A luxurious holiday getaway for all the family

We recently visited for the Easter holidays with two children under 8 and had a fantastic time. It was our first visit to the island in almost 20 years and it was almost magical to see the island start to wake up for the new season and not be too busy to enjoy some of the areas that might otherwise be overrun with tourists. We chose Crete for the spring sunshine and finding this collection of villas was a great find as our friends were able to join us with their 3 year old and rent the next door villa, with adjoining gate! It was perfect! The pool was a perfect size and the sun deck with loungers and table provided a great space for both relaxing and eating. The huge barbecue was well used! Indoors didn't disappoint either with spacious bedrooms and plenty of room downstairs too. The villa and our host was amazing. The owner, Kostas, welcomed us and showed us around, and we regularly returned from our day trips to find local delicacies left for us to enjoy. The service was fantastic, from booking and management from Vaila at Think Villa, to our actual stay and the wonderful staff Kostas employs to maintain the properties. Thank you! We will be back!!

Rustig maar toch dichtbij strand en stad

Prima verblijf, ruime kamers, alles aanwezig hoewel de vaatwasser niet goed functioneerde en wat meer variatie in grootte pannen e.d. Fijn zwembad maar de afvoer van het water maakt constant flink geluid. Één keer verschonen beddengoed (10 dagen) had wel gemogen.

Tolles Ferienhaus, das keine Wünsche offen lässt!

Wir haben wunderschöne 14 Tage in der Villa Aphrodite verbracht! Das Haus ist wunderschön, die Beschreibung vollständig zutreffend! Das Haus liegt in den Bergen, somit geht immer ein leichter Wind und es ist besonders im Hochsommer nicht so heiß wie in den Städten. Dennoch hat man einen herrlichen Ausblick auf das Meer und ist mit dem Auto innerhalb von 15 Minuten am Strand. Die Agentur ThinkVilla war einfach toll bei der Abwicklung und sehr bemüht uns wirklich einen tollen Aufenthalt zu bieten!!! Bei Ankunft erwartete uns ein Herr zur Schlüsselübergabe und Einweisung. Zudem haben wir einen tollen Teller mit typisch griechischen Snacks als Willkommensgruß erhalten - wirklich nett! Während unseres Aufenthalts wurde mehrfach geputzt, die Betten gemacht und die Handtücher gewechselt. Die Dame, die gereinigt hat, war auch sehr liebenswürdig und wirklich sehr gründlich, auch hier ein Dank! In der Küche fehlten uns einige Kleinigkeiten, die wir gekauft haben (Schüssel, Brettchen etc.). Vor Ort ist eine Waschmaschine, Bettwäsche und Handtücher für den täglichen Gebrauch, als auch Poolhandtücher waren vorhanden und wurden regelmäßig oder auch bei Bedarf und Wunsch sofort gewechselt. Insgesamt war der Urlaub in diesem Haus ein Traum, die Lage ist toll, der Service ist toll, der Pool und das Grundstück sind fantastisch und alles ist sehr gepflegt! Wir bedanken uns, geben 5 Sterne und kommen wieder!!!

Très jolie maison bien équipée

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour à la villa Aphrodite. Merci pour l’accueil et les bons conseils ! Idéalement située pour visiter la région de Réthymnon (on aperçoit d’ailleurs la forteresse au loin de la fenêtre de la cuisine). Attention la literie est un peu ferme. Beau jardin, belle décoration, piscine très propre, village calme. A recommander.

Superbe villa

Nous avons passé un super séjour dans la villa Aphrodite, qui est tout à fait conforme à la description. La piscine avait été chauffée et nous avons pu nous baigner tous les jours malgré la période (fin octobre). Villa très propre, bien agencée et joliment décorée. Le jardin très agréable et les lits confortables. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil avec des mezze délicieux préparés par notre hôte! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir dans cette villa.

Amazing villa and owners.

