Stone Built Villa Leonanto, with Landscape & Sea Views

Since we arrived very early in the morning, it was very kind that, after a phone inquiry, we immediately received an offer to stay in the pool garden area, even though the house was still being diligently cleaned. We were very happy and grateful – thank you again. We were also pleasantly surprised that the house was cleaned twice in between, including a towel change. The house and garden are beaut... more

Wir haben als Familie zu viert in dem Haus Urlaub gemacht. Wir waren total verliebt in das Haus. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig und sehr schön für einen entspannten Urlaub. Das Haus liegt auf dem Berg und ein Auto ist in jedem Fall notwendig. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Die Kommunikation war schnell und einfach.

Abbiamo trascorso un meraviglia soggiorno in questa villa. Tutto bellissimo e curato nei minimi dettagli, proprio come nelle foto. Manos e Silvia sono stati sempre disponibili e molto gentili. Consigliato!

We wanted a place that was conveniently located outside of the big cities that would be spacious and peaceful. This property delivered. Manos and team were helpful and attentive.

Nous avons passé un super séjour, la villa est magnifique, propre et privée ! Nous recommandons à 100 %

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, entsprach der Beschreibung und den Fotos. Der Garten ist wunderbar, viele Möglichkeiten zum sitzen und liegen. Auflagen für Liegen und Stühle ausreichend vorhanden. Jede Menge Variationen Kaffee zu kochen, alles an elektronischen Geräten vorhanden was man sich wünschen kann. Die Betten und die Wäsche waren super, es gab mehrmals Handtücher und das Angebot der zwischen Reini... more

Sehr schöne, liebevolle eingerichtete Villa. Netter hilfsbereiter Empfang. Wir waren super zufrieden, gerne wieder. Steffen & Ute Malessa

Wir haben 10 sehr schöne Tage in der Villa verbracht. Gut war das vorhandene Willkommenspaket, da wir erst sehr spät abends ankamen. Es bestand aus verschiedenen Lebensmitteln (z. B. Brot, Wurst, Käse, Kekse, Milch, Saft). Es gibt nur eine Taverne im Ort, die aber hervorragend und sehr zu empfehlen ist. Der Kontakt zu Manos und auch Silvia, die vor Ort betreut, war sehr angenehm und unkompliziert.

Een gezellig huisje op een ideale locatie in Kreta! Superervaring!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at Villa Leonanta, both Manos and Silvia made us feel very welcome and at home. The villa is beautiful and spacious with 3 good sized private double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The garden is magical, full of beautiful plants, trees and butterflies while the pool, shaded terrace and loungers under the walnut tree offered lots of nice places to relax. The location of the vil... more

We had a lovely, quiet stay in this secluded villa in the charming, rustic hilltop village of Kastellos that enjoys incredible views. Part of its charm is also it's challenge in that it is up a very long, windy road from the rather nondescript tourist town of Kavros (which is well serviced with a supermarket, butcher, chemist and eateries) and you need a car to go anywhere. However it's perfectly ... more

Wir waren zu sechst als Familie in Manos Finca und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Kommunikation war super und wir haben Tipps für die Umgebung erhalten. Die Taverne von Maria können wir Wärmstens empfehlen.

La villa Leonanto est gérée par Manos, un professionnel du tourisme, que nous n'avons pas rencontré. Nous n'avons pas eu de contact avec les propriétaires non plus mais uniquement avec Silvia, charmante et disponible, qui s'occupe de la maison. La maison est très bien rénovée et la vue est magnifique avec deux terrasses agréables. Nous n'avons pas essayé la piscine trop froide lors de notre séjour... more

This is a lovely villa in a super little village, easy access to the coast and some lovely beaches. The local taverna, Maria's, was a real bonus. The pool is lovely although a bit cool without heating in October.

