Om overnatningsstedet

Amari Villas: ro og komfort i den virkelige Kreta

Amari Villas har udsigt over terrakottahustagerne i landsbyen Amari og består af to sammenhængende egenskaber - Villa Idi og Villa Samitos - der dateres tilbage til midten af ​​det 19. århundrede. Ejendommen omfatter en swimmingpool.

Amari Villas er en traditionel stenbygget bolig og var det tidligere hjem for ejerens bedsteforældre. En typisk landlig bolig bygget i midten af ​​1800'erne, i dag udstråler ejendommen en unik charme, med sin følsomme renovering omhyggeligt at blande originale træk med moderne komfort.

Amari landsby ('Nefs Amari') er en lille traditionel landsby i hjertet af Rethymno-provinsen i det centrale Kreta. Amari Villas ligger 40 minutters kørsel syd for Rethymno by og ligger på høj grund lige under landsbyens venetianske kirke med fantastisk udsigt over Amari-dalen til det højeste bjerg på Kreta - Mount Ida (Psiloritis).

Villaernes indretning omfatter en kombination af traditionelle møbler og historiske genstande - herunder brændeovne - med moderne køkkener, centralvarme, klimaanlæg og moderne apparater.

De to villaer - 'Idi' og 'Samitos' (opkaldt efter bjergene, der bærer landsbyen Amari) består af et samlet areal på 320 kvadratmeter. Hver har sit eget velindrettede køkken og stor stue med pejs, og sammen giver seks soveværelser og fem badeværelser. Op til 16 gæster kan indkvarteres komfortabelt i villaerne, men ekstra kapacitet med ekstra senge er muligt. Wi-Fi er tilgængelig i hele ejendommene, og hver villa er udstyret med et fladskærms-tv og en udstyrskompatibel DVD / CD afspiller / hjemmebiograf.

Amari Villas 'swimmingpool er en del af Villa Idi's terrasse. Med en fantastisk udsigt til Mount Ida og over dalen, omfatter terrassen en grill og spiseplads. En anden terrasse, en del af Villa Samitos, giver endnu et større spiseplads.

Amari Villas er en unik ejendom i regionen, der kombinerer luksus og komfort uden sidestykke i Amari-dalen. Amari, der ligger centralt i dalen, er ideel til vandrere og besøgende, der ønsker at udforske landskabet og de omkringliggende samfund.

Ligger lige ud fra Kretas nord- og sydkyst, er Amari Villas perfekt placeret, så gæsterne har nem adgang til sydkystens smukke (og mindre brugte) strande samt den mere udviklede nordkyst. Den gamle bydel i Rethymno er mindre end en times kørsel væk, så det er nemt at besøge dette populære sted - en af ​​de mest intakte middelalderbyer i Grækenland.

Gæsteservice

Villaen er kigget af "fru Rumy" (udtalet "rummelig"), der bor i nærheden, og hun er tilgængelig til at tage sig af alle gæsters behov, herunder skift af sengetøj og rengøring. Som en højtuddannet kok tilbyder fru Rumy også gæsterne et eksklusivt udvalg af autentiske kretensiske og middelhavsretter. Alle måltider er hjemmelavede, der bruger friske sæsonbestandige ingredienser - alt fra lokale leverandører. Priserne for måltider er til rådighed på anmodning.

børn

For unge og unge i hjertet har Amari Villas en række legetøj, spil, bøger og film at vælge imellem i hver villa. Barnesenge og barnestole er tilgængelige. Landsbyen har en basketball og volleyballbane samt åbne pladser til spil, og manglen på trafik i landsbyen tilbyder et sikkert og venligt miljø for børn at udforske.

Dit ophold

Ved din ankomst vil ejer Manolis Papadakis være der for at byde dig velkommen. Højt kendskab til ejendommen og områdets rige historie, vil Manolis være glad for at dele med dig historien om huset, hans familie og Amari.

