About this house rental
Villa Sifina
Enjoy your vacation on the Island of the Gods in this fantastic villa!
We look after our villa ourselves and ensure that it is always well maintained.
The villa is equipped with back-friendly mattresses.
There are new windows with fly screens throughout the house and the bedrooms also have shutters. The pool is equipped with stairs and tiled with light mosaic tiles.
This stone house, built in a traditional style, is located on the outskirts of the old picturesque village of Prines, approx. 5 km from the town of Rethymnon. It is located on a plot of approximately 500 m² with wonderful views of the sea and the White Mountains. Villa Sifina has a living space of approx. 80 m² and is suitable for 4-5 people (5th person on sofa or extra bed).
The villa has been furnished with great attention to detail and guarantees a high level of living comfort. All rooms are equipped with wooden beamed ceilings and some stone pictures and stone niches are integrated into the walls.
On the ground floor you will find a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee machine and kettle, which is separated from the living room by an arch. In the living room with air conditioning you will find a flat screen TV with satellite reception (approx. 50 German channels), stereo system with CD player, as well as a DVD player and DVDs and books. Internet access is available via a fixed Internet connection with WLAN (flat rate).
The villa is comfortably furnished.
Through a passage you reach the daylight bathroom, which is equipped with a shower/toilet, large washbasin and hairdryer. There is also a bedroom (1xDB) with TV, AC and built-in wardrobe with safe. A staircase takes you to the 1st floor where there is another bedroom (1x DB) with built-in wardrobe, air conditioning, television and an en suite bathroom with toilet and vanity. The bedrooms can be darkened. From this bedroom you have access to the upper terrace (approx. 35 m²), which is equipped with high-quality loungers and exclusive lounge furniture. Half of it is covered with a pergola. Underfloor heating (payable on site) ensures further comfort, which also makes the house interesting for long-term vacationers in the colder months. The villa is of course equipped with bathrobes, towels, shower towels, pool towels and bed linen. (Baby bed and high chair available if required)
A washing machine, ironing board and iron are also available.
For stays of more than 7 nights, an interim cleaning in the middle of the booked period is included.
In the garden there is an approximately 35 m² swimming pool with loungers, parasols and a terrace with garden furniture, as well as an outdoor shower.
You can reach the nearest beach after approx. 3 km. There are taverns and two mini markets in town. In the town of Atsipopolo, about 2 km, there are also mini markets, super markets, excellent bakers and taverns.
There is a bus connection from Prines to Rethymnon. A car is recommended to explore the wonderful surroundings.
The pool is not in operation from December to the end of March.
The length of stay from December 1st. until 31.03. is at least 28 nights.
The length of stay from April 1st. until May 21st is at least 7 nights.
From 01.05. - 06.11. All additional costs are included in the rental price.

8 / 10Excellent·May 2024
We enjoyed our month stay. The villa is beautiful and within walking distance from the village. Basic items for cooking very convenient : salt, pepper, olive oil, vinegar and sugar.
However, based on our experience, there are a few things to be improved : not enough pillows on the second floor, pillows were thin and uncomfortable; no bedding sets; 2 single-bed blankets instead of one double/queen blanket for the size of bed; no house cleaning products; missing/broken mosquito nets; unclean kettle, and neglected garden.
Please also be informed that it costs nearly 500€ for electricity without using either AC or heating for one month.
Welcoming gift basket and departing gift were very much appreciated. Thank you for the gesture.

We had an amazing time at Villa Sifina. Can't wait to visit again. Beautiful, clean home with an outstanding view. Close to restaurants and grocery. Loved the pool and outdoor seating downstairs and up. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and more. The owner Josef and his staff are great communicators and very helpful. We have rented properties all over the world and this is one of the best we have stayed in. If you are thinking about renting this property just do it. You will enjoy every minute of your stay in this lovely and peaceful place!

We stayed at villa Sifina for just over five weeks during December. It’s a lovely little villa, pleasantly decorated and proficiently equipped. Josef and Helga were superb hosts and very kind. They catered to our every need. The surrounding villages and countryside are incredibly beautiful and the vista from the villa is breathtaking. Shops and restaurants are reasonably near... however COVID is in the world and sadly lockdown was in effect. But nothing can put a damper on the overall beautiful experience that is Crete. We highly recommend staying here.

Wir wurden rundum sehr gut versorgt und begleitet. Das Haus und der Pool sind sehr schön, sodass wir nur zum Essen auswärts waren. Auch die Mietwagenanmietung über den Vermieter lief reibungslos.
Der kleine Ort Prines bietet einen Minimarkt, kleine Restaurants mit wunderbaren Atmosphäre und in kurzer Entfernung ein herrliches Lokal direkt am Wasser.
Sehr zu empfehlen!
