Amazing Villa and Location
This villa was such a lucky find, so beautiful inside and clean and stunning gardens and pool area. We arrived on the name day celebrations and were invited by the host and family to join them. The streets were filled, food and drink served and live music played. The area is perfectly situation in the mountains in a quiet village but only a short drive to the coast north and south and attractions. The host Fillippos was the best, so helpful and welcoming. Already booked again for next year.

Great Villa, Great location.
Lovely modern Villa with amazing views of the mountains. It is light and airy with lovely duel aspect bedrooms. Filippos is a great host, listen to his recommendations of beaches to visit and places to eat as they really are great. The local taverna was so amazing that we went 3 times best food we have eaten. The location of this Villa is great in that it is easy to visit both the beaches on the north and the south of the island which have different characteristics in about 30 minutes. We would return again.

vacances dépaysantes
La location est très agréable. Pensez à louer une voiture car la villa est loin de tout. Filippos est très accueillant, serviable et disponible. Il a toujours de bons conseils sur les sorties, plages et restaurants. N'hésitez pas à lui demander son avis il connait très bien son île. Merci à lui

Amazing property
We rented the house for 8 people. The property is huge with a pool house. The access can be tricky but it’s only 20min from Rethymno and less than 30min from many southern and northern beaches. Thanks for Filippos for his various recommendations that were always spot on! Highly recommend for a Cretan retreat !

Villa très agréable et idéalement située
Villa très agréable et bien équipée dans un très beau jardin, au calme à 20 min de Rethymon et proche des plages du sud. Ideal pour visiter l ouest de l île. Filippos notre hôte est très attentif à notre bien être et à notre écoute, il a aussi de bonnes adresses à faire partager. Notre séjour était parfait.

Schöner Urlaub fernab vom Stress
Ein sehr schönes Haus auf dem Berg in Oros, was sich allerdings als ein Haupthaus mit Einliegerwohnung entpuppt hat. An sich kein Problem, stand nur nirgends.

Traumhaft
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in diesem großartigen, sehr gepflegten Ferienhaus. Äussert ruhig gelegen, eingebettet in einen tollen großen Garten mit einem fantastischem Weitblick bis zu den weissen Bergen war das Haus ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um sowohl die Süd- als auch die Nordküste Kretas zu erkunden. Dazu kam mit Filippos nicht nur ein überaus sympathischer, sondern auch sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stand, falls man Fragen hatte. Er hat uns darüberhinaus gerne mit Links versorgt, so daß das Auswählen und Aussuchen von Restaurants/Tavernas oder anderen Ausflugszielen ein Leichtes war. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Perfect accommodation
The house is situated in a very small village in the hills and is very beautiful: huge, nice pool, house decorated and equipped in a very tasteful and practical style. Huge facilities with very nice barbecue area and even a pizza oven where you can sit. Nice view over the mountains. Very good restaurant in the neighbouring village. Good if you do not want to be at the beach every day. However, very nice beaches not too far. But you need a car. Very likeable and helpful owner!

Kleines Paradise
Corona zwang uns kurzfristig unseren Urlaub zu ändern und hierher zu kommen. Aber es war kein Notlösung es war der Hauptpreis. Filippos ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber, der das richtige Gespür für Menschen hat. Er ist mit Herzblut dabei und versorgt einen bei Bedarf mit Tipps und Infos zur Umgebung, bleibt dabei aber angenehm unaufdringlich. Die Villa (gefällt mir, das sie in griechischem Besitz ist) > Die Fotos lügen nicht. Wundervoller Platz zum relaxen, toller BBQ Platz, tolle Aussicht und ein hervorragender, zuvorkommender Gastgeber. Uneingeschränke Empfehlung von uns. Oder im Internetstil > 5 Sterne, Volle Punktzahl.