Ejendommen Amari Villas har ejet ejerens familie i mere end 150 år. Fra bygningens tidligste tider var det et sted, hvor naboer og samfundet mødtes for glædesammenkomster. Ønsker at afspejle denne værdifulde arv har ejeren dekoreret villaerne med unikke broderier af sin mor og bedstemor og har bevaret mange af de antikke genstande og møbler i det oprindelige hus.

Disse delikate stykker lever i live den traditionelle karakter af huset - dyrebare arvestykker, der tager os tilbage i tiden, og minder os om Amari Villa's rige historie.
Haven omkring villaerne indeholder mange blomster, aromatiske urter og træer. Gæsterne kan frit vælge havenes produkter, der omfatter urter, mandler, citroner og granatæbler.

Din rejse til Amari

Heraklion og Chania lufthavne er cirka 100 km fra landsbyen Amari, og en rejse med bil fra enten vil tage ikke meget mere end 90 minutter. Mens Amari-dalen serviceres med offentlig transport, anbefales det stærkt. Ejeren kan give anbefalinger til biludlejning udbydere i Chania, Heraklion eller Rethymno. Pick-ups fra en hvilken som helst lufthavn kan arrangeres.

Delightful accommodation in a beautiful setting.

We have just enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks at Amari villas with our daughters and grandchildren. We had plenty of space and privacy - there were 9 of us--and the villas are well equipped and comfortable and beautifully traditional. We were welcomed warmly by our host Manolis who could not have done any more to make our stay better with excellent information on the locality and surrounding area. Mrs Rumy cooked delicious cretan food for us on request and looked after our every need- our granchildren loved her.We highly recommend this holiday property.

Amazing Place and Host!

We loved our stay at Amari Villas and our four days there were the highlight of our Crete trip. The villa itself is so interesting and traditional feeling, yet has all the modern comforts and was spotlessly clean. The location is special, with access to the mountains and both coasts. And Manolis was the most wonderful host. He sent us tons of useful information and advice about stuff to do in the area and made sure we had everything we needed in the house. Mrs Rumy's food was absolutely wonderful and she took such great care of us. We loved everything about the place and it was a truly special experience.

Peaceful, spacious and friendly

The pictures don`t lie! This is a beautifully restored residence with quaint charm and lovely outdoor space. We were 9 grown ups and one toddler, and the place never felt cramped. Amari is a peaceful little village with great surroundings. We spent the time hiking in the nearby area and exploring the exciting gorges of Platania and Patsos. The younger members of the party drove to the beach on both sides of the island. We also enjoyed Mrs Rumy´s wonderful cooking and our host Manolis great knowledge about the area. Our personal favourite: hiking in the mountains behind Meronas and then lunch at Moshovolies taverna. Great hike, great food!

Peace and quiet in a typical rural Cretan village

My husband and I, along with our adult children and their partners, rented both villas. Manolis, the owner, could not have been more helpful, arranging transfers, offering advice as to outings, restaurants etc and leaving us a wonderful supply of local produce on arrival. Whilst recently completely modernised, the villas have been in his family for four generations so old family photographs adorn the walls and his grandmother's embroidered cloths the tables adding a warm historical presence to the lovely architecture. The villas' position in the quiet and picturesque village of Amari allows for beautiful views and pleasant breezes with several different balconies for sun or shade as required, a small pool and BBQ area. Mrs Rumy is an unobtrusive and helpful care-taker plus an excellent cook. Three of the bedrooms have a mezzanine floor with additional beds which we didn't need but would be great for families with young children. Renting a car is a must as this is an out-of-the-way, unspoilt area. We highly recommend Amari Villas for a simple, relaxing holiday.

