Everything was fine. It would have been good to have milk and bread at the house when we arrived at 2am. Loved the meal that was left for us. Clean house. Thank you, Roger and Hazel.

Beautiful villa, very well equipped with a very welcoming host, the host even met us half an hour away from the villa, in the middle of the night, to ensure we arrived safely. We were also greeted with a prepared meal and all important essentials, milk, water etc.. The villa was cleaned twice a week with the towels and linen changed.
We cannot recommend Harkia Villas highly enough.

The villa is ideal for a getaway from it all holiday. It sits some 2000 feet up in the hills above Rethymno. Views are spectacular. The peace and quiet is great and indeed the only noise came from bird song and goat bells. Excellent facilities and very attentive owners made our 9 night stay very enjoyable. Villa Faskomilia sits high above the other villa and behind it are olive groves. We arrived to a lovely meal prepared by mother of the family and indeed we did enjoy the availability of a further 2 meals chosen from a menu provided by the family. Irini (daughter) was our main contact and we simply communicated any questions by WhatsApp and she responded quickly. The villa is very nice and the pool a really good size. The surrounding garden area is well maintained by the owners. I would suggest the owners provide an information folder with local restaurants and places of interest ( we did ask for this information and it was provided). The folder could include information about cleaning schedule, and indeed all the information normally received on arrival etc. Location of emergency services should be included. The villa is very clean and tidy and my only suggestion would be replacing shower tray in main bedroom. Many thanks for the raki, wine, eggs and the meal on arrival and the olive oil on departure.
