in dem wir mehrfach gegessen haben. Mit dem Auto ist man in ca. 15 - 20 Minuten in Rethymnon City/Hafen. Es gibt wohl eine Busverbindung, aber die haben wir nicht ausprobiert. Die erschien uns zu kompliziert. Mit dem Auto sind viel tolle Strände zu erreichen... da ist die Auswahl wirklich groß. Sollten wir noch mal Urlaub im Norden von Kreta machen, wäre diese Villa in jedem Fall wieder eine Option.
