Realy a lovely place! Beatiful house and pool. Only ten minutes away from the beach. Very nice restaurants in the neighbourhood. We had a great stay here

This place couldn't be more perfect for a holiday in Crete with a big pool and excellent views- was just right for a holiday during corona as you can stay very self-contained with places delivering food! the local shop is a 10-15 min walk which sells most essentials but isn't very big, but Elena was very kind and put in food orders for us which they would come and deliver. there is also a local bu... more

This villa is just 10mins away from a nice beach, but secluded in the hills and olive groves - so only the sounds of cicadas can be heard - it was a perfect escape from the city and tourist hustle and bustle. Gorgeous sunset view and lovely, well maintained pool that provided everything we could need, with AC and blackout shutters to ensure comfortable night's rest. Hosts sent lots of recommendati... more

The villa was perfect for a 5 day break for my partner and I. We found the directions to the villa easy to follow and also used (Hidden by Airbnb) maps to assist. We arrived at the villa around midnight, however Elena was waiting for us and got some essentials for us such as coffee, sugar, milk, cheese, breads & fruit - a lovely touch. There were a few essential toiletries for our use. The villa w... more

Our experience of Villa Katifes was fantastic from the moment we arrived to when we left. The villa is superb, very clean, modern, well-equipped and everything works. Our host, Elena, texted regularly to check everything was OK. She called in a couple of times. Once to delver a delicious rabbit stew made by her mother and once with the freshest eggs I have ever eaten. The morning we left she came... more

It was a very nice stay at this comfy and well equipped villa. It's located on a hill which causes a beautiful view. In the small nearby villages you find little markets and the city Rethymnon is only 10 min by car. The renters were the kindliest I have ever met. To sum up it was a perfect stay at crete.

Wonderfull villa conform to the pictures, 20 min by car from rethymno, amazing view on the sea and landschape. The villa is well furnisched, beds are goods. Owners are nice people. A relaxing stay in family.

Incredible!! Stayed here with my partner and two friends and had the best time. The villa is incredible. Pretty much perfect. Great views, amazing pool, lovely rooms with air con and a bbq in the garden which we used most nights! Would stay here again for sure!

We only can recommend this villa. Published pictures are telling you the truth. There is a 2nd villa beside Villa Katifes which is a twin and irrespective which one you get, everything is amazing. Also the location itself and the great seaview will make your stay a great experience. Manos and his team are taking care of your reservation from the very beginning. They support you with many informat... more

Wir kommen wieder, wenn der Pool wieder beutzbar ist.

“The villa is brand new and gorgeous. The view cannot be beat. There are plenty of places close by to eat and buy groceries.”

We spent a perfect couple of days at the Villa which fully met all our expectations, it’s brand new, very stylish, very clean and the long distance views are just stunning. When we arrived or a host was waiting with some local dishes and he left us with one single text message about contained all necessary information that you need to get around: supermarkets, beaches, boats, you name it. Just per... more
