Villa holiday rentals in Rethimnon

A Slice of Paradise – Five Stars All Around! We had the most incredible time staying at this large and stunning villa in the Loutraki/Chania area. The property is nothing short of breathtaking, with lush, beautifully maintained gardens and crystal-clear water right at your doorstep. The direct beach access was a dream—so easy and convenient—and we spent countless hours floating in the calm sea and enjoying the serene, quiet atmosphere. The views from every direction were spectacular, making it hard to leave the villa! The villa itself is exquisite, with a spacious, well-designed area for cooking and relaxing. It’s the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Demetrios, our host, went above and beyond, offering incredible hospitality and even surprising me with a birthday cake, which made our stay all the more special. If you’re looking for a tranquil, beautiful retreat this is the place!

Es war absolut perfekt. Wir hatten schon vor der Ankunft per What s app kontakt, so war es überhaupt kein Problem in die Unterkunft zu kommen. Das Haus ist ein Traum, vom Flughafen in 25 Minuten zu erreichen, die nächste Taverne ist 5 Minuten weg und sehr zu empfehlen. Alles Tip Top sauber, es wurde sogar einmal während unseres Aufenthaltes durchgewischt und neue Handtücher gabs auch. Es ist alles da was man braucht, sogar eine Grundausstattung an Lebensmittel, es wäre der erste Hunger gestillt. Es gibt absolut nichts negatives zu berichten, wir würden sehr gerne wieder kommen.

Beautiful villa and pool (the water was a lovely temperature, as we paid for it to be heated). Housekeeping half way through the week was really nice. Local places to eat were great and it was very easy getting taxis into town from the cafe at the top of the hill for around €12.

Absolutely amazing place. The view is breathtaking, you can’t get enough of it and there are two large terraces to enjoy it from. The swimming pool is a nice touch too, small but the same time big enough to cool down and sunbathe next to it if you don’t feel like going to the beach. Super easy and friendly interactions with Manos and the rest of the team. Warm welcome and attention all the way through the stay. There were a lot of little, but important details that we really appreciated, such as: bottled water, some juices and fruits that were waiting for us in the fridge, as well as some local snacks and olive oil. On my birthday, a lovely greeting card and a bottle of Ouzo appeared in our villa which was also an unexpected but an excellent gesture. Everyone was really friendly and we felt truly welcomed. Many thanks to all! Although it’s only 3.5 km away from The center of Plakias, I’d definitely recommend hiring a car, as the villa is up on the hill, hence the stunning view.

Atemberaubende Aussicht! Das Haus ist nagelneu, es entspricht genau den abgebildeten Bildern. Der Pool ist sehr groß & tagsüber gibt es einen perfekten Mix aus sonnigen und schattigen Plätzen. In der Nähe gibt es viele kleine Tavernen, man musste nie weit fahren. Ganz klare Empfehlung für diese Villa, sie ist perfekt & wir würden jederzeit liebend gerne wiederkommen!

The house has been fully redecorated to a high modern day standard. It's spacious and very private, also thanks to the walled inner garden with swimming pool, and possibilities to park two cars behind an electronically operated gate. The house is clean and the beds very comfortable. Also ideal when traveling with two couples of which one has children, because one bedroom has a separate front door that is accessible from the garden (under the roof top terrace). A very nice local restaurant and a supermarket are within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!

Heerlijke villa die onze verwachtingen volledig overtrof. We logeerden hier met 2 gezinnen (4 volwassenen en 4 kinderen). We werden ontvangen door een super enthousiaste host die alles duidelijk uitlegde en ons verwelkomde met enkele typische Griekse streekproducten. Het huis is voorzien van alle comfort. Grote slaapkamers met elks hun eigen badkamer én hammam. Ruime keuken voorzien van alle nodige keukentoestellen (inclusief prof. koffiemachine) De kers op de taart was de mooie buitenruimte met (verwarmd) zwembad, zithoek, eethoek, bbq en uitzicht op de baai van Agia Galini en omgeving. We verbleven hier aan het begin van de lente en we waren zeer blij met onze beslissing te opteren voor een huis waarbij het zwembad werd verwarmd. Vanuit deze locatie maakten we een uitstap naar Matala en het palmstrand van Preveli. We hadden misschien nog meer kunnen doen, maar kregen de kinderen niet uit het zwembad 😁. Voor iedereen die nog twijfelt: niet doen, gewoon boeken!

