Villa Anastasia
We had a lovely 10 days in Crete and will be back next year. Just not at this villa. Villa Anastasia is located centrally if you want to explore, hiring a car is a must. The villa itself is traditionally decorated and has everything you would need, bedrooms are lovely. Showers are small making it less relaxing but perfectly adequate. Living room is open plan with the kitchen and small, but it was functional and we were out every day so did not pose a problem. The garden and pool are the real gem of this villa, plenty of space and shade. Dips in the pool after our days at the beach were great, water was lovely and warm. The building next door is under construction which does create a lot of noise but this will be temporary. There are a couple of loose floor tiles that could do with repair but did not bother us, might be more of a concern if you have young children. The only issue we had was the wedding venue opposite the villa. It caters for hundreds of people and has very loud live music. On the first Sat we were there live music went on until 05:00am then as the band packed up the guests sang until 05:45am. None of my family were able to sleep. Speaking with locals this happens every/most Saturdays. I think this should be included in the villa description and at the very least, ear plugs provided with the welcome pack. We wasted the following day of our holiday catching up on sleep.

Some time to adjust
We found the Villa Anastasia clean and charming inside. The outdoor space is the highlight of this property with a nice pool and pleasing outdoor courtyard with plants and evening lighting The Villa itself in my opinion is really suited for those desiring to be in a more remote village than near the heart of Rethymno. Our initial arrival at night and perception found the area run down. The neighbor hood a mixture of nice homes and vacant lots or neglected properties. For several nights dogs barked for hours making sleep difficult without earplugs While the local people and restaurants were great and friendly it took me several days to feel completey comfortable. The bathroom upstairs is also too small for anyone over 5 foot 9. This should be noted in the listing. I do not want to sound negative as the property was nice. Just not for everyone in my opinion. The property management firm needs to be more open about the listing In the end we did enjoy Crete but may have chosen something closer to the old Port

Great spot for the Rethymnon experience
Very quaint property. Excellent location, three restaurants and a mini market within a few minutes walk; would highly recommend Giannikos who was very helpful. Three double/twin rooms, one upstairs. The upstairs one was very cosy but a few possible draw backs, depending on who the occupants were. The staircase was very steep and led straight from the kitchen with no door, not a problem for us but could be if you are seeking privacy from the rest of the house. Also, the shower tray was tiny with a shower curtain which constantly stuck to you. The kitchen was small and not really suitable for cooking / washing up for a family meal but adequate for breakfast/ lunches. Downstairs bedrooms shared a bathroom which also housed the washing machine. Outside kitchen good for BBQ. There were a lot of trees on the grounds which shed many leaves / olives, so the table and pool area needed sweeping frequently. Good sturdy external gate, felt very secure although neighbourhood was also very quiet and safe. Pool lovely, although needs a little maintenance on the tiling / grouting and would benefit from a handrail near the steps. The curtains on the cabana were torn, needed repair and were taken away the second week. The keys and key card for electricity were on same key ring so to lock the gate or front door, the power had to go off; not great when returning at midnight. It sounds like a lot of grumbles but really our stay was lovely, just a few little niggles.

Fantastic villa, lovely village
As two couples with babies (7 and 8 months), we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. We can't fault the villa, its grounds, or the village at all, and the town of Rethimno, with its harbour, shops, and old town, are just a short drive away. The way the outside space is designed means that there always choices of shade, and all of them lovely spaces in different ways. The pool is a good size and the loungers all comfy and with the option of shade or sun. The olive trees, fruit trees, grape vines, and flowering plants all add to the aesthetic and the relaxing atmosphere. We also enjoyed the barbecue and hanging out with the friendly cat. The villa itself looks stunning in its surroundings and is comfortable and clean inside. We were provided with two cots (thanks!) and all the towels, bedding, etc. were in really good condition. We were well looked after by Despina and were made incredibly welcome by everyone in the village, from the excellent tavernas to the small shop. All in all, a fantastic holiday in a beautiful and tasteful villa in a great location.

Beautiful setting, peaceful & wonderful generosity! Would highly recommend Villa Anastasia.
Great location very close to Rethymnon town, plenty of parking on a quiet road. The villa was clean, comfortable & peaceful. The outside area is stunning & the pool was perfect! The garden had very nice furniture. The hosts Anastasia & Eleni were so welcoming & even baked delicious cakes which they left for us to come home to. So very generous & kind. It was well looked after, being cleaned daily with fresh towels & lots of little shampoos, creams & slippers :) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & I would highly recommend Villa Anastasia.