ein Juwel in den Kretas Mitte

Wenn es möglich wäre, ich würde 6 oder sogar 7 Sterne vergeben !!! Wir haben in einer Gruppe mit 15 Leuten drei wunderschöne Wochen in den Amari Villas verbracht. Als Gast erfährt man hier eine selten erlebte Herzlichkeit, Fürsorge und Hilfsbereitschaft. Manolis, der Besitzer und Rumy, die Hausdame sind auf angenehme Art sehr bemüht, allen Gästen den Aufenthalt so komfortabel und entspannt wie möglich zu machen. Bei der Ankunft findet man ein umfangreiches Willkommenspaket (Honig, Öl, Käse,Oliven, Brot, Kuchen,Kaffee, Butter etc.) und auch sonst ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Die Häuser sind perfekt ausgestattet, mit allem was man sich vorstellen kann. Die vielen, sehr guten Empfehlungen von Manolis haben einzigartige Erlebnisse möglich gemacht. Ebenso war es eine Freude, Rumy´s regionale Küche zu probieren und vieles über Zutaten und Zubereitung zu erfahren. Die Häuser sind perfekt gelegen, um sowohl die Strände und Orte an der Südküste, als auch alles im Norden gut zu erreichen. Außerdem findet man in der näheren Umgebung eine Menge zum Erkunden und Bestaunen oder man sitzt einfach entspannt auf einer der vielen Terrassen und genießt den Ausblick. Wir würden sehr gern wieder kommen und freuen uns jetzt schon auf die nächste Reise nach Amari.

One of the great places to stay in Crete

Amari Villas has been converted into two very comfortable and very well equipped places to stay in one of the most beautiful valleys in the whole of Crete, Greece, Europe or the world. One of them has a swimming pool, the other has the most wonderful terrace looking over the olive groves, oakwoods and high mountain slopes of the Amari valley. Sit there for a few hours reading a book, listening to the songbirds, nibbling on some of Mrs Rumy's delicious spinach pies—she is the housekeeper of both villas—and I can guarantee you that you will never have felt quite so good about life and the world.

Fabulous Amari Villas

Amari Villas is the perfect place to spend a few days or a few months! The villas are perfectly located so as to visit the cities of Chania and Rethymnon on the north coast as well as seaside villages on the south coast. In addition there are several smaller mountain villages near the villas that are worthy of exploration. Manolis, the owner, is the perfect host. He is attentive in every way- from responding to emails and providing all kinds of information about the surrounding area. He provides a welcome package upon arrival- fruit, jams, coffee, tea, cheeses, bread, eggs and wine. His housekeeper, Rumy, is a gem. She will cook delicious meals for the group and is always on hand to answer questions and make sure your vacation is perfect. The villas themselves are very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for a large group (we were a group of 11 adults). The pool is a delight and kept sparkling clean by Rumy. There is a large balcony to accommodate everyone or smaller ones if privacy is desired. There are plenty of family-owned tavernas in the nearby villages with excellent food at reasonable prices. Banks, petro stations, ATMs, food markets, pharmacies - all available within a few minutes drive. We've stayed here twice and are looking forward to returning in the near future. It's the perfect vacation spot to explore beautiful Crete.

Lovely and Spacious Villa

I organized a retreat for 8 women, and this beautiful villa more than suited our needs. The view from the terrace of the mountain was incredible. Manolis and Roumy were really helpful with everything, and we really appreciated the maps and guides that he provided before and upon arrival. We ordered food from Roumy one evening, and everything was delicious. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding villages, as well as the going to the beach on the southern shore. I will say, though, it's a significant drive from either main airport with lots of windy roads. With two pregnant women, the extended driving to get to stuff made it a little rough. If you are looking for something peaceful and off the beaten path, though, this is a really great place.

An Oasis in the Mountains

Myself and 10 friends rented the 2 adjoining villas for 10 days and it was an absolute delight. Manolis, the owner was there to welcome us upon arrival and gave a tour of the villas, along with info regarding the surrounding area which was very much appreciated. There is also a welcome pack provided with maps and lots of different information about the Island and the Amari area as well as a welcome basket containingg teas, honey, olives, breads and fruits which was a lovely touch. The views alone would be enough for anyone to enjoy their holiday but the villas were exceptional. Ample room and relaxation space, each villa had it's own kitchen, which as a group of 11 was very much welcomed. Beautifully decorated rooms and very spacious with plenty of private balcony space to enjoy time alone away from the rest of the group when needed. The house keeper; Roumy, is a lovely lady, very friendly and cooked the most amazing meal for us, which you can request and pick from a specially selected menu. Not sure what more I can say, this was one of my most favourite holidays and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to holiday in Crete. I would very much like to return one day!

