Excellent Villa and host

The Villa was even better than described. It was very clean with plenty of towels and Stella was amazing. She gave us plenty of recommendations on where to go and booked numerous restaurants for us. Nothing was too much trouble for Her and she was very welcoming.Even Stella’s mum left us a homemade cake for us which was delicious . All this helped to make it a great holiday and the local tavernas within a short walk we’re superb. Thanks again Stella and hopefully see you again

Beautiful villa in a lovely countryside setting

We have just had a week at Villa Olia. The size of the villa is amazing and the pool area is surrounded by beautiful Cretan foliage and even some grazing sheep. There is a table tennis room and the swimming pool is a really good size. There is a balcony upstairs off the main bedroom where you can see the sea and watch the sun set. This was the first villa we'd stayed in in Greece where we didn't get set upon by insects as soon as we tried to eat outside. We had 2 barbecues and recommend the sausages and bifteki from the butcher up the main road above Prines. The villa was also in easy walk of 3 tavernas. We recommend Veranta- the best meal we had in Crete. 2 evenings we got a taxi into Rethymnon (15 euros each way). Rethymnon is a great place in the evening, full of busy tavernas, narrow streets in the old town and Venetian architecture. We recommend getting an ice cream from Meli. In terms of beaches we would recommend Damnoni beach in the south and any of the Northern beaches, as long as the wind isn't too strong. On the last day we hung out at Baja Beach club (15 euros for a set of sunloungers). This is fun if you like booming music all day and an Ibiza beach club vibe. We'd also recommend Lake Kournas, but hire a kayak rather than a pedalo or paddle board as you can get further across the lake and maximise your chances of seeing a turtle (we didn't see any unfortunately). Back to the villa, Stella was very responsive during our time in the villa and recommended some places for us to visit. The villa was cleaned half way through our week and we were left some Cretan delicacies on our arrival and mid-way through. A great place to stay!

Fantastic villa, perfect location,

This was our 3rd holiday in Crete, but our 1st in Rethymno. The villa has everything you could wish for, stunning location, spacious, clean with the friendliest owner. Nothing was too much trouble for Stella and her family. We had some amazing meals out, most notably Veranta, which is a 2 minute walk from the villa. You do need a car if you want to explore. I couldn’t recommend this villa more. Thank you again Stella.
