This property is truly the best you will find, it has everything you could possibly need and then some things you didnt think you needed and now do. (Eg juicer for fresh orange juice)
Joanna is by far the best host ever, she contacted us prior to the trip and answered all questions and concerns.
Once at the villa she met us and welcomed us with the best pork stew I've ever tasted, and a home baked cake!!!
The villa was well stocked with the basics, milk, juice, bread watermelon, fruit, home grown courgettes and cucumbers and oranges and lemons etc so we had food for the next day.
(And were able to squeeze the best orange juice)
The pool is amazing as is the space at the villa, and the afternoon breeze off the mountains is the best.
Please visit reptisland I was there 2 mins and handed a snake and bearded dragon, the cave is amazing, and you must visit Joannas family olive oil farm and the honey farm.
I would 100% return to this villa and see Joanna again, who also popped a beautiful pudding mid week to us.
Book this villa you will not be disappointed xxx

My daughters and I had the most amazing holiday at Villa Evanthia. Joanna was the loveliest host. Not only did she supply a huge meal for us when we arrived but she brought round some delicious feta parcels, half way through the week.The place was well designed and very clean. Nice and cool in the day. The pool was gorgeous and the hot tub fun in the evening! We made use of the two bikes and the table tennis and there was a variety of games available.Melidoni Caves & cafe is a 30 min walk and the village with mini markets, bars, cafe, souvenir shop and the utterly fabulous Carob and Olive Restaurant (great cocktails) is a 5 minute walk. As is Reptisland, but we did not get time to visit. We also did not get to visit the family's own Olive Factory. We shall have to save that for another time!Our two main days out were spent at Bali Beach and Rethymno Old Town. I would highly recommend both!Villa Evanthia is a great find!

This was our first trip abroad with our children (10 & 15yrs), and having never booked holidays using Vbro I was very nervous about what to expect.I had absolutely no need for concern, as Villa Evanthea was exactly as described, and more!!! Immaculately peesented, with a much welcomed basic shop of bread, milk and fruit on our arrival.Joanna the owner is the most amazing host you could ask for. She pooped round with a family sized Cretan pork casserole on our 1st night, with waa so lovely. She was always available to offer advise, and was so welcoming and friendly.The villa us set in beautiful mountains, with Melidoni cave a short car ride away ( or walk if you're up to it). 200m away is the Reptile Centre which is well worth a visit, along with the Honey Museum and Joanna's family olive oil factory.We will definitely be back!!!

A fantastic Villa which is well thought out and designed. It is much more spacious than you could imagine for a property that can sleep a large group if needed. Brilliant location. Last & not least a mention goes to the host/owner Joanna who is incredibly helpful and Thoughtful. Always available if required. Definitely one of the best hosts experienced, will visit again.
