The best time in Crete
Beautiful view, super clean villa and very welcoming owner Sonia, she greeted us with traditional musaca dish and bottle of wine. We will definitely will be back next year!!!

10/10 Excellent

A lovely house, with lovely host
This is a very nice, comfortable and clean house, in an isolated location although only 10 minutes away from the sea/small supermarket. Sonia our host was very welcoming and responsive. She had left bread/ham/cheese and fruits + water in the fridge for our arrival (and a bottle of wine!) and this allowed us to take our time before going to the supermarket after settling down with the kids. There was a mid stay cleaning included in our stay that was very welcome, and the pool man came every (early) morning to clean it. The garden is vast with several terraces and toys for children (they loved the little wooden house!). Talking about children: the travel cot was comfortable and the high chair was a good quality one. The pool was equipped with a fence on request to prevent any accident. The fact that there are two other villas on site wasn't a problem : there was another family next door but we barely noticed them. Rethymno is only 15/20 minutes away and you can reach the south coast and its beautiful beaches in 40 minutes. My only suggestion would be to add some more games and books inside (we had one day of rain and we quickly ran out of things to do with the children). Apart from that: top rental !

Villa with fabulous views!!!
Chainteris villa was one of the best villas we have stayed in,Sonia was a great host and welcomed us to an extremely clean villa,the outside space is a delight. My only criticism is you need a car to get anywhere,shops,pubs,beach etc.It is remote but that can be lovely if you are happy to be secluded. We would have liked to have been able to walk to a bar as you couldn’t have a drink until you got back to the villa after having a meal out. Overall we had a lovely holiday.

Stunning view, loads of space, spotlessly clean and good location
The view from this property is really amazing. It’s so beautiful. And because you’re higher up, there’s a lovely breeze. The garden has loads of space so the kids loved playing - building dens, in the playhouse, playing volleyball, swimming, etc. It’s idyllic. Pool could be larger but is totally adequate. Sonia was so helpful and made us moussaka one evening. Very nice!!

Fantastic setting, perfect for young kids
Chainteris Villa 3 was the perfect place for our family holiday. The villa is very modern with all the mod cons and well kept, especially the gardens. Very child friendly with outdoor playhouse, shaded seating areas, and toys and tv, DVD player for when downtime is needed. It offers beautiful , panoramic sea views and alfresco dining which is nice for the adults when the kids go to bed. The nearby beach is clean with crystal clear waters for swimming . Supermarkets, bakery and lovely meat shop are only a 5 minute drive away, and Rethymnon the nearest city, provides a beautiful diversion for a day or evening out and is only 20 mins drive away. Host Sonia couldn’t be more attentive or helpful. Only slight criticism would be size of swimming pool which is really only a plunge pool. This was fine for us but given the size of the garden would have thought a bigger pool would have been better suited. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed
