Villa Limeri is A True Gem in Inner Crete

We had a really fantastic stay at this villa. We are a family of four, with two children under five, and we all loved the space inside the villa (which could easily take another family), the veranda and the pool which, while shallow (1m?) for adults, is still a perfect plunge pool for cooling down and ideal for anyone with kids learning to swim. Little ones may also need to be watched near the ste... more

we had a great time at this quiet villa with magnificent view of the mountains and the sound of goat bells and cicadas. The house is nice and comfortable and we could found everything needed to cook great dinners taken in the peaceful scenary at sunset. Our hosts were very nice and helpful. We recommend this villa for families who seek relaxing time in nature. (yet you are only 15 minutes drive fr... more

Our stay at Limeri was excellent. It’s a beautiful spacious house with stunning views. Manos, Maria and her father were so accommodating and gave us some great recommendations on local restaurants, beaches, butchers and the fish market.

The place is very peaceful and quite. The view is amazing. Car is definitely needed. Hosts were perfect. Highly recommend.

It was wonderful at Villa Limeri. The house is as beautiful as on the photos. Of course the Villa and its interior is rustic but that is its charm and it was very clean. From the terrace you have a wonderful view on the mountains and at the pool you have pure silence and privacy. The agent Manos helped in every case and also the host Maria and her father were brilliant and always responsive. Tha... more

We stayed here for a week with the three of us (my wife and child of approx. 2.5 years old). We had a good welcome. It was a very beautifull villa with everything you need and a quite location in the middle of nature. When you enter the gate you have to drive a bit up to get to the villa. The only thing is that we felt scary and uncomfortable in the night because you are all alone on this high pl... more

Wir hatten einen unglaublich schönen Aufenthalt in Marias Villa. Begrüßt hat uns ihr Vater und in gebrochenem aber verständlichem Englisch die Vorzüge der Villa präsentiert. Der Ausblick vom Balkon war gigantisch. Für die morgendliche Meditation oder Yoga Session perfekt geeignet, da hier wirklich sehr viel Platz auch für mehrere Personen vorhanden ist. Es war sehr ruhig und für Leute die etwas au... more

Simply exquisite. Our own little paradise away from the noise and tourists. Nestled in the gorgeous mountains, this stunning and luxurious villa has breathtaking views and enough space for a large family. The service was wonderful, with shopping in the fridge in arrival and a wealth of helpful information provided to us ahead of our stay. Thank you to the hosts.

Nous avons passé une semaine merveilleuse dans cette maison dont la situation est tout à fait exceptionnelle, face à un magnifique panorama où on peut assister tout au long de la journée aux défilés des brebis et des chèvres. On se sent loin des foules des plagistes. La maison est bien faite, très pratique, autour d'un très grand living où le paysage est omniprésent. Un séjour idéal pour ceux qui ... more

Had a great 2 weeks here. very quiet and peaceful. Nice family who own the property. Well organised by Manos.

Nicest place to escape from everyday life! We loved it.

10 out of 10: Our stay at the Villa Limeri was an absolute delight. The owner Andreas, his daughter Maria and friend Vasilis were utmost helpful and gave us great tipps for some of the highlights this area has to offer. Questions were promplty answered and they did more than we ever expected, to make our stay pleasurable. The house was spotless, the beds comfy and big and the Welcome drink greatly... more

We spent a wonderful 10 days in this stunning mountain top villa. Andreas and Maria were very welcoming on our arrival and Manos and the team at CreteVillas4U were brilliant (I wouldn’t hesitate to book through this company again). If you are looking for peace and tranquility with just the sounds of nature around you (cicadas, goat bells and the occasional goat herder call) then this is the place ... more

The property and views were amazing more than we could have expected. Maria was brilliant We loved staying at Limeri it was perfect for relaxing and enjoying our families needs. The views were amazing, sounds of goat bells and wildlife made it such a special place. The star gazing on the vast veranda was spectacular. We loved Rocky the very friendly dog which guarded us from down the hill. No b... more

Lovely little gem of a place, not overlooked and beautiful views, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We received a very warm welcome from the owner and his family. They were always available if needed. The house itself has wonderful views of the countryside and has everything you need, just as if u were at home. We arrived in June and the weather was very warm. It was great to escape into the pool although unheated because of the summer temperatures it was lovely. If your looking to escape fr... more

Limeri Villa was such a lovely place to spend our time in Crete! Up in the hills among the shepherds, it was an idyllic, peaceful home for us to relax after spending our days exploring Crete. The views are incredible and the villa itself is elegantly designed. We had everything we needed, including fresh eggs, milk, and yoghurt kindly delivered from a local farm courtesy of the owner. We thoroughl... more

Limeri villa is very spacious and extremely comfortable. It was very clean when we arrived and we were met by the owners who were very welcoming. The picture of the swimming pool shown on the website is inaccurate. A new terrace has been added giving a fabulous sitting/eating area under the trees over looking the pool. There is a large BBQ with a good range of cooking equipment. The views fro... more

A true jewel inside the hills. You can listen to the sounds of sheep and goats and enjoy the georgous views. So much room inside and outside! Fully equipped with lots of facilities, lots of towels and super clean bed linen. Maria and Andreas welcomed us warmly and Andreas looked after the outside area perfectly! The only downside was that we had to always keep an eye on our two smallest travellers... more

We rented this house for four weeks. Andreas was a gracious host, who welcomed us with local produce and raki when we arrived. The house is quite nice and fully functional, and the views are absolutely stunning. We live in a city and it was really nice for us and our three year old daughter to spend time in a rural setting [the sheep with their tinkling bells were a huge highlight for her!]. It wa... more

Fantastisk hus med en vidunderlig beliggenhed i bjergene. Meget søde og hjælpsomme værter.

