Familienurlaub typisch kretisch!

Wir (Familie mit vier Kindern) waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt in der "Villa Balsam". Das Ferienhaus liegt in einem kleinen Bergdorf und ist wie der Garten mit Pool sehr gepflegt und sauber. Die Aussicht ist überwältigend. Es riecht angenehm nach Blumen und Kräutern. Es gibt sogar 2x/Woche eine Hausreinigung mit frischer Bettwäsche, Handtüchern und Müllentsorgung. Für eine Großfamilie ist das Kücheninventar geeignet - es ist alles in ausreichender Zahl vorhanden und es gibt große Kochtöpfe. Man merkt überall in der Villa die Liebe zum Detail. Die Anwohner sind freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man kann in der Nähe vorzüglich in den Tavernen für kleines Geld essen. Kleine Supermärkte mit den notwendigen Dingen sind gut erreichbar. Der Service/die Kommunikation zu An-/und Abreise und während des Urlaubes ist sehr freundlich, es gibt ein Willkommenspaket und Abschiedsgeschenke! Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft unbedingt weiter!

super séjour !

Villa très bien placée, très spacieuse, un espace piscine exceptionnel. Les propriétaires sont très bien et très a l'écoute. La villa est extrêmement agréable à vivre et il ne manque rien. L'espace extérieur est fabuleux pour les repas de toute la famille. Nous reviendrons dans cette villa si nous revenons en Grèce.

About the host

Hosted by Elisavet Kallitsounaki

My name is Elisavet Kallitsounaki. I have graduated from the University of Piraeus and I am a professional Accountant. I am running my own accounting office in Rethymno, Crete.

I am a mother of two young ladies, Kiki and Eva, and I am married to Mathios.

Why they chose this property

Villa Balsam is a luxury house built in a peaceful area. The biggest advantage of my villa is the fact that, even if it is built in the wonderful Cretan countryside, it is close to everything a guest may need. In our village,you can take part in goat milking,mountain hiking,cooking together local food and pies and try our fresh farm eggs.The closest beach is only 4km away in Gerani beach, while the town of Rethymno is 14km away.
