We were a family party ranging from 3 months to 75 years old. We all agreed that this was the best Villa we've stayed in yet as a family!
Our highlights were the pool, the playground and the gardens. There are two well stocked kitchens and fridges and we used the bbq on multiple occasions. It was cleaned for us and the bins were taken out daily/garden arranged each morning. It's these little touches that we loved.
Breakfast was fab!!! Lots of choice and delicious.
Special shout out to Lina for the top communication and hospitality. She arranged masseuses to come to the house (recommend the deep tissue!) booked taxis and recommended (and booked) a restaurant which was perfect!
Nothing was too much trouble.
Special mention to Lina for her cooking too. We had three course meals cooked by her on two nights which made it feel like such a treat. Particularly as we had little ones sleeping so couldn't really go out. Food was amazing! Loved it all but can recommend the moussaka, Cretan risks, meatballs, lamb, potatoes were to die for etc etc. Don't miss the chocolate cake...
No negatives but the a/c rules were tricky to navigate for the children who went to bed early.

We have had an amazing holiday at this villa. The property was perfect for our family of 12. Lina was great and so helpful she contacted us every day to see if we needed anything. The breakfast every morning was fabulous and we arranged a meal one night cooked by Lina which was amazing. She provided everything setting of the table and fabulous food. If there was one negative I would say we couldn’t walk anywhere outside the villa but we found a taxi firm which took us into the town at night for meals drinks or shopping and it worked out 5 euros per person return which was fabulous. I would really recommend this villa for any large family and we are looking at returning in the future xx thank you so much for our wonderful holiday Lina xx

A beautiful villa which was a treat to stay informed our family of 8 adults and 5 small children. Nothing was too much trouble including providing 5 cots and 2 highchairs. Breakfasts were great and we had a Greek meal provided by Lina the housekeeper for my sons 40th birthday including a cake. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend

This is a fantastic villa in a great location. It was spacious, well equipped and close to local amenities. We absolutely loved the pool especially during the evenings when the lights came on and the outdoor kitchen BBQ area was used every night. The sunsets were superb and the views were stunning. The villa was cleaned thoroughly mid week with fresh bedding and towels provided. Breakfast every morning wasn’t expected and was delicious. It was delivered at 9am and consisted of pastries, fruit, eggs, cereal, bread and jam. It was different every day and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A special mention must go to our host Lina who was attentive without being intrusive. She advised and booked all of our activities and ensured our stay was of the highest standard! Would definitely recommend!

The yummy breaksfasts were very welcomed each morning .
Beds pretty hard - mixed thoughts with the adults!

We have just returned from the villa last week , the villa itself is really lovely / clean and is just as it is in the pictures.
Breakfast was included in the price and was really nice and plenty to go around all 12 of us.
One evening we stayed in for food, this was excellent and all freshly cooked , would highly recommend.
Lina was very helpful and friendly and also helped arrange a day out for us , she was there in person or on the Phone to answer any questions or give advise
Wound highly recommend this property

We were three families travelling together, with 7 children ranging from 2 to 11 in age. We had rented cars so we had the possibility to go places. Stongly recommoned to rent cars. Lina, the host, gave good advices for where to go and dont go. The house, pool and garden maintenace, cleaning, included breakfast and the one dinner we ordered was all very good! It is worth mentioning that the doors to the bedrooms needs to be closed in order to run the AC, which can be a bit annoying when putting the youngest kids to bed. We fixed this with attacing magnets to door sensor. We had some days with strong winds from NW, it was good to go to Bali Beach area or Lake Kournas on these days.
Thanks for a fantastic stay!

We stayed end of May 2022, 4 families. 8 adults and 6 children. Lina looked after us incredibly well and helped us with all of our needs. Breakfast every morning was incredible and we had Lina cater for us on our 1st night. Traditional Moussaka, Greek salad and meatballs and potatoes. It’s was amazing.
The maid service worked incredibly hard also and were greatly appreciated.
There is a bakery you can walk to that also serves lunch and dinner. Not a lot more around. You would need to get taxis into town or hire cars. We had a fantastic sunny week in a beautiful location and would definitely return. Thank you for looking after us so well.

When you see pictures of a holiday home you never think it can actually be that lovely......but Tria Monastiria definitely exceeded our expectations. The rooms were spacious and cleaned twice while we were there, sheets and towels changed. With 15 of us the dishwasher was well used with tablets provided. We certainly made use of the outdoor eating spaces and the kids made full use of the pool. Maria, the manager was on hand with tips about places to visit etc. What we hadn’t realised was that breakfast was included in the price, thus reducing our shopping costs and providing us with a leisurely start to each morning.....eggs, cereal, bread, cheese, ham, Greek yoghurt & honey, doughnuts, croissants and pastries.
Initial concerns about a late flight and how to get the keys were solved once we knew that a call to Maria, once landed and she would greet us at any time.
Just what we all needed. Thank you.

3 families shared this wonderful villa whilst visiting rethymno for my daughter's wedding. Cannot recommend highly enough. Interior is immaculate with enough space for everyone. However the star of the show is the outdoor area with stunning views of snow capped mountains on one side and old rethymno on the other. The pool and barbecue areas
2.5 / 5.0
The villas and the grounds are incredible every amenity is catered for and Maria and Manos and Elena the owner are wonderful to deal with. The organised for us breakfast at the villa as well as a bazuki player for BBQ Greek night! I definitely recommend these villas (there are two villas identical next to each other) so that worked out amazingly for our large group of 26 people! Thanks again!

We had a fantastic week staying in this villa. Maria and her husband made us feel so welcome and sorted out any issue we had very efficiently and with a smile. The view from both villas is spectacular and we particularly enjoyed doing barbeques by the pool in the evenings. Would highly recommend holidaying here.

Just finished a two week holiday at the villa. It is beautiful villa in a superb location overlooking the med and Rethymnon. The outside space is superb with a luxurious swimming pool, spacious patio and barbecue area. Lena greeted us on arrival and looked after us during our stay. We were made very welcome throughout our visit. We used the catering service on a couple of occasions and would recommend it to future visitors. Rethymnon is approx 10 mins away in a car and the journey in a taxi costs approx 7 euro but less if they actually use the meter! We enjoyed the water sports on the beach but made good use of our pool area. Highly recommended is the Avli restaurant especially the garden courtyard which is probably the nicest setting for a meal we have ever encountered. Rethymnon itself is a great mix of traditional narrow cobbled streets and cosmopolitan bars, basically something to suit all tastes. In summary we would highly recommend the villa and the resort and will be coming back in the not too distant future.
