Holiday rentals near Military Museum

When I booked Armonia Villa, I did not know anything about the village, the town or the area of Crete and I’m so glad I booked it. We had the most wonderful week staying in this beautiful villa, with is pretty courtyard garden, peaceful reading alcove, superb swimmming pool, but most of all, our kind and gracious host, Amalia.She was super helpful sharing local knowledge with us, and even leaving us little treats each day. The area was quiet and peaceful, but also within easy reach of Rethymno and. Chania. I highly recommend Armonia Villa, and thank Amalia most sincerely for making our stay so special.

My family and I had the most incredible time at Thomas and Kiki’s home. Our hosts were so welcoming (loved Kiki’s moussaka and baklava). The home itself was very comfortable. Incredible sunsets on the front balcony, lazy days spent beside the pool, great restaurants and supermarkets close by. We really hope to be back one day - we all absolutely loved it!

Having read previous reviews, our expectations were high and we weren’t disappointed. We were a group of six - my husband and I and four late teen/adult children. I was after a villa that would provide a cool, comfortable and welcoming base for us as we explored Rethymno. I can only repeat what other reviewers have said - the villla was terrific. We also wanted to be located somewhere that would be easy for everyone to experience a bit of local life outside of the tourist traps - buying food from the local shops, taking the bus to and from Rethymno, having a coffee in one of several coffee shops and watching the neighbourhood. For this, the location was brilliant. George also helped to arrange a day trip to Samaria Gorge which was a highlight of our entire trip to Greece.
