Amazing views
Stunning location and views. Communication from property owners was excellent from start to finish. Property in its own remote setting but close enough to nearby villages and Rethymno is just 25 minutes drive. ideally situated for exploring this lovely part of Crete.

Lovely family holiday
We booked this villa for two families. We arrived late but that was no problem with the owners who left the key in the door. The property was spotless and lots of towels were provided. Views were gorgeous. Property was cleaned half way through our week long stay. Owner was always very quick to respond if we communicated with them. Local village had a couple of small supermarkets and a couple of tavernas. Many beaches within a short drive. You definitely need a car if you stay here. We had a great time - thank you Villa Despina.

Comfortable villa with breathtaking views.
We have just returned from 2 weeks in this delightful villa. The location is splendid, with breathtaking views of the coastline and the mountains. The villa is clean and comfortable. The family owners are warm, friendly and extremely helpful. The pool is well maintained during your stay, and beds and towels are changed twice a week. I would definitely return.

Perfect sea view
The property is located in a great location at the South Rethymnon with nice sea and mountain view. The hours of relaxation at the swimming pool were amazing and we generally enjoyed very much our stay in this property. We recommend it.

Lovely villa, beautiful views, very friendly and kind owners
We were 2 families of 9 people. The villa was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. It is located close to some beautiful beaches and great tavernas (including the owner's taverna). The owners were very kind people. They offered us their home grown fruits and olive oil and came regularly to clean the property and the pool. I would highly recommend this villa to other families as it is situated in a quiet location but close to other amenities such as beaches, supermarkets, tavernas etc. A car however is needed. A great holiday!
