Beautiful spacious villa

We have a had a wonderful week in the villa, great facilities with everything you need. Good location and added bonus of a midweek clean and courtesy pass at Baja beach club. We will miss it and the visiting cats. Thank you Eleni and Etouri.

Beautiful stay at Villa Caneva

Just returned from our stay here. We were warmly welcomed by Eleni the owner who showed us around the stunning villa, the villa itself is beautifully renovated-rustic from the outside with the most gorgeous patio/eating areas and lovely inside with all mod cons and everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. I was slightly concerned about not having air con downstairs ( it is in all bedrooms) but honestly it’s not needed as the walls are so thick it keeps the area cool.We spent most of of time around the pool area which is set in beautiful gardens and has a great outdoor kitchen too. The villa is a short walk away from 3 Tavernas and we enjoyed several meals at all of them and highly recommend each one. Honestly this is the perfect place to just get away from it all and Crete is just so beautiful. Teens and adults all had a fab holiday and we will definitely come back. My daughter loved the 2 friendly “villa” cats who she named leni and Larry ☺️ They made her holiday. Don’t hesitate to book this villa ,it is exactly like the photos and the reviews say it all. 10/10 .

What a beautiful Villa.

We initially selected this villa purely on the basis of the photographs and description and it certainly did not disappoint! The place is fabulous, lovely grounds, great private pool, plenty of space to relax and eat outside, great BBQ and a lovely first floor balcony/terrace to sit in the evenings. Internally the villa is tastefully furnished, spacious and spotlessly clean. The owner, Elene, contacted us on a few occasions via email to make sure that everything was to our liking and to see if anything was required. The villa is equipped with everything you need and the housekeeper a pool maintenance man visit every three days. Just a gentle 10 minute stroll to the centre of Prines there are a couple of very friendly tavernas and Rethynmo is only a 15 minute drive away. All this made for a perfect holiday and we'll certainly be returning. Thank you Elene (and Etouri of course!) John & Mandy, Cheddar, England.

Wonderful Villa Caneva

Beautiful property in a great location... walking distance to a charming village, Prines, with excellent Taverna's, coffee shop, small grocery and even a pharmacy (they seem to be everywhere!). We enjoyed the pool...coming home in late afternoon and cooling down in the pool was a real pleasure. Property was very comfortable...nice beds, great air conditioning in each of the bedrooms, lots of outdoor seating and tables for eating...and a unique and beautiful restoration of a stone structure with spacious gardens. In addition, every time we returned we were greeted by two of the cutest little dogs (we worried the whole time about who fed them but they were obviously well cared for and happy). Recommend taking advantage of local walks especially evening walks through farms and village. We were enjoyed being greeted every morning by an array of roosters and sounds of farm animals. This is definitely a rural setting. We loved it and would return given the opportunity.

Wonderful family holiday

This cottage was a real find, the communication as mentioned before is extremely reassuring, both from the owner and the agent, we really felt confident from the moment we booked, The cottage itself is fantastic, spacious inside and so much space for is all outside, equipped with everything we required it ticked every box. The pool as mentioned is large and a superb feature with loungers around the side, you feel very secure in letting the children play around with the garden fenced and electric gated at the driveway entrance You do need a car if you're staying here, the cottage is very easy to find with signs for the villa when you enter Prines, the nearest shops are a few minutes drive away where you can get necessities, and 5-10 minutes drive is a supermarket to stock up, A perfect base for exploring this area of Crete, Rethymnon and lake kournas, Which is beautiful ! Having stayed in Crete several times before, the vote from us and the children is that this cottage is now definitely a must for booking for next year ! A wonderful stay

Perfekt ab der ersten Minute

Von der Buchung bis zur Ankunft war die Kommunikation mit der Agentur Etouri perfekt. Jede Anfrage wurde sofort zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit beantwortet. Ich bin Inhaber eines Reisebüros und so ein professionelles Service ist sehr erfreulich und herausragend! In der Villa Caneva angekommen wurden wir herzlich empfangen und Frau Eleni zeigte uns das Haus. Dieses wunderschöne Haus ist eine der bezauberndsten Unterkünfte, die wir bisher bewohnt haben. Charme, Komfort und Ausstattung, Sauberkeit und viel Liebe zum Detail ... es fehlte uns an nichts! Die Reinigung, das Poolservice und das Service während unseres Aufenthalts funktionierte ohne Störung. Wir wurden sogar einmal mit einer Süssen Überraschung sehr verwöhnt! Wir wünschen den Besitzern auch in Zukunft viele Gäste, die mit diesem wunderbaren Haus sorgsam umgehen! Irgendwann kommen wir bestimmt wieder. DANKE!!! Hildegard, Gery, Barbara und Joe

Tout simplement parfait!

