Lovely villa with beautiful views!
We had a fantastic stay in Roumeli. The villa was perfect for our family of four and we especially loved the beautiful views and the pool. The villa is on the edge of a village looking out over olive groves. Very serene and peaceful. We found the beaches at Bali (15 min) were great for kids and teens and the port at Panormos (5min) was a lovely spot for dinner watching the sunset. It was great to have aircon in both bedrooms too and the house had every convenience we could need for a relaxing stay (dishwasher etc). Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful peaceful location
Eirene is located in the most beautiful and peaceful place at the edge of a very small village. We had a fabulous time here. We loved having the pool (and aircon in the bedrooms). It was very well stocked for cooking in the villa. The only thing I would say is that we arrived at 23.30 not having had anything to eat or much to drink since about 13.00 and there was nowhere open until late morning on the Sunday. There are 2 supermarkets here where you can get pretty much all you need. I would recommend getting a car because the village is quite remote but once you have, Crete is a beautiful place that is easy to explore with lots to do or time to just chill at this gorgeous villa.

First time in Crete
This is such a beautiful and peaceful villa, the photos don't do it justice. Our flight was delayed, and we struggled to find it in the dark - luckily we accidentally drove to Stefano's house and he very kindly led us to the villa. What a wonderful surprise when we woke up the next morning, and saw the beautiful view across the olive groves - magical. Our kids loved the pool, and we loved Crete. There are a couple of lovely cafes in Roumeli and you have to have dinner at Taverna Roumeli - so welcoming, and great food. We loved our 2 weeks of relaxing and exploring the area - so many lovely places to enjoy Rethymno, Plakias, Panormo to name just a few. The villa is very well equipped. There are 3 terraces so always somewhere shady to escape to, or somewhere to sunbathe, or somewhere to escape your family. A couple of things to bear in mind - there are a lot of steps - no problem for us but if you have mobility issues, or very small children, this might not be for you. The third bedroom is a self contained unit that cannot be accessed from inside the main villa, it has its own access and staircase - once again perfect for us, our daughter loved her own space. If you're looking for somewhere to relax and explore Crete - this villa is perfect. We hope to come back one day.

Villa Eirene
Our stay in Villa Eirene was everything we had hoped for! We all needed a quiet, relaxing and peaceful holiday, away from everything and the villa and its location provided just that! Chris was very helpful and provided us with useful information about the villa and the surrounding area and responded very quickly to a query that we had during our stay. We definitely would like to return again soon! Thank you Chris!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Thorn

Host profile image
We have owned the house for over 15 years from new and regularly holiday at the house with our 2 children. Both have had the first summer holidays at Crete at less than a year old! I prepare the house every Spring for guests and make sure everything is in place so you can enjoy a lovely, relaxing stay. If there any issues our neighbours Stefanos and Cheryl are on hand to help.

Why they chose this property

The house is a perfect location, overlooking an Olive grove but 5 minutes drive to the beach and the pretty village of Panormos, pottery village of Margarites, Bali with five beaches and inflatables for aqua fun and Melidoni caves and close to the lovely and lively town of Rethymno. Further afield but still less than an hour's drive, you can visit the Knossos palace, Waterparks, the Samaria gorge or the Acquarium.

You can reach the house within an hour from the airports at Heraklion and Chania.

The property itself is a home from home with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, outside and inside sofas, dinning and a private pool and terraced gardens featuring Orange and Lemon trees.

I don't know about you but I also like my modern conveniences, so there is WiFi, Blu'ray player, Flat screen, Multi-room speakers, Netflix and Spotify available! As well as all the gadgets you have at home in the Kitchen!

What makes this property unique

Just sit on the front or side balcony watching birds of prey circling high above as the sun rises or the sets over the Olive Grove amd watch the light change, it's magical!
