About the host
Hosted by Marina Kazila
I work as a translator and as a professor of Spanish language, but at the same time I dedicate a big part of my time and energy in promoting Givera Villas, our family business. I love being in contact with people all over the world and satisfying their desire for exciting and relaxing vacations. My intention is to build a familiar and friendly relationship with guests, contributing to make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Why they chose this property
Villa Givera is surely the place you are looking for your dreamy getaway to Crete Island. It’s really your home away from home and offers privacy, peace of mind and complete relaxation thanks to its privileged location and the overwhelming and unobstructed views of the area. A great asset is the fact that the property is located only 2.5km far from the highway connecting the whole island. Thus, it's a crossroad between the two biggest towns of Crete, Heraklion and Chania, and it's the perfect starting point for exploring every corner of the island. An unmissable opportunity for those looking to escape, unwind and relax within idyllic surroundings.
Givera Villas (Villa Givera and Villa Metochi) is a family business launched by Mr. George Kazilas who wanted to put his own spin on the promotion of Cretan hospitality and top-notch accommodation and service. In 2006 he raised two lovely, private villas with personal commitment and care in order to preserve the Cretan heritage and offer visitors the opportunity to explore the beauties of this land, enjoy the landscape and experience the Cretan way of life. The longtime know-how of Kazilas Family is a guarantee of high quality vacations and a travelling experience you rarely get as a mass tourist. Villa Givera and Villa Metochi stand in two different locations, but they are both just a few-minute drive from the town of Rethymnon.
