Rethymno Ancient Lappa Hotels

"Wonderful villa for a family holiday with amazing views!"

"Everything at the villa was wonderful, the location was convenient and the host was super attentive and prompt when issues were raised. "

"Home was clean, private with beautiful views. "

"Fantastic sea view. Some staff poorly trained and unfriendly. Had to switch rooms 2 more times for two night stay after checkin due to party noise and clogged shower drain. Parking is in limited supply and in areas needing some walk from room. Buffet breakfast and dinner quality is average. Non smoking is not enforced in restaurant subjecting non smoker quests including babys to smoke."

"The villa and the pool were both lovely. The view was the best of any villa we have stayed at (and there been quite a few). Gabby was very nice and very helpful. Taverna Maria was marvellous. We were there most nights. Beaches and shops all just a short drive. "

"My family's stay at the cottage was wonderful. The home was spacious, clean and mostly comfortable (although the beds were a little bit too firm for my family). The mountain and sea views were fantastic! Herbert was a kind and gracious host and was always available in case we had any concerns. He was delightful to talk to and he has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Although we were on a pre-planned schedule, he was always willing to offer a tour of surrounding areas. All in all, the stay was marvelous and we'd recommend staying there to anyone spending their holiday on Crete!"

"Wow! This place is heaven! The views and the peace and quiet. The pool is fabulous and the grounds and apartments are spotless.They are fully equipped with everything you need and are really comfortable. The shower is great and the air conditioning is perfect. Although you dont need it through the day as it is lovely and cool in the apartment. Celine who takes care of the place is such a kind and caring lady. She is very discreet yet will do all she can to help if needed shes fab! I was welcomed with water, juice and Raki :) The beach is just at the bottom of the hill and goes for miles with beach bars galore and the food is great. There is a supermarket 2 mins in the car up the road. You will need a car to travel here. The people that I spoke to come back year after year. Everyone needs to come here! Its perfect! "

"An excellent property and amazing hosts!The property is spacious, in an excellent condition and immaculately clean. It is very well laid out. The views are amazing. The area is very quiet. Bigger towns with plenty of touristy infrastructure are easily accessible within 20 minutes by car. However, on a daily basis, there is no need to go that far: within a few minutes drive, there is a good selection of restaurants and cafes which are less touristy and more authentic than the ones at the coast. Also, very decent mini markets, supermarkets, bakeries etc are near by.Most amazing, however, were our hosts: they were unbelievably helpful, supportive, generous, friendly, genuinely welcoming and warm-hearted. Whenever something was not quite perfect, they immediately put things right. This did not stop with things around the villa: when our wheelchair broke, they quickly found somebody who could weld it for us immediately and accompanied us to the workshop! No idea what we would have done without these awesome hosts! They live near by, so there is always somebody available - but they are never intrusive."

"We had an absolutely wonderful two-week stay at this home! It is perfectly located between Chania and Rethymno, making it easy to explore both cities while enjoying the peacefulness & privacy of the countryside. 2 nearby markets made grocery shopping convenient, and we found incredible restaurants in the area—Hasika in Rethymno was our favorite, with the best Greek salad & bougatsa of our trip!What truly set this VRBO apart was our host, Melina. She warmly greeted us upon arrival and gave us a thorough walkthrough. Not only did she make us feel welcome, but she also prepared a delicious homemade Greek meal, a bottle of wine and her own Raki. Her friendly advice and attentive hospitality throughout our stay made all the difference.The house itself was spotless, with comfortable beds and luxurious bedding. Great A/C & heat. The kitchen & outdoor firepit were well-equipped, making it easy to cook & enjoy meals at home. We visited several stunning beaches, including Elafonisi & Preveli but Episkopi just three minutes from the house was the best! We loved having the best of both worlds—tranquility among the olive & lemon trees while still being close to restaurants & shopping. The outdoor spaces were a highlight; we spent many hours on the beautiful covered patio, balconies to stargaze and both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces added a cozy touch.We are so glad we chose Crete for our March vacation—it was the perfect getaway, and this home made it truly unforgettable.
