Just an amazing place for adults and kids.Owners are so friendly and multiple times dropped by with food and gifts.Lovely beaches and restaurants near.Looking to go back already
Great location and facilities.
Everything is there and available.
Mr Kostas is a great host (bringing ice Crean’s fur the kids).
Wonderful for families and especially kids.
Can absolutely recommend.
Quite simply the best place we have ever stayed. The location combines views, sea breezes and nearness to shops and tavernas, while the villa itself is a clean, stylish beauty.Nothing else to say - go there!
Everyone had such an amazing time in Crete. The villa gave everyone everything they could want, lovely pool, games, evenings making pizzas and just overall an amazing villa with beautiful views. Such amazing communication from the villas team too as they were so helpful.Friends are already planning to stay again in the future.
The villa is amazing, in an ideal location, it has all the facilities you need for all ages. We have stayed in many villas over the year but this was the best by far, but it has to be said that it was the people involved in the villa who made the difference, they were all universally friendly, helpful and kind.
Beautiful Villa beautiful place and wonderful people
In brief it was a fantastic holiday, the Villa exceeded expectations and the wonderful owners so generous and hospitable. Eurotri the managers provided a superb concierge service easily contactable and very responsive and helpful. It is with out doubt a place to return to.
We had a wonderful stay at the villa which was beautifully presented with excellent facilities. The owners were very generous and brought us fresh pastries and other foods on several occasions. The concierge service was excellent and did everything we requested of them very promptly.
We enjoyed visits to Rethymno and had excellent meals there and at Starras in Gerani.
Would definitely recommend this villa
Wonderful Villa! Group of 11 celebrating a big birthday. Everything was perfect!!
The Villa is just as the pictures show- beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed every moment we spent there. Very short drive to town, restaurants and beaches. Owners and staff was excellent. We could not ask for anything that they did not immediately take care of-reservations, massage and tours. Looking forward to going back!!!
The property was fantastic and perfect for my family,.with such a range of ages. We had a number of celebrations and the villa was the magical setting that made it even more special.
Big thanks to Effi and Petri

A relaxing luxurious stay
This is a fabulous villa in a fabulous location, perfect for our large group of 12 people. Every little thing that you could want has been thought about and provided. The bbq area is my favourite, with built in bbq and wood oven. The villa was spotless with a cleaner visiting daily and linen changed every two days. A fabulous greek experience.
the Villa is amaizing, the view is amaizing, Petros the owner is amaizing. The holiday was amaizing. This villa is even better than shown in the photos. Unfortunately only 7 days - we wish we could live there. The sunset and sunrise - unforgettable - it´s the most beautiful place
We thought we would not make it this year but we are very glad we did. The villa is spectacular, the service could not be better, and the welcome was as warm as the weather.
The property was very nice overall. The air conditioning worked well and all the bedrooms were as advertised. The pool and hot tub were also quite nice. The air conditioning is connected to door sensors so you'll need to get used to keeping the doors closed or cracked. In addition, the doors can't be opened from the outside which was a bit unusual.

Amazing property
The villa was absolutely incredible. A wonderful property that is incredibly well maintained, with tons of options on site, especially for kids. We had 5 kids ranging from 1.5 to 14 and they all had things to do -- tennis, pool, basketball, picking veggies, chickens etc. There are fresh veggies and eggs on the property and sheep just outside. And the location is great. Close to Rethymno but away from any bustle. And the etouri folks and owner are super responsive and helpful. 5 stars! Would stay again.
We were welcomed to the property by Mr P and Effie. Everything was sparking and our welcome package excellent, not to mention the fresh eggs and veg each day collected from the property and surprise packages arriving with Mr P. We loved the villa and all the facilities were fantastic and our teenagers were never bored in fact did not want to leave. The view is breathtaking and all the shops and restaurants are within easy reach. We had the most amazing time and the weather also played its part, wall to wall blue skies for 7 days. Thank you all for a truly memorable week.

