delicious holiday

We arrived to a warm welcome with a fridge full of food after our journey from the airport. Beautiful pool which kept us all amused including two teenage children. Lovely location with good view across the valley. The owner was very knowledgable and helpful with all our questions. The property was cleaned to a high standard twice a week, this is included in the price. We loved the villa and the surrounding area, full of history. We would highly recommend this property and we would rent it again. The Barnard family, London, England

A perfect 2 week stay at the gorgeous Villa Nikoloas and only wish we could have stayed longer! The villa has everything you need for a relaxing stay from a really well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and good air conditioning in the bedrooms, to a fabulous ourdoor spsce with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The views are stunning and it was such a peaceful place to relax and just enjoy the gardens and nature. The pool is by far the best of any holiday villa we've been to and truly is a pool with a view! The swifts loved it too and was great to watch them every evening skimming across the top of the pool to cool off. We were met and shown around by the owners who are so lovely and incredibly helpful. They had left a welcome hamper along with homemade olive oil and raki - delicious! They were very responsive to any questions and had great tips of places to visit and things to do.The village taverna Kafenio Filio is a must visit for great home cooked food and a welcoming atmosphere and it's literally a 2 min walk from the villa - and a walk around the local museum and the archaeological site is well worth it too.Great location and easy to drive to beaches, towns and places of interest. Thoroughly recommend Villa Nikolaos and we will be back!

Tophuisje voor een vakantie in de natuur

Een heel leuke vakantie gehad in ons vakantiehuis, ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar rust in de natuur. Dichtbij mogelijkheden om te wandelen, cultuur op te snuiven, met de auto is de kust ook niet ver. In het dorpje zelf (gewoon de straat uit) is een heerlijke taverne: supervriendelijke mensen, het eten is geweldig, dus zeker een aanrader! Het huisje zelf is ruim genoeg, airco op de slaapkamers, bad- en bedlinnen wordt voorzien en ververst, er werd zelfs gepoetst, top dus! De tuin is zalig om in te vertoeven, vele verschillende schaduwplekken en een heerlijk zwembad met fantastisch uitzicht. Zeker een aanrader dus!

Ruhe, Landschaft, gute Luft

Wir waren einen Teil unserer Ferien nach dem Hotel an der Küste fernab vom Strandtrubel noch in diesem sehr schönen Haus in den "Bergen". Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, in einem großen Terrassengrundstück gelegen mit einem tollen Blick in ein kleines Tal. Mehrere Sitzecken je nach Sonnenstand. Pool klein aber perfekt. Der Ort bietet unter anderem ausgewiesene Wanderstrecken zu den Ausgrabungsstätten und historischen Überresten (Alter Turm, Zisternen,...), so daß man problemlos vom Haus aus loswandern kann. Die kleine Taverne am Ort bietet gute und einfache Küche bei extrem freundlichem Personal. Neben der Taverne erfreut einen dann das abendliche kretische Dorfleben. Unsere Furcht vor dem nächtlichen Bellen der Nachbarshunde (in einer früheren Bewertung berichtet) war zum Glück unbegründet. Wir haben nachts in der Richtung nichts vernommen, sondern vielmehr die Ruhe genossen. Die Nachbarskatzen besuchen einen gerne und häufig, lärmen ja aber nicht. Die Vermieter waren ausnehmend freundlich, es gab eine Zwischenreinigung unter der Woche. Die Vermietungsagentur hat allerdings im Vorhinein in meinen Augen unnötig viele Mails versendet, die zum Teil zu beantworten waren. Fazit: ein perfektes Ferienhaus. Wir sind gerne bei Gelegenheit zu einem zweiten Besuch bereit.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Wir (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kind) waren im August für 12 Tage in diesem Haus. Das Haus ist am Rand einer Schlucht, ca. 20 Minuten von der Küstenlinie entfernt, im Hinterland gelegen. Es hat uns dort sehr gut gefallen. Das Grundstück ist groß, schön angelegt und bietet verschiedene Sitzecken, die wir, je nach Sonnenstand, auch alle genutzt haben. Insbesondere der alte Baumbestand ist wirklich schön in das Anwesen integriert. Die veröffentlichten Bilder geben die Gegebenheiten realistisch wieder. Das Haus bietet alles, was man für einen Aufenthalt braucht und hatte für uns eine perfekte Größe. Der Pool im hinteren Teil des länglichen Grundstücks war wirklich traumhaft; jederzeit glasklar, mit abfallender Tiefe, ausreichender Größe und vor Allem mit einem herrlichen Blick in die angrenzende Schlucht. Die Lage bietet auch einen guten Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge zu einigen Sehenswürdigkeiten bzw. zu schönen Stränden. Die Vermieter und auch die Mitarbeiter der Agentur Etouri waren sehr freundlich, jederzeit zu erreichen und standen bei Fragen zur Verfügung. Auch zu loben ist die kleine Taverne, ca. 100 Meter entfernt, in der wir mehrfach gegessen haben. Alles in Allem war es ein rundum gelungener Urlaub.

Amazing holiday

Lovely farmhouse, garden, and pool. Very friendly and welcoming owners. Amazing outlook down the ravine, with beautiful sunsets. Huge advantage being just a 2-minute walk from the village taverna, which is very good. The village location does mean close proximity to neighbours, including another rental villa with pool, so there might be noise, depending on the group staying there. But overall the location has far more pros than cons, and the property feels private because of the mature garden. The sites of ancient Eleftherna are within easy walking distance. Make sure you watch a sunset from the Byzantine tower. Would very happily stay here again. A beautiful place.

