We had a wonderful stay at Villa Liakos. The villa is an ideal size for us with all we needed and in a great location in Pigi Village. The village has a great supermarket and tavernas. The pool area is spacious and we spent most of our time there . Voula couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Villa Liakos to anyone looking for a relaxing break

Dear Kristian. We are very happy, you had a wonderful stay in our villa. Thank you very much for your review. Hoping to see you again in future. Best regards. Voula.
We were uncertain about our one week stay there, but it delighted us . We couldn't have been more pleased with a small village which had all the amenities.
Could have been cleaner on arrival especially the pool kitchen but we enjoyed our time in Pigi and the private pool, we would go again as we like quaint. No part of the property could be described as luxurious but we had a lovely time.

Dear Gill. Thank you for your review. We are very glad, you had a nice time in our villa.
Looking forward to see you again in future.
Voula, the host, is lovely, very friendly and helpful. We visited early in May, so the pool was still cold, but the garden surroundings in which it sits was a delight. There is a really sweet tabby cat that sits on the patio wall and wishes to be friends with you. Be kind to her and put out a little water (and maybe some food?). She will reward you tenfold.Pigi, the village is full of helpful people and it is easy to catch the bus at the far end of the village into Rethymno and from there, on to other places. The tavernas are really nice and very accessible on foot too and there is a great family business mini market for supplies and a very helpful local pharmacist too.

Villa Liakos is a lovely villa in a beautiful little village. The pool is a good size and has the advantage of a small kichen and toilet close by. There are plenty of amenities close by, a shop a pharmacy and three tavernas within a couple of minutes walk The kitchen could do with a few more untensils but this did not impact our stay we enjoed it so much we a booking for next year..

Ok villa lovely garden and pool.
We had a great time here. Lovely village with a good bakery and shop. The house was very big and fairly clean however we could have done with a bit more information from our host about location and generally about the villa as there was very little comunication . The garden more than made up for the short comings. We spent many happy ours there. Pigi is a good base to see lots of rethymno province from. Overall a nice place to stay.

House needs some work doing, back balcony dangerous, one of the beds broken. Won’t take a lot to bring it up.
Pool really nice, but pool kitchen area needs some work.
In good location for village shops and restaurants.

Dear Allan. We are sorry that we did not know and did not report it to us in time. The bed board was replaced as soon as we realised it and the balcony partition also immediately.
Amazing stay! We absolutely had the best two weeks at this villa. Had everything we needed, the pool area is beautiful and has plenty of shade. The pool is perfect and definitely needed in the heat. Aircon works brilliant in all rooms. The location is amazing, a beautiful small village that had everything in close proximity, which included 3 tavernas, 2 bakeries, a shop and a pharmacy. 5 minute drive to a local beach. We felt extremely safe for the entire trip. Voula is an amazing host and is extremely responsive. She cleaned and changed the bedding twice in just a two week stay. Very sad to be leaving
Village home with a secure private pool and garden area (complete with chatty resident cats!). Villa had everything we needed and pool only a few seconds walk from villa with a toilet and fridge and sink and table and chairs and also a barbecue. We enjoyed our stay here in Pigi, everyone was friendly and Voula was available if needed and very accommodating.
There are 2 restaurants and 1pub a supermarket and a pharmacy and a bakery in the village all of which we sampled with pleasure.
The village is only 7 minute drive from Platanes, and Rethymno about 15-20 minute drive from Platanes which has a lovely beach and plenty of restaurants and shops.
The property was as described. It is a bit quirky, but nothing that affected our stay.
The pol are is fantastic especially the outdoor shower, BBQ and kitchenette.
The air-conditioning through the house really helps in the heat.
We stayed for 2 weeks and didn't need a car, the local buis service into town is more than adequate. The three restaurants in town were all good anf the local village shops have everything you need.
Voula couldn't have been more helpful, thank you so much. I highly recommend this property.