We have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at Villa Limeri and wish we could still be there! (We are a family of four with two kids aged 7) The villa itself is very impressive. As soon as you walk in you are met with the most amazing view, a real wow factor. The ground floor has a double bedroom, large bathroom (with washing machine - washing powder/detergent all provided) and a huge double... more

Belle destination Un peu éloigné des plages du sud il faut compter 1h00 pour y acceder Bien pour 6 personnes

La maison est très agréable, nous sommes restés 10 jours et c’était vraiment parfait. Le point de vue depuis la maison est magique, la piscine est suffisament grande. Le terrain entourrant la maison est grand. La maison se situe dans un petit village très tranquille. Aucun vis avis. Endroit vraiment très tranquille.

This villa is perfect. Stunning scenery and ambiance. So peaceful. Perfect in every way to get total calm. The stars were amazing, the roaming goats delightful, the views inspirational and the pool a delight. Lovely and spacious. Great service and communication. A true treat. Thanks.

In der Nähe von Rethymno mit himmlischer Ruhe Wir kamen um ca. 22:30 Uhr in der Villa Limeri an. Mit den GPS-Daten, die wir von Manos erhalten hatten, war sie auch nachts problemlos zu finden. Uns erwartete der Besitzer Andreas mit seiner Tochter Maria. Die Begrüssung war sehr herzlich und ein Begrüssungs-Apéro nach Griechischer Art (Käse, Oliven, Tomaten, Brot, Trauben und Raki) wartete auf u... more

We enjoyed the location and peaceful setting, if anything the outside space was better that is captured in the pictures. There is a balcony (not suitable for toddlers) out from the kitchen for a meal as the sun sets, and the lower terraces with outside chairs at various levels. Pool was a cool, but that is what you need when temperatures soar. Crete took a lot of driving to get to a variety of lo... more

We were one week in the villa Limeri (two adults and two children - age 2 and 7). The villa had everything what we needed. Was very nice designed and placed so great, that we could have a breakfest at the terrace with the great vier over the mountains. It is very quiet area with only herds of sheeps spoiling the silence. The pool at the villa was also clean and well maintained. The location is per... more

We spent two weeks at Villa Limeri. The house is a lifetime's dream of Andreas who built it (and is still building around it) for the last 12 years, creating an impressive three bedroom / two bathroom house with a over 60sqm living room/kitchen overlooking one of the magnificent valleys between Réthymnon and Plakias. The house is totally isolated, on top of a valley around 100 meters below and a b... more

Lovely house in a fantastic location, only half an hour from Rethymno but in the peace and tranquility of the mountains. The downstairs living area is amazing, with incredible views on all sides. The kitchen is well equipped and Manos and colleagues made us feel incredibly welcome - just a shame we didn't manage to meet Manos in the flesh (due to our mistake!). The information on local sights and ... more

The villa was as brilliant as the pictures showed. Everything was clean and we were met at the house upon arrival and showed around. All the facilities were to a really high standard. We were given recommendations for where to eat and the ones we tried all turned out to be delicious. The views and surrounding countryside was completely idilic and was perfect for a week get away. The southern coast... more

Fabulous house in the campaign at 15 min from rethymno. We were 6 with my child (3) and my mother (1) (80 years old). The house is very comfortable, very spacious and with all utilities needed (clim, tv, etc..) The view is fantastic, no neighbourgh. it's very quiet (except sheeps and the song of cigadas : we are in crete !!). Just 2 precisions : - it's not a house for very Young childs (not... more

We spent a wonderful week at Villa Limeri, enjoying Manos' and Andreas' kind hospitality. The villa itself is something quite special both inside and out - impeccably maintained with spectacular views all around. Amazing views of the hills and mountains by day and the stars at night. A real retreat for those that like to get away from it all. (Posted on Tripadvisor)

Even thought we come from Crete, we where looking for a place to chill and relax. And we found it! Villa Limeri was exacly what we where looking for. The panoramic view from the villa is the highlight of our stay and also the piece and quiet that is offering is unique. Furthurmore at night there is no lights around but only the villas which make very romantc atmosphaire. Adreas and Manos was there... more

exceptionally beautiful villa, situated in a private area. perfect for getaways with your family, friends or just a peaceful couples retreat. Manos is an amazing host, ever so helpful providing us with directions, suggestions for places to see, eat and even board games. i would go as far as to say the villa is better than advertised as in reality the high ceilings and brilliant decor mean it is mu... more

Villa Limeri is a beautiful building-built from solid local stone, and stylishly decorated with an epic, architectural, modern feel. The location is extraordinary-perched on top of the valley overlooking mountains and goat pastures. The windows are huge and give a panoramic view which is wonderful to wake up to. At night you can only hear the sound of goat bells. I found the hospitality and leve... more
