Villa Evelyn is one of the most beautifully designed accommodation I’ve ever stayed it. It provided our family of 9 with plenty of space both indoor and outdoor. Nestled in a small village, there were plenty of options for eating, drinking, and exploring. Just 10 minutes from the highway by car and located south of Rethymno, made it ideal to explore the island of Crete in all directions.
Our hosts Olga and Mike were incredibly generous, warm, and caring. If you’re looking for a stay to provide you a different experience than the standard in a larger town/city, Villa Evelyn will not disappoint.

Dear Lionel, thank you for your kind review and we hope to have the chance to host you again in the future! Best regards, Kreta Eiendom Team.
Our stay in Crete was the most wonderful and autentica experience! The villa Evelyn is one of the most beautiful and well-designed places we have ever stayed. We spent 10 days here for a family reunion, and it exceeded all our expectations.
The host, Olga, was exceptional. She provided us with valuable tips about neighboring stores and restaurants, and went above and beyond by baking a cake and providing house wine and raki upon our arrival. Her hospitality truly made us feel at home.
The village where the villa is located is charming, with several local taverns offering great and very affordable food. We particularly enjoyed the best lamb we have ever had! The villa's location is perfect, being just a 15-minute drive to several beautiful beaches and a 25-minute drive to Rethymno.
This villa is highly recommended for families. However, you will need a car to get around. Overall, our stay at villa Evelyn was unforgettable, and we would love to return.
