A wonderful home from home
The Alpha Villa and Spa was a wonderful holiday location, where we wanted for nothing. The setting, the facilities and the service were all first class. Akis was there to meet us and made sure we had everything we needed and more. The complimentary concierge service and daily cleaning made it feel more like a private hotel than just the beautiful villa it was.

Incredible luxury for an epic trip!
We instantly fell in love with the Alpha Estate. It is luxurious and spacious with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. We laughed, loved and we’re always seeing something new at this property because of all the textures, textiles and beautiful surroundings, both inside and outside of the estate. We left some secrets and it left a stamp on our hearts too!

Couldn't have been better!
Our stay at the Alpha Estate was fantastic. The villa is beautiful (inside and out) and the owner is extremely responsive. Alpha Estate exceeded the very high expectations of our three generation family (two seniors, four adults, four grandchildren). The pool, living areas, and amenities are all top-notch. The rental management company--etouri--was very helpful in arranging activities and meeting all of our needs. An A+ experience!

comfortabel huis vlakbij Rethymnon
Ruim huis met mooie tuin en zwembad vlakbij de erg gezellige stad Rethymnon. Wij vonden het jammer dat het zwembad voor de helft erg ondiep was (0.80 meter) maar voor mensen met kinderen kan dit een voordeel zijn. ga in Rethymnon vooral eten bij Prima Plora en Cavo aan de kust. Super!
