Panoramic Sea Views in Archos Villa

Great place with a stunning view. Owner very friendly

We hebben ontzettend genoten van ons verblijf: een heerlijk zwembad met ligbedden + grote handdoeken. De pooltafel was tof en via de tv kon je streamen (google chromecast aanwezig, ideaal!). Het huis was groot, ruime slaapkamers met prima bedden en veel kastruimte. Er was altijd een plekje in de zon te vinden, maar ook in de schaduw > buiten eten kon dus naar wens. De BBQ was top! Regelmatige scho... more

Amazing villa! Great for a large group and stunning views.

Entscheidend ist doch, ob das Inserat der Realität entspricht. Das ist hier der Fall. Ruhig gelegen, gut zu finden, sauber und ein toller Ausblick auf die Umgebung. John ist ein freundlicher Gastgeber und hat sich um alles gekümmert. Kann man nur empfehlen

La vue avait retenu notre attention sur les photos et nous n'avons pas été déçus! Exceptionnelle vue à 180° sur la mer. La villa est bordée d'oliviers de chaque côté. C'est magnifique. La villa est très bien entretenue, propre, et fonctionnelle. Le petit portique avec toboggan a été apprécié de nos jeunes enfants. Le billard est très beau. C'est un grand modèle. La villa est située sur la colline ... more

Superbe villa avec vue magnifique. Très confortable et dans un environnement magnifique, la villa nous a ravi durant nos 4 nuits passées vers Rethymno, je recommande et reviendrai !

Lieber Manos, uns hat es in der Villa sehr gefallen, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Feigen am Baum in der Einfahrt waren reif und lecker. Vielen Dank für den tollen Service. Heiko

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Villa. Hier wird ein super Service angeboten. Während wir da waren, wurde das Haus zweimal gereinigt sowie die Handtücher ausgetauscht. Der Pool wird ebenfalls regelmäßig kontrolliert. Man hat einen schönen Blick auf das Meer. Der Vermieter hat uns sogar von sich aus ein komplettes Frühstück bereitgestellt, da wir erst sehr spät am Abend angereist sin... more

Fantastic villa in a beautiful location, everything considered including fresh olive oil from the gardens ! Well equipped & very well presented. Our host was amazing- thank you ! Car essential - 15 minute drive to the strip but some local amenities closer. Great views, super quite location. We can’t wait to return !

Though a little off the beaten track this villa sits in very quiet, attractive surroundings with panoramic views and felt very intimate. We had a great stay and our host (John), went out of his way to address any issues very swiftly and personably. It was so refreshing to arrive at a villa where such basics as washing powder, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, olive oil and even charcoal fo... more

Generally a great villa - was perhaps luxury 5 years ago, but a few minor points for us would drop it down a notch currently. Compared to genuine luxury: no satellite TV, no TV in the main lounge, no air-con in one of the four bedrooms, tiny open shower right next to the toilet in one of the three bathrooms, maintenance was a little lacking in places (a number of loose wall power sockets, faili... more

At the end of June 2023, we stayed at Villa Archos for 5 nights. The villa, which is very well maintained and very clean, is beautifully situated in the middle of an olive grove and surrounded by beautiful vegetation. It is built on three levels, and the panoramic view of the sea and countryside is magnificent from all three. We also really appreciated the peace and quiet of the location. Rat... more

We had a wonderful stay at Agia Triada with our family of 4. The weather was a bit too cold for the pool but the kids had lots of fun outside and in with the toys and games provided. The property is very clean and quiet and John was very responsive when we had a small problem with the water, he fixed it within 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a lovely relax... more

Kreta hat uns am 15. Oktober 22 mit dem stärksten Unwetter seit Jahren empfangen, der Flughafen in Heraklon war stundenlang vor Ankunft geschlossen. Umso mehr hat es uns gefreut, dass wir nach langer Verspätung mit unserem Mietwagen gegen Mitternacht im Haus ankamen. John der Besitzer hat uns empfangen und für ein delikates Abendmahl gesorgt. Ein Geschenk von Crete Villas war eine Massage im Haus... more

Το σπίτι ήταν όπως ακριβώς στις φωτογραφίες, υπέροχο! Οι εξωτερικοί χώροι ήταν καταπληκτικοί, τα παιδιά ενθουσιάστηκαν και πέρασαν 4 μέρες κοντά στη φύση. Κάτι ακόμη που απολαύσαμε ήταν το μπιλιάρδο που βρίσκεται στον κάτω όροφο. Ο οικοδεσπότης ήταν πολύ ευγενικός και φιλόξενος. Θα ξαναπηγαιναμε σίγουρα!!

