INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA
The Villa is located in Missiria area in Rethymno.
Misiria is a consecutive suburb of Rethymnon.
A long sandy beach stretches along the area, which is an extension of vast north coastline that starts near the harbour of Rethymno and extends to the east for 13km till Skaleta beach. It is very well organised, with a plethora of choices for food, drink and beach bars.
Like in all parts of the long beachfront, loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) lay their eggs here. The turtles are threatened with extinction, but the Rethymno Gulf is one of the three most important places for the species in Greece, bearing annually more than 400 nests in average.
The town of Rethymno also offers many sightseeing spots, such as the Fortezza fortress, the Venetian harbour, several mosques, the municipal garden and more. Furthermore, several picturesque villages are within close proximity ideal for walks around the area.

Beautiful villa, lovely to spend time in, very clean and very good air conditioning. Plenty of decent restaurants in walking distance.
5.0 / 5.0
Villa Amara was comfortable all amenities required for a holiday and the open showers and bath in the bedrooms were novel. It was very clean - the shutters, insect screens and sealed external doors kept out any unwanted visitors. The pool was perfect and our 6 month old grandson loved the jacuzzi in the pool. Location was also perfect, walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants, but far enough not to encroach on our peace. Otillia our host was extremely helpful, also Etouri were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Would happily return and highly recommend.

This property was as amazing as it was described.
Otilia met us when we arrived and showed us around, and was available all through our stay if we had any questions.
The property is very close to the supermarket and lots of restaurants.
We did have a car but you don’t really need one.
The pool was lovely, we did have it heated as it might have been a bit cold even though the temperature was in the late 20’s to early 30’s.
Etorie, who manage the property were also very helpful.
We will definitely consider this property again if we visit Crete again

We had a great time in the villa. The pool is amazing and the location is perfect. Close to the beach, restaurants, shops. Everything is in walking distance. Would highly recommend
5.0 / 5.0
Wow...
What a fantastic property... modern, contemporary, amazingly well provisioned - there is virtually zero not to like about Amara III Villa and the ETOURI services crew who look after it...
Kostas' communications are flawless before your trip and then Adonis' approach to looking after you when you're there are equally as professional and importantly kind and considerate. The pool and outside area is cleaned every day - the pool incidentally is beautiful - we chose to have heated and whilst somewhat of a luxury at 60E per day, meant we could use 24/7. Inside the villa is superb - 3 floors mean 2 or even 3 couples could be accommodated in privacy - our 12 year old had the whole of the lower floor to herself and loved the gym and TV room/playstation for doing her thing and YouTube etc etc. Great wi-fi and the poolside speaker in conjunction meant long lazy days by the pool were fab!
Local to the villa a number of small shops, supermarkets and tavernas were good - the beach a short stroll away with sun loungers for our use... In terms of location within Rethymno you're about 3kms from the old city so a taxi ride (around 10E) necessary but in conjunction with Etouri, the taxi service was a simple call and ready at the end of the short walk along the villa pathway. The old town is beautiful, fish restaurants around the harbour delightful.
In summary, we will be contacting the Etouri Team again for our next trip to Crete! I can't wait!

Excellent house!
We had a wonderful week in Amara Villa! The house was clean and the service was outstanding. Close to beach but the private pool area was to good to leave for most of us.
5.0 / 5.0
Fabulous Villa and perfect holiday
The communication prior to arrival was excellent, the quality of the Villa is excellent and the best holiday Villa experience we have had. Atouri are very customer focussed with a concierge type experience at the heart of everything they do.
Without doubt a 5* Villa.
I will definitely book again.

Un séjour inoubliable dans une villa très confortable
Nous avons passé un séjour de 18 jours à Villa Amara. La villa a été conçue et décorée avec goût et elle est encore plus belle que sur les photos. Les lits sont confortables et la literie est changée tous les 3 jours. La Villa est bien équipée et offre plusieurs possibilités de détente (piscine, ping pong, fitness, sauna, jacuzzi, jeux de société).
La Villa est louée par l’agence Etouri qui était facilement joignable pendant tout notre séjour pour toutes sortes de questions. Nous avons été touchés par les nombreuses petites attentions de leur part pour rendre notre séjour encore plus agréable.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!
