Great villa in Cretes (Rethymno)
We stayed at villa Francesca for 10 days and were pleased with the place. It was great to enjoy the pool and play games at the amazing table on the pool side. During the day we would leave for day trips and it was great to be back at the villa at the end of the day ( it was very hot in July). We were 10 ( 2 families of 5 ) all adults and it was big enough for all to enjoy some private time when needed.

Top class luxury Villa
We had a great stay at this very well equipped and extremely comfortable property. The Villa has everything you need for a luxury stay close to a wide range of attractions and dining options. The Villa is spotlessly clean with plenty of space for a large party. The grounds and large pool all add to the experience, an all-round great option for a high quality, well equipped Villa in Crete. The Villa benefits from a great view of the northern coast and is located in a quiet spot but close to all amenities and access to other parts of the island. The management team of the Villa couldn’t have been more helpful during our stay.

Gut ausgestattete Villa
Die Kommunikation zu Beginn der Buchung war hervorragend. Es wurde geholfen, wo es ging ( Taxi, Mietwagen etc) Die Fragen wurden rasch beantwortet und man konnte sich zu jeder Tag und Nachtzeit melden. Vielen Dank hierfür. Die Villa war sehr gut ausgestattet. Zwei Küchen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen. Der Garten ist ein Traum und der Poolbereich wunderschön. Es gibt 5 Schlafzimmer wobei man hier anmerken muss, dass ein Zimmer Durchgangszimmer ist, um von der oberen Etage in die Untere Etage zu gelangen. Das war leider nirgends in der Beschreibung vermerkt und war nicht komfortabel, da man immer über den Außenbereich nach unten gehen musste. Wenn man zwei separate Wohnungen haben möchte ideal, für uns war es umständlich, da man die Privatsphäre der Personen in diesem Zimmer wahren wollte. Die Bäder waren geräumig und ausreichend. Hier muss man darauf Hinweisen, dass man kein Toilettenpapier herunterspülen darf und man dieses in einen Mülleimer werfen muss. Für uns sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht komfortabel. Man benötigt auf jeden Fall ein Auto, da die Villa außerhalb von Rethymnon liegt. Nebenan befindet sich ein Gehege von Schafen, Ziegen und Hunden. Die Hunde waren angeleint und konnten sich kaum bewegen und haben bei jeder Kleinigkeit gebellt. Nach einigen Tagen hörte man dies aber nicht mehr so stark. In der Nähe befinden sich Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und in 10 Minuten Entfernung die Altstadt mit ausreichend Parkmöglichkeiten. Die Sauberkeit der Villa war nach einer Woche sehr gut. Zu Beginn war leider das Putzteam krank welches jeden zweiten/dritten Tag kommt, weshalb es beim einchecken nicht sehr sauber war. Nach Rückfrage wurde dies aber schnell behoben. Danke hierfür. Alles in allem eine super tolle Villa

We loved our stay
My contact for the villa Konstantina was so helpful right from the time of booking to helping us with car hire and taxis during our stay. She was also so supportive when my husband had an accident and needed to go to hospital and sent him flowers wishing him a speedy recovery. It happened at the beginning of our holiday and the villa was a perfect place to get back on his feet again. Thank you Konstantina.

Why they chose this property

The whole surrounding area is in a quiet natural environment and even though the city is close, you can feel “away from it all”!.
The villa is located on the outskirts of Rethymno town in a totally private area, just outside the village Gallos.
In Gallos village where you can go on foot, you will find mini market (950 m ),a butcher shop 9 min away by car,a coffee shop (1,1 km ) which also delivers you to the villa and a great traditional tavern(1,3 km ). Also an organised tennis court is located 600 meters away from the villa!
Furthermore, the villa’s location provides a great base for making excursions around Crete as the main national road is only a couple of minutes away.
Staying at our villa will give you the advantage of relaxing in a quiet private area while literally being close to everything, a perfect choice for all the family!