Charming house and spacious and private backyard
The house had so much character and charm, plus it was very clean and maintained. Anastasia was an amazing host and even left us little baked goodies. The backyard offered lots of privacy and was a great place to hang out, do yoga, have a family dinner or cool off in the pool. The house was located a walking distance from 3 really good restaurants. Our favorite was Veranta but Olives was a close second and Adonis, the owner of Olives was so helpful in making sure our time in Crete was amazing. The island of Crete was rugged and offered beautiful views of the mountains and valleys. But one of our favorite things about the island was all the Mom and Pop taverna's in the little villages (My grandmother made this was the usual response...). Totally recommend and was very different than our days in Santorini (although we loved that also).

memorable family vacation
The property was outstanding and the owners were very detailed oriented making sure that our stay would be memorable. The villa is centrally located but the grounds are very peaceful. There was no road noise even though we were within walking distance to family owned restaurants and markets. The pool area was relaxing and well kept--we were serenading with the lovely chirping of birds each day. The bedrooms were spacious for 6 adults-2 on the first floor and a romantic master with ensuite on the second floor. We had ample space in the kitchen and the outdoor dining and BBQ area provided additional space as well. The villa is well maintained and cared for by the owners. What made this place special were the owners and their attention to detail! Anastasia was positively a wonderful woman who cares about people. She had the refrigerator stocked with food for breakfast and then she baked us the most delicious apple cake when she found out we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. When we left she gave us a jar of homemade orange marmalade! Elena was always available if we had any questions. The central location of the villa made it easy to drive to Heraklion, Chania and the south area of Crete. Rethymno, one of our favorite cities was a 10 minute drive with lots of things to explore. Thak you Anastasia for making this a memorable family vacation!

Lovely villa, great location
Stayed 5 nights in early May. The villa is a decent size, with a lovely patio outside and around the pool. Easy to get to from the main road, though Google Maps will take you down the back roads if you come from Chania. The grounds are very private; no view from the road and not overlooked. The kitchen area is small but functional and there is a built-in bbq outside which is perfect for lunchtime. There are two double bedrooms and a twin room; one bedroom is mezzanine-style (no door) but has an en-suite. There is another shared bathroom downstairs for the double and twin rooms. There are insect grilles over the windows, so it was comfortable enough to sleep with windows open and not use the aircon. Anastasia is a lovely hostess who made us feel very welcome, and for whom nothing was too much trouble. She baked me a cake for my birthday! The village has three tavernas, of which we tried two. Giannikos is one of the top-rated places in the Rethymno area, and Veranta is comparatively new. Both serve home-cooked style food, and both are great. There is one small shop in Prines selling packet food; the supermarket CRM Ariadne on the other side of Atsipopolou is probably the best local source of food, and there's a cake shop and a meat shop a bit further down. I have no hesitation in recommending this villa if you want a comfortable, village-style holiday whilst being close to the main highway and only about a 15 min drive to Rethymno.

A wonderful holiday
We have just come to the end of a wonderful stay at Villa Anastasia. The villa has everything that you need: it's very luxurious both inside and out. The beds are really comfortable, the kitchen is really well equipped and the outside space including the pool is amazing. Our 2 year old daughter loved her own personal play area. Anastasia is a fantastic host and a really lovely lady. We were greeted on arrival with lots of provisions including bread, wine, milk, eggs and much more. Anastasia then brought us little treats each day: delicious cheese and spinach pies and lovely desserts. After seeing our daughter playing shop in the garden Anastasia brought her some play fruit and vegetables the following day. The village of Prines is very pretty. We ate in all three tavernas and they are all very friendly and well worth a visit. This was our daughters first holiday abroad and she loved it. Parents and grandparents loved it too. Thank you Anastasia and Elena x

Villa très bien placée ! Mais à savoir proche d'un terrain de fête, donc quelques soirées avec musique assez forte mais qui ne nous a pas dérangé. L’extérieur est indéniablement le point fort de cette villa ! Magnifique jardin et piscine top. Piscine propre et très bien entretenue. En ce qui concerne l’intérieur petit bémol sur la « chambre parentale », en effet cette dernière est en mezzanine et non fermée ! Nous l’avons donc concédée à nos ados par manque d'intimité. La cafetière Dolce Gusto ne fonctionne pas donc peut-être utile de l'enlever afin d'éviter des frais inutiles par l’achat de capsules qui coûtent un certain prix... Villa agréable je recommande, idéal entre amis, famille ...

