100% Recommended

We had 12 wonderful days at this villa. There is really nothing anyone could miss in Konstantina’s house. She is so friendly and attentive, we felt very well hosted.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay. You will need a car - very little is walking distance - but on Crete you will need one anyway. There are 2 mini-markets that cater for almost everything and Christo's taverna even delivers! Check-in and -out is simple. The kitchen contains everything needed (incl. tools) and it is a true plus that herbs/spices are already there. Outdoor/poolside covered seating ist spacious - and 4 umbrellas are certainly a top-plus for poolside leisure. It is generally calm (apart from the neighbouring dogs guarding the sheep/goats) - unless the guests in other villas have nightlong parties (as was the case with us - but you cannot blame that on the villa) In total: we can recommend it...

Har leid Villa, hus og leiligheter tidligere, men dette er første gang jeg skriver en review. Vi bodde på Villa Francesca i 10 netter. Vi var to familier på 7, og det var masse plass i både huset og i bassengområdet. Vi har tidligere reist mye rundt i verden, men dette har vært et av høydepunktene for familieferie. Vi leide en stor bil på flyplassen. Stor parkering utenfor huset. Selve huset, parkeringsplass og hagen var inngjerdet og svært usjenert. Det er ikke innsyn fra noen andre omkring. Ikke noe bråk eller støy fra naboer. Stor variert hage med masse forskjellig frukt, inkludert, sitroner, nydelige appelsiner, nektariner med mer. Huset har alt man kan tenke seg i høy standard. Noe slitasje enkelte steder, som man må forvente uansett når man leier bolig, men dette var uten betydning. Bassenget var noe av det beste, ca 12-13 meter langt. Det hadde en dyp og grunn del. Det var helt rent, med klart vann. Ikke noe mygg eller knott utenfor. Det var wifi som fungerte fint. Lett og kjøre ned til vakre Rethymnon. Kort vei til hovedveien. Gang-avstand til små dagligvarebutikker og en koselig taverne. Verten svarte nærmest umiddelbart på spørsmål, og veldig hyggelig. Vi hadde opprinnelig booket villa Emmanuela, men byttet til nabohuset Francesca, men jeg antar at denne anmeldelsen ville ha vært ganske lik om vi hadde bodd på Emmanuela da det er samme eier, ca. samme hus, uteområde og beliggenhet. Vil anbefale begge Villa Francesca på det sterkeste. Takk for et nydelig opphold.

Superb Stay

Our family holiday in Villa Emmanuella exceeded our expectations. First, Alexandra, the host's representative, stayed late into the night to ensure that we were welcomed properly to the property. This was very much appreciated after a delayed flight and an hour's drive from Chania. Secondly, the property itself is stunning; spotlessly clean with everything provided including air-conditioning, board games and TVs. The pool and pool deck area make for great fun and there are beautiful views extending out to the sea, which are particularly relaxing when in the pool for a dip. There are numerous balconies and outdoor seating areas for daytime relaxation and an extensive garden with secluded spaces. There is a convenience shop a short walk away from the villa but supermarkets and other amenities are only a short car drive away. The beach is only a little further at about 10 mins' drive (although parking can be somewhat tricky). Overall, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and would heartily recommend Villa Emmanuella and its hosts.

Superbes vacances - superbe villa

Merci à Konstantina. Nous avons passé deux semaines excellentes dans cette splendide villa située dans un environnement au calme au milieu des oliviers tout en étant proche de toutes les commodités. Équipement au top, chambres et pièces spacieuses et climatisées. Ménage effectué tous les 3-4 jours compris dans la prestation. Situé à 10 min du centre et idéalement situé pour visiter la Crète

Luxurious Place & Generous Host

Our Crete family vacation was taken to a whole other level by staying at Villa Emmanuela. First, the property is luxuriously beautiful and secluded, just a quick 10min drive from Rethymno (don’t be deterred by a goat farm patch). Then the sliding gate opens to the house and parking deck, and to the right is the gorgeous pool deck, and just beyond is a walking garden full of pink, white flowers and bushy plants and fruit trees leading around the edge of the house. The house is exactly as pictured, plenty of kitchen supplies, very cozy living room, downstairs apartment can function separately, although we propped the door open and spent all our time hanging out together. Bathrooms are stocked and plenty of towels, both for the pool and for indoors. Washer, dryer and drying rack worked well and were so convenient. Great selection of balconies made a lovely start to the morning with a coffee to enjoy the scenery. Our family brought walkie-talkies so we could check in while everyone was mulling around the house, and it was fun to see the family calling to each other via walkie-talkies from different balconies. Pool deck had plenty of loungers and seating for all of us, not to mention a great collection of pool floats. The outdoor patio table is covered by an awning and perfect for lunches and outdoor dinners as the sun sets. We also really loved the pool shower. There’s a running track only 10min walk from the property and a small convenience store too, although we just did trips to the fruit and veg stands in the town. Most of all, the hostess manager of the property is amazing. Greeks are notorious for being excellent hosts, and Konstantina went above and beyond her duties. For example, we sent in supplies for a treasure hunt game, and she helped set that up as well as arranged details to make our stay wonderful including ordering a flower arrangement for a birthday and even provided a gift basket with local baked goods! All of this was of course on top of the regular host duties (answering emails, providing advice, checking in, visiting to ensure we had enough linen, and responding to texts and answering questions in real time.) I don’t know if you will be lucky to get Konstantina because the property is owned by a different couple, but if you do, you’re guaranteed a responsive host and a great stay.
