Layout - Exterior
The amazing outdoor area of Anemomylos Villa II, is unique for relaxation and long days under the sun. There is a 45m² private swimming pool (11m * 4,10m and 1.20m - 1,60m deep), equipped with sun beds and umbrellas, welcomes you to unwind with a refreshing cocktail, as the setting provides an amazing display of sunsets and a soft, caressing breeze you will not soon forget.

The Villa is located in a 2.000 sq. m. olive grove area and the outdoor sitting areas and BBQ facilities are ideal for al fresco dining close to nature, which is an experience you will love! Sitting on the spacious veranda, you can enjoy the sweeping view overlooking the crystal blue freshwater pool and the stunning landscape and let your mind and soul wonder the Cretan countryside.

Interior - First Floor
Entering the 140m2 villa on the first floor, brings you in a large room, where the living room and the kitchen are placed. The comfortable couch and armchairs invite you to relax and unwind. The villa is equipped with state of the art technology including satellite TV and a fireplace, which gives a romantic touch.

From the open plan living room, a door leads into the more private space of the villa, comprised of two bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two single beds) and the bathroom. There you can also find the stairway that leads to the second floor of the villa. Every bedroom has its own balcony and closet.

Briliant
We stayed here for 10 days and it was absolutely lovely. Elena and Nikos were welcoming, as well as Nikos cleaning the BBQ each day and supplying with fresh coal. Easy access to Bali beach and other amenities! We would 100% recommend this to friends and family and would stay here again without a doubt. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

GREAT GETAWAY
Plenty of room for 7 adults to have a memorable vacation and unwind. Crete is magical and this location was the perfect retreat we all needed with the views and distance from ‘city life’. The hosts are amazing and gracious and kind. HIGHLY recommend.

Great Villa!
Villa was lovely and very well equipped. Beautiful surroundings and pool a great size and everyone loved. Hosts very welcoming and helpful with assisting to the local supermarkets as we didn't have a car and everything quite a distance away. Local beach Rethymnon was beautiful and everything you needed shops/restaurants all there. Very relaxing holiday, would definately go back.

Fab holiday
Villa amazing and Nikos and his wife were lovely with regular gifts from the grounds - a hire car or excellent taxi service recommended by villa management is essential- nearby villages Panormos and Bali are not walkable but are both fabulous. Thoroughly recommended.

Great Villa for a Relaxing Two Weeks
First off, the youngest member of our party (aged 11) would like to say “if you are reading this review book this villa now!”. Up front we should mention the amazing hosts Eleni and Nikos. We (2 adults and 2 children aged 13 & 11) had a fabulous stay in Villa Anemomylous II (Villa Maria) - we found it to be incredibly clean, spacious and well equipped for our stay. There is a great pool and plenty of areas/balconies to eat so can be in the shade or sun at any time of the day. We loved our breakfasts/lunches with a view and evening meals by the pool. The BBQ area was perfect and we have to thank Nikos who not only cleaned the BBQ daily after every use but also provided and topped up charcoal, firelighters and a lighter. There were plenty of towels etc and Eleni topped us up with fresh towels and bedding at regular intervals. This was in addition to the numerous deliveries of food - in our two week stay she brought us fresh tomatoes; a watermelon; oranges; lemons; stuffed aubergine mousakas and stuffed courgette flowers - all incredibly delicious (thank you Eleni!). Our only minor criticism would be that the mattresses are quite hard and take some getting used to but this didn’t detract from our stay. The villa is near Skepasti village which does have a bar and mini market but it didn’t look our thing so regularly visited the lovely harbour village of Panormo which is full of great restaurants/cafes, souvenir shops and supermarkets at literally a 5 minute drive. For main shopping the less touristy town of Perama was only 10 minutes away and has great butchers/bakers/fishmongers and larger supermarket options. Also nearby and definitely worth visiting are the Melidoni Cave (with a great cafe which we visited a few times just for the view and top notch milk-shakes) and Margarites (and it’s ceramic shops/tavernas). Finally, we also drove the rough road out of the village to the Kousistres beach (on Google maps - we parked at the top of the dirt road at the top of the zig-zag road down to the beach) a number of times. It was often deserted with shingle beach, good snorkelling plus a natural pool which the children loved. In summary we had a fabulous time at this villa and would recommend it to anyone; it is well located and equipped and we were incredibly well looked after by Eleni & Nikos. Thank you!
