Villa Thalassa Stavromenos beach

Upon arriving we were greeted by our hosts who explained everything there is to konw about the house and its amenities. We were welcomed with such kindness, a fridge full with everything needed for a first breakfast, wine from owned vineyard and olive oil from owned lands. Honestly, I never have felt so pampered, welcome and assisted before. Kornilia and Lambros are rare, super kind and truly exceptional. The location is exceptional, right next to a small beach (pebbles), tavernas, Super Markets, bakery etc are just minutes away. Rethymno is within easy reach and the Villa is a perfect starting point for day-trips in all directions.

Nothing to complain.

perfect location, beautiful villa, polite and warm welcoming, free welcome gifts outside shower, towels for inside and also outside large terrace clean and quiet

beds for two are very narrow AC in one room didnt work properly (we asked and it should be repaired after season, which we understand, its extremely busy during main season)

It was exactly like in the pictures. The location was amazing and the direct access to the sea was really comfortable.. Highly recommended.

The most peaceful and tranquil location.

The location was perfect for us and it was very relaxing to be in nice quiet area. The hosts were very helpful and could be contacted at any time. Cornelia greeted us and had cooked us an amazing meal for our first night ( it was so big it lasted two nights!) and provided us with more local produce than we could get through! Everything we needed was in the apartment including toaster, kettle juicer, hairdryer etc. The views from the patio/garden are amazing especially the sunset. My wife and daughter loved the fact you could go straight through the gate and swim in the sea. We as a family loved our stay and it was a great base for us to use while we explored the rest of the island.

My partner and I chose Villa Thalassa as we were looking for a beach holiday somewhere peaceful, away from the usual crowds, noisy families and party-goers. The villa offered exactly what we were hoping for. Situated right on the coast and a bit off the beaten tourist track, the property has direct access to a small beach which, although not private, is frequented by only a few people. In fact, a great deal of the time we had it to ourselves when we visited in late June. Although the villa is quiet and secluded, it is by no means isolated. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance, a supermarket nearby, and, of course, the charming town of Rethymno, with all its amenities, is only a short drive away. Our hosts made us feel really welcome; they offered us complimentary food and drinks which were really welcome, especially on the day we arrived, and made sure we were okay throughout our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit this lovely place again in the future.

Great location, great hosts, great villa! The super nice hiosts welcomed us warmly and generously and face us very good recommendations. The villa was clean, comfort, spacious, and fully equipped. We cannot wait to come again!

Nothing at all!
