Alles in der Villa stimmt mit der Beschreibung überein. George ist dazu ein aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Es haben beim Einchecken ein paar kleine lokale Leckerein auf uns gewartet. Pool und Außenbereich wurden täglich und das Haus zwei mal in der Woche gereinigt, inkl. Wäschewechsel. Obwohl die drei Häuser nahe beieinander liegen, kann man entspannt die Privatsphäre auf den Liegen unterm Olivenbaum und im Pool genießen. Einfach perfekt!
Alles war einfach wunderschön. Das Haus ist noch schöner als auf DEN Bildern, George ist sehr freundlich und gibt eine Menge Tipps für die besten Orte und Tavernen in der Umgebung und auch die Lage des Objekts ist einfach unschlagbar.
Man sollte sich darauf einstellen, dass man nie wieder abreisen möchte.

About the host
Hosted by George Evangelou
We have settled in Rethymno with my wife and son since 2006 after we returned from Manchester UK where I spent many years to complete my training in Dermatology and my Doctorate thesis from the University of Manchester. I love nature, meditation, and music as I am musician myself. Vederi offers me the opportunity to relax and enjoy the stillness with great clarity experienced in the grounds and landscape of Vederi Estate. The flora and horticultural is breathtaking, we also have private gardens with a variety of herbs and spices of Crete. All orchards are to be enjoyed, the organic fruit, vegetables, spices of the Estate.
Why they chose this property
The land was passed down through our parents and we always wanted to make the best of a place with unique beauty and tranquility.
What makes this property unique
Very close to the vibrant city of Rethymno with its amazing medieval architecture, long sandy beach and gourmet restaurants
