Crete oceanfront rentals

Amazing Villa immaculately clean with private roof top and views of the ocean. We were greeted by the owner who is so helpful with everything. Centrally located and surrounded by Tavernas serving great food. I'll be back!!

When I booked Armonia Villa, I did not know anything about the village, the town or the area of Crete and I’m so glad I booked it. We had the most wonderful week staying in this beautiful villa, with is pretty courtyard garden, peaceful reading alcove, superb swimmming pool, but most of all, our kind and gracious host, Amalia.She was super helpful sharing local knowledge with us, and even leaving us little treats each day. The area was quiet and peaceful, but also within easy reach of Rethymno and. Chania. I highly recommend Armonia Villa, and thank Amalia most sincerely for making our stay so special.

Having read previous reviews, our expectations were high and we weren’t disappointed. We were a group of six - my husband and I and four late teen/adult children. I was after a villa that would provide a cool, comfortable and welcoming base for us as we explored Rethymno. I can only repeat what other reviewers have said - the villla was terrific. We also wanted to be located somewhere that would be easy for everyone to experience a bit of local life outside of the tourist traps - buying food from the local shops, taking the bus to and from Rethymno, having a coffee in one of several coffee shops and watching the neighbourhood. For this, the location was brilliant. George also helped to arrange a day trip to Samaria Gorge which was a highlight of our entire trip to Greece.

Deziree is centrally located in Old Town, perfectly positioned to stroll to the many restaurants. Maria goes above in her communication and to help where she can. We can not speak highly enough of Maria, although we didn’t get the chance to meet in person. The accommodation is exactly as shown and is beautifully decorated. It was a little cosy with 4 adults in the living area, but did not cause us an issue. All the extra touches make you feel special. Make sure you go the recommendations in Maria’s guide book that she has has supplied. As mentioned by other guests, it has three levels, and is an effort to carry up suitcases, but don’t let that deter you! Definitely would recommend and hope to return one day.
