Open the doors to the veranda and connect the living room area with the pool and the garden. On the same floor there is a bathroom with shower and a bedroom with 2 single beds which can be transformed to a double one if its needed, this room has direct access to the pool area. On the first floor there is another bedroom with a king size double bed and the main bathroom with Jacuzzi bath.

Charming villa
This well-appointed property is perfectly located, with easy access to Hania, Rethymno and Heraklion and Aegean coast, as well as the Mediterranean beaches on the southern side of the island. The layout of the Villa suited my family (husband, wife and two daughters), and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Would recommend :)

Best place to stay in the area hands down
We had trouble finding a nice place around the area. Of all the places we passed by, we were glad we found such a great place. Thalasses is clean, has a great staff and is in a pretty central location to some great beaches. The owner gave us some awesome recommendations so be sure to take advantage of his expertise! He was super nice and helpful. We traveled with our 5 and 3 year old daughters. They loved the plunge pool/hot tub in the backyard. I enjoyed having a small kitchen to prep a little food and the beds were comfortable as well. The villa had everything we needed. One of the few places with air conditioning! I would suggest renting a car if you're staying here. There is a private beach with some beach chairs--a great place to catch some sun, but honestly not that great of a sandy beach for kids. Overall, we would totally stay here again if we are back in Crete.

Séjour très agréable et reposant
Les directions pour trouver la propriété depuis l'aéroport d'héraklion étaient très précises, nous n'avons eu aucun mal à trouver. Nous avons été accueillis par le propriétaire, très sympathique et avenant. La villa avait été préparée spécialement pour notre lune de miel, et on nous a offert une bouteille de pétillant. Tout était propre et en très bon état, le ménage était fait quotidiennement et les draps changés tous les 2 jours. Très proche de la plage, et proposant des transats privés, la villa est située à 2 pas de Rethymno, une ville charmante proposant tout ce dont on pourrait avoir besoin ou envie (restaurants, magasins, supermarchés etc). Côté divertissements, la villa est dotée d'une piscine assez grande et d'un jacuzzi (le notre étant tombé en panne durant notre séjour, le propriétaire n'a pas hésité à nous ouvrir une seconde villa pour que l'on puisse profiter du jacuzzi). Il y a également la télé et un lecteur blu-ray (avec quelques blu-rays mis à disposition également, en anglais toutefois). La literie était très confortable, et la maison étant située dans un endroit très calme, nous n'avons jamais subi de nuisances sonores. En bref, un excellent séjour, nécessitant certes un certain budget, mais qui restera dans nos mémoires. Vivement recommandé !
