FANTASTIC LUXURY VILLA
We are a family of five adults and we had an amazing time staying at this Villa. It's located in a hilly and quiet location, with fabulous views of the sea in the distance and surrounding hills. The beach is a ten minute drive away. The property has everything you could want away from home, pool, lovely modern very good quality internal furniture, washing machine (with powder provided), dishwasher (with tablets provided), two fabulous outdoor seating areas, air con in all rooms, DVD player, hairdryer, microwave etc. We had cleaners every four days who cleaned to a very high standard. The owners were extremely helpful - they even replaced the satalite dish when we had difficulty in receiving english channels on the TV. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They gave us restaurant recommendations together with sat nav links so we could find them easily. The Greek hospitality was very generous in every restaurant we visited. The Villa is a very short drive from Rythmenol where there is huge range of restaurants, shops and bars. You definately need a car if you stay in this Villa. We would definately return to this wonderful place.

It is exactly as you see in the pictures, with lots of thoughtful touches you wouldn't expect.
If you are considering this villa, consider no more it's amazing. Just book it but book a car as well as its very remote. Perfect if you want a peaceful holiday but not if you want nightlife you can walk to. The owners have thought of everything with lots of lovely personal touches you wouldn't expect; fresh flowers, welcome basket, laundry products, extra toiletries, everything you have at home is here, the only thing missing was champagne glasses! The owners were there to welcome us and gave us a leaving gift too! I would recommend this place to anyone who is happy to drive during their holiday. Can't fault it at all.

An exceptionally special family holiday
We stayed at the villa in September with three young children and it couldn't have been more fantastic. Everything was taken care of and we needed to ask for nothing. The villa was simply beautiful and owners so happy to help with the smallest of requests. The kids loved the pool area and garden. Wouldn't hesitate returning. Thank you for a beautiful family holiday.

Amazing villa and wonderful hosts
Villa was gorgeous. Immaculately presented and really high quality. Host was really welcoming and helpful. Wonderful holiday. Our only issue was how close you felt to the sister villa. We had quite noisy neighbours and when they played music you felt like it was being played in your own villa. Not the most relaxing at times.

Beautiful private Villa
The Villa is new ,clean, beautifully decorated in a modern style. The pool is not big yet lovely with a nice deck and great siting corners . One can see that Vasia ,the owner, paid a lot of attention to all details. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed .Vasia is a great host. Always available to any question ,very warm and welcoming. The house is absolutely gorgeous with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The location is in a small village close to Rythnemo which is a lovely city with excellent restaurants. Some beaches are close by. Great barbecue area. We cooked some tasty meals. We hope to come again and we shall recommend this place to all our friends. Thank you Vasia!

This villa was everything that we expected and more. Perfect villa, lovely location, lovely owners!
I would rate this villa 5 star. Fantastic location as one of two villas. We were met by the owners who were lovely people, could not be more helpful. The villa itself is perfect - decor is first class, very modern and spotless. The garden and pool area is outstanding, completely private with plenty of space and a lovely large lawn area. Outdoor dining space is great with outdoor BBQ and fire area too. Location is great, very quiet, but close to beaches and main town. The local supermarket is well stocked and reasonable too, with Chemist, Butcher and local tavernas all within 2-3 minutes drive. I would highly recommend this villa!! A beautiful villa in a lovely quiet location, but within easy reach of all amenities that you would want.

We were very happy with the standard of the villa and it's cleanliness. Everyone in your company went out of their way to make sure our stay in Crete was an enjoyable one. We do not normally go the the same place more than once, but this villa is so nice we would not have any worries about coming back, and will certainly recommend to friends.

Beautiful Villa in a lovely location
We had a wonderful time at Aria Villas, the booking process was very smooth, communication was great and the Villas lived up to the photos on the website. The owners were very welcoming and accommodating and we had a fabulous time. I would thoroughly recommend Aria Villas to anyone wanting a nice relaxed family holiday in a beautiful location. Great for basing yourself to go exploring around the island of Crete, but an equally good location for staying put. The nearby town of Rethymnon has plenty of beaches and restaurants to keep you busy for a week.

