The family size wooden table of the veranda invites you to enjoy your Cretan meals, while the lounge furniture is ideal for a night drink by the pool. At the stone-built BBQ facilities with the extra sink and fridge you can experience homemade al fresco lunches. Additionally, there is a lot of space covered with grass, ornamental trees, rose bushes, geraniums and aromatic plants, whilst the stone paved path leading to the entrance of the villa is the perfect place to safely park your car.

Beautiful villa
Cannot speak too highly about this villa. It had everything we needed. Plenty of space, fantastic inside and out. Pool great size and as for the views and sunsets- wow! Yes it is a little out of the way but worth it.

Beautiful villa with marvelous view
We are a family of four and always prefer a nice villa/house over a hotel and therefore have become „veterans“ in renting vacation houses over the years. This was certainly one of the best properties we have ever rented. Everything was as advertised or even better. The kitchen has everything you need. The interior of the house is very tasteful and impeccable. The outdoor space is five star plus (pool, porch, barbecue area, sunbeds, view, ....). It is about 10 min. into town (one of the nicest on Crete). And last but not least Marina is a great host. Not at all intrusive but 100% responsive. Thanks for letting us have your villa for two weeks !

Beautiful villa in a great location
The villa is situated close to Rethymnon with all this beautiful town has to offer. At the same time, the location is very private. The villa, the pool and especially the view are amazing and offer everything you might wish for (trust the pictures!). The villa & surroundings are very clean and well cared for. The owner is always incredibly helpful and welcoming. We've been staying at the villa several times now and have always had a great holiday!

About the host

Hosted by Marina Kazila

Host profile image
I work as a translator and as a professor of Spanish language, but at the same time I dedicate a big part of my time and energy in promoting Givera Villas, our family business. I love being in contact with people all over the world and satisfying their desire for exciting and relaxing vacations. My intention is to build a familiar and friendly relationship with guests, contributing to make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Villa Givera is surely the place you are looking for your dreamy getaway to Crete Island. It’s really your home away from home and offers privacy, peace of mind and complete relaxation thanks to its privileged location and the overwhelming and unobstructed views of the area. A great asset is the fact that the property is located only 2.5km far from the highway connecting the whole island. Thus, it's a crossroad between the two biggest towns of Crete, Heraklion and Chania, and it's the perfect starting point for exploring every corner of the island. An unmissable opportunity for those looking to escape, unwind and relax within idyllic surroundings.

Givera Villas (Villa Givera and Villa Metochi) is a family business launched by Mr. George Kazilas who wanted to put his own spin on the promotion of Cretan hospitality and top-notch accommodation and service. In 2006 he raised two lovely, private villas with personal commitment and care in order to preserve the Cretan heritage and offer visitors the opportunity to explore the beauties of this land, enjoy the landscape and experience the Cretan way of life. The longtime know-how of Kazilas Family is a guarantee of high quality vacations and a travelling experience you rarely get as a mass tourist. Villa Givera and Villa Metochi stand in two different locations, but they are both just a few-minute drive from the town of Rethymnon.
