Paradise

This is a fantastic accommodation. Beautiful villas , incredible manicured grounds , huge well kept pool. Most of all the hosts made our stay unforgettable, Rob Racheal and Ian went out of their way to ensure everything was top notch. From the garden fresh vegetables to the fresh eggs and hand crafted gifts all available in their little garden box store. One of the best places we have stayed in our many vacation trips . Do yourself a favor and book time at Crete Retreat , you will thank yourself after.

Hallo, hier unsere Erfahrungen. Wir haben für 18 Tage das Ferienhaus Jasmin gebucht. Zuerst einmal das Positive, die Aussenanlage, der Pool, der Stellplatz entspricht exakt der Beschreibung. Die Elektrogeräte funktionieren. Leider entspricht das Ferienhaus nicht mehr der Beschreibung . Der seperate Eingang ist nicht mehr vorhanden. Das Innere des Ferienhauses wurde schön fotografiert , soll heißen das es in Wirklichkeit nicht so toll aussieht. Die Möbel sind in die Jahre gekommen , das Sofa und die 2 Sessel haben Flecken. Der Hängesessel ist nicht mehr im Ferienhaus sondern hängt an einem Baum auf dem Gelände. Die vorhandenen Bäder sind eine Zumutung. Kaum Ablagefläche, jede Armatur wackelt und fällt bald aus der Wand. Das Wc ist undicht nach jeder Spülung tropft ein Gemisch aus Urin und Wasser auf den Boden. Es stinkt ....und da es kein Fenster gibt kann man das Bad auch nicht lüften. Der eingebaute Lüfter im Bad funktioniert nicht. Also putzt man jedes Mal das Bad um es erträglich zu machen. Allergings mit einem Wischmop der genau so grausig und schmutzig ist wie die Bäder. Die Sauberkeit lässt zu Wünschen übrig. Der Boden im gesammten Ferienhaus war nicht richtig gereinigt. Uns hat es nicht gefallen und wir würden uns Wünschen das man ein ehrliches Inserat liest.

Villa Jasmine

Wir haben ein paar schöne Tage in der Villa Jasmine verbracht. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Nur das Wetter hätte schöner sein können. Es hat fast jeden Tag geregnet, so dass wir den schönen Pool nicht nutzen könnten. Vielen Dank an Rob und Ian.

Perfect location !!

It was exactly what we were looking for and more. The garden is amazing, you can buy vegetables from the property, the swimming pool is giant. Ian is making his own gin and it is gorgeous and Ian, Rob and Rachel are very nice and helpful. It is very near from Chania and perfect to discover the area. So you have to go there !!

Séjour agréable dans la région de Chania

Nous avons passé une semaine dans la maison Jasmine en juillet 2019. La maison est située à 15 minutes en voiture de Chania (la Canée) qui est une ville magnifique et a 10 minutes de plusieurs plages très agréables. La maison est grande et propre. D un cote de la maison il y a le salon, la cuisine, une chambre et une salle de douche avec wc. De l autre côté il y a une autre chambre avec une salle de douche/wc également. Les 2 parties de la maison ne communiquent pas, il faut sortir et traverser la terrasse pour rentrer de l autre côté. C est parfait pour 2 familles qui loueraient la maison ensemble pour que chacun ai son espace, ou alors pour une famille avec des grands enfants qui sont déjà un peu indépendants. Nous avions 2 enfants en bas âge, et du coup nous avons tous dormi dans la même chambre car nous n etions pas tranquilles qu elles soient si loin, nous avions peur de ne pas les entendre en cas de problème. La maison est très bien équipée, il manquerait juste peut-être un micro-ondes qui serait bien pratique. Les points forts : - la maison fait partie d une propriété de 3 maisons, mais elles sont bien espacées. Il n y a aucun vis à vis et on n entend pas du tout les voisins même s ils sont sur leur terrasse - la piscine est très grande et l espace autour est très verdoyant et agréable - chaque maison a son barbecue sur sa terrasse et sa place de parking à l interieur de la propriété. - le propriétaire (Ian) est tres gentil et disponible, et accommodant sur les horaires d arrivée et de départ Quelques points à améliorer : - la maison mériterait quelques petits travaux d entretien (ex le porte rouleau de papier wc ou les crochets pour accrocher les torchons qui vous restent dans la main car ils sont mal fixés dans le mur, les serrures des baies vitrées qui ferment mal...) - les stores sur les fenêtres dans les chambres ne filtrent que très peu la lumière. A 6h du matin il faisait plein jour dans les chambres, surtout celle avec les lits individuels, impossible de faire entendre à nos 2 petites qu il était trop tôt et qu il fallait continuer a dormir... au moins nous étions prêts de bonne heure pour explorer la région, mais ce n est pas très reposant. Cependant dans l ensemble, nous avons passé un bon séjour dans cette maison et la recommandons.

