Europe villa rentals

The 'boat' reference might be confused with 'compact' or 'narrow and small' but really it relates to the feeling that you are on the water when you stay here. Do not hesitate; book this house because it is in the BEST location and the elevated position with the water immediately below is wonderful. The house is really lovely and it provides a generous space to relax, unwind and enjoy the magnificent view. In the warmer months, swimming and sunbathing is just a few steps away. Short walk to everywhere. Quite remarkable really!

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!

Fantastic views, host was great, aircon was fabulous, and had everything we neded. Thank You for sharing your lovely home

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.

A relaxing stay in the high end of Amalfi, about a 10 -15 minute walk from the port . A Lovely outdoor area of the accommodation , with extremely helpful hosts . A small local bus runs up and down from the centre of the town if you don’t feel like walking . Roberto the host collected us with our luggage from the port . Very smooth communication .

A fantastic experience - stayed here for a week - initially a bit scary because of the drive up the narrow road to get to the villa, but after doing it once all was ok - very little traffic - Massimo was an excellent host, met us in Lucca and we followed him out to the villa - very high up in the hills with magnificent views - we only had one small problem with the wifi but Massimo responded very quickly to sort it out I would highly recommend this villa

Good points: weather permitting the rear verandah is superb for outdoor dining with a fantastic view overlooking Lucca. Bedroom accommodation size was good and pleasantly decorated. Upstairs bedroom windows equipped with flyscreens and shutters. The kitchen and laundry was adequate for small numbers. The water spring at the bottom of the hill was refreshing and provided many a bottle of fresh water. The Bad: on arrival and departure luggage transfers was possible via a deteriorated steep pathway or many stairs through an adjoining private property which proved difficult. Daily movements through neighbours property felt uncomfortable and intrusive. The internal living area in the property is too small for the suggested number of people to be comfortably accommodated. The ugly: In our opinion driving on the access road to the property after dark is not safe and prohibited our movement in the evenings. The dishwasher filter was extremely dirty and was in need of a good clean. The mould around the shower recess was given a good clean together with the tiles on the kitchen bench as they were mouldy and unhygenic. The toilet brushes require replacing.