The perfect stay! From of the booking to the check out, the communication was great and everything was well organised. Location: It is perfect described. It is situated in the hills above Rethymno with a beautiful view over olive trees to the sea. A beautiful garden with grapes, olive, limes and orange trees makes you feel like you are in Demeters garden. There are no neighbours in sight or hearin... more

This is an amazing villa all around. Everything was spotless and great, from the pool, the pool table , furniture. Only few things that could've been better to make it a perfect stay : 1. Wifi was really slow. Really struggled with it. 2. Even if wasn't really cold we could've had a few blankets as covers on the bed were really thin. Otherwise for the price this is a marvelous property, one of the... more

Wir waren mit 8 Leuten in der Villa und unser Urlaub war sehr schön. Das Haus bietet alles was man benötigt um sich eine schöne Zeit zu machen. Um sich flexibel auf der Insel zu bewegen sollte man sich aber definitiv ein Mietwagen buchen, da das Haus schon etwas abseits liegt. Für uns war das perfekt, weil man keine Rücksicht auf die eigene Lautstärke nehmen musste. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wir haben mit vier Personen in der Villa Archos vom 4.-16-Sept 22 unsere Ferien verbracht. John hat uns so gut wie möglich versucht zu betreuen. Leider fehlte ihm die Zeit etwas zu unserer Begrüssung einzukaufen und auch das Auschecken wurde nur per Phone abgewickelt. Auf Kreta für Ferienhäuser bin ich mir da einen besseren Service gewonht!! Das WLan viel immer wieder aus und auch der von John a... more

Très bon accueil et propritaire à l écoute. Magnifique maison au calme avec tout ce qu il faut pour passer un agréable moment.

Nous étions 3 couples d’amis et avons passé un séjour merveilleux à la villa de John. Les chambres confortables ne manquaient pas d’armoire, la vue depuis les pièces de séjour était à couper le souffle, le billard nous a permis de finir les journées avec beaucoup de plaisir. Grâce à sa localisation, nous avons pu visiter l’ouest et le sud de l’île. Le seul petit bémol: la salle de bain du rez de c... more

A really Beautiful villa set in a perfect location amongst olive groves, peaceful and rural but only a short drive into the town and local beaches. The pool and full-size pool table were very much appreciated, especially by the younger members of our party. The welcome pack including Cretan snacks was a lovely introduction to the cuisine. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful house

Everything about Villa Archos was perfect! The kitchen was well stocked with all the things you need, comfy beds, aircon, pool table, multiple fridges to keep your Mythos cold on each floor! There was even a jacuzzi bath tub on the top floor. The pool was clean and refreshing, the perfect size for all of us, great for the kids and nice and secluded. The bbq was next to a lemon tree so it was lovel... more

Das Haus ist ein absoluter Traum. Der Meerblick mit Sonnenuntergang ist wunderschön! Es sieht in der Realität besser aus, als auf den Bildern. Wir waren zu 8 Personen dort und die Größe des Hauses war ideal. Es ist komplett ruhig gelegen, ein Auto also definitiv empfehlenswert. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Villa très belle un plus avec la piscine vu la chaleur. voiture obligatoire. prévoir du temps en voiture pour visiter . avec les enfants nous sommes allés voir des reptiles petite structure mais accueil chaleureux et on prends son temps pour expliquer les choses. les gens sont amicales et aux petits soins pour vous dans les petits restos.

