Perfect

Exactly what my family’s was looking for, piece & quite up in the mountains away from the hustle & bustle. We stayed put every day by the pool, had our lunches ( lovely traditional Greek food) made & delivered by mum,(Vasos) Views are stunning, watching the eagles is great. Villa was 100% suited to our requirements. Steep little drive up to it but don’t let it put you off, it’s worth it. I definitely shall go back, hopefully later in the year. Great communication with Irini ( what’s app) A lovely welcome from the family.

Auszeit vom Massentourismus

Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Bei unserer Spätanreise stand warmes Essen im Ferienhaus bereit, für welches wir sehr dankbar waren. Das Ferienhaus liegt in wundervoller Ruhe im Berg. Man hat einen sehr schönen Ausblick bis runter auf Rethymno und das Meer (ca. 20 km entfernt). Da wir Mitte Oktober angereist sind, war der schöne Kamin nicht nur Dekoration, sondern abends dringend notwendig. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle nochmals für alles, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Erholung pur! Wir wollten gar nicht weg.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Villa sehr genossen. Das Haus und der Pool sind einfach wunderschön und der Ausblick atemberaubend. Hier kann man wunderbar abseits des Touristen-Trubels entspannen. Das Haus und der Pool werden regelmäßig gereinigt. Wie schon von anderen beschrieben, erwartet einen nicht nur bei Ankunft ein leckeres zubereitetes Essen (Nach besonderen Allergien oder Ernährungsweisen wird vorher gefragt), sondern man kann auch von einer Karte für den nächsten Tage lokale Spezialitäten bestellen, die der Vater der Familie (Koch in Rente) liebevoll zubereitet. Die ganze Familie ist sehr freundlich und steht jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne und total erholdame Zeit! Einzige Schattenseite, wenn man fernab vom Trubel ist, ist natürlich, dass die Anfahrt egal wohin immer etwas länger dauert. Das ist die Ruhe und Aussicht aber auf jeden Fall wert!