Good bits. The villa was outstanding, as described & the photo's don't lie! Pool is amazing as are the views. The villa & grounds spotlessly clean & spacious. Plenty of outdoor furniture. Nikos provided a lovely welcome pack, inc Oat milk as requested. He also gave us some good recommendations for ordering in (efoods app was great & better than trying to use the oven & utensils). The beds were very comfortable. We had a problem with the jacuzzi, but Nikos's father was there to sort it out within the hour! Can't fault the service or friendliness. We were a family party of 10 with an age range of 17 to 61. Not so good bits. Not enough plug sockets in the bedrooms & no window covering on the upstairs master bathroom. The cats! They drive you mad, they meow constantly & try to get indoors, you can't leave the doors open (problem when half the party love them & feed them!!! but the other half don't like cats). Taxi's expensive. Overall, would thoroughly recommend & return.

The perfect villas for a big group, we loved both and had the most relaxing time around them. Location is close to all the local beaches and only a 10 minute taxi to Chania. Evi the host was excellent throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed at all times.

Härligt ställe för ett större sällskap. Fyra sovrum med egna badrum och små terasser gav också möjlighet till privat tid. Lugnt läge med fantastisk utsikt. Flera restauranger och två välutrustade mataffärer på promenad avstånd. Köket hade bra utrustning, som lämpade sig för matlagning, både inomhus och ute i det fina uteköket. Den uppvärmda infinitypoolen bjöd till både simning och vattenaktiviteter. Härlig stor terass med solstolar, soffa och parasoll gav möjlighet till gemensamt chill. Också spelplanen lockade till sällskapsspel. Villans läge på brant sluttning ger möjlighet till träning. Rekommenderar att man hyr bil eller scooters för att ta sig till olika ställen. Värden fanns till hands och kunde nås på kort varsel. Rekommenderar Villa Eureka varmt och kommer gärna dit igen.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und alles war wunderbar! Der Pool war sauber und schön kühl! Auf Wünsche wurde sofort eingegangen und man ist nur 20 min von den tollsten Stränden entfernt! Da die Unterkunft abgelegen, aber nah an einer viel befahrenen Straße liegt, sollte man sich Oropax mitnehmen, wenn man mit geöffneten Fenstern sprich ohne Klimaanlage ( die alle einwandfrei funktionieren ) schlafen möchte und evtl empfindlich ist auf Lärm. Alles in allem war es ein wunderbares Haus mit allem was man braucht! Vielen Herzlichen Dank für alles :)

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and private villa with a truly spectacular ocean view. The perfect setup for our extended family (6 adults and 2 small children), offering plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The bedrooms were comfortable with en suite bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook at home. The kids especially loved the pool and all the toys available. We enjoyed local meals at Maxis Yard (a charming spot in the nearby village with pottery and homemade food) and Fisalida, which has a stunning ocean view. Both within walking distance. Grocery shopping was easy with both Lidl and the village shops close by. Our host went above and beyond—meeting us for check-in during Easter holiday and even doing grocery shopping for us beforehand as everything was closed. He surprised us with homemade dinner of delicious moussaka and Greek salad, which made us feel so welcomed. We left feeling relaxed and very tempted to return one day.

We stayed as a family of four for a week. The villa consisted a main floor with a modern, clean and well equipped kitchen, a comfortable sitting/dining room with lovely views over souda bay and towards chania. A large jacuzzi bath was also off the sitting area. The rest of this floor was three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a shower/ tub combo and the other a wetroom style. A further bedroom/ shower room was on the floor below via an outside staircase as well as a well equiped gym. The outside area was expansive and enough for our boys to run around. The villa also had a number of indoor and outdoor games for the boys to enjoy. But a lot of our time was spent in the heated pool! Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The villa was very clean, comfortable with stunning hilltop views. The location was close to the airport, local resturants and shops and we had food delivered to us a number of times. A special point was the kindness and helpfulness of our hosts, thank you!

Amazing stay! Views from the mountainside are incredible to wake up to every morning including sunrise and sunset. The view from the infinity pool was fantastic and had toys for children. The host Mr. George was always accommodating and even brought us eggs one morning :) would highly recommend

Stravos (villa owner) was an amazing host and very kind. Was super responsive on Whats'App and communicated very clearly to us. Gave us good recommendations and even allowed our group to stay a bit longer so they didn't have to store their luggage somewhere else. Would recommend others to stay here. We were honestly surprised at just how close the beach was and how easy it was to get around.