Great experience in Archos Villa ! Thanks to Manos and his team for professionalism and perfect communication and to the owner for his kindness and listening ! The house is amazing, spectacular view and great equipments near from all comodities ans beaches.....cleaned 2 times a week...a cat with her 2 young kittens were present in the area whitout disturbing us that was so cute !...nature and par... more

Very comfy stay at the Villa. The plot and premises in general were perfect size for three families traveling together. The property owner, John was really helpful and responsive to all the needs we had. Car is recommended for getting around.

Perfect stay at a perfect villa. The view is stunning, especially at sunrise.

We had a really good time! The house is beautiful, very neat and larger than expected. The service was really good as well, with regular house cleaning, groceries and local tips included. The house is located in a quiet area with a beautiful view and close to several nice beaches, Rethymnon and the necessary facilities (like supermarkets). We would definitely recommend staying at this place.

We had a very nice time at the villa & everything went well (check-in, cleaning during the stay, communication)! John (owner of the villa) is very friendly and easily reachable if there are any questions/ problems. The villa fits perfectly for a group of friends (we were 10) and contains everything you need for a nice holiday! I would recommend to rent a car so that you can discover the area aroun... more

We had a perfect stay in the Villa! Quite surrounding with a great view. Having a rental car is a plus but not a must. John was a great host who did everything to make the holiday unforgettable!

Unser Familienurlaub (4 Personen) haben wir in der Villa in vollen Zügen genossen. Die Villa ist sehr ansprechend, hat wundervolle Ausblicke auf das Meer und die Umgebung. Die Ausstattung ist sehr komfortabel und es war alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Von den Früchten auf dem Grundstück haben wir viel genascht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten auch immer einen Ansprechpartner für verschi... more

This villa was perfect for us - a group of 7 young people. There’s a great pool, pool table, games and beautiful views. It is a bit far out from anything but we hired a car and this made food shopping easy so it wasn’t a huge problem. All in all great villa, great hosts and we had a fab time!

it's a lovely house with a lot of extra's like the swimmingpool and the pooltable. Fresh lemons and figs right from the garden on your plate. Unfortunately we had soms inconvenience with the water but Mr Yannis was very helpfull to fix the problems. We had a lovely holiday.

Staying for two weeks in Villa Archos was an outstanding experience. What a beautiful large villa, location, view, pool and facilities around. Very quiet location with an fantastic view on the sea a few km away. It’s located very close to the beach and the beautiful town Rethymno where there is all you need: shops, restaurants, supermarket (10 minutes drive only), beaches, history and many more. T... more

We booked this villa for a 10 day stay in Crete with another family - the four bedrooms were perfect for that. Booking was easy, the owners were very helpful over email in sorting out the questions we had. When we arrived at the airport, I phoned the owner to let him know we were on our way. When we got to the villa he was there to meet us and had left a lovely platter of fresh fruits and chees... more

A very nice villa! And a very nice host! We have enjoyed our stay very much! Yiannis is such a nice person. The house has everything you need. when there was a problem the host was very helpful! The house is very huge. We stayed there with only four persons and it was like a big villa for us. We would come back again. Big thanks to the host. Hopefully we will see each other again someday ;)

The villa was great. Really enjoyed sitting up on the top terrace and watching the sunset. So much space and we were greeted with an amazing spread and some traditional Raki. Really thoughtful touches. Only downside was the lack of water in the mornings but that was a local issue.

The villa was fine and the owner Mr Yiannis was very nice at our arrival and very helpful in supplying us with some food and advice on where/what to do. The swimming pool was kept clean every night by the owner and the pool in the basement is a bonus to spend some time. Very nice experience and we hope to return soon.

We had an amazing trip and the villa was one of the best parts of it. The villa is locating in a beautiful area, surrounded by breathtaking vistas of mountains, olive trees and the sea in the horizon. The villa is secluded, and it takes only 12 minutes to reach Rethymno. We had a car and it was very easy to go to the supermarket, go out, and go to restaurants in the evenings. The villa has 3 floor... more

The villa was absolutely perfect for us, two families with 3 children in total. The divided space of the floors, the different areas to be on and play are great! The owner was incredibly friendly and offered us to help ourselves to all the fruit and vegetables growing on the grounds, which was really lovely: having such healthy and fun snacks for the children was really great. The villa was exactl... more

Fantastische vakantie villa! Je voelt je gelijk thuis en prima te doen met 8 man

Very lovely place! The villa has all you need and any extra wish is fullfilled with joy!