Grosse Villa im Herzen des Dorfes Roussospiti. Die Gastgeberin Eleftheria ist sehr herzlich und lieb. Sie war immer erreichbar und half uns, wenn wir etwas nicht wussten. Das Haus ist wirklich gross und sehr sauber. Sie haben einen kleinen Spielplatz für die Kinder aufgebaut wie auf den Bildern. Ebenfalls vorhanden war ein Kinderbett und ein Hochstuhl. In gut 10 Minuten ist man mit dem Auto auf de... more

Super schönes Haus! Die Kommunikation war super! Es fehlt an nicht; wir kommen auf jedenfall wieder! Kleiner Nachteil; es ist sehr hellhörig im gesamten Haus!

Well appointed villa in a delightful little village where everyone was very friendly. Village taverna was great with Maria and Maria great hosts.

Great holiday home located in a lovely village with some if the nicest people we´ve met. Would love to go again soon!

Great place to stay. Beautiful view.

Heerlijk rustig gelegen huis met mooi uitzicht, het restaurant van Maria is op loopafstand en wij hebben daar heerlijk gegeten. In de avond was het wat koel en hebben we de geweldige hout kachel gebruikt, heel gezellig! Ook heerlijk matras, daar hebben we van genoten want Griekse matrassen zijn vaak nogal hard ;-)

Villa Leonanto is a cozy and clean villa in a beutiful uphill location with a great view. It is traditionnally decorated with style and care. The beds were comfy and the garden was attractive with a small pool. We only stayed for three days in this accommodation, and therefore didn't have time to swim or enjoy the garden much, since there were so many interesting places to visit in the area: beau... more

Tolles Haus in hervoragender Lage, toll ausgestattet und geschmackvoll gemacht. Alle Gäste haben sich sehr wohl gefühlt. So ist Urlaub, weiter so.

You get what you see and this is excellent. We really enjoyed our vacations in this traditional stone house. Perfectly renovated located in a nice village. Very local. Owner Leonidas & Marina taking care whenever it's needed within very short time. Silvia is taking care and cleaning very good. Everything is very privat and myself and my family loved the atmosphere , the environment and the loc... more

Wir waren 11 Tage in diesem Haus und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus befindet sich abseits aller Touristenmassen in einem ruhigen und abgeschiedenen Bergdorf. Dennoch gibt es eine herausragende Taverne („Mapia“) im Dorf, in der wir des Öfteren waren. Der Pool ist perfekt und das Haus ist sehr schön restauriert! Die Sehenswürdigkeiten, welche mit einer Autofahrt von ca. 1 h zu erreichen sind,... more

Fantastic house in a beautiful location, gracious hosts - would recommend it to my friends anytime!

We (family of 4 with 2 teenage boys) enjoyed our stay very much. Nice, clean villa in quiet, rural environment within 10mins drive to the beach. Since it has been really hot at our time of stay, we appreciated air conditioning in all rooms and the pool. Also noteworthy: owner and service personnel are super responsive/helpful and good taverna in walking distance.

The villa is a villa that, when you embrace it, immediately returns the holiday feeling to you. Mind you, you are on top of a mountain, in a rural area between the inhabitants of Kastello. View from the villa (roof terraces) is magnifique. The sounds of animals, insects, birds and people make you feel like you're in a nice movie. The kitchen is modern, all appliances work, work space for cooking ... more

We stayed in the Villa for a week in the middle of August 2020; this is when Covid-19 was impacting holidays across Europe. It was an absolute pleasure to do so. The Villa is about 10 minutes off the main Heraklion - Rethymon - Chania main road between Rethymon and Chania. We had arrived at Heraklion airport and it was an easy 90 minute drive from there. Rethymon is about 20 minutes away and Cha... more

Прекрасное место для спокойного семейного отдыха в живописном месте с видом на горы и море. Всё продумано для удобства жильцов. Бассейн, барбекью во дворе и лучший песчаный пляж совсем недалеко. Очень понравилось!

Very nice house and location!

Very nice house in traditional village. Just 15 minutes from the sea. One local very nice taverna around the corner. Definitely recommend this place!