Great property, a little difficult to find though
The villa is in the small town of Pigi. There is a small supermarket, butcher shop, cafe, and taverna within walking distance. There is no parking on-site but there is a small lot within walking distance. While the villa is very spacious and has a lot of Cretan charm, it was a little difficult to get to and has a strong smell of cigarette smoke. We had trouble finding the villa but we were able to call our host and they told us where it is located. The air conditioning only worked in one of the rooms but luckily we only stayed one night and it happened to work in the room where we were sleeping. The pool/bar area was very beautiful.

Maison crétoise typique dans village sympa avec principaux commerces ( très bonne boucherie et boulangerie). Épicerie avec tout le nécessaire et qq tavernes locales. Cependant l annonce est flatteuse par rapport à la réalité . La maison a besoin d' une renovation et d' un entretien plus régulier . Le ménage a besoin d être approfondi et manque d ustensiles de cuisine car c est une location pour 6 personnes. Un inventaire serait souhaitable pour lister ce qu il manque Voula a été réactive pour solutionner les problèmes signalés plusieurs ampoules ne fonctionnaient pas à l extérieur, marche escalier mal fixée sur escalier du haut et à rapporter une cafetière Tassimo.

Dear Chris. Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your experience. However, for the sake of completeness and to provide furure guests with a clear and accurate picture, we would like to clarify a few points. From the very next day after your arrival, we personally visited you . When you mentioned that you would like additional plates and deep salad bowls, we brought them to you immediately. Likewise, as soon as we were informed about the lamp outside , we replaced it straight away. Regarding the staircase, we also took immediate precautionary action by adding an extra fixing, even though no safety issue had been identified. We also arranged for additional cleaning, as cleanliness and the care of our property are among our highest priorities. Regarding the Tassimo coffe machine mentioned in your review, we would like to clarify that this was not an item that was missing from the villa. On the contrary, we had purchased a brand -new Tassimo coffe machind and placed it in the villa, for the first time, to offer our guests more choices and to make the property as well equipped as possible.
The villa accommodates up to 6 guests, and is equipped accordingly. During your stay, when 4 guests were staying, every additionnat item you requested, was provided immediately. We feel it is important to mention this, so that future guests can have a more complete and balanced picture of the experience. We would aslo like to point out that the photos in the listing have not yet been updated to reflect the villa in its current condidion A new living room has been created and the kitchen has been renovated, along with other improventmets to the property. We will be adding updated photos so that the lisitng fully reflets, the villa as it is today. The property is and authentic traditional Cretan , rather than a modern . It's traditonal architecture, atmosphere and location in a beautiful Cretan village are important part of its character. As , the same time, we continue to invest in improving and updating the villa, while preserving its traditional identity. We are sorry, that the villa ,did not fully meet your personal expectations. We understand that every guest has different preferences and that perhaps you were looking for a more modern property. Our villa offers something different the character and authenticity of a traditional Cretan villa, compined with on going improvements and personal care. Most importantly, however, we would like to highlight what makes this property truly SPECIAL. The villa has a large private garden of approcimately of 1000 sq. metres, a prerfect beatiful natural environment ,full of trees, and flowers, with barbecue, and a large pricate swimming pool , which can comfortably accommodate to 10 people. This makes it different from a typical modern holiday home. Thank you again for staing with us and sharing your feedback. We sincerely wish you all the best.
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Der Poolbereich ist wunderschön, das Haus selbst könnte allerdings an einigen Ecken eine Überholung vertragen, aber das sind Kleinigkeiten, die die Vermieterin mit Herzlichkeit ausgeglichen hat. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und zweckmäßig. Die Lage fanden wir sehr schön, ca. 100m entfernt ein Supermarkt, eine Apotheke und eine Taverne. Mit dem Auto ist man in ca. 5min auf der Tourimeile mit zahlreichen Bars, Restaurantes, Shops und dem Strand. In ca.15 min ist man in der Altstadt von Rethymnon, die sich sehr lohnt.
Nous avons passé un excellent sejour dans la maison de voula qui est tres gentille et sympathique . Nous avons adoré la maison qui est tres pratique et donne de l'intimité a la famille . La piscine est geniale avec une température iideale , la piscine n est pas attenante a la maison mais ce n ai vraiment pas genant . Nous avons adore la compagnie des chats qui venait nous voir . La maison est tres bien situe , pigi est un mignon village non loin de rethymon . Nous reviendrons avec plaisir dans la maison de voula . Merci encore pour votre gentillesse voula Laurence lou-Anne et stephane

