Villa Sunset, Stunning Sea&Mountain View, Hammocks on Roof Terrace and Kids Area

The villa was spacious and well appointed. Two bedrooms, 1 Double and 1 Twin. The bathroom was well equipped with shower, toilet, bidet, sink etc. The Lounge/Kitchen/Diner was again spacious and well furnished. The hob and cooker were easy to use and there is a also a microwave and toaster. There is a large fridge with a freezer cupboard above, large enough for sufficient food for almost a week for a family of 4.The pool isn't heated which towards the end of the season isn't ideal as it takes some time to get used to, but during the full summer months wouldn't be an issue.Ibrahim, Karima and son Omar are very friendly and couldn't do enough for us during our stay of 19 days. We arrived to find a welcome pack of milk, bread, fruit and other items which made the first day very easy as we didn't have to buy anything.Travel to the local villages is easy and further into Rethymnon is about 15-20 mins. Plenty of Restaurants', bars and shops. There is also a Lidl store nearby although during the week this closes promptly at 9:00pm. There are other mini-market shops locally for supplies after this time.For information, if you have any mobility issues this may not be the property for you, due to some steep slopes, and having a car with a bigger engine (1.3L and above) is recommended as smaller engined cars may struggle. Other than these minor points we cannot recommend Sunset Villa highly enough and are planning our return there already.

The villa is beautiful and spacious enough for the whole family. The pool and the seating area up on the roof with spectacular views of the mountains and sea were well used! The owner Ibrahim and his family couldn’t have been more helpful and kind, and gave us some of their gorgeous grapes from their vines too. This is a great location, in a very quiet area with an amazing taverna within walking distance but far enough away from the busyness of Rethymno to make you feel very relaxed. Would recommend.

I like hospitality of Ibrahim and its disponibity Renaud

The house and pool are completely beautiful and Crete itself was amazing. We relaxed and got the chance to visit some amazing places. The only challenge with this property is that the owner isn't local and we had some real issues fixing some basic things as a result of this. We arrived late at night, and due to the fact that we didn't have a map or description of how to reach the property got thoroughly lost until 4.30 am. Ibrahim tried to help, but it's hard to describe how to get somewhere in the dark when you're in Qatar! Then the wifi, washing machine, and dishwasher didn't work. It took a week for anyone to take us seriously on the first two (which were then fixed), but the dishwasher won't be fixed until November. Like I say, the house is beautiful and Ibrahim did try, but with no local support it was incredibly hard to get some basic things fixed - which really interfered with us being able to relax and get on with the holiday we were expecting.