Unforgettable paradise in middle of Crete

We were a group of 5 families enjoying an unforgettable summer's week in Amari Villa. The Villas are located in the middle of Crete in the picturesque mountain village of Amari. It is a perfect location because you are away from crowded tourist areas, however you can make at any time day trips to the South as well as to the North. The access to the villa is very easy thanks to details supplied by the owner Manolis. Moreover, he provided us a lot of proposals of trips around the whole Island, he indicated the wonderful places and exquisite restaurants with traditional Greek cuisine. The view from the villa is breathtaking especially in the evening when the sun sets behind Samitos and Idi Mt. Amari villas are modern and of very high standards while preserving the Cretan traditional style of the old family house once standing there. The villas are beautifully decorated with an extra effort about tiny detail. Bedrooms are spacious and well designed. Kitchen is well equipped with every appliances you may need. There are balconies everywhere: small balconies where you can be alone. as well as an immense terrace for our whole group where you can eat together admiring the old bell tower which is illuminated at night and listening to the soft sheeps' bells. The villas are submerged into the exceptional plants. The fragrance of flowers and herbs floats in the air. Two abundant welcoming baskets awaited us with local olive oil, honey, eggs, milk, cheese, eggs, fruits, vegetables, bread, butter, feta, wine, raki and excellent jams made by the house keeper Roumy. Besides Roumy is a real treasure and excellent cook. The owner Manolis is very charming and friendly. They makes you feel at home. We have rented a lot of houses in various parts of South Europe and we can confirm the opinion of other guests that we have never rented a place that was so well attended to by the owner. I hope we will stay in touch and we come back to this paradise soon.

Fabuous place to stay on Crete

We were a group of friends from the States looking for a place on Crete that could accommodate us comfortably- and we found it at Amari Villas. Located in central Crete in the moutains south of Rethymno it is perfectly positioned for day trips to the south coast as well as the northern coast cities of Chania and Iraklion.. What made the stay so special, however, was the owner, Manolis, his housekeeper Roumy, and Roumy's kitten, Rishko. Manolis is the perfect host. His attention to our comfort went beyone what anyone could expect. Throughout our two weeks at Amari, Manolis stopped by to give us ideas as to where to go, where to eat, and even took a small group of us on a visit to locat sites. He met us upon arrival, helped carry our luggage, and got us acquainted with the villa. Two welcoming baskets also awaited us- beer, wine, milk, cheese, bread, eggs, yogurt, fruit, and vegetables- mostly organic. The villa itself is really two villas- attached. We rented both sides due to the size of our group (13) and it worked out perfectly. One can easily go from one side to the other through balconies or a passageway in the lower level. The villas are immaculately clean and beautifully decorated with remembrances of his grandmother whose house this was. It's completely updated with modern conveniences- air conditioning/heat, bathrooms, and comfortable furniture. There are balconies everywhere- one large enough for our whole group to sit together and enjoy the spectacular views of Mt. Idi and Mt.Samitos. Smaller balconies provide a bit more privacy where one can read a book or just be alone. A feature that we all enjoyed was the home-cooked meals that Roumy prepared for us- using locally grown vegetables and fruit- and turning them into very tasty Greek dishes- moussaka being one of the favorites. We are very familiar with home-stays, having rented in various parts of Europe and Central America. However, we've never rented a place that was so well attended to by the owner. Manolis really puts his heart into making sure everything goes well. I communicated with him for several months before we arrived and he answered all of my questions/concerns promptly with great patience, detail, and humor. We thoroughly enjoyed Villa Amaris and recommend it highly to visitors who wish to get awy from the crowed tourist areas, but at the same time be near enough to visit them.