Nice property and service by the agency. Surprisingly we had to give a cash deposit at the check in (maybe because we were a group of young adults). We had a nice stay at the villa without any further complications. We got our deposit fully back.

Traumferienhaus auf Kreta
Die Villa Vasia bietet allen Komfort für einen perfekten Urlaub. Das Haus bietet drei etwa gleich große Schlafzimmer, zwei davon mit direktem Zugang zur Dachterasse. Alle Zimmer ausgestattet mit Doppelbetten, Bettwäsche, Handtücher und Bademäntel. Das Bad mit mit einer Duschwanne, Toilette und Doppelwaschbecken, Fön und Dusch und Badeutensilien bestückt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich das zweite Bad mit ebenerdiger Dusche, Toilette und Waschbecken. Durch das große Wohnzimmer mit zahlreichen Sitzmöglichkeitenund die voll ausgestattete Küche gelangt man in den nicht einsehbaren Garten mit Swimmingpool und Aussendusche. Gleich daneben ist die Außenküche mit Holzkohlengrill und gemauertem Ofen. Neben der perfekten Ausstattung für Paare oder Familien ist die Betreuungdurch die "Agentur" besonders zu erwähnen. Valia und ihr Mann Manolis sorgen sich persönlich um das Wohl ihrer Gäste. Ein gut gefüllter Kühlschrank für das notwendigste nach der Anreise stehen genauso bereit wie der Raki als Willkommens Gruß. Jede kleine Bitte wird umgehend erfüllt, jedes Problemchen aus dem Weg geräumt. Im Hintergrund sorgt ihr Papa für einen blitzblanken Pool und wenn nötig Reparaturen. Geputzt wir zwei bis drei mal wöchentlich inkl. Wechsel der Strand und Badetücher. Manolis Empfehlung für eine Gratis Massage (ca. 20 min) bei Maria sind wir gerne gefolgt und haben noch mehrere weitere Massagen bei Maria gebucht, eine besondere Wohltat. Ebenso empfehlen können wir die Autovermietung Best Cars mit der Valia zusammenarbeitet: Service und Preis/Leistung stimmen hier. Wir hatten während des ganzen Aufenthalts ein Auto zur Verfügung. Die Lage des Hauses ist ca. 5km vom Strand (Platanes) entfernt. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig, abgeschlossen mit zwei weiteren Villen im Nichts, ein Auto ist hier ein muß. Die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit bietet Platanes mit Lidl und einem gut sortiertem lokalen Supermarkt. Bummeln kann man dort oder schöner in Rethymnon. Für ein Abendessen in der kleinen Taverne können wir Pagonas Place empfehlen, die größere Gesellschaft findet Platz im Zisis. Noch einmal herzlichen Dank an Valia und Manolis!

Home away from home
Wir verbrachten zwei Wochen in der modernen Ferienvilla in Rethymnon. Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt und uns hat es an nichts gemangelt. Begrüsst wurden wir ganz landestypisch mit Raki und anderen griechischen Spezialitäten, sodass wir uns gleich sehr willkommen gefühlt haben. Der Pool hat eine super Grösse und im Garten gab es einige Spielmöglichkeiten für unser Kleinkind. Auch der BBQ-Bereich, welcher sehr gemütlich ist, wurde häufig von uns genutzt. Das einzige was gestört hat, war das nächtlich permanente Hundegebell und Katzengeschrei aus dem Dorf. Zum Strand sind es mit dem Auto 10 Minuten und ins Zentrum von Rethymon 20 Minuten. Weiterhin positiv zu erwähnen ist, dass der Pool jeden Morgen gereinigt wird und auch das Housekeeping alle vier Tage das Haus blitzblank putzt. Es waren tolle zwei Wochen, denen wir sehr hinterhertrauern...
