Volakas Beachfront Suites

We loved our stay at the Volakas Beachfront Suites. Our host, the owner, Athina met us on arrival and made us feel really welcome. In addition, we were greeted with a very generous welcome pack which kicked off our stay wonderfully. The suites are in a great location with easy access to local excellent tavernas ranging from budget meals to high quality dining. The delightful Rethymnon Old Town is a reasonably easy 15-20 stroll with access to a wide range of bars, restaurants and shops in a web of very attractive narrow car-free streets. The location was peaceful and very quiet at night other than the sound of the waves breaking on the shore literally a stone's throw away. We loved our stay and Athina was the perfect hostess.

The four suites that make up the whole property are in very close proximity and the shared space outside is a little tight, but our fellow guests were all very pleasant.

The villa was fantastic! Waking up to the sound of the sea was unforgettable. Athina, the owner, went above and beyond to make our stay special—she brought us fresh fruit from her garden and even baked us a cake. When one of our group needed to stay an extra day and the villa was already booked, she kindly helped arrange a nearby hotel. The location, cleanliness, and Athina’s exceptional hospitality made this stay truly perfect. Highly recommend!

The hostess was lovely! She brought Fresh fruit from her garden and checked in on us. The location is great between old town and nice restaurants.

Overall the house needs updating. The description isn’t correct. There is only 1 full bathroom with shower. Not enough for a family of 5. The doors on the bathrooms do not offer enough privacy. The 3rd and 4th beds are in a loft above the bedrooms which is up steep stairs.

The location of the property was amazing - right on the beach. The owner Athena was just the best - the perfect host.

A mirror in the bottom bathroom would Have been nice

De ligging direct aan de zee! Iedere dag weer van genoten, heerlijk in slaap vallen met het geluid van de golven

We hadden 3 slaapkamers verwacht maar zijn er maar twee. In die slaapkamers is een vide met een derde bed maar daarvoor moet je eenmalige steile trap op en heeft ook geen privacy

Die Lage direkt am Strand ist außergewöhnlich schön. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf das Fortezza ist spektakulär. Die Vermieterin Athina ist sehr nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Ausstattung des Apartments ist insgesamt sehr gut. Der Gemeinschaftspool im Innenhof lädt auch zum Schwimmen ein, wenn das Meer zu wild ist. Toll was hier aus einer alten Gerberei gemacht worden ist!

Bei den Einzelbetten die jeweils auf der Empore sind muss man schon schwindelfrei sein beim Aufstieg. Die Betten sind aber durchwegs bequem und wenn man oben ist hat es schon einen tollen Charme.

The villa is beautiful, tastefully decorated, clean, very close to the beach inclusive swimming pool and very central to rethymno. The beds are so comfy and we slept so well. The kitchen equipment was great and we loved the treats that were waiting for us when we arrived including home made jam and figs and oranges, local to the area. Athena, our host, was very hospitable and kind and gave us great tips about local restaurants. We loved it!

We loved everything.

Assolutamente la posizione stupenda che salva e copre tutti gli altri aspetti che passano in secondo piano !!!

Nulla

La vicinanza al mare

Il bagno non aereato. unica doccia per tutto l’appartamento . Letti singoli con materassi usurati.

Long before we arrived, communication was excellent. Stavros replied to all queries very quickly. Whilst there, his mum Athina was amazing. Exceptionally friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. The property is exactly as advertised, and it was a joy to spend 2 weeks there. Every detail was thought out to make your stay as comfortable as possible. From little things like beach towels, washing machine and dishwasher tabs etc. There is a shop right next door, a bakery up the street and nice restaurants a 3 minute walk away. It’s a relaxed 15 min walk into the old town with lots of food and entertainment options. We travelled with 3 teenagers. We felt safe letting the older 2 (16 and 18) out at night in the old town without us. They also used a pay as you go gym option nearby and really enjoyed that. The highlight was the view and sound of the sea. It was stunning!! Sitting out at night and listening to the sea, we were spoilt.

Leaving!!