Best places you can find in Crete
14 people from Sweden rented the house for a week. We have rented plenty of houses before but the was by far the best experience any of us had. The house was beatuiful and the services was perfection. Etouri was really serices minded and supported us all the way. (we even got free cake, beers, whine etc) I would strongly recommend anyone to spend a week or more in this house with Etouri performing the service
This beautiful villa and property is absolutely gorgeous but what made our stay very special was everyone around us that made sure to give you the best experience from start to end. From the lovely host family that couldn’t be more sweet and generous to us to the vacation home agency that did everything in their way to maximize our stay in Crete. A very well maintained house in charming and private setting. The pictures are great but the experience much better. Both kids and adults loved it, could easily have stayed another week! Make sure to visit the restaurant Staras in Gerani. Would love to come back again. Love, Ericsson family

Spacious Luxury Accommodation
We were very impressed with the overall appearance of the property upon arrival and the welcome party that we had from Mr and Mrs Petros, Costas and team. They ensured that we were very happy with everything and were very generous throughout our stay. The accommodation was very spacious for our party of 12 and decorated to a high standard. Lots of thought given to providing extras for our stay and we enjoyed having the chickens in the back garden to collect eggs on a daily basis and the vegetable garden to feast on. We enjoyed the BBQ area at night and hosted our own Cretian Olympics in the lovely pool and tennis court. Something for everyone at this property and we were overwhelmed with the generosity of Mr Petros.

Fabulous villa in a stunning location
Gerani Hill is a beautiful villa, about 20 minutes walk from the lovely village of Gerani, where you will find tavernas, and a small supermarket. The villa is stylish and comfortable. It is as beautiful as the photos show! It was cleaned several times in the week we were there.
We were a group of five couples and there was plenty of room for us all, and still to have our own space.
Petros, the owner looked after us superbly. We experienced the best of Cretan hospitality, and had a classic village Greek meal with our wonderful host!
Thanks also to Eleni, from etouri who communicated with us, offering reliable car hire and advice.
We all had a superb stay at Gerani Hill, and we would not hesitate to recommend it.

A splendid villa
A secluded and majestic location with a beautiful sea view set in lovely well maintained gardens. Fresh eggs from the chickens. Tomatoes and aubergines were provided. The villa is very well appointed with marble floors and air conditioned rooms. The villa is fully equipped with very good poolside furniture a brilliant barbecue area, deep pool and a small tennis court. There are many areas outside with sofas and shaded spots with chairs/beds.
The local village (Gerani) has a superb baker, good taverna and mini markets one with a butcher. Rethymon is only 10mins away with a historic old town and many good restaurants.
As a group of 12 adults and 3 young children we had the BEST holiday at Gerani Hill. There was so much space for everyone to have their own privacy but equally amazing social spaces.
It feels so remote as you can’t see another property - just a stunning sea view, but step outside and you’re on the outskirts of a lovely village with great tavernas, a pharmacy and a couple of friendly small supermarkets.
The owners were lovely and Robert from Etouri was excellent, really friendly, responsive and efficient.
The children adored the villa, feeding the chickens, collecting the vegetables but mainly just swimming like fish all day in the lovely pool. We didn’t want to leave and would love to return!

A stunning villa set in an amazing location
We were a group of 3 families staying in this fantastic Villa. From the moment of booking to the day of leaving, our every need was met. The communication from Kostas and Eleni at Etouri was first class, making our holiday plans smooth and relaxing. The villa is well equipped with everything you need-for all ages to enjoy their stay;It feels very special and luxurious. The villa owners were very kind to us and the children, making us all feel at home, the special attention and extra treats from them were fab. The children enjoyed caring for the chickens and finding eggs for our breakfast, as well as picking the fresh fruits and vegetables that grow in the villa gardens!
We enjoyed the pool, the view, the various games/sports facilities, the bbq, pizza making and cooking in the pizza oven, the amazing sunsets and the beautiful area. We have happy memories forevermore😍.....
If you are considering this villa, don’t hesitate-book now, you truly won’t regret it😁😁😁
