We had a fantastic, relaxing stay at this villa. The view from the pool and roof terraces are amazing! A car is required for trips to the beach, bars and restaurants - we enjoyed a mix of evenings and lunches out and many at home bbqs.Thanks to Roula and Nikos for being wonderful hosts

Great house, lovely area

We really enjoyed our stay on Alkistis Villa. The view was lovely and the pool really refreshing. A car is essential and its a short drive to nearby beaches and many good restaurants. The owners are very helpful. Would happily recommend.

Crete Supreme

PROS: Beautiful villa and location with everything you need for a thoroughly relaxing holiday. Close to tavernas shopping and beach within 15 minutes. Excellent hosts who are happy to advise on any part of your holiday. Be up for the sunrise over the mountains from the roof terrace as its like nothing you will have seen before. CONS: A number feral cats who want feeding constantly - Our party was full of cat lovers so not a problem. You need a decent car as some of the gradients are approaching 1 in 1!!!! We had a Micra which wasn't up to the job. Lots of insect bites because of the olive grove location so go prepared with afterbite and bug killers for the bedrooms - it didn't detract from the holiday you just get used to it. Overall a great holiday, top accommodation and location.

Schönes Haus mit fantastischem Blick

Roula und ihr Mann haben uns herzlich empfangen. Haus und Grundstück sind wie beschrieben. Der Blick vom Haus ist einfach nur toll. Der Pool war sehr sauber. Wir waren im April dort und waren täglich im Pool. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt. Wir können das Haus weiterempfehlen.

Amazing place to stay

We have just returned from a 10 day stay at this villa. It ticks all the boxes, views are amazing, very clean and spacious, the outside area is very well looked after and the pool is perfect. All the things inside and out you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be staying again.

Bien

La maison est propre et tres bien equipée, la vue est superbe, elle est proche de toutes les commodités, plage, restaurants , rien a redire . Un seul point a ameliorer : les propriétaires viennent un jour sur deux entretenir la piscine et le jardin mais ils viennent a 19h , juste l'heure a laquelle ou vous avez envie de profiter de la piscine ... Nous avons loué de nombreuses maisons et l'entretient se fait toujours tot le matin pas a 19h

Amazing Vila, host's and location!!

What an amazing spacious vila with spectacular views and fantasic hosts. We were blown away by the welcoming hosts who went the extra mile for us. Thank you so much for meeting us in the middle of night when we arrived and looking after us so well. I highly recommend the vila for families. We had the best of both worlds, fun in the pool and great activities and places go a short drive away and also some peice and quiet in this beautiful very clean and fully equipped villa. The pool is a great size and fully equipped for plenty of fun with the kids. The views from the villa are breath taking just like the rest of the island. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again. We miss the views and our cat friends already. Thanks again for having us!! 😻

Vacances de rêve !

Nous avons séjourné 2 semaines du 10 au 24 juillet dans cette villa avec une vue absolument superbe ! Les propriétaires sont d'une très grande gentillesse, très accueillants et toujours disponibles pour répondre à nos questions et nous aider. Une voiture est nécessaire comme partout en Crête pour pouvoir profiter de l'île. La villa est très bien située, à 10-15 minutes de la mer en voiture et dans les collines ce qui nous donne une vue imprenable et une tranquilité sous le chant des cigales. Il y a la clim dans les chambres c'est top. En plus Rethymnon est une superbe ville. Nous conseillons la tarverne biofarm à 5 minutes en voiture ! Beaucoup de sites et plages de rêves sont accessibles à 1h, 1h30 de route, c'est un lieu idéal. Tout était parfait, nous reviendrons sans hésiter

Villa de qualité au calme avec une magnifique vue

Les propriétaires sont charmants et très discrets. La propriété est vraiment de bonne qualité, avec une bonne literie. La climatisation est très agréable. Nous avons apprécié les équipements présents dans la cuisine et la maison en général, on ne manquait de rien. Le parking est peu technique car une forte descente en marche arrière est nécessaire mais on finit pas s'y faire.

Location recommandée

Comme il est précisé dans le titre , je recommande fortement cette maison avec une superbe vue sur la mer. Les propriétaires sont agréables et vraiment disponibles. Ils nous ont donné des bonnes adresses pour manger notamment le restaurant OASIS situé à 5mns en voiture qui n est référencé nul part sur internet. La piscine n est ni trop grande ni trop petite. Bref un séjour fort agréable en Crète grâce à Nikos et sa femme.

Modern comfortable villa overlooking the coast

We stayed in Alkistis villa July 2018 and it was perfect for us (family of five). The villa, pool and garden are maintained to a very high standard. The location is private and quiet with amazing views towards the coast. Nikolaos was a perfect host, always very responsive to queries and always willing and available to help with the smallest detail.