De merveilleuses vacances pour nous et les enfants dans une villa très confortable et rénovée avec beaucoup de goût. Un vrai paradis (les photos ne mentent pas)! Et idéalement située (10 min en voiture du centre de Rethymnon et de la route principale de l'île). Merci tout particulièrement à l'agence Etouri pour sa communication rapide et claire (en ces temps incertains de COVID -19) et sa disponibilité ; ce qui nous a permis de passer de magnifiques vacances !

Sehr schönes und sauberes Cottage House

Wir haben das Haus angetroffen wie im Inserat beschrieben. Es ist innen und aussen wunderschön , sehr sauber und es fehlt an nichts. Für uns war die Lage ideal. Mit dem Auto ist man nach ein paar Dörfern auf der grossen Küstenstrasse und von dort schnell am Strand, in Rethymno usw. Zu Fuss ist man in knapp 10 Minuten im Dorf, wo es kleine Einkaufsläden und feinde Tavernen gibt. (Giannikos Taverna, oder auch das Veranta haben sehr gut gefallen.) Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir können das Haus benekenlos weiterempfehlen. Alles in allem hat es uns sehr gefallen und wir können das Haus

Traumurlaub in der Villa Caneva

Liebes Team, wir haben unseren Urlaub mit 4 Erwachsenen in der Villa Caneva verbracht. Es war vom ersten Moment an Wohlfühlen und Erholung pur. Es hat alles geklappt, vom späten Check in, über Anfragen und Wünsche bei der Agentur Etouri, oder den Besitzern selbst, bis zum Ceck out. Wir hatten vorab aufgrund unserer späten Anreise, darum gebeten uns ein paar Lebensmittel und Getränke in den Kühlschrank zu legen. Unser Wunsch wurde problemlos erfüllt und nur der Kaufpreis der Ware berechnet. Die Agentur Etouri war sehr engagiert und hat sich regelmässig nach unserem Wohlergehen, oder Wünschen erkundigt. Anfragen zu Veranstaltungen, oder Ausflügen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Die Villa selbst war für uns der absolute Knaller und die Lage in ländlicher Umgebung fernab des Touristenwuhlings hat uns sehr sehr gut gefallen. Wir sagen ganz herzlich Danke für diesen rundum Sorglos Urlaub

Wieder daheim ? Back at (secret) home?

Wir sind nach 8 Monaten wieder nach Kreata zurückgekehrt und haben 10 fantastische Tage verbracht und das hatte vor allem mit dem gut ausgestatteten und wundervollen Haus zu tun. Zum Haus gehört auch die Besitzerin Eleni, die für alles sorgt, was man für einen unbeschwerten Urlaub braucht. Über die Besitzerin und das betreuende Etouri-Vacation-Rental-Management können vom Mietwagen bis zum Tauchlehrgang alle möglichen Events gebucht werden. Alles geht undkompliziert und unaufdringlich. Die Lage ist ideal. Südküste und Westkreta sind schnell erreichbar. Der Sandstrand westlich von Rethymnon ist in weniger als 10 Minuten erreichbar. Im Ort gibt es eine Ansammlung von sehr guten Tavernen, die zu den Besten der Region gehören. Die Unterkunft ist so wie beschrieben, die Einrichtung ist neu und geschmackvoll, die Anlage top-gepflegt. Die Besitzerin pflegt die Anlage eigenständig. Alle notwendigen elektrischen Geräte (....und noch mehr) sind vorhanden. Wir können die Region, den Ort, sowie die Unterkunft und das Etouri-Team uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