Wunderbarer Familienurlaub
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Es war sauber und es war alles da. Könnte mal renoviert werden und das Haus ist kleiner als es auf den Fotos erscheint. Aber für uns hat es gereicht (6 Erwachsene und 2 Kleinkinder) und dafür waren die lauen Abende unter den Olivenbäumen wunderschön. Die Tavernen im Dorf sind sehr gut, der Supermarkt hat ab 9.00 Uhr frisches Brot. Es war immer jemand erreichbar und alle waren sehr hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank dafür.

Leider nicht optimal
Das Häuschen liegt bei Rethymno in einer eher unattraktiven Siedlung ohne Sicht oder sonstige Besonderheiten. Die Umgebung ist eher laut (Baustelle, Festplatz). Anastasia ist nicht mehr Besitzerin Kontakt Bestand ausschließlich digital. Eher kleine und dunkle Unterkunft mit Küche/Wohn/Esszimmer von ca. 25m2. Ungepflegte Olivenbäume im Garten, die viel Schmutz machen, Badezimmer mit befriedigendem Standard, Geschirr war bei Ankunft tlw. deutlich verschmutzt. Wir waren enttäuscht, die Unterkunft entsprach nicht unseren Erwartungen.

Superbe emplacement dans une magnifique région où les gens sont particulièrement chaleureux. Mais…
Mais il n’y a plus madame Anastasia. À la place, des voisins ayant un chiot qui aboyait jour et nuit. C’est dommage car sans cela, notre séjour aurait valu 5 étoiles comme à l’habitude. À noter que nous devions être les premiers de la saison car le jardin n’était pas nettoyé. Encore une fois, je veux remercier les Crétois pour leur hospitalité et leur gentillesse.

Perfekt
Der erste Kontakt war schon überraschend, kurz nach Buchung erhielt ich einen Anruf von Annastasia und wir besprachen das weitere Vorgehen, auch als ein paar Tage später der Flug storniert wurde und wir umbuchen mussten, war alles kein Problem. Als wir ankamen, war der Kühlschrank fürs erste Überleben bestückt und Anastasia fragte uns um welche Uhrzeit sie täglich zum Reinigen kommen sollte. Da wir unsere paar Teller und Tassen selber abspülen können, sagten wir ihr, dass einmal die Woche völlig ausreichend sei. Sie lies es sich aber nicht nehmen und kam alle paar Tage mit leckerem Gebäck oder Kuchen vorbei und vergas auch nicht den Geburtstag meines Vaters und überraschte uns mit einer tollen Geburtstagstort. Das Haus ist super in Schuss und sauber. Auch der Garten mit netten Sitzgelegenheiten und Olivenbäumen sowie einen schönen Pool lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es gibt 3 Tavernen die alle in 5 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen sind, sowie einen kleinen Supermarkt bei dem man alles kaufen kann, was man braucht. Parkplätze sind am Haus genügend vorhanden und für Spaziergänge bietet sich der Ort selber an, erst meint man nur die Hauptstrasse und sonst nichts, aber nach ein paar Metern in die Seitengassen eröffnet sich der Charme von Prines. Katzen, Hunde, Ziegen und Schweine laufen frei oder in natürlicher Haltung rum, manchmal muss man etwas warten, wenn mal wieder eine Schafherde die Wege kreutzt. Mit dem Bus kommt man nach Rethymnon da es mit Parkplätzen in der Stadt etwas schwierig ist, Badestrände sind mit dem Auto in 15 Minuten zu erreichen oder man fährt an die Südküste in ca. 1 Stunde. Alles im Allen eine super Urlaub und für Eltern mit Kinder genau so zu empfehlen wie für Pärchen. Wir sagen nochmal Danke an Annastasia und Elena für die tollen 2 Wochen.

Un enchantement quotidien
Non seulement la villa est confortable, super équipée, décorée avec le sens du détail et très bien entretenue, comme l’illustrent les photos et la vidéo, mais en plus l’accueil qu’Anastasia nous a réservé à notre arrivée et ses attentions quotidiennes nous ont enchantés. C’est très agréable de se faire chouchouter, d’être reçu avec un très bon plat local et le frigo rempli pour le petit déjeuner, ce qui nous évite de faire des courses dès l’arrivée. On a pu profiter de la piscine malgré la fraîcheur d’avril, mon fils de 2 ans a adoré les installations (cabanes, jeux...) du jardin, les 2 chats de la maison, et les douceurs d’Anastasia. A la nuit tombée, l’éclairage du jardin avec tous les oliviers est très agréable. On a également profité des tavernes du village, avec là aussi un accueil super chaleureux, chez Giannikos notamment, et de très très bonnes spécialités et grillades. Après une semaine très reposante et dépaysante, on est parti avec l’idée de revenir un jour...(et avec un petit cadeau d’Anastasia !)
