Offering garden views, Alagni Cretan Resort in Alagni features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a garden, a bar and a shared lounge. There is a private entrance at the villa for the convenience of those who stay. The villa offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Upon arrival, Sophia treated us to some homemade lemonade, then George helped grab our bags and showed us to our beautiful villa; Large and comfortable with a great deck overlooking the countryside. Toiletries & slippers in bathroom were appreciated. We elected to have dinner made for us the first night and it was delicious and plentiful! Then shared some raki with our hosts. Breakfast the next morning was excellent….enough that we didn’t need lunch any of the days during our stay. Read for a couple of hours poolside each day- quiet & relaxing. George and Sophia are warm, generous, hardworking and fun to converse with. They did everything possible to show us and tell us about the area and culture. We started out as guests but due to our interaction over the few days, we left as friends. Thank you so much for welcoming us to your villas and treating us as special guests. Your friendship was a highlight of our trip!

Located in Rethymno Town, 200 metres from Koumbes Beach and 1.7 km from Archaeological Museum of Rethymno, Volakas Beachfront Suites provides air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. This villa features a pool with a view and a garden. Museum of Ancient Eleftherna is 27 km away and Psiloritis National Park is 47 km from the villa. The accommodation was lovely and very comfortable for our family of five. The most amazing feature though was having the beach on our doorstep. We enjoyed a couple of great BBQs with the sun setting and a beautiful view of Rethymno fortress. Good restaurants close by and also in the town which was a 10-15 minute walk.

This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The villa has private entrance. We stayed in the villa with two adults and our 1.5-year-old daughter. The villa was very clean, spacious, and perfectly located. It’s just a two-minute walk from a beautiful beach with three excellent tavernas. The pool was ideal for a relaxing moment. The owner was also incredibly friendly and helpful.

A microwave, a toaster and fridge are also provided, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the villa complex, all units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The private pool and ocean views are wonderful! The house itself is very clean and modern. We loved having A/C in the bedrooms and living room. The hospitality from the hosts was fantastic . They gave us home-baked muffins, wine and olive oil. They did offer to clean during the middle of our weeklong stay but we didn’t find that necessary. They also provided clean bath towels and extra garbage bags. We asked for a late check out on our last day which they readily obliged. I would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting. Crete itself is wonderful and so is this villa.
