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.
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.
Roula und ihr Mann haben uns herzlich empfangen. Haus und GrundstĂŒck sind wie beschrieben. Der Blick vom Haus ist einfach nur toll. Der Pool war sehr sauber. Wir waren im April dort und waren tĂ€glich im Pool. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt. Wir können das Haus weiterempfehlen.
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.
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!! đ»
Lovely well equipped villa. You do need a car but where it is the views are beautiful. Owners very helpful /polite. The villa was very clean and had everything you need for a great holiday.
Das Haus ist genauso wie beschrieben und alles war sehr sauber. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön! Der Pool wurde jeden zweiten Tag sauber gemacht. Auch der Garten ist sehr gepflegt. Der Kontakt zu Niko und seiner Frau war unkompliziert und sehr freundlich.
Wir haben hier viele schöne Stunden verbracht!
Nikos is a very nice host, he take very good care of the villa. The house is clean and confortable. We suggest two good restaurants, Oasis , walkable to the nearby village and Armos Bio Farm, about 10 minutes car ride . 5 stars to Nikos!
From planning our stay with questions to the owners, to arrival at the beautiful villa with its wecoming pool and the raki in the fridge, to suggestins and advice from Rozla and Nikos, nothing could have been better. A big thank you.
A wonderful home, very comfortable with stunning views! Nikos and his wife are so kind and took great care of us during our stay. We would happily return here if in Crete again. Thank you
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.
We met Roula and Nikos at the meeting point and they showed us the way to the villa. We had a very warm welcome at the villa with wine, Raki and a bowl of cherries! The house was beautiful and very clean. Nikos came every other day to water the plants and clean the pool. It was really refreshing to dive into the pool after a day of strolling through Rethymnon. The villa is located in a central place, Rethymnon is just a 10/15 min drive. A car is necessary. We had a lovely stay and I would recommend this villa to everyone who loves a quiet and peaceful villa with a very nice, clean pool and an amazing panoramic view (every morning I watched the sunrise, beautiful!).
Hello, my name is Roula. I live with my husband and our two children in Rethymno city. I love music, swimming, reading books, walking in nature and watching movies. Me and Nikos will be happy to answer your questions and have you as our guests in our house.
