Overall the house was good but the kitchen utensils need replacing knives were blunt.
The pool had not been cleaned. There was a thick layer of grease or suntan
The villa was immacualte and in a beautiful location. Overlooking the coast line with a spacious yard and private pool made it a proper place to escape to but with Rethimno only 10 mins drive away. You'll need a hire car to access the property but the road is easy despite being narrow.
Only remote downside was the little farm across the driveway has a peacock and roosters so dont expect a sleep in!
This was our second stay at villa Sevos and it has been fully renovated since our last visit in September 22. We loved it before but it's even better now, clean and modern throughout with huge windows to make the most of the stunning views. The morning visits from the peacocks who live at the farm across the way were a highlight of each day.
The staff are just as lovely as we remembered from last time and couldn't do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful country retreat and looking forward to booking our next visit.
Pro:
- Great home - after rebuilding in 2022(?).
- Contemporary, modern look. Nice furniture.
- got one day 12 fresh eggs from the farmer (owner?) next door
Cons:
Wish it was cleaner:
- Silicone in bathroom/shower starting to turn brownish.
- Glass room divider upstairs not clean
- Windows same
- Floor not really clean, you can't see it, but when you run a cloth over it, the cloth gets dirty immediately.
- Faucet in bad condition, kind of loose; no filter at the end, so water "spreads" out of the faucet.
Wauw dit was echt een super mooie en een toffe locatie. Zo fijn en top locatie om heerlijk te chillen en te genieten.
Vriendelijke eigenaren / beheerders ik ga niet te veel zeggen je moet het gewoon ervaren
We loved the nice and modern villa with its private pool. The center of Maroulas is two minutes walking distance from the villa. The villa was very clean and the owners so kind and friendly. The best part was all the animals close to the house and the calm environment. We hope to be able to return in the future and thanks for the wonderful time in Maroulas.
We booked the Finca for about a week with 2 friends. The communication with Richard was very easy and he made sure that we had everything we needed. We could even check in earlier.
The Villa itself just got renovated. The Pool and the Area around the Villa is beautiful. You definetely need a car but you can reach the beach and Rethymno in about 15 Minutes.
All in all it was an amazing holiday and i can only recommend booking this Finca for your holiday. We will come back for sure!
Just arrived home from our stay at Villa Sevos and wishing we were back. Lovely villa in a beautiful setting with the best views of the countryside and the sea. The staff are lovely, very friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday this is a perfect place to stay. There are a couple of tavernas in walking distance up a very steep hill but definitely worth the effort, especially Mylopetra who serve simple delicious Cretan food. A car is needed as the villa is quite a distance from the shops and the beach but this wouldn't put us off booking again and we're already looking at dates for next year đ
Pro: Sehr netter Kontakt vor Ort per WhattsApp, wunderschöne Villa, schöner sauberer Pool, sehr gut gelegen neben schönem Dorf mit guten Tavernen und zentral in Kreta, wunderschöne Aussicht, viel grĂŒne Pflanzen auf dem GrundstĂŒck, nette Nachbarn
Contra: harte und enge Betten, lauter Sicherungskasten (stört nachts), 2 TĂŒren schlieĂen nicht richtig, modriger Geruch in den KĂŒchenschrĂ€nken, KĂŒchenzubehör und KĂŒchenherd alt. Die schlechteste Erfahrung haben wir mit Agni Travel gemacht. Sie forderten von uns, eine zusĂ€tzliche Versicherung abzuschlieĂen versteckt in einem Online-Checkin. Wir haben das auf Anraten von Fewo nicht gemacht. Auf mehrere Mails von uns kamen nur stereotype Antworten und dann die Forderung einer ebenfalls nicht gerechtfertigten Kaution. Dieses Verhalten ist absolut unseriös. Wir wĂŒrden nie wieder ein Objekt von Agni Travel buchen.

Being history teachers it was a sublime experience to visit the medieval villages,the bay of Rethymnon, the Military Museum and the two watchtowers. The cobbled streets and the withwashed houses made us feel as if we travelled back in time. We also rented a car and visited neighboring villages. The villa owner was very helpful and made us feel like family.

From the balcony we had such a beautiful sea view. We took our time to enjoy it for it was there for free. the sea breeze felt so great. Fantastic villa, with the different colors that is used to spice up the house. The many flowers in the garden, the greenery around it, have unleashed a certain sentiment in me. It seemed like wanted to stay there forever.

We loved the villa and its location. Superb sea views, very quiet and lovely restaurants within walking distance. Ive never stayed in a villa which is cleaned, sheets and towels changed several times in a week. Amazing care and attention from the cleaning ladies. We will definitely use Agni Travel again

Excellent holiday for us, we are glad we booked it!
At the time of year we stayed we did not get to use the pool (a heated pool would be nice but before booking the villa we knew there was no heating option).

This is our second time to Crete and this villa was very comfortable for outings and exploration. And the local agent/owner was very friendly and helpful.

Our holiday was perfect! This villa was exactly as in the pictures on the website. My husband and I have rented villas several times before in Europe and the US, this was the first time using Agni Travel but most definitely not the last đ

We had a brilliant time and hope to return one day. We really appreciated the warm welcome, complete with fresh eggs, from the lovely neighbor.
The grounds are stunning and very well cared for. The pool is well maintained and delightful. The upper terrace has amazing views. All the outdoor furniture was much appreciated.
