Highly recommend
Nikos is a great host - really responsive and helpful. The villa is lovely- lots of space to be together or hang out separately and very clean. The location is great, but the drive up to the villa is not for the nervous driver!

Great times in wonderful Crete
We were a group of only 3 adults and the property felt like total luxury in terms of space and opportunities to relax. The pool was used extensively although we arrive a bit early and the water was not as warm as we would have liked. By the end of the stay is was perfect. The only issue we has was the kitchen, with a few things that need to be set back to standard. The cupboards smelled very strongly of mold, so we took out everything we needed and kept it on the tables. Luckily, we did not need to cook much, so it wasn't a big problem. The villa is located on a very steep sloped street, so it's not for the faint of hart drivers. Nikos is a great host and overall we enjoyed our stay so much that it was very hard to leave.

Perfect Place for vacation on Crete
We spent 12 nights in this beautiful and well equipped villa. We especially loved the swimming pool and the various balconies and terraces. The villa is very well situated in the middle of the island from where you can visit many sights within one or two hours by car. The drive up to the villa is well marked but can be a little challenging through the narrow paths but one gets used to it. The host Nikos is very welcoming, always happy to help, but also respects privacy. We wholeheartedly recommend a stay in this villa.

Villa très agréable et accueil chaleureux
Nous sommes partis en vacances en Crete à 7 personnes (3 couples et une personne seule). La villa était parfaite pour notre groupe: nombre et taille de chambre idéales, nombre et emplacement des SdB aussi. L'extérieur est juste incroyable et très agréable. Avec toutes ses terrasses, la piscine et le BBQ on profite pleinement de la vie en exterieur. Et que dire de la superbe vue panoramique sur les montagnes et la campagne crétoise! L'accueil par le gérant Nikos est très sympathique et chaleureux, toujours disponible pour répondre à l'une ou l'autre de nos questions (y compris avant notre arrivée). Le gerant Nikos nous avait préparé des spécialités du terroir. Une attention très appréciable. L'emplacement de la location dans l'île est parfait quand on veut faire l'ouest et le sud de l'île. le village dans lequel la location se situe dispose de toutes les commodités : superettes, pharmacie, station essence, boulangerie, restaurants. La location est par ailleurs à 15 min en voiture de Rethymnon ville portuaire disposant de plus de commerces et de restaurants. Les deux seuls soucis que nous avons eu dans la villa sont la rigidité des matelas, et l'eau de la douche qui devenait rapidement fraîche mais cette location a été un véritable atout de notre séjour et a largement contribué à notre détente. Nous nous sommes senti un peu comme à la maison: contents de faire des excursions la journée mais aussi contents de retrouver la villa le soir pour profiter de la vue et des superbes coucher de soleil! Nous recommandons vivement cette location!

Beautiful, romantic place in a small, quiet village
The most attractive thing of the place are the balcony's and terraces. The house looks very romantic because of the cretenzer style. The bakery and the restaurant in the village make it also very worthwile to stay there. The cleaning lady comes twice a week if you want and Nikos, the owner comes almost every day to take care of the pool and you. Only the bathrooms could be better. The house was a bit difficult to find, but when we phoned Nikos, he found us within a few minutes. The village is located on a very central point, so from there you can go everywhere: to the beaches and cities in the north and also in 45 minutes to the beaches in the south. All in all very recommandable!
