A fantastic property and location
We had a wonderful time here. The host and agents were fantastic and extremely helpful, I can’t give a better review in terms of the help they gave us, it really was great. The villa was spotless with all amenities that you would need and had clearly been refurbished recently to a very high standard. The location is very quiet but only a 4 minute stroll to a small market and an absolutely fantastic Taverna - don’t miss this place it was one of the highlights of our time in Crete. The location was also excellent as we could hop over to the South of the island easily and to Rethymno and into Chania and Heraklion (although longer drives). I highly recommend the villa, the owner and the agent

Great villa for a group of friends
Awesome villa with a small pool and jacuzzi + dining table outside, grill, probably everything you can think of for a great holiday. A bit hard to reach the first time, so try to stick to the main road and don't take any shortcuts. Upon arrival, we were gritted with some food and water in the fridge which was great. The owner Kostas was very friendly and there is also whatsapp number to stay in touch and ask questions or so. When our dishwasher capsules were finished, we asked for more and they were delivered very quickly to the house - great service in addition to a beautiful villa. Also, an entrance to the fancy beach at Rethymno was arranged for us with some free drinks and fruits which was also very nice surprise. So, I recommend it very much and I think they have more villas managed by the same people, so I expect the level of service would be the same on those.

Casa splendida e molto accogliente
La casa è proprio come la immaginavamo vedendo le foto. Arredata con gusto, molto accogliente e pulita, silenzio e privacy impagabili. Si trova in un paesino a pochi chilometri dalle spiagge, è consigliabile l'affitto di un'automobile per vedere tutte le bellezze dell'isola. Molto apprezzata la vasca idromassaggio nei momenti di relax. La signora Sophia della Etouri Vacation è stata molto disponibile e pronta a rispondere a qualsiasi nostra richiesta. Appena arrivati siamo stati accolti dal proprietario che ci ha fatto sentire subito bene e a nostro agio. Essendo arrivati di sera tardi avevamo chiesto al proprietario una spesa per la colazione a pagamento; in più gentilmente ci ha offerto un bel cesto di frutta fresca!! L'unico neo ... la mancanza di qualche utensile in più in cucina. Siamo tornati da poco e ci manca tantissimo .... sicuramente da consigliare! E' stata una piacevole e bella esperienza che speriamo di poter rifare ancora.