Dear Matthias. We are very glad you enjoy your holidays in our villa. Thank you very much for your review. Looking forward to see you once more here again .
Groot huis, alle ruimte om heerlijk te verblijven.
Foto's geven goed weer hoe het huis is. Het zwembad ligt in een afgesloten tuin, een paar stappen van het huis vandaan.
We vonden het dorpje erg leuk. We hebben heerlijk gegeten bij de Tarverna. Als je een auto hebt, is het een goede uitvalbasis om meer van het eiland te zien. Communicatie met eigenaresse was super.

De Villa viel ons tegen.
Oud en was niet schoon.
Beddengoed met vlekken. Handdoeken met gaten. Etensresten van de vorige
gasten zaten nog in de oude pannen/bestek. De keuken niet hygiënisch. Bestek borden glazen niet compleet. Rommelig. En een vreselijke douche. De sproeier van de douche was al overleden.
En elke avond op de slaapkamer op kakkerlakken jacht. (niet onze hobby) Kakkerlakken lopen door de gehele Villa. Kapotte verlichting. Deze Villa heeft zoveel meer liefde nodig dan nu wordt geboden.
Het zwembad heeft ons doen blijven in de Villa omdat dit veel goed maakte, een paradijs
Was het zwembad er niet geweest dan hadden we onze koffers gepakt om elders te verblijven
Voor ons geen Villa Liakos meer..
The villa is based in the beautiful village of Pigi with two lovely restaurants, a bar and shop all within walking distance. We didn't have a car so we ended up spending a lot on taxis to get to and from the beaches and rethymno but we already had already planned for this. We spent a bit of time in adelianos kampos which was a nice beach area with bars and restaurants.
The villa itself is typically Greek with good facilities and was clean. The pool area is idyllic and private with lots of seating and an outdoor toilet/bbq. The only feedback would be that we would have liked to have had the pool cleaned whilst we were there for two weeks. Voula was lovely and had gave us such a warm welcome (thank you)! People in the village were so friendly and we got to experience the Cretan way of life away from the busy towns. We would definitely return!
Die Beschreibung des Hauses stimmt mit der Realität nicht überein. Unsauber, Heruntergewirtschaftet, Ecken voller Müll. Von Luxusschlafzimmer keine Spur, im Gegenteil alles was mal kaputt gegangen ist, wurde nicht repariert. Steckdosen mit Tesaband angeklebt, Licht im Treppenhaus geht nicht mehr. Flöhe in den Betten!!
Villa Liakos was a lovely place to stay and Voula was very nice to help with the logistics.
That said, it was a very nice villa with A/C throughout, and nice sized rooms. Good WiFi throughout, including in the garden.
The garden and pool area is lovely! Big, deep pool surrounded by flowers and fruit trees. Big, open barbecue and table shaded by trees. Several sunbeds, a big shade and outdoor bathroom. Car parking space.
And Pigi itself is an absolutely beautiful little village. Lots of locals living in pretty traditional homes. Two lovely tavernas, a lovely bar and a surprisingly large and well stocked local shop - all within a minute's walk of the villa.
The only negatives were the kitchen (which was not particularly well equipped and which clearly needs the cupboards replacing) and the fact that the garden and pool are not attached directly to the house (they are immediately adjacent, but you have to go out the front door, down a very short path and unlock the gate to go there.
Would definitely recommend!
