Villa Princess

A beautiful villa in a great location. Stunning views across Rethymno. The host was amazing and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

After booking and prior to arrival, the agents (eTouri) were very attentive and in constant contact with information updates and checks. On arrival, we were met by the villa owner (George) who was so lovely and hospitable and couldn't have done more for us during our stay - including allowing us to stay on after check out as we had a late flight. That made a big difference to our last day and we were very thankful for it.

George came to the villa to say goodbye and was very keen to know what could be improved. We did mention a couple of pretty minor things which he was straight onto. (One thing we did forget to say was that the sun-loungers could probably do with new covers before next season!)

Just returned from a wonderful family week at this spacious apartment . We booked because of the outdoor space and certainly we weren’t disappointed ! It really has a lovely location and amazing place to sit outside and watch the sunset . So much space for sun loungers / outside eating and playing table tennis . George the host is so accommodating and his Mum even cooked a lovely moussaka that we enjoyed one evening . We would love to return

As per other reviews , you don’t get the amazing views without a bit of uphill effort ! We didn’t have a car and enjoyed the challenge of walking up hill with 10litre bottles of water . But taxis are opposite supermarket (15 min walk ) or outside the old town . Prices from 6-8 euros .

This is the most beautiful villa and George is the most generous host - we particularly loved the Raki and fresh pastries! We were a group of seven adults and spent two wonderful weeks here - it was perfect. There is plenty of indoor space, the bedrooms are large and quiet, the bathrooms have good showers, the air-conditioning works well and the kitchen is very well stocked. It was cleaned twice a week with new linen and towels provided. We were even cooked a traditional Greek supper dish and a beautiful cake by George's mother. What a treat! But outside is where the villa really excels. The garden is large and perfect for relaxing, eating, playing games, BBQing and all the things you could want to do on a peaceful secluded villa holiday. The views across the bay are spectacular with utterly beautiful sunsets every evening. Rethymno Old Town is a 20 minute walk away and is delightful, with an abundance of tavernas, bars and shops. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful which only added to the holiday experience. I couldn't recommend this villa and the area any more strongly!

The villa is at the top of a hill, hence the fabulous views, but this does mean that the walk from the supermarket and tavernas is back up the steep hill. There are taxis available so it's not impossible, but the hill is worth knowing about! We hadn't planned to, but ended up hiring a car as Rethymno beach is a good half hour walk and while the waters a clear and clean it's quite a busy beach so if you want any more secluded beaches you'll need to be able to drive to them.

This place is incredible! We loved every second of our stay in Villa Princess, from the minute we got there (which was late 11pm) the host was ready to greet us and do a tour of the house. He also made bread and cheese and we had a toast of Raki with him. The facilities are amazing perfect for a group of friends or family, the pool is amazing great size and clean. So much room outside and the inside is lovely too. We had a late flight and the host let us stay until the taxi collected us which was so kind of him. I cant recommend this villa and the host enough we loved it so so much and would 100% return!

The villa is spacious and functional. We had upto 9 people in the villa at times and it was not an issue. The villa is very clean and has been renovated to a decent modern standard. AC is really cool throughout and it comes with all the kitchen appliances needed. But where this property excels is the garden. The property has a huge garden with a decent sized pool and the view is absolutely incredible, especially at sunset. The BBQ is fantastic and the outdoor dining table is excellent for entertaining. The villa is very close to the local town, and as a lover of great cuisine I was not disappointed at all by the huge amount of quality fine dining restaurants, so many to choose from we just googled them and went to the ones with the highest ratings and we’re not disappointed! The owner of the villa George is a great guy and was always on hand should we need anything. His family take care of all the cleaning and come twice a week and also clean the pool properly. Me and my family stayed in the family for a month and had a truly memorable holiday here! would love to come back again sometime! PS - please feed the cats like we did if you stay in villa princess! We grew very fond of them!!

We arrived at the property to be greeted by George the owner. He was very informative about the property & welcomed us with Raki shots. The villa was fantastic with brilliant outdoor area & pool which was great for my toddler grandson. There was everything you could possibly need for your holiday. We would definitely recommend this villa to our family & friends & would certainly consider returning to Villa Princess if we go back to Crete.

The only negative for me was the mattresses were a bit too hard for me.

Genuinely was beautiful! The view was stunning, the host was more than accommodating. I'm so sorry for the delay in this review, work and everything in between has just been super busy. 1 million % would book again. 10/15-minute walk into the old town. Villa is on the hill and out of the way. Additionally secluded at the end of the row, with its own private electronic gate, super quiet. Home also to 5 gorgeous cats, 2 kittens, which the gf and me loved. Host brought his mother's own homemade cooked food, and cleaned the place every 3 to 4 days, including the pool. Everything was available from takeaway menu's to towels, to anything we could ever need or desire, even got a ping pong table upon request, and again the view, from the ocean to the fort. Thank you for such a great trip! Until next time sir! Thank you
