We are an extended family party of 8. The property is spacious, well equipped and very clean. The facilities are excellent with all amenities and equipment needed. The pool are in particular is really lovely and the children loved the slide into the pool, basketball net, table tennis table and table football. There are plenty of sunbeds and lots of options for shade. We were met on arrival and the owners are extremely attentive throughout with fruit and a delicious home made Pastiitsio waiting for us together with fruit. On two other occasions some lovely food was prepared for us. Within walking distance is Christos, a great local taverner with great food very reasonably priced. 8 of us ate there , with drinks for around 120 euros all in. The local bakery is great and both deliver free if needed. We had a car, which is definitely needed and ventured out to sight seeing and beaches frequently, although you could just as easily stay around the pool. The separate outdoor kitchen and dining area is great. if we had one observation it would be to perhaps include a standard cooker/hob too complement the BBQ and wood over, but that did. nit detract from our stay at all. Would definitely recommend.

The property was lovely. The family greeted us And sent us off. They were so very kind and generous. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. It was a little hard getting used to european plumbing, but other than that it was perfect. Highly reccommend.

The villa was absolutely fantastic - the photos don’t do justice to the inside and beautiful outdoor space. It was perfect for us with young children. The hosts were so welcoming. Etouri were great and made an excellent hire car recommendation and communicated really well with us before and during our stay. Highly recommended and would definitely visit again!

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at the villa, 4 adults and 4 children. The villa is great - clean and well equipped with lots of space and different areas to relax so even as a big group you don't feel on top of one another. The pool was cleaned regularly and kept nice and sparkling. Emma and her mother were superb hosts - arranging for weekly cleaning and providing wonderful homemade treats. Emma was also super helpful in suggesting restaurants and making reservations which made life very easy. It's a short drive to Rethymno which has a lovely atmosphere (especially in the evening) and a wide variety of restaurants. Local to the villa we were able to walk to Christos Taverna which provided lovely meals and a friendly service at reasonable prices. The outside bbq kitchen was a particular highlight and we enjoyed several evenings eating there. The Etouri agency was helpful and efficient and assisted with booking car hire and airport transfers - we were very grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary day at the Beach Club on our last day after check out. Thank you everyone for a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful!
Beautiful!
This villa has excellent facilities and plenty of room for our family of 5. But would easily accommodate up to 10. The owners were so amazing which made the whole holiday and experience even better. Emma helped us with any requests and went above and beyond with a welcome dinner as we arrived very late at night. As well as a hamper of goodies and even some supplies for breakfast the next day. I was worried that as the listing doesn’t say the pool is heated that, I wouldn’t be going in much because I hate being cold. But it was actually really pleasant and I was soo happy to be able to swim every day with the kids. Couldn’t recommend this villa enough!! We have already discussed a return in the future. And we never normally want to return to places as we like to experience new places each time we travel. Thank you so much for an amazing stay. See you again. Kindest regards Hannah and family
