The pool was lovely too although there was a dust storm while we were there which meant we couldn’t use it for a few days. We really liked the play area and ping pong table.

The staff has extra ordinary good service and was very helpful and flexible.

The villa was fabulous- 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms made everything effortless. The pool was even better- plenty of room for people to play together or spend time alone. Lina prepared a Cretan feast for us all- 15- for my birthday- and helped me plan an excursion to Knossos and an amazing dinner recommendation in Rethymno- she gave individual recommendations and local tips and made sure everyone had what they needed in the Villa and beyond.

The villa was perfect for our group, with enough indoor and outdoor space for all of us to enjoy the trip. The pool is a great size and having an adjoining children's pool was perfect for the two under 3s on the trip.The location was great to explore Rethmyno and the surrounding areas whilst also being secluded enough to enjoy the stunning view. Lina the property manager (and her team) were fantastic, extremely helpful and responsive on all fronts. Lina provided us with 3 evening meals during our stay which were excellent, the food was restaurant quality but with the authentic home cooked feel/taste. We would absolutely recommend the villa (and Lina) to anyone looking for a villa holiday in Greece. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annika K.

Lina (property manager) was very accommodating and a good communicator. She made sure all of our needs were taken care of and made us all a delicious home cooked meal on our last night for a very reasonable sum. The property itself is very spacious with a great location convenient to Rethymno & the main east/west highway. The view of the ocean & city is fantastic from the property, and the pictures do not quite do justice to how great the scenery is. ##### Andrew M.

The villa was stunning with incredible views and had excellent facilities to keep the whole family entertained. Lina (the property manager) was incredibly attentive, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend making use of the private chef which involves an amazing selection of home cooked Cretan dishes. We would recommend hiring a car for travelling around the island; there is a coffee shop and restaurant in walking distance, but you will need a car if you want to travel further afield. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend to any family/friends group. Thank you to Lina and team for making our stay very special. ##### Aaron T.

The accommodation was fantastic, the staff were wonderful and the manager Lina could not have been more attentive, she made us feel at home immediately, nothing was to much trouble, on the last day she cooked us a wonderful evening meal. There was plenty for the kids to do, swings ,slide, roundabout and a huge swimming pool with an area for the youngest to play in. Would we go again and the answer is a BIG YES from everyone. ##### Chris R. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BERNARD R.

You absolutely need a car to go around as the surroundings are quite poor unfortunately. Lina is really charming and the morning breakfast she prepares every morning is really great. Above all, Lina and her husband could also organise a Greek barbecue dinner just for us that was absolutely great that we definitely recommend : it’s like private restaurant at home, in front of the sea ! Thanks for everything we had a wonderful time in the villa Pasifai we will certainly be back !!! ##### BERNARD R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy B.

Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Lina and her staff could not be more helpful, arranging taxis when we needed and always on hand for any other questions we had. We had a couple of BBQ's whilst there and not expecting it, but the coals etc. from the previous evening were all cleared for us. The breakfast each day was a bonus, if a bit the same each day with a couple of extra choices. Unfortunately we didn't try the evening meal offered but will do so if we visit again. Nothing to stop us coming back gain should the opportunity arrive and we have enough people to fill the place! Thanks again ##### Andy B.

The villa was absolutely perfect, there was a second kitchen upstairs which was very useful with a second washing machine too! The area was very safe for the grandchildren and they absolutely loved the play area and equipment. Also having the children's section of the swimming pool was ideal. We used the barbecue which was really good including a sink and worktop next to it. Best of all was the Property Manager Lina. She was just so helpful contacting us before we arrived and whilst we were there. The breakfast each morning was such a nice touch and very delicious. Lina arranged for a masseur to come to the villa for four of our party, which they liked and found so relaxing We really enjoyed the chef evening, absolutely fantastic and such good value. Lina is a wonderful cook so much so we booked another evening, the food was just amazing. You do need a small car to go to nearby Lidl and some trips to Rethymo, which is really nice. Although taxis are really reasonable and easy to arrange. Would thoroughly recommend this villa and we would like to return. ##### HILARY D.

Absolute perfection for myself and 14 members of my family. We were a large group of 13 adults and 2 children ages between 71 and 2 years. The villa is immaculately clean, well equipped, lots of space, beautiful pool and area, fantastic views and generally just a great place to spend time with your family or friends. The pool is large and the pool area is comfortable with lots of beds and all kept very clean. The highlight of our holiday was our fantastic Villa host, Lina. She was completely accommodating and helpful from the point that we booked. She was there to greet us on arrival so warm and welcoming but also left us to enjoy our holiday in peace. She was never far away if we needed anything, taxi, details etc Lina cooked for us on 3 evenings and we honestly wish we had arranged this for every night. It honestly was amazing. Everything fresh, tasty and authentically Cretan. The ingredients were of excellent quality and there always enough left over from dinner for lunch the next day. Lina’s husband made us a birthday cake for my brother’s birthday which was really delicious. My particular favourites were the Moussaka and Mille Feuille. We will definitely return here and wouldn’t even look at another villa for our next visit to Crete. Thank you Lina and team - we are missing Pasifai already ##### Charlotte B.

