Villa Pantelis

Urlaub vom ersten Augenblick ! Der Vermieter hat uns persönlich empfangen und durchs Haus geführt, wir (drei Paare) fühlten uns sofort wie zu Hause, auf dem Tisch standen ua Wasser, selbst hergestellte Lebensmittel, Blumen und sogar ein selbstgebackener Kuchen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war über WhatsApp sehr einfach (auch schon vor der Anreise), wir konnten ihn jederzeit kontaktieren. Das Haus und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt, alles mit Liebe zum Detail und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und angelegt. Auf Anfrage kann man sich auch ein sehr üppiges Frühstück mit griechischen Köstlichkeiten machen lassen. Im Ort gibt es einen kleinen Lebensmittelladen für den täglichen Bedarf sowie eine kleine einfache Taverne (Appolonia Coffee & More), wo man sehr gut eine Kleinigkeit essen oder auch nur was trinken kann.

Thank you Maria for hosting us.. we absolutely loved your Villa

Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, der immer erreichbar war und sich immer gekümmert hat. Toller Pool. Netter Empfang. Ließ keine Wünsche offen.

Ein Schafzimmer ist gleichzeitig auch Durchgangszimmer zum Pool, das sollte man wissen.

Maison à l'architecture exceptionnelle. Aménagement magnifique et accès à des arbres fruitiers et un jardin. Hotes extrêmement gentils et serviables. Maria est une soie. Nous avons été traités aux petits oignons. Une villa en plein coeur d'un village où résident peu de touristes. Le musée local est très riche malgré la taille de la localité et en relation avec les nombreuses ruines qui datent de 3500 ans à aujourd'hui. Point de départ parfait pour la découverte des richesses archéologiques du coin. C'est une maison authentique qui contraste avec les villas pour touristes parfois sans âme. Vous pourrez profiter de 4 terrasses différentes qui donnent des points de vue divers !

Les escaliers sont un peu difficiles si un client a des problèmes de mobilité ce qui n'était pas notre cas. Pas beaucoup de négatif à souligner !

This wonderful villa is situated in the hills approximately 20 minutes from Rethymno. A mix of traditional Crete, yet all the amenities you need. The photos are brilliant, yet this place still took our breath away! Maria, Maria and Tasos are the perfect hosts. They sorted out transportation for a special day and gave us advice leading up to the holiday and during. We felt like we arrived and left family and would most definitely return. All rooms are air conditioning, which is appreciated after hot days round the pool. Everything has been well thought out in the villa for preparing food and bbqing. Spoilt for choice with balconies to relax!! We had our favourite for our morning coffee and evening card games. We loved the sounds of nature all around, especially the Scop Owls at night coming to visit!! We can’t wait to return.

Got us there were no negatives. This is the perfect retreat to get away from busy life because of its location.

Beautiful villa with a rustic charm set up in the hillside overlooking the outskirts of Etherthena. Looks old but isn't and comes with all the modern bits you need like rainfall showers, dish washer and air con in the 4 bedrooms along with a lovely pool. Situated over 3 floors with 3 bedrooms downstairs - double with balcony, triple with en-suite and twin with door out to the decking around the pool, along with a family bathroom with washing machine. Large living and kitchen area with 2 large balcony and then the 4th bedroom on level 3 with toilet and a roof terrace. Car parking for 2 cars and a superb bbq area with large outdoor table seating 8. No complaints from anyone about uncomfortable beds Took 5 young adults with us and plenty of space for everyone. Maria the owner and who's late husband built the villa (along with a few other houses local by looks of designs) is soo lovely, saw her most mornings going around tidying the outside areas and watering the gardens. Greeted by Maria's daughter Maria and husband Tassos, shown around and had a lovely welcome platter of fresh grapes from the garden. Tap water here is drinkable and tastes good, meaning no lugging of big bottles of water around

There's not really anything to not like. Only thing to be cautious of is the stairs inside as they twist at the top which is quite tight - just a bit if caution needed if you are unsteady on feet.

The very neat house was a pleasure to be in for the duration of our stay. A very pleasant and quiet village atmosphere.

What's not to like.

We visited villa Pantelis with our friends (a group of 8 people) and had a great time there. The house is very beautiful, cozy but big at the same time, with very detailed traditional decoration and various special items from Cretan culture. All bedrooms are comfortable and the same hold for the rest of the house which is also fully equipped (eg.in the kitchen, the barbecue area etc). We trully enjoyed the swimming pool and the flourished gardens. Lastly, the hosts and their warm welcome made us feel like home. They were very friendly, warm and with understanding and desire to satisfy all our needs. We had a wonderful relaxing time there!!

Fantastic villa perched on top of hill in small village. it’s very well equipped with lots of different external areas in the well kept gardens. Tassos, Maria and Maria could not do enough to make sure had everything we needed, even home made treats.

only problem for some could be it is a 15 minute drive, down very windy roads, to the main road and beaches.
