Perfection!
A fantastic property, newly constructed, with a modern design and all you could wish for to make for an enjoyable stay. The hosts were always available to answer any questions and nothing was too much trouble. Having Mr Michaelis on site every morning keeping on top of the pool and garden meant the outside spaces were always clean and tidy. The location was excellent, private and secluded but only minutes away by car to shops, restaurants and beaches. Highly recommended.

Amazing, 5* stay
Amazing villa, the pictures don’t do it justice! Slightly further out from beaches/restaurants so a car/taxi rides are a must. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. We would highly recommend this villa!

Beautiful Villa
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous accommodation. Everything we needed was catered for, beds super comfy, outdoor space lovely for relaxing in the evening. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough for visiting the supermarket. We enjoyed lovely meals in the local village restaurants.
Would highly recommend , and thank you Valia for all your swift replies to our questions before we arrived.

Een FANTASTISCH huis met alles erop en araan
We hebben een hele mooie week gehad, de Vila ontbreekt aan niets. Het is allemaal tip top verzorgd. De gastheer en gastvrouw staan direct met antwoorden en tips voor je klaar. Het is echt een aanrader. Zouden zo weer terug gaan. Midden in de week wordt de Vila schoongemaakt en is er handdoeken wissel. Echt in één woord TOP!

Alt levede op til de forventninger billederne havde givet os. Huset var fantastisk og havde alt man kunne ønske sig. Virkelig pænt og rent ved ankomst og utrolige søde værter. Vi havde den skønneste ferie og Rethymno er en virkelig skøn by der er et besøg værd
