Lovely quiet location
Perfect for unwinding. View from second floor balcony was stunning. Kostas and Maria were amazing. Kostas was there every day attending to whatever we needed. My recommendation would be to bring up Google maps, choose a general location then look to see what local farms, wineries and sights there are. Crete has a lot of this to offer.

Wonderful villa
Properties are very well presented, rustic but modern. Villa owners are amazing, so helpful with advice about trips etc. and Kostas would regularly buy me coffees delivered to the door! Maria owns a restaurant in the old town that is highly recommended, fabulous food and service, including baked goods provided to us at various points whilst we were sat by the pool! The family owners are so friendly, the local village has a couple of great traditional Greek tavernas and the pool is a good size for the property,though note you have to share with other renters (though this was never an issue). Only minor gripe is the shower is very average, and you have to plan a bath 30 minutes in advance,but this is no big deal when you are relaxing and have time on your side! In short, we will definitely be coming back and cannot speak highly enough of the owners, and also Etouri, the property managers, who provided a brilliant WhatsApp concierge service that included restaurant recommendations and bookings,taxi bookings etc. Absolute A+ service from all, thank you (even got a big bottle of olive oil to take home from Maria!).

A perfect stay with very kind hosts
We booked the Villa Notos in the wonderful Diktamos Villas area. Everything was as described. Actually even better. The house, the complex and the pool were very clean and pleasant. Our hosts were the couple Kostas and Maria, who take great care of their guests. They make you feel like you are visiting friends. Kostas is on his feet all day and looks after the entire complex. Although he is very busy, he takes a lot of time to answer every question about places to visit, the best beaches and everything else in detail. Maria also runs the "Knossos" restaurant, probably the most beautiful and definitely the most cozy restaurant in the Venetian port of Rethymnon with excellent food. We really enjoyed our stay and can fully recommend a holiday in the Diktamos Villas.

6 tolle Tage an einem wundervollen Ort Wir haben eine tolle Zeit hier verbracht, haben die Ruhe am Pool genossen und die Nähe zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Besonders angetan hat es uns Rethymno und ganz besonders die Taverne Knossos. Maria und Kostas waren tolle Gastgeber.

Séjour mitigé
Nous avons réservé la villa Notos pour 4 personnes. L'intérieur est effectivement conforme pour 4 mais la "terrasse" se révèle être un petit balcon avec une table carré pour 2 qui permet juste de prendre un petit déjeuner. Nous avons trouvé que la villa n'était pas propre à notre arrivée notamment les toilettes au rez de chaussée, cassés et souillés ! Le système pour la douche à l'étage était lui aussi cassé. Le propriétaire s'est montré gentil avec nous en nous offrant notamment le repas à notre arrivée mais trop intrusif à notre goût.

Liebevoll gestaltete familäre Häuser und sehr nette gastfreundliche Vermieter.
Tipps für Ausflüge sowie nette kulinarische Aufmerksamkeiten der Vermieter haben uns den Aufenthalt in diesem kleinen Ort nahe Rethymnon genießen lassen. Kleine Besorgungen sind problemlos vor Ort zu erledigen, für mehr Touristentrubel kann man das nahegelegene Rethymnon schnell erreichen. Wir haben eine schöne erholsame Woche mit viel purem Griechenlandflair erlebt.