The villa is cosy and comfortable, very clean, quiet and very well equipped with all the necessary equipment a family needs, with top quality things. Being up in the hills gives it incredible views. Further It has an authentic feel to it and We felt like we were living in it for years! With this villa we enjoyed the Cretan countryside at its fullest with panoramic views of the sea and mountains. Y... more

Superbe maison au calme et très bien située. Je conseille pour les personnes aimant la tranquillité.

Eine wunderschöne restaurierte Steinvilla in einem bezaubernden Bergdörfchen mit unfassbar freundlichen Menschen, einer großartigen Taverne und einem sehr sympathischen Gastgeber. Thank you Marina & Leonidas, we had a wonderful time in lovely Villa Leonanto! ❤

Awesome****** The most relaxing holidays.An awesome house,very clean,quiet ,good size piscine,comfortable beds ,very well equipped with top quality things.And of course an excellent tradional tavern with homemade cretan food.A 5star accomodation 10 min from a beautiful beach, between Chania and Rethymno.

Wonderful place! When we arrived late in the evening we got a warm welcome with a bite from the local tavern (which offers excellent traditional food!) so that we instantly felt relaxed and comfortable. Communication was very good and attentive from booking to leave. Villa Leonanto offered more than enough space for our family of four and could easily accommodate up to 6 or even 7 people. The k... more

Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen! Es sieht genauso aus wie auf den Fotos :-) Außerdem einwandfreie Kommunikation, eine nette Ansprechpartnerin vor Ort, die wirklich alles tut, damit der Urlaub problemlos verläuft, nette Nachbarn und eine besonders leckere Taverne direkt um die Ecke. Einziges Manko: Fußläufig schnell etwas erreichen ist nicht möglich. Man ist auf ein Auto angewiesen. Würde d... more

Manos est un professionnel du tourisme qui gère la location de la villa pour le compte des propriétaires. Nous avons eu affaire à lui uniquement avant le départ. Nous n'avons eu de contact avec les propriétaires que par sms, la relation sur place étant assurée par une charmante jeune femme, Sylvia, qui a tout fait pour rendre notre séjour agréable. Son amie Maria qui tient la "taverne" du village ... more

Fantastisches Haus, abseits touristischer Trampelpfade wunderbar ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf gelegen und doch ganz nahe zum Meer und schönen Stränden! Garten

We had a great week at the villa! It was all perfect from booking at Mr. Manos to arriving at the villa. Silvia was already expecting us and showed us everything, very friendly, very good care. Also with the rental car from the company Voyager everything was without problems. Very nice house, great pool, we felt very comfortable, thank you, we are thinking about coming again

We found the villa very attractive - recently renovated to a high standard, very good pool, right mix of sun and shade, great views, helpful people, quiet. Well placed for trips to Chania, and the Rethymno south coast. One very friendly taverna you can walk to, numerous other options within a 5-10 min drive. No significant issues at all.

This villa is an absolute delight. The directions we received to the villa were very easy (located about 10 mins drive from the main highway. The description provided is extensive and accurate, the villa in an excellent condition and it suited our needs perfectly. In particular the pool and outdoor dining area are amazing. The owner who met us at the property was very accommodating to our needs an... more

Beautiful villa, very clean, spacious and very well equipped. It is in a quiet village, so you need a car to go everywhere, but it is good to have some peace after visiting the tourists places. Swimming pool is great too. The owner and the staff were very king and gave us very good tips! Amazing tradition tavern just 3 min walking distance, which is a good option for dinner.

We stayed 2 weeks at the Villa Leonanto and enjoyed the house to the fullest. It is architecturally, as well as from the establishment, an absolute highlight. From the friendly welcome by Sylvia, who explained everything to us in detail and also gave good advice on shopping, to the cleanliness in the house and the pool everything was perfect. Of course, the pool is an important element and it simp... more

The villa is really nice , recently refurbished and located in a small country village, Kastellos which is perfectly located near Xania, Retmynon , Kournas lake etc.. . At walking distance, you can find the superb Maria Taverna where Andreas and Maria will welcome you and serve local food and beverages . You will feel between friends and will enjoy evening diners ..
