We were perfectly welcomed (Greek hospitality is unrivaled :-)). Michail is always available if needed. Thank you for the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, eggs...we were spoiled!
The house is clean and the bedding is perfect (which is quite rare in Crete). We had all the comfort promised in the description. The view is magnificent and it's very quiet (no barking dog :-)). You are 20 minutes from Margarites (a village which specializes in pottery). I recommend the Taverna Giannousakis in this small village (a delight). You are 9 minutes from the Akadi monastery (to do!) and 30 minutes from the big city of Rethymnon (very pleasant). A car is obviously essential.
Absolutely wonderful villa in an absolutely wonderful environment with absolutely wonderful hosts!
We have spent a most wonderful and marvelous week in the Villa Sunset. The villa is even nicer than on the website, perfectly equiped with everything one might need. The interior is very comfortable and one can feel that the owners Michalis and his family are constantly and actively thinking about how to make the visitors' stay the most agreeable.
The villa is set in a vast garden, together with a second villa which is far enough away to garantee complete independence. Altogether the place is set in the beautiful landscape surrounded by olive trees and the soft rolling hills with an unlimited view to the sea. A most relaxing environment ( a car is recommended), with beautiful sunsets to admire in the evening. The place is ideally located to explore different regions of Crete.
What made our stay really unforgetable and so special is the hospitality and the generosity of the hosts Michalis and Zambia and family. This was really such a unique experience! Such a warm welcome, with a delicous meal to help us out on our (late) arrival, and an invitation to a wonderful shared evening meal during our stay. Michalis and Zambia and family, your welcome really touched our hearts and we hope to be back soon!
Michalis is an incredibly kind and welcoming host. When we arrived late on the first day, a home-cooked dinner awaited us in our kitchen! He also brought us cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs and olive oil and was quick to respond to all our queries. The house is beautiful, cleverly designed with an amazing view and terraces for every part of the day.
Ich war vor zwei Jahren schon mal hier - seit dem haben sich sogar ein paar Stellen verbessert und es ist so schön wie beim letzten Mal :)
Michail war wieder sehr herzlich und gut erreichbar, alles war sauber und gepflegt. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in 15 Minuten Autofahrt zu erreichen, zu den StrĂ€nden an der SĂŒdkĂŒste fahren wir etwas ĂŒber ein Stunde - dafĂŒr haben wir dort aber auch absolut unsere Ruhe gehabt.
Wir kommen gerne wieder :)
Wir haben uns sehr wohl im Sunset Haus gefĂŒhlt. Der Gastgeber war sehr herzlich. Wenn wir wieder einmal nach Kreta fliegen, ist das Sunset Haus unsere erste Wahl.
We had a wonderful week with the best host you could wish for. very good communication!! We were welcomed with vegetables, raki, wine and greek dumplings and there was already water in the fridge. The view is breathtaking and everything is even more beautiful than in the pictures! We will be back definitely. Thank you for everything!
