Great property, everything you can need. Little Village has a small store, butchers and pharmacy. Plus 3 restaurants- so all you need. A few mins drive from the property. Location is well set for days at the beach and nice evenings out.

Well equipped villa. Fantastic for families with toddlers. Tastefully decorated.

Lovely villa. Equipped with all necessary equipment for holidaying with small children. Owners were extremely helpful and gave us some great restaurant suggestions. The children loved the slide, swing and see-saw. Pool was gorgeous and the housekeeping as excellent.

Fantastic property, with everything thought of for all ages. Manolis, our host, met every need. He even ordered us a take away on first night as we arrived late! Could not ask for a more helpful person. Mr Michalis attended to the pool and garden everyday and ensured all was in order! What a great holiday! Thank you for your kind welcome and hospitality.

Marina Villa

Superb villa with everything you could need for a home from home stay. We stayed as a family group of 6 with 1 toddler. Plenty of baby supplies and play equipment. We were met at the property at 1.30am and given a brief tour of the property. Pool was cleaned daily, and mid week clean of villa. Manilo answered every query promptly and went out of way to make our stay perfect. Would highly recommend. Only downside was the village with Taverna and bakery was in walking distance but no footpath and road narrow and dark, so wasn’t suitable to walk in the evening with a pushchair or small children.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Alles war genauso wie beschrieben – wenn nicht sogar besser. Das Haus war makellos sauber, sehr gepflegt und hervorragend ausgestattet. Besonders beeindruckt haben uns der traumhafte Meerblick und der wunderschöne Pool, an dem man wunderbar entspannen konnte.Der Gastgeber war außergewöhnlich freundlich, herzlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Schon vor der Anreise erhielten wir alle wichtigen Informationen, und während unseres Aufenthalts wurde sich stets darum gekümmert, dass es uns an nichts fehlte.Die ruhige Lage war perfekt, um abzuschalten, und gleichzeitig konnten wir viele schöne Orte in der Umgebung bequem erreichen. Man merkt, dass hier viel Wert auf Qualität und das Wohlbefinden der Gäste gelegt wird.Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können diese Unterkunft jedem empfehlen, der einen entspannten und unvergesslichen Urlaub verbringen möchte. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft!

Familienurlaub

Die Villa lässt keine Wünsche offen. Sie ist sauber, gepflegt und groß. Die Anlage ist sehr liebevoll angelegt und perfekt auf Familien ausgelegt.In der Villa wurde an alles gedacht. Die Bäder sind voll ausgestattet mit allen Pflegeprodukten und die Küche enthällt alle Geräte, die man für eine alleinige Versorgung benötigt.Der Support durch den Eigentümer und die Verwalter war jederzeit erreichbar und ständig darauf bedacht alle Wünsche zu erfüllen.Die Lage ist etwas abseits von Rethymno. Aber dafür ist es ruhig und idyllisch. Ein Mietwagen wird auf jeden Fall benötigt.Rundherum ein wunderschöner Urlaub. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Alles prima

Das Haus ist sehr schön und hochwertig. Von den 3 Schlafzimmer ist eins sehr klein und eigentlich nicht für 2 Personen gemacht. Der Garten und die verschiedenen Sitzmöglichkeiten sind sehr angenehm, Pool etwas zu winzig, aber zum Abkühlen völlig ausreichend. Der Ort Pigi hat ein gutes Restaurant und Supermarkt sowie Metzger. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Sehr empfehlenswert

Perfect villa for big groups

We were two families, 7 altogether, and found the villa to be a fantastic choice. The villa itself was beautiful, the outdoor cooking area got plenty of use and everyone spent hours and hours in the pool. The attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout made it a brilliant stay. Highly recommended.

Sehr gut! Wir kommen wieder!

Es hat einfach an nichts gefehlt! Das Haus ist genau so wie auf den Bildern abgebildet. Es ist perfekt für eine 6-köpfige Familie oder Gruppe von Freunden. Ohne Auto ist man allerdings aufgeschmissen! Der Strand oder LIDL sind jeweils gute 10 Minuten Autofahrt entfernt. Der einzige Kritikpunkt von uns ist das Zimmer unterm Dach. Es hat keine Tür und somit keinen Schallschutz. Bei Problem wurde immer sofort geholfen. Wir kommen wieder!

Toll ausgestattete Villa auch für Kinder

Wir sind mit 6 Erwachsenen und einem Baby gereist und müssen sagen, dass die Villa keine Wünsche offen lässt. Es gab für drinnen und draußen Spielzeug, aber auch Kleinigkeiten wie ein hochstuhl, Kinderwagen, etc haben uns das Reisen erleichtert. Bei den Erwachsenen war der Grillplatz mit Steinofen ein Highlight, den wir regelmäßig genutzt haben. Den Pool haben wir nicht benutzt weil uns das Wetter zu frisch war. Auf jeden Fall braucht man ein Auto; da es fußläufig keine Geschäfte oder Restaurants gibt. Wir können die Villa auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Fantastic villa for families near Rethymnon

Villa is exactly as shown on the pictures. All is of high quality. Very nice garden with pool. House owner are very friendly. Gardening and pool was cleant every day. Housekeeping three times during our 2 weeks stay. As a conclusion, we can only highly recommand this villa which is in a quiet place, but you are only a few minutes drive away from the beach and Rethymnon. Car is highly recommended (the agency is working with a local car rental company which has very competetive prices).
