We had a great stay at Villa Kleanthi - such a lovely spot for a week away with friends. The villa itself is located in a quiet, rural location (you will definitely need a car and be confident in windy roads) with wonderful views over the valley and the mountains. Plenty of space for a group of people (we barely used the living room as we mainly spent our time outside) and lovely outdoor spaces, including a great pool. Rooms had all we needed with good showers and air conditioning, with comfy beds. Kitchen facilities were good, with big fridge and oven, hob and bbq, though could do with a baking tray and a few more chopping boards. Easy drive to Rethymno and beaches on the south coast, as well as exploring the interior of the island. Would also recommend Taverna Goules a short walk away, and Kallergis Bakery on the other side of the highway for great food stops. All in all would definitely recommend for a stay.

A special place to stay.Tucked away in the hills above Rethymno (around a 20 minute drive). The property itself is well-furnished, with high-quality furnishings throughout. The kitchen is especially well kitted out. We hired a car, however, the taxi service (number supplied by host) made for a trouble-free excursion, to and from town, especially if one likes a tipple! The views are stunning, and the outdoor space and pool make it a very relaxing stay.Would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for a peaceful Cretan retreat with a bit of seclusion from a busy world.

Lovely house perched on top of a hill, this remote location was clean and spacious and offered breathtaking sunset views!The owner was there to greet us upon arrival to give us a brief walk through and provide a few recommendations.If you are looking to be on the outskirts of a major city centre like Chania, Heraklion, or Rethymno, this is a nice place to stay. It has a lovely pool (heated at extra cost) and an outdoor BBQ/lounge area ideal for end of June, July and August weather. The beds were extremely comfortable! The kitchen has some of the basic essentials if you don’t want to go out for dinner or prefer home cooked meals but I strongly encourage anyone staying there to try Alekos Taverna in Armenoi — Joseph, the owner and the chef was wonderful! Unfortunately, the wifi and TV weren’t working most times due to some upgrades being done in the area at the time we were there so we had to use our data and couldn’t watch TV to wind down after a busy day. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Kleathi.

Fantastic! Beautiful views, charming decor, refreshing pool. The house has everything you need for a great vacation, and the hosts make sure to help you with any questions like the nearest grocery store or nearby tavernas.
