Everything was perfect, the location, the accomodation, the cleanliness, the facilities and the staff. Everything you need is nearby and although we had a car you didn’t necessarily need one. Plenty of restaurants, shops and supermarkets in the area. Beach is well maintained and lovely little beach/snack bar. Couldn’t ask for more. Will definately recommend and rebook. The hotel next door is also worth checking out. We had a lovely breakfast one morning and dinner one evening. Top quality but very relaxed. 5 stars all round. Maybe a couple of loungers on the top terrace. ##### Samantha ### 8/10 Good #### Georg H. Oct 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Sehr schöne Ferienvlla direkt am Strand Leider liegt neben Villa 1 direkt ein Hotel. Da soll jetzt ein Sichtschutz gebaut werden damit man von der höher gelegenen Terrasse nicht direkt in den Privatbereich schauen kann. ansonsten alles super und freundlich. Gute Restaurants zum Abendessen direkt in der Umgebung. ##### Georg H. Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Anke T. Aug 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Villa 1 am Strand von Rethymno , kein Auto nötig Die Villen 1 + 2 sind direkt in erster Reihe zum Meer gelegen und haben die schönste Aussicht+Lage. Fussläufig zu Restaurants, Bars und Supermärkten und insges. ruhig ist die ges. Anlage. Leider wird nicht erwähnt, das an die Villa 1 ein Hotel angebaut wurde vor drei Jahren. Alle Fotos zeigen die neuerbauten Villen bevor das Hotel da war! Von den Hotelterrassen blicken oft Gäste neugierig auf die Terrassen u den Pool der Villa. Die obere Terrasse, von wo man einen wunderbaren unverbauten Blick auf das Meer hat, grenzt direkt an die Bar des Hotels nebenan. Schlafen mit offener Terrassentüre und ohne zugezogene Vorhänge ist nur für Leute geeignet, welche sich nicht durch Dauerbeschallung (war nicht super laut) sowie die Beleuchtung des Hotel, (die die untere und obere Terrasse gut erhellt) und neugierige Hotelgäste, gestört fühlen. Wer privacy möchte, muss eher die Villa 2 buchen. Giorgos betreut alle Gäste und Villen super gut, ist total nett u. hilfsbereit u. spricht fließend deutsch u. ist ständig vor Ort. Unsere kaputte Kaffeemaschine wurde innerhalb 30Min durch eine nagelneue ersetzt. Absolutes weiteres Plus: es gibt einen täglichen Putzservice für die Villen, der im Preis enthalten ist. Wir können die Anlage der "Blue Oyster Villas" auf Kreta empfehlen. ##### Anke T. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### martin o. Aug 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location; nice accommodations My family and I stayed here for one week. House is spacious with excellent views of the beach (we had villa 1 with direct view of the sea). Fantastic location for walking to restaurants, stores, and long walks on the beach. Bedrooms and beds very comfortable. Good have better bathrooms (the hardware and cabinets in not the greatest of shape) and kitchen sink was not functional. Management was VERY accommodating and responsive. Impressed with their professionalism. ##### martin o. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald D. Jul 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Toller Urlaub Das Haus liegt ruhig gelegen direkt am Strand, der Pool ist perfekt und in wenigen Minuten ist man „im Ort“, der zwar nicht viel zu bieten hat, aber in dem man jeden Abend lecker und günstig essen kann. Wir sind aber auch öfter mit dem auswärts ein paar KM gefahren, es gibt eine Menge in näherer Umgebung. Das Haus ist super in Schuss und es war ein toller Urlaub. Besonders die „gute Fee“ Geourgios (deutschsprachig) ist immer in der Nähe, wenn was gebaucht wird. Trotzdem gab es ein paar kleine Kritikpunkte: - direkt an Villa 1 ist ein Hotel angebaut, auf SZ-Höhe ist die Bar / Lounge. Das ist auf den Bildern nicht zu erkennen. In der Hochsaison kann das sicherlich laut werden, so war es ok. Die Bilder sollten da fairerweise mal aktualisiert werden - eine Terrassentür ließ sich nicht abschließen - die Spülmaschine hat das Geschirr nicht sauber bekommen (das war wirklich nervig) - ab Nachmittag am Pool keine Beschattung mehr möglich (und wir haben eine sehr heiße Woche erwischt) Insgesamt aber wirklich super, wir kommen wieder :) ##### Donald D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruxandra Jun 9, 2021 #### Nice villa, comfortable and cozy The pool, the location (close to Rethymno, restaurants and the beach), the ping pong table :) You could provide some basic stuff (some detergent, washing cloth etc), as we had to buy absolutely everything, we did not find anything in the villa except toilet paper. Also, the host promised to visit with some travel info and he never did.. we managed, but this was not in line with the usual hospitality we were used to in Greece.. The door of the bedroom downstairs did not close (you should fix it) ##### Ruxandra ### 10/10 Excellent #### Klaus M.

Nov 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice villa, pool, perfect location. Villa and location as described. Villa clean and comfortable, well equipped. Very pleasant staff, Meanwhile there is a building(hotel) at the right side of the villa, but it wasn't distracting at all. The access road to the complex is at times very(!) narrow. ##### Martin A. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa E.
