Amazing villa would recommend to anyone

Amazing villa , we would definitely go back! Was super clean on arrival and the photos don’t do this villa justice as was really nice . The family that own the villa were extremely welcoming and always available if needed. They brought us fresh eggs and made us feel so welcome . A car is a must for this villa as it is located in a village about 20 mins from Rethimno by car but the location is lovely and quiet. Somewhere we are planning on returning to with our other family members as it was an amazing holiday !

Beautiful, new, clean, and amazing design

Thank you so much to the Think Villa team especially Valia for the smooth transaction. Everything was ready and at our disposal before we even arrived in Crete. The Villas are nestled on a quiet hill in a lovely Greek village with amazing views of the countryside and the sea. We stayed in villa Hera and it was very beautiful and tastefully furnished. Spotlessly clean and enough entertainment especially for the kids. A big thank you to Kostas , his wife and brother Stamatis for being perfect hosts and being attentive and readily available in case of any issues of which there was none. We were welcomed with a pleasant smile, local food and of course Raki. Another nice touch was the cold towels to cool you down after your flight. They checked on us a few times to make sure everything was ok, and brought us another homemade dish of local food during our stay. We have stayed in many villas before both in Greece and other countries but this was by far our favourite and would earnestly recommend Kallisti villas to anyone you will not be disappointed. Thank you once again to the whole team for making our holiday special and memorable. We will definitely be back to Kyriana and Kallisti villas.

Ruhige, erholsame Relaxtage

Wir hatten wieder sehr ruhige, erholsame Tage in der Villa "Hera", die viel zu schnell vorbei waren. Wir haben alles sehr sauber vorgefunden und auch während unseres Aufenthaltes war man stets um unser Wohl bedacht. Der Ausblick von der oberen Terrasse ist herrlich, besonders beim Sonnenauf- und untergang. Ein Tip unsererseits wäre noch, dass eventuell etwas mehr Kaffeetassen zur Verfügung stehen sollten. Beim Aufenthalt von 4 Personen ist die vorhandene Anzahl zu wenig.

Perfekter Urlaub

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub in der Unterkunft und hat es alles wunderbar geklappt. Das Haus war sauber, modern und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die vorherigen Fragen an die Vermietungsagentur wurden alle schnell beantwortet und unsere Ansprechpartnerin war sehr, sehr freundlich. Auch der Vermieter war ganz klasse. Kostas war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Außerdem haben wir am Abend im Haus Getränke und einen Teller mit Snacks vorgefunden. Zwischendurch wurden uns sogar frische Eier und Ziegenmilch gebracht und am letzten Tag durften wir noch die ganze Familie kennenlernen. Wir können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und hoffen das wir selber noch einmal hier Urlaub machen können.

A beautiful place to stay!

We had a very nice stay at the Hera villa! We enjoyed the spaciousness, the beautiful lit pool, the jaccuzzi watching the sunset and the beautiful cats! This is the perfect place to chill away from all the noise and city life. We reccommend a car 100%. The villa is very nice and you feel safe. Kostas family are super friendly and approachable, welcoming us with a plate of delicious greek food made by his mother upon arrival! So good! There are 3 cats(orange male, 2 females, one is a kitten atm) that will probably come and visit you during your stay, they are super entertaining and appreciate some snacks as well. They are calm and just seem to enjoy the company of the guests, they are no bother at all. If we visit again we really hope they're there :D We really reccommend a stay at kallisti villas, you won't regret it!

Maison idéale pour une famille avec deux enfants, piscine et coucher de soleil magnifique sur la mer. Très bien équipée, et confortable, calme dans un village à 20 mn de Rethimno. L'agence et le propriétaire ont été particulièrement accueillants, et disponibles. Nous avons passé une merveilleuse quinzaine à la villa Héra, et énormément apprécie la Crète. Merci

Großartiges Haus! Toller Urlaub!

Wir haben uns in dem Ferienhaus sehr wohl gefühlt und die Woche auf Kreta sehr genossen. Das Ferienhaus liegt sehr ruhig gelegen in der Nähe von Rethymno. In der „Dorf-Taverne“, gleich um die Ecke, haben wir oft und gerne gegessen. Für Kinder gibt es dort sogar einen kleinen Spielplatz. Auf dem Basketballplatz, keine 3 Minuten entfernt, haben die Kinder auch gerne gespielt. Und natürlich der Pool, den haben wir alle ausgiebig genutzt. Wir können uns den positiven Bewertungen anschließen- sehr sauber, toller Pool, sehr freundliche Gastgeber.