I am not sure where to start. The Villa was big, with enough space for all 12 of us and room to spare. It had everything we needed and if it didn’t the staff was there to help. The view was amazing. The pool was big. Plenty of chairs and tables for everyone. Breakfast was great. They changed it up a bit each day and if we needed something different they made sure we got it. Lina was checking in every day to make sure we had everything. We felt like we had our own concierge. She was helping us with food orders, Taxi, covid tests, trying to get us a boat etc. So many questions we had and she was always happy to help. We had a health scare with our daughter where she needed to see a doctor and ended up in the hospital for a few hours. Lina kept checking up on us every half hour or so. We ended up back at the villa at 2 am. She calmed my nerves since being in a hospital in a different country did make me very nervous. She even checked up on her, after we left the Villa, to make sure the antibiotics they gave her, worked. Can’t say enough good things about it. I am sure you’ll love it! ##### vicki c.

Grâce à de bonnes communications avec Nikos puis Lina nous avons eu tout ce que nous voulions. Villa très grande et spacieuse. Nous étions 15 personnes. De grands espaces pour que les enfants puissent profiter. Petit déjeuner royal le matin. Juste un petit moins au niveau de la piscine pas chauffé. Ce serait donc juste une petite suggestion de notre part. Sinon tout le reste parfait. Merci à Lina en particulier. ##### Alexis H. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timo K.

Wir waren mit 14 Personen (9 Erwachsenen und 5 Kinder) in der Unterkunft. Bei Ankunft war alles sauber und aufgeräumt. Das Außengelände und der Wohnbereich sind gepflegt und weitläufig. Die Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind dagegen teils sehr kompakt, sodass etwas improvisiert werden musste. Der Spielplatz und der Pool waren für die Kinder perfekt. Lediglich ein kleiner Buddelkasten wurde von der Jüngsten vermisst. Die Betreuung durch Lina war sehr gut. Sie stand uns jeden Tag für Fragen zur Verfügung und hat sogar die Reperatur unseres platten Autoreifen für uns in Landessprache geregelt. Herzlichen Dank nochmals dafür! Wir empfehlen die Villa und Lina klar weiter. Service uns Außengelände sind wirklich mega. Ein Mietwagen ist zu empfehlen, da die Villen leider nicht direkt mit dem Bus angefahren werden und man zu Fuß auch eher schlecht wegkommt. ##### Timo K.

Lina und ihr Team waren zu jeder Zeit für uns da und sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Auch den Kindern hat es super gefallen. Die Ausstattung in der Villa und im Außenbereich lässt keinen Wunsch offen. Wir wurden auf Wunsch auch zwei Mal bekocht. Ich habe auf Kreta nicht besser gegessen. Beim Frühstück, das jeden Morgen pünktlich um 9 Uhr gebracht wurde, ist für jeden etwas dabei. Ich würde empfehlen immer mal wieder was anderes auszuprobieren, so behält man die Abwechslung dabei. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt und die Gastfreundschaft. ##### Melanie S. Stayed 12 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marnie E.

Our holiday was 15 months in the making and during that time we had lots of different questions we needed the answers to. Lina was so super responsive, knowledgeable and kind in her responses, she was patient too. We loved the villa, especially the outside space. The pool is huge, the amenities spot on, plenty of sunbeds, outdoor seating and enough table space to dine comfortably. We chose to have two dinners cooked for us, one on our arrival day and one midweek. The food was beautifully cooked, you could tell it was lovingly prepared by the way it was presented. There was plenty for all and even some for lunch the next day-amazing. We're so glad we booked the dinners, a real treat. Breakfast every day-wow, such a great way to start the day. Shopping, preparation, cooking and clearing up after 15 is time consuming - a massive bonus to have breakfast delivered. Lina called us taxis when we needed them, be aware that taxis to 'the square' were on average €15 which was more than we anticipated. In hindsight, we probably should've hired cars. Airport transfers were arranged for us by Lina and the driver was Fab too. We experienced many of the local restaurants, which we enjoyed immensely. From our youngest to the oldest and every age in between, we had a blast. Thank you Lina, we hope to see you again. ##### Marnie E.