We have just returned from our wonderful trip to Crete and our lovely Villa, Aphrodite. The villa was absolutely beautiful, had everything we could of hoped for, was clean, modern and just perfect, our 2 young children loved it. Kostas the owner and his wife, took the time to show us around, installed the child stair gate when asked, made up the cot and also delivered some local foods for us to try, all of which were wonderful. A full clean was carried out mid week and well as regular pool maintenance, grass cutting and also grapes, fresh fruit and pancakes were dropped off during the week as well !! Our children loved the 'Villa cat / kitten' whom they named "Minnie" due to her size, so please be sure to look out for her, she loves to play. Kostas left his business card and made us aware he was available at any time should we have any problems. The only downside to the villa, is that we only booked for a weeks stay !!! The local mini market was very good, the lady in the shop was lovely and made a fuss of our children, free cakes and sweets! Faragi, the nearest restaurant was also very good, a basic menu but very good food and very reasonably priced. The nearest town was about 10-15 minute drive and has everything there that you could need, car rental to Lidl to food outlets and shops, to beaches. Rethimno / Rethymno old town, the castle/fortress and old winding small streets were a definite highlight of our holiday, well worth the 4 Euro entrance fee to look around the ruins of the fortress and take in part of the history of the country. The most amazing part of Crete was the port, old town part of Chania. This was about an hour and 20 minute drive from the villa each way, but worth every second of the car journey. The port which was re-built by the Venetians is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited, the sights were amazing, the restaurants were amazing and the people there were the nicest we came across, an absolute definite if you are ever in Crete.

Perfect family villa

We loved our stay at Kalisti the villa was spacious and well appointed and very clean. Clearly he owner has taken time to care for the property. We were greeted on arrival and the maintenance mans mum even sent over a tray of mousakka as a welcome. There are a couple of downsides. The jacuzzi is actually a bath that leaks and is therefore a bit useless which was a real shame and the pool is not heated which made morning swimming a real challenge. The locals and the area were perfect if you want to get away from the package holiday crowd asbits rural and very pretty but also only 10 mins from town.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2020
Dear Russell, thank you for your kind review and we really appreciate the feedback. We hope that you have mentioned the issue with the Jacuzzi while being here as we would be pleased checking that for you. Furthermore regarding the pool it was not heated as our policy for heating the pool mentions''The pool can be heated March-May, October-November''. We really hope to host you again in our villa. Regards, ThinkVilla Team.

Well kept,comfortable villa and manged by good people :)

We stayed for a week in the Villa. My kids had an excellent time. It is far from most places but that's exactly what we wanted (far from the maddening crowd!). Pool was nicely heated my family and I had lovely time splashing around. There is a ping pong table that can be used and a trampoline. Kostas (the host) and his family were v accommodating - we asked for spare inflatables for the pool and a can opener!! both arrived v quickly. We did some quiet walks which was good fun, but you will definitely need a car to get around. There is a worthwhile Lidl about 10-15 min drive away - full of everything you need. Big tip use a local GPS (most hire companies can provide, easier to use co-ordinates to get around.) If you do go have a wonderful time...

Excellent facilities & even better hosts

Wouldn't hesitate to book this villa again. The hosts were so accommodating and the pool is fantastic (once heated). On a personal level, the only downside was it felt like a bit of a drive to the nearest bigger town / supermarkets, but we knew that before we booked, so can't really moan. Car is a must.

Kallisti Villas

Wir haben 5 tolle Tage in der Villa Aphrodite verbracht. Die Villa entspricht exakt der Beschreibung im Internet. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet - für Selbstversorger absolut ausreichend. Der Pool ist ebenfalls sehr schön und super zum Entspannen. Die 3 Villen liegen sehr ruhig und bieten viel Privatsphäre. Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir würden die Unterkunft wieder buchen.

Fantastic Villa and a warm and welcoming

We stayed here for 1 week and the Villa was fantastic. Lovely and clean, modern with all the needed facilities you could want for. Located towards the mountains It's about 15mins drive to the coast so quiet and peaceful. The owners were there to meet us and were warm and welcoming with a small selection of local delicacies for us to try. They even made us a delicious home baked moussaka which was left for us during the week for when we got back from a day at the beach. The best service we've ever had, well worth staying here if you want to escape the hustle of the resort locations. Thanks for a great stay.