Super Villa, sehr zu empfehlen

Wir haben uns in den 14 Tagen hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Villa "Kalisti" ist sehr geräumig und modern eingerichtet. Wir haben alles sehr sauber vorgefunden und wurden herzlich empfangen. Man hat einen super Ausblick von der oberen Terrasse zum Meer. Im Whirlpool kann man es sich abends bei untergehender Sonne gutgehen lassen. Der Pool bietet eine schöne Abkühlung und man kann seine Runden schwimmen. Es ist eine sehr ruhige dörfliche Gegend, man kann schön relaxen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Einzigster Nachteil ist der etwas längere Weg zum Strand. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder hierher.

Wunderschönes Haus, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Beschreibung und die Fotos der FeWo--direkt Seite werden weit übertroffen. Getoppt wird das Ganze nur durch die Freundlichkeit und den Service des Teams, angefangen bei der Dame in der Buchungsagentur, dem Empfang bei der Ankunft (ein komplettes Abendessen incl. Getränken war vorbereitet!) bis hin zum Elektriker, der bei einem kleinen Problem mit einer Sicherung sofort vorbei kam (und gleich noch einen Berg griechische Spezialitäten vorbei brachte). Noch nie in vielen gebuchten Ferienhäusern habe ich einen so netten und überzeugenden Service erlebt.

Wunderschöne Villa Hera

Nach einem tollen Empfang (wir haben Costas echt warten lassen) und Leckereien konnte ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt beginnen. Man hat alles, was das Herz begehrt und wenn es wider Erwarten anders war, reichte eine Email und es wurde passend gemacht. Der Service wurde groß geschrieben. Es gab immer wieder Selbstgemachtes, Zwischenreinigungen und frische Bettwäsche/Handtücher. Der Ausblick ist einfach nur umwerfend. Nur das Wetter liegt nicht in den Händen der Vermieter. Alles in Allem war es ein erholsamer Aufenthalt für uns. Immer wieder gerne !

Dream villa!

Stayed her for a week in October. Villa is set in the hills and about 25 minutes drive from Rethymno centre so a hire car is needed. Despite a very late arrival, the owner Kostas, was there to meet us and show us round and leave us with some homemade food and a Raki! During the stay his family also left us with a home made dessert that was one of the tastiest we have ever had. Villa was perfect and there was nothing that we needed that it didn’t have. We would recommend this villa for a perfect location for a holiday in Crete. It is quiet, romantic and comes with fantastic views down towards the sea.

Villa Hera im Juni 2017

Wir waren 14 Tage in dieser wirklich schönen, neu erbauten Villa. Das Haus befindet sich einer sehr ruhigen Lage am Berg etwa 15 Minuten Fahrzeit oberhalb von Rethimno. Ein Mietwagen ist daher Pflicht. Man hat einen schönen Blick auf das Meer und jeden Abend einen tollen Sonnenuntergang. Die klimatisierte Villa ist brandneu und mit allem ausgestattet, was den Aufenthalt angenehm macht. Der Pool ist groß und wurde regelmäßig, wie auch das Haus selbst, während des Aufenthaltes gereinigt. Die Vermieter vor Ort waren sehr nett und überraschten mehrmals mit hausgemachtem Essen. Im Ort Kyrianna gibt es fußläufig eine empfehlenswerte Taverne. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie Bäcker und Supermarkt sind mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Für uns war es ein toller Urlaub, eine klare Empfehlung.

Amazing Villa

This was the best villa we have stayed in. Beautifully furnished, comfortable beds and had everything we needed. Quiet location but definitely need a car. The owners supplied home made Raki, wine, olive oil, vegetables etc and even brought us some cooked stuffed peppers one evening. Very easy communication and were very quick to respond to any questions we had. The bikes were great fun - but a bit too big for me as I am only 5'! The men had great fun on them. The pool was amazing too - small but adequate for us and good for swimming lengths.