The owners were great always on hand and responded very quickly - they arranged car hire and food delivery for our arrival. Would highly recommend this property especially if you like it private - it’s a great location to travel around due to close proximity to main roads to explore along the coast or go down to the south of the island. Would recommend you hire a vehicle, there is a Lidl 5 mins away and the main town is just around 10 mins. This would be ideal for family with older children as there is a great pool and plenty of activities ie pool table / table tennis table. The property was extremely clean with plenty of towels and lovely basket with some fruit / wine on arrival - great hosts and property….

Wonderful villa in great location for family Holliday. Facilities were great and as described. The garden is beautiful and adds to the feeling of the outside space. Good shade and sun spots in the garden at all times of day. We had a lovely time exploring the local area as well as going further afield to explore Create to the full. Lots of lovely walks possible from the villa and the local beaches perfect for low key family beach safe for kids. The bedrooms were all lovely especially the master beadroom with beautiful balcony. Host was fantastic at communication and helped us with any questions we had responding promptly and efficiently to any difficulties. Would highly recommend.

The villa is a most beautiful place for a relaxed family vacation. Quiet, spacious and with all the amenities for a relaxed stay. The next town is nearby, only a few minutes away by car. The local support is excellent, very friendly, very responsive and alert. All in all, a very recommendable place.

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt in der Villa. Wenn man im Süden von Kreta Urlaub macht, muss man wissen das es nicht so arg touristisch ist wie im Norden. Für uns war es genau das was wir gesucht haben. Die Haushüterin war bei Fragen immer zur Stelle und stets sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie hatte einen tollen Tipp für einen Motorbootverleih. Das war ein grandioser Tag. Links und recht gibt es je eine Taverne. Beide mega gute Küche und sehr freundlich. Wir fanden die Taverne Galini einen ticken besser. Wir sind mit dem Mietwagen angereist. Anders geht es wahrscheinlich auch nicht. Am besten ist es wenn man bei Google Maps als Ziel Taverna Kioni eingibt. Das führt einen direkt zum Ziel. Vom Flughafen Chania haben wir 1:45 h gebraucht. Die Villa war wie beschrieben. Lage, Ausstattung und Betreuung durch Haushüterin und Nikos. Alles perfekt. Wir haben uns 10 Tage lang einfach nur erholen können. Ideal für Familien mit Kindern. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle.

Un grand merci, tout était parfait : le lieu, la vue, le calme, l’hôte, la cuisine, la literie, tout. Sincèrement la première fois qu’une expérience est impeccable du début à la fin avec 0 chose à redire. Merci 🇬🇷

The house is simply gorgeous. Our family had a wonderful Christmas holiday here. The host was very generous with items in the refrigerator and a well stocked kitchen. Lots of recommendations of places to eat in the area. Michael met us in the driveway upon arrival and showed us everything in the house, that was very kind. Especially loved access to the washer and dryer because we were traveling with kids. It was too cold to use the pool, but if you are here when it is warm, it would be such delight.

I can’t thank Antonio, Yiannis & the Sueno team for such a great stay. Nothing was too much to ask and they were all available to help throughout my short stay. The villa is stunning with lots of lovely touches such as robe, slippers, shampoo & conditioner and even a welcome hamper! Thanks again for a wonderful stay and for being amazing hosts.

Alex was an amazing host right from booking. He’s super friendly & reply’s quickly to any questions. We had the warmest welcome on check in & the property is beautiful, with gorgeous & peaceful surroundings. You have all the utensils & cutlery you need for cooking, Alex was always on hand if we needed any help with anything. I will 100% be going back & it’s not something I often do so that says a lot about Alex & his property. Highly highly recommend this place.

Our family had a wonderful time at the villa. Before we even got there, Chania Rentals were very helpful and answered all my questions. Artemis was there to greet us on arrival, despite the very late hour after our flight, and was happy to talk us through everything. We had a few small problems with the villa during our stay but Artemis was so prompt and helpful to come out straight away to sort everything. The stunning views from the villa, the peace and quiet, the gorgeous pool which we heated for the week (definitely worth the extra money in April as it made the pool warm enough to enjoy!), the beautiful decor...our family loved it all. Aquilla Villa will be our family's fondest memory of the holiday :-)!
