wonderful stay !!!
Checked in late and Antonis provided us with snacks in case local restaurants were closed which was very kind. We wanted to see things on both sides of the island which made this a great central location. Great neighbourhood with friendly restaurants with fabulous food. beautiful private property that we would come back to any time

One week in Pigi
The house is situated in a lovely village of Pigi, just a few meters walk from a taverna, minimart, butcher and bakery. Although the minimart sells everything you need you are still only a 5 minute drive from Lidl. We were a family of 5, my husband myself and 3 teenage children. One of my son's is a very keen sportsman and he made full use of the gym which is fantastically equipped. The house was immaculately clean and tidy and very well equipped. The only criticism would be that there weren't that many glasses or cups and its really only set up for six. We ate out most evenings and therefore it wasn't a problem for us, but I think if you were planning to cook at the house everyday you might get a little frustrated. Great pool area, although the door that leads out to the pool area is very easy to catch your fingers in, so those with small children should be careful. All in all we had a great holiday. Antonis and Georgia are fantastic hosts and always on the other end of the phone should you have a problem or just need some advice. I couldn't praise them highly enough. They even provided us with food when we arrived at 1.30am.

Great house, lovely owners.
Sportsvilla was the perfect retreat for our family; The gym setup was fantastic; the sauna even got frequent post workout use. The kids loved the play area and the pool and the shallow section was perfect for my 2 year old. We were too lazy to make an event out of using the outdoor oven, but then the restaurant that was literally just one house away was too tasty (and economical) to bother with the effort at home. Having the house cleaned twice a week was an unexpected bonus, and the owners were absolutely lovely. Five star!

Fantastic family villa!
We spent 2 weeks here in August with 2 teenagers. We were initially attracted to the villa for it's gym, which was amazing. We used it most days. The villa itself is very modern, fully equipped with all the mod cons and spotlessly clean with a regular maid service. The location is great with all the local amenities in the village, yet you're only a 10 minute drive to the beach and lots of restaurants. Another five minutes takes you into the hustle and bustle of the lovely town of Rethymno. Antonis couldn't have made us feel more welcome, with a much appreciated meal waiting for us on our arrival. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend this villa!

Wonderful place for a family holiday!
We had an amazing time at Sports Villa. We have three children, aged 18, 15 and 9 and the combination of the pool, gym, pool table, basket ball, hot tub and Netflix worked a treat! The villa itself was fabulous - stylish, contemporary, really clean, well equipped, air conditioned and with everything that we could have needed for a week away. The local area offered some good tavernas and we headed further afield to find some amazing restaurants. The nearby towns had lots to offer in terms of food, shopping and beaches. The owners were just lovely - nothing was too much trouble and they even arranged some personal training sessions for our son. If you like to be active on holiday, this is a perfect option.

A fantastic place to stay in Crete!
We spent 20 days in Sports Villa and enjoyed every minutes here. The villa is well equipped modern house with gym, swimming pool, etc. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful in every aspect. The location is also perfect: you can live in a quiet small village while the 2nd largest city (Rethimno) is only a few minutes driving. You can also reach practically every corner of Crete within a maximum 1-2 hour driving. Highly recommended!

Fantastique !
Une villa superbe, dans un village atypique non loin de rethymnon (12-15 min env.) une taverne très sympathique où l on mange très bien juste en face (env 20’secondes à pied). Une piscine très agréable et nettoyée par le propriétaire tout les 3 jours. Un petit paradis dans une île paradisiaque… Nous recommandons 100 fois et nous conservons le contacte avec Antonis pour l année prochaine ou l année d apres 😁

Komfortable Villa, zauberhaftes Dörfchen und sehr sympathische Eigentümer
Wir waren im Juni in der Sportsvilla mit unserem fast zweijährigen Sohn, einem weiteren Pärchen und dem Cousin meines Mannes für 8 Nächte. Die Villa hat eine super Lage, eigene überdachte! Stellplätze und ist sehr modern eingerichtet und bietet allen möglichen Komfort. Die Küche ist mit allem, was man braucht ausgestattet und ein Pluspunkt waren auf jeden Fall der Pool mit Kinderbereich, der Grill, die vielen Spielgeräte drausen, der Fitnessbereich mit Sauna und Jacuzzi, den wir auch genutzt haben, sowie die Reinigung die wir zweimal hatten. Kinder sind auf jeden Fall hier willkommen! Bei unserer Ankunft erwartete uns bereits ein gedeckter Tisch, die Gastfreundschaft von Antonis und Georgia waren kaum zu übertreffen, an unseren Sohn haben sie auch immer gedacht. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl in der Villa, und auch im Dorf Pigi. Es gibt einige Tavernen und kleine Minimärkte, und eine Bäckerei, Metzger also alles was man braucht. Das Essen in den Tavernen war gut und authentisch und günstig! Wir hatten dort eine gute Zeit! Vielen Dank nochmal an Antonis und Georgia!

TOP!
We, a family of 3 with a friend of our teenage son, stayed at the Sportsvilla from 26.09.2017 till 03.10.2017. We can merely repeat what all the other reviewers have described and praised with regard to the house, its furniture & equipment, the leisure possibilities, village & surroundings and owners. We were unlucky with the weather which can happen. Surely Antonis would have changed it if he could. Pigi however is located so centrally and on a relatively narrow part of the isle, that we were able to find dry and more importantly sunny spots anyway, within reasonable distance. We definitely consider coming back to this place.

From doing fitness to relax at the pool is everything included!
We had a great stay at sportsvilla for 10 days. The house is very nice and modern. You find everything between doing fitness in the house gym and hanging out at the pool or relax in the whirlpool. In the house you find everything you need for a nice and relaxing holiday. The villa is locatet in a nice small village but is just about 10 minutes away from Rethymnon, one of the nicest towns on Crete, where you find everything. We can just recommend the sportsvilla in all points. The owner of the villa is very kind and courteous. The pool was serviced twice a week and the house was also cleaned twice a week which was great service!! Thank you very much for the nice stay here on Crete! Hope to meet again!

Excellent séjour dans une maison fidèle à l'annonce
Nous avons séjourné 3 semaines dans une villa encore mieux que sur les photos, idéalement située entre Héraklion et Chania à 2 km de la plage la plus proche. Villa moderne, meublée avec goût et avec tout le confort nécessaire (machines, wi-fi, équipement de la cuisine...).Les propriétaires sont à l'écoute de leurs locataires: accueil, conseil de visites et restaurants. Toujours prêts à rendre service, à tel point qu'ils sont allés jusqu'à acheter une machine expresso suite à notre question ! Le service est irréprochable avec un ménage, plus entretien de la piscine effectué deux fois par semaine (avec changement des draps et des serviettes). Sur les 4 occupants, 2 étant très sportifs, ont pu apprécier la qualité ainsi que le nombre d'équipements de la salle de sport. Les 2 autres ont également pu apprécier les bienfaits du SPA et du Sauna ! Un séjour inoubliable que nous recommandons à tous ceux qui souhaitent passer des vacances en Crête, bien placées, sportives et au calme! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir ! Merci à Antonis pour sa disponibilité et sa sympathie naturelle! Loïc et Marie-Noëlle