Magical place in an ancient village

The garden is a Wonderland, so much beauty and so many lovely places to sit and soak in the gorgeous views. The villa is clearly a beloved sanctuary - with great history and care from the family who owns it. Inside was the perfect respite from the heat - big space, cool floors, all that you need to relax and enjoy Crete. We particularly loved the village taverna “Filio” and went every single day! So nice to be able to walk one minute to dinner. Our infant son actually took his first steps here. A very special place in a very special part of Crete. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous villa with stunning views

We loved our stay at the villa. The pool and garden area were gorgeous. We loved swimming in the pool which wasn't too chilly. For two people there was lots of space, it would be perfect for families too. Gorgeous upstairs terrace which we didn't end up using that much as the garden and pool area was so nice. In general a peaceful setting, in a small village away from other tourists. We went in May which was a perfect time of year, nice and warm but not too hot and seemed quite quiet on the island overall. Incredible views of the mountains which were still covered in snow. We'd definitely return.

Wir (2 Paare) hatten einen tollen Urlaub in dieser schönen Villa mit dem wunderschönen Garten und natürlich dem Pool. Sehr nette Vermieter, inkl. der Oma, die sich um uns und den Garten gekümmert haben. Das Haus ist perfekt und hochwertig ausgestattet und wird regelmäßig gereinigt. Danke auch dafür. Die Taverne Filio, gleich um die Ecke, müssen wir unbedingt erwähnen. Wir haben noch nirgends so leckere ursprüngliche kretische Küche kennen gelernt, obwohl wir schon sehr oft auf Kreta waren. Georg als Wirt und Valia als Köchin verwöhnen ihre Gäste mit griechischer Gastfreundlichkeit und wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Das war nicht unser letzter Besuch im Filio! Die Agentur Etouri hat ständig Kontakt zu uns gehalten, um uns bei Wünschen zu unterstützen. Die Lage ist sehr gut für Ausflüge und Erkundungstouren. Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligten für eine schöne, erholsame Zeit auf Kreta. Kathrin, Steffi, Thomas und Kay

We - a family of four - had a wonderful stay in this beautiful villa. Located in a small village and with a spectacular view, the villa is perfect for exploring the Rethymnon area or just relaxing in a quiet rural setting. The general standard of the villa is very high and the garden and pool area is unique. Do visit the local cafe Filio for great food and friendly atmosphere.

A fabulous holiday

We had a great time in the Villa. We arrived late but Vangelis showed us around and there was a lovely welcome pack of food, bread, milk, cheese, eggs and fruit in the fridge which was much appreciated. We loved the pool and swam everyday. The villa was clean, spacious, well equipped and comfortable and the gardens were lovely with lots of different areas to sit to get sun it shade with fantastic views. The supermarket wasn’t far to get to and we ate a couple of evenings in the taverna in the village which served tasty dishes

A wonderful relaxing 12 days

This is our fourth visit to Villa Nikolaos and also the longest stay. The house and gardens are still just as gorgeous, which is what keeps us coming back. The village also has the feel of a real traditional Greek community, cafe Filio is fabulous! The owners are lovely and really friendly, the food is delicious. We took a walk to the ancient bridge this time which was worth seeing, Bali on the coast has a good beach and nice family taverna for lunch. Thank you to both the team at Etouri and Vangelis the owner, nothing is ever too much trouble!! We will be back 😀

unbedingt empfehlenswert

Wir sind zwei Paare, keine Strandmenschen, interessiert an Wanderungen, neuer und alter Kultur und allgemein an Land und Leuten. Die Fotos zum Haus sind nicht geschönt, es ist alles wundervoll renoviert, in der von uns intensiv genutzten Küche kann man gut arbeiten. Die Räume sind großzügig, die Fenster der Schlafräume haben wirksamen Insektenschutz. Das Grundstück ist riesig, man findet viele ruhige Plätze nach jedermanns Geschmack. Der Vermieter kümmert sich persönlich und sehr herzlich um seine Gäste, die Reinigung und der Wäschewechsel sind wie in einem Drei-Sterne-Hotel. Das Haus liegt mit wundervoller Weitsicht in einem kleinen Dorf, direkt an einem Tal mit überwiegend frei zugänglichen Ausgrabungsstätten - mit einem vorherigen Besuch im nahe gelegenen Museum und mit Hilfe des Vermieters bekommt man schnell Zugang zu den Funden. Wir haben von hier aus Ausflüge nach Rethymno, Heraklion und in die größere Umgebung gemacht - für den entfernten Westen hatten wir später ein weiteres Quartier. Die Straßen und Wege haben zwar bei den Frühjahrstürmen sehr gelitten, es wird aber fleißig repariert und alle Orte waren gut mit unserem Miet-Kleinwagen erreichbar. Wer möchte kann schnell Kontakt mit den Bewohnern des Hauses bekommen - trotz schrecklicher Vergangenheit werden Deutsche mit offenen Armen empfangen.

Relaxing holiday in tranquil Crete

We arrived at the Villa having weaved our way up from the Rethymon, this took an eternity and we all wondered if we would ever find our destination. However it was well worth the journey, the location of the villa was outstanding, perched on the side of a hill with amazing scenic views. The gardens were beautifully laid out, tiered on different levels, with fruit, vegetable, herbs and flowers growing in abundance. The pool, oh my goodness, words are not sufficient to describe this infinity pool, the water was warm and swimming in this location was amazing. The villa was well equipped, bedrooms well furnished and the bathroom had very modern suite and shower. Vangelis and his family made us feel very welcome, we were greeted by his son and then later that day Vangelis arrived to welcome us. Throughout our stay Vangelis was helpful, charming to deal with and we had several very pleasant chats with him, he was a charming host. The local village was accomodating and very friendly towards us, we infact ate at the local taverna on three occasions, George and his wife we so charming, simple greek cuisine but very tasty. We would thoroughly reccomend this villa in a stunning location to get a real taste of authentic Crete. Kind regards The Odell family