Nice lodging near Chania

Convenient lodging with a large pool. Within walking distance of Souda with supermarket, ATM and a Baker. It's easy to get around in the area by bus and it's a good starting point for excursions. Very nice and helpful landlord.

Friendly Owner, Good Setting, Nice Villa

We stayed 10 days with 3 teenage boys so the extra bathroom was very helpful - villa was good, few areas needed some upgrade but fine for our stay. Pool was great. Loved Crete and proximity to village and local town and beautiful Chania a short drive/bus ride away. Well situated to explore the west end of Crete. Ian, the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Superbe séjour au soleil de la crète

Belle maison, dans un grand jardin très calme. Merci à Ian pour son hospilaté. Piscine vraiment au top, encore plus si la propreté de la piscine était optimisé. Nous recommandons vivement cette location bien placée pour visiter le Nord ouest de l'ile.

Séjour dans la verdure , à côté de la piscine.

La situation des maison de Ian est idéale, proche de Chania , mais retirée des plages avec les hôtels. Le jardin est un écrin de verdure autour de la grande piscine . La maison est grande et fonctionnelle , mais elle est vieillissante (besoin de quelques réparations) . Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour.

Peaceful hideaway near Chania

We stayed for 1 week in June and it was absolutely gorgeous! Ian is a terrific host, discrete and helpful. His garden is lovingly tended and he is always followed by his entourage of friendly dogs and the occasional cat. The pool is utterly wonderful, it's huge and there are lots of sun loungers dotted about for your use and it's floodlit at night. The villa is simple but just right, with a lovely covered veranda to sit out on and eat your breakfast. We were very comfortable and it's a little oasis from the bustle of being on the beach or in Chania. It's tucked away, you can walk to a cafe and taverna and the local shop but we never got round to it (!). It's very close to Souda, feels more like being in a suburb rather than a village but it's very peaceful and a 15 minute drive into the heart of Chania. You can also take the bus in from the end of the road. We were in a perfect location for various lovely beaches all about 20 minutes away by car and great sites like Aptera. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

La Crète est un pays magnifique et les Crétois accueillants

La Villa Jasmine aurait tous les atouts pour permettre un séjour très agréable. Un joli cadre, de l'espace, une grande piscine...le bémol...aucune coquetterie dans le logement dont l'entretien laisse à désirer, propreté limite, le store de rideau tombe à la 1ère utilisation, pas de tablette au dessus du lavabo, pas de poubelle de sdb, pomme de douche ne tenant pas accrochée, robinetterie prête à tomber, fermeture des portes d'entrée bricolée, peu de vaisselle, frigo petit pour 4/5 personnes, les chats et chiens du propriétaire s'invitent constamment à votre table ( 3 chiens et 7 chats dont certains ont les yeux qui coulent et semblent faméliques) un chien qui s'invite dans la piscine sous l'oeil du propriétaire, des outils disséminés dans le terrain ( hache, scie, marteau etc) bref beaucoup de laisser-aller de la part du propriétaire qui semble désabusé.

Not Prepared Well

Our Villa was the only one that was open and as such we were under the impression that we were the first visitors of the season. The Villa and Gardens are lovely and pool is great. But when we arrived the place had not been cleaned and was dusty and dirty obviously it had just been opened after the winter and very little preparation had taken place. The bedding was clean and prepared but that was all. We had to clean everything and there was thick dust and grease over the cooker. There was a smashed picture with glass all over the floor in the living room. Ian came and made a half hearted attempt at cleaning it up and we had to finish the rest. Plates and crockery that chipped should have been replaced. In a nutshell preparation was next to none existant.

Thank you for your review- we did say that we would take responsibility and liability for the broken picture during your stay. Our cleaners have been retained for several seasons for their high level of work and presentation and as we are onsite, we are always prepared to recall them to guests that have any issues, as they live in the village. On examination we did find a chip on one of the plates and we apologise for the oversight.
