Kallixeni Villas

The villa was clean and cool, the outside pool area was wonderful and the views were stunning! Collecting the keys was very straightforward after a long and stressful journey from the UK. The restaurants in the village were amazing (Staras was really nice!), and it was a reasonably short car trip into Rethymno. Probably the nicest holiday I've ever been on, and a large part of that was having this beautiful villa as our base! Thank you for having us :)

More of an observation than a complaint, but the roads around the villa/village took a bit of getting used to with the car! We also walked into the village on a couple of occasions to go out for dinner, and the road back to the villa is really steep (especially when it was still 30 degrees Celsius at midnight!), however, jumping in the pool for a midnight swim was utterly amazing!

3rd time at Kallixeni Villas. Nice villas, wonderful view and everything you need nearby (Tavernas, groceries, Beaches). Everything perfectly cleaned. Very friendly staff.

The beds are too soft.

The property was perfect for our family. We loved the private pool and view

Everything was amazing

The view was perfect.

The bed. We stayed 3 nights and it was more than enough for my back. If our stay would have last a bit longer, I would have slept directly on the floor

the view and the privacy with your own pool

nothing - I should have booked longer

We had an absolutely AMAZING stay for 2 weeks! The Villas are just like on the pictures, if not nicer! If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, this is it! Absolutely quiet and relaxing! Finally we found a Villa that really ticks all the boxes. Communication from the moment of booking was seamless. Check -in absolutely wonderful - got greeted with welcome gifts in the Villa (Water, wine, Raki!) . Everything is spotlessly clean. The Villa is of a higher standard and has lots of little touches that make you feel like you are at home. A very well equipped kitchen. Everything is there what you can possibly need. The lovely cleaning ladies came by every 3rd day to clean and refresh towels. TV in the living room and the bedroom. We had a hire car, but found it difficult to explore the Island as that meant we had to leave the Villa :)! You just want to stay and enjoy it!! A really nice beach is just 10 minutes drive away - and if you head the other direction to Rethymno, its just as lovely for dinner and exploring. The little Town in Gerani, which is about 5-10 minutes walk away, has lovely tavernas with delicious food. But we also stayed in the Villa and made our own dinner and enjoyed the evening outside with a bottle of wine. And about previous reviews i read about the Beds that are too soft: I have chronic back pain and only just had a fresh slipped disc in my spine a few months ago. So i was a bit worried when i read the reviews where people said the bed was too soft. However, we found the bed absolutely comfortable and great. Soft but not too bad! No issues with my back at all! Kallia made our stay just perfect. She was so responsive, usually got a response within a minute of texting her when i had a question whilst we were there. Thank you very much for your hospitality and we are in no doubt coming back!!!

The only thing i didnt quite like is that we had to leave again :( You cannot fault the Villas in and I am only worried when word gets round, that the Villas will always be fully booked, and we cant book anymore :)

Very clean, amazing view, very polite staff, privacy - everything you need for a great vacation. The small village is authentic - has nice restaurant and a good bakery.

nothing

The terrace is stunning, amazing pool and view! The kitchen was really well equipped and had everything we needed. The apartment was really clean and comfortable and the internet tvs a great addition so the kids could log into our Netflix some evenings
