About this villa rental

Villa Ifigenia is a two-level stone building which has been recently constructed. The building is unique because the traditional elements are combined with a modern touch so that the visitors will feel comfortable during their stay. The villa is located in a quiet and isolated area, just 7km away from the lively city of Rethymno. It is well laid out in 80sq metres with an open plan kitchen, dining area and a living room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. The swimming pool is also for private use.

Villa Ifigenia is only 15 minutes drive from the centre of the city and 15 minutes drive from the nearest beach. The villa can accommodate up to 4 people.

We stayed at villa Ifigenia during the first 2 weeks of October 2023. The location is situated in the hills above Prines which is 5mins drive away and about 20mins from Old Town Rethymno - you will need a car. The villa was very clean and contained everything you required. The towels and bedding were changed on a regular basis. We made great use of the outside space - very quiet, not overlooked, sun all day with an excellent pool. Stella and the whole family were wonderful, very welcoming and very thoughtful - perfect hosts. A very big thankyou to everyone we met which made our stay in Crete even more memorable.

We have had a wonderful stay in Prines. The welcoming committee was very kind and helpful, including a home made Mousaka and stuffed vegetables, which tasted great ;-) The house was excellent, situated on a mountain, far away from the crowds. Very nicely decorated, all new stuff. The garden was marvellous too, the pool had a great view over a olive tree-yard and in the horizon you could see the ocean. Rhetimno was 15 minutes with the car, and the nearby (5 mins drive) village had some nice tavernas and a supermarket. We advice to rent a car since the house is secluded, which we like a lot.

Beautiful property set in an olive grove with views of both the mountains and the sea. The villa is about a mile from Prines and a mile and a half from Atsipopoulo where there is a good supermarket, a bakery and a few tavernas. 5 minutes in the car or 20 minutes on foot. Rehymnon and the beach 15 minutes by car. The villa itself has a good size pool and is very well appointed inside. The owners, the Sofoulakis family, are most welcoming and do everything they can to make for an enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

We have been renting villas in Crete for many years,but Villa Ifigenia surpassed all our expectations.First of all we were it's first guests,,so everything was brand new,but even so it was just right.First of all we were welcomed with a refrigerator full of goodies,fruit,vegetables, eggs,beer,a warm cake,and a beautiful plate of fresh fish.All the facilities in and out of the villa are first class,and the hospitality of the owners is outstanding.The pool and all the grounds are cleaned every day.There are many excellent tavernas in the local village of Prines, and the beaches and attractions of Rethymno are only a short drive away.