We booked the villas Archos for our wedding on the beach in July 2018 and it did not disappoint. It had beautiful views and was very peaceful and quite an idyllic location to chill out before the wedding. when we arrived we were met by the owner who had prepared some snacks and drinks for us, and put essentials in the fridge including raiki. On our second day we were contacted by the concierge M... more

Archos villa is really lovely - the pictures don't do it justice! There were 7 people in our party and there was plenty of space for everyone. The pool is a good size and the BBQ area is really nice. The villa was very well equipped with cutlery, plates etc and there was a fridge on each floor which proved handy. The location is fabulous - it feels very rural but is only a 10-15 minute drive to th... more

We had a wonderfull holiday! The house is very nice. The owner very kind en helpfull. The house was clean. The swimmingpool was great: we used it every day. The app we received from CreteVillas4U was nice and informative.

Wonderful place to share with friends and family (Posted on Tripadvisor We spent a wonderful 8 days in this villa. Our welcome pack was great, the location was panoramic and the resident cat a delight. 3 floors, loads of room, we cooked in and ate out.mall was fantastic. (Posted on Tripadvisor)

Really nice stay at the ARCHOS villa, 3 floors / independent appartments, pool, amazing view on the sea (10 min driving) and a really nice and friendly owner looking at giving you the best service possible ! Booked the cook at home for 4 dinners and had great Greek home made (in our kitchen) food also using the outside grill and the really nice pizza oven ! Food was excellent (thanks Maria !), the... more

Our stay at Archos Villa was a delight from the moment we arrived. It has an amazing vista overlooking the Aegean and due to being in the foothills near Rethymnon, a cool breeze wafts through the villa in the afternoon and evenings. The air-conditioning in the bedrooms works brilliantly (although not installed and not needed in the basement bedroom, due to it always being cool as it is built in... more

Wir wurden an unserem ersten Tag mit frischen Trauben, einheimischem Käse und Raki auf der wunderschönen Terasse mit Meerblick begrüsst. Der Vermieter des Hauses ist sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Er kam täglich vorbei und erkundigte sich wie es allen geht, als einer der Mitreisenden krank war bot er uns an uns zu den Ärzten zu begleiten um zu übersetzten und er las uns während de... more

Upon our arrival, I was preparing myself of the house being more worn down and dirty than the pictures. Pictures always lie, and I did not want to be disappointed. So I lovered my expectations, and hoped the house would be at least ok. However, what met us that evening, right after the sun set, was the perfect start to our two weeks holyday in beautiful Krete! The house owner, Gianis, and Manos, w... more

We(group of 9 people including 4 kids) stayed in the villa for a week and had a great time. All the facilities were up to the mark as mentioned in the website. The host/owner of the villa is a very polite and friendly person. The swimming pool has got lots of great inflatable toys for kids To stay in the villa a car is recommended (Posted on Tripadvisor)

Stayed with family and friends in early June for a week. The Pluses: 1. Great, Comfortable , Clean Villa with fabulous views. 2. Fantastic host.....stayed up late late at night to welcome us over chilled glasses of Raki ! Unlimited supplies of Olive Oiland the local brew throughout! 3. Great pool with lots and lots of toys for kids.. 4. Superbly equipped kitchen 5.Expansive Orchards! The Mi... more

Overall experience staying there one word would describe it all. Peaceful!! To be honest at the beginning i was afraid of the distance by looking in Google map but i found out that it was only 3 minutes from the main villages of adele & Pigi which had all that we wanted for the house. Cleaning service was typical for Greek standards, nothing too enthusiastic but not bad as well. The house inside i... more

We travelled last year to Crete and decided to stay at archos villa. It was the only place that suited for two families, had all the facilities we needed and yet was in a close distance from capital city (Rethymno). Definitely the best value for money ratio highly Recomended. (Posted on Tripadvisor)
