Prines Paradise

Villa Phaedra was an impeccably clean and beautifully maintained property. All the amenities were there: fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, beautiful pool and landscape. The villa had large bedrooms with very comfortable beds. The little town of Prines has several very nice restaurants, coffee shop and a mini-market. It's location a few miles from Rethymno make it a perfect midpoint for exploring the island. Aleksandra our warm and gracious host had prepared a wonderful lunch for us when we arrived ( it was delicious). Later she brought us some of her own homemade orange preserve and lemonade concentrate...both out of this world! Finally, we highly recommend Villa Phaedra to anyone who wants to experience a small Cretan town and have the opportunity to meet a warm and wonderful person as well. A heartfelt thanks to Alexandra Apostolaki who made us feel so at home.

Amazing and wonderful place to stay with family!

Visiting Crete was my wife’s life dream and staying at Alexandra’s villa was a dream come true! Alexandra greeted my family of five with three sons with a Cretan lunch which was wonderful. It was very comfortable and could easily hold more people. The villa is spacious, clean and beautiful. She has very nice taste in her decor too. It is very quiet and private with a clean and beautiful pool. This was our first time using VRBO and was even better than advertised. Alexandra will answer emails in less than 24 hours and was very helpful with answering questions and providing advice. As Americans, this was our first time for my family visiting Crete and Alexandra made us feel at home. The nearby city of Prines has very nice restaurants especially Giannikos Taverna which is 5 minute drive. We can not stop talking about Alexandra’s amazing villa to people here in the US!

A Place Like Home!

Our stay at Alexandra's villa was perfect. The house exceeded our expectations. It was spacious for our family of five (three lovely bedrooms, two of them opening up to a lovely balcony patio) and a kitchen where we could easily make and eat leisurely meals. The best part of the villa though is Alexandra. She greeted us with generous hospitality (home-made lemonade, pastry and raki) and we woke up one morning to find a pasta-chicken casserole waiting for us on our doorstep! The house and pool were immaculately clean, and well-maintained. I highly recommend Alexandra's villa, and would return there in a heartbeat!

Tolles Ferienhaus

Wir waren zu viert in dieser Ferienunterkunft und waren sehr sehr zufrieden. Wir wurden von der Besitzerin Alexandra mit einem Essen und allen wichtigen Informationen empfangen. Das Haus ist schöner als auf den Bildern und mit allen wichtigen Sachen ausgestattet. Bei Bedarf auch komplett klimatisiert. Der Pool ist sauber und es gibt vier Liegen und schattige Plätze. Terrasse ist überdacht und man kann auf einen Balkon auch noch sitzen. Alles ist gut beleuchtet, das man dann auch Abends etwas draußen machen kann. WLAN vorhanden und funktioniert.Das Haus liegt ruhig in einer Seitenstraße und man kann zu Fuß in den Ort zu den drei sehr guten Tavernen gehen. Die Lage ist ideal. Wir waren jetzt das zweite mal in der gleichen Ecke und würden jederzeit diese Ferienunterkunft wieder wählen. 100% Weiterempfehlung !!

Prines

Der Aufenthalt in der Villa Phaedra war sehr schön. Alles war sauber und die Einrichtung landestypisch. Der Tisch auf der Terrasse hätte etwas größer sein können und es gab nur 4 Sonnenliegen für 6 Personen. Aber insgesamt waren wir sehr zufrieden.
