Luxury Stone Built Villa
Villa Saridakis is an oasis of calm and luxury about 15mins drive from the hustle and bustle of Rethymno centre. We stayed as two families for 11 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The villa was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and offered flexible accommodation for both sun worshipping and sleeping. We had fresh eggs every morning from the chickens and made good friends with the cute local moggy - who we affectionally named “fleabag” - and the horse in the neighbouring field. The pool was large (and deep) with plenty of sun beds and there was also a pool house which was great for socialising in the evenings. Importantly there were three good Tavernas within easy walking distance. Maria was very kind and attentive and immediately responded to all our requests. If you are looking for a quality property a few minutes into the hills, this villa comes highly recommended. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Blissful stay
What a fabulous property could not have wished for better. Not keen on the chickens and they produced far too many eggs we couldn't give them away ! We did feel as though we had just been handed all responsibility for them which wasn't great to be honest. The villa is gorgeous though, we used the little pool house all the time. Only one improvement would be an information book on how to work everything as it was mainly trial error or texting the owner/manager which was a bit of a pain Would definitely recommend and we will be rebooking for next year.

Absolutely Fantastic!!
My partner, my parents and I stayed in this beautiful villa for 10 days recently. From the moment I booked the villa, Valia, from Home and Away was on hand to answer all my queries (and I had a lot!!) I was given Maria's (the owner) number so I could contact her when we arrived and we had a few conversations over WhatsApp when we landed and were travelling to the villa, so she could make sure she was there when we arrived. I'd been sent an email from Valia with links for directions to the villa which were so helpful as it was a link straight to google maps so there was no worry about us not knowing where to go. On arrival, Maria greeted us and showed us around the beautiful villa, introduced us to the chickens and Meow the cat, who we all became very fond of during our stay. Having fresh eggs every day was lovely too - thank you chickens! Maria had brought us some food so we didn't need to worry on our first day as we arrived late afternoon and wanted to settle in. She also gave us some homemade wine and raki (very good indeed). She then drove me around the small village and showed me where the 3 tavernas were. We went to the same one all the time as the service was good and the food was not only lovely but so cheap! They also always gave us at least 3 free dishes before any starters came out. Cleaners came twice during our stay and they were extremely thorough. On our last day we should have checked out in the morning, but I asked if we could stay on as our flight was in the evening. We were able to stay as long as we wanted, but just had to vacate the upper levels, which was perfect as we had plenty of space still. Maria came to say goodbye and gave us more presents. Rethymno town is about a 20 minute drive from the villa and there is a carpark about 5 minutes walk from the old town which is very reasonably priced. We used this all the time. Whilst staying at the villa any questions/issues I had I emailed Valia and always got a response within a very short period. One night I emailed quite late, expecting to get a reply in the morning, but she replied that night!! I don't recall ever having such great service and on behalf of my family I would like to thank Valia for exceptional customer service and Maria for being a fantastic host.
