Review for stay from 12 April 2026 to 19 April 2026
We loved everything about our stay at Villa Eftychia! It was the perfect size for our family of five and equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms were great, beds comfy and everything spotless. The garden area was wonderful and perfect for a BBQ or relaxing at the end of a day exploring (veranda with a view), and the children loved both of the pools and the swings. They also loved spending time with the resident cats! The location of the property is perfect...it's up in the hills away for some peace, privacy and nature. It's so quiet (apart from the resident chickens and turkey, but we enjoyed listening to them)! But it's also only a few minutes away from a lovely beach with some great restaurants, a bakery, and small grocery store. It's got a nice little strip, but it's not busy with tourists like some other places on the island. Pretty quiet area. There are also some lovely villages up in the hills to check out and a couple ruins (WW2, Byzantine etc), and it's a great base to explore Chania, the mountains/gorges to the south, and isn't far from Rethymno. It will help a lot if you're renting a car. The hosts (George and Roxani) are lovely and couldn't be more helpful. They gave us so many great recommendations and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. This place is a gem, you should book!
