Perfekt, super Empfang und Einweisung durch den sehr netten Vermieter. Tolle Villa in guter Lage. Jederzeit wieder!

Beautiful villa, finished to a very high standard. The pool was the perfect for my daily laps and for our four teenage boys to play in. I was a little worried based on the photos, but it was even better in person. There are great restaurants nearby and Rethymno is only 20 minutes away, but one of our favourite thing about the area was being just a five-minute drive from a brilliant Padel club. Th... more

From unfailing communication, help with rental car issues, flexibility to wait for our arrival and a personal welcome with traditional Cretan cheese, bread and drink-Manos is an incredible host and human. To say MesaGaia is beautiful doesn’t do it justice. Manos and his wife have decorated their holiday home with class and impeccable taste. From spacious spa like bathrooms for every bedroom, a pr... more

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Manos is an exceptional host – he gave us a very warm welcome, greeted us with a selection of delicious local treats, and took the time to explain everything we needed to know. Throughout our stay, he was always kind, attentive, and available whenever we needed anything. The villa is beautiful, tastefully furnished, and exceptionally well equipped. You can t... more

We have just had the most wonderful week at Manos’s beautiful villa. It’s not often you book somewhere and the place is even better than the photos (and the photos are already brilliant!) Manos is a truly brilliant host - from communication when booking through to checking out. A real standout point is Manos greeting you at the villa and making you feel at home straight away. My 6 year old adored... more

Beautiful, Luxury Villa. This is athe place to book if you want luxury and a 'wow' factor when you arrive. All 4 bedrooms had outside space and an ensuite, no one in your group will have a poor room. The bedrooms are well furnished with plenty of hangers and nice toiletries. The living space is fabulous, great for relaxing with friends - the games area is fantastic and we had a great evening pl... more

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful villa as a family in April, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the very first moment, we felt incredibly welcome. The host greeted us with genuine warmth and a selection of delicious local treats, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. It immediately made us feel at home and set the tone for a truly wonderful stay. The villa i... more

One of my all time favourite stays! The villa is even more stunning in person, it is clearly lovingly & thoughtfully designed and it made our stay in Crete even more memorable. Fantastic heated pool, outdoor dining area, jacuzzi, ensuite bathrooms, games room and a well stocked kitchen all within a beautiful, peaceful location with a delicious taverna that is walking distance and a 15 minute drive... more

Worth repeating! Everything was arranged fantastically. It really felt like a warm bath!

Manos was the perfect host. Very attentive and friendly. All needs were met and had great recommendations for food places. Couldn’t have asked for a better host.

The villa was absolutely amazing! Located right on the beach, it had everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. The amenities were excellent – from the modern kitchen to the comfortable bedrooms and the spacious outdoor area with a stunning sea view. The location was especially impressive: just a few steps from the beach, allowing you to enjoy the sound of the ocean at any time. The... more

100% recommendation. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. The host was very friendly and helpful. His villa is also wonderful, very clean, beautiful, and of excellent quality. Thank you so much for the great time.

We had an absolutely amazing stay and truly can’t wait to return! The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need. It was clear a lot of thought went into making guests feel at home. Manos gave us the warmest welcome and even left a variety of thoughtful goodies for us to enjoy during our stay. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, as well as nearby... more

A wonderful stay, at a superb villa. Lots of things to do around the house, especially for kids. Fabulous Bbq area. Great views etc. Manos was a wonderful host and all highly recommended.

We had an amazing vacation. We were a family of 8. Manos' villa was clean and well-equipped and we enjoyed every moment. The villa in reality is much better than what you see in the pictures. The pool was heated and the sea is within touching distance. We couldn't dream of a better villa. Communication with Manos was good and he was available to us for everything. We had an amazing experience and ... more

I’m not sure I can speak highly enough of both the villa and our host, Manos! We booked for 4 couples and from the very start Manos answered any query we had with detail and provided lots of local information etc. Our flight was already due to land later in the evening but was delayed taking off, but this was no problem for Manos who arranged to meet us at the villa upon arrival and provided us wi... more

We found exactly what we expected. Villa Mesogaia is modern and comfortably designed and equipped both inside and out. The villa leaves nothing to be desired. Thank you, Manos, you were a gracious host and made us feel very welcome, and you were available to us at any time. We felt completely at home.

A very beautiful villa located directly on a quiet beach. Supermarkets and restaurants are nearby and can be easily reached on foot. The outdoor area of ​​the villa is beautifully landscaped and equipped with sun loungers, a comfortable seating area, a large pool, and a gas grill. Upon entering the villa, you are greeted by a beautiful gallery with a high ceiling, which immediately adjoins the liv... more

Luxuriously relaxing villa filled with Crete’s laidback island vibe conveniently located near the quaint town of Rethymno. We’ve stayed in quite a few villas around the Mediterranean and Meso Gaia is by far the best of the best. Beautifully appojnted, everything you could possibly need in a villa, great location, and a fantastic and helpful host in Manos. It’s hard to consider anywhere else for n... more

We had a fantastic holiday thanks to great accommodation with numerous opportunities for relaxation. Everything was perfect: a great, large, clean pool, a well-equipped kitchen, and you could feel very comfortable both indoors and outdoors!

Absolutely wonderful! The villa was beautiful, very clean, and perfectly equipped – nothing was missing. The pool was a real highlight: well-maintained and perfect for relaxing. A few restaurants were within walking distance, which was super convenient. The host was very friendly, helpful, and always available. We felt completely at home and would come back again. Highly recommended!

*5-Star Review:* Excellent, luxurious Airbnb — even better than the photos! The Villa was super well equipped, with everything we needed (and more!) for a really comfortable stay. The location was peaceful and quiet, with a lovely sea view, and we found great restaurants within a 10–15 minute walk. There's a local supermarket right on your doorstep, and a Lidl just a 10-minute drive away. Manos wa... more

We had the most amazing family holiday and Manos was the perfect host. He gave us lots of suggestions and was very responsive when we had questions. The villa is stunning with everything of the highest quality We would highly recommend this beautiful villa!

The villa was absolutely stunning and had been designed with such an eye for detail. The villa was also immaculate and cleaned regularly throughout our stay. The villa itself had everything you could possibly want, the pool and hot tub were exceptional and the facilities were just as pictured. The games room was a particular favourite of ours. The host was also fabulous! He met us upon arri... more

The host was helpful before, during and even after our stay. The welcome we received was fantastic and really set the tone for our stay. We had no issues during our stay but felt comfortable enough to message if needed. Amazing villa & worth every penny!

We hebben met 6 volwassenen en 2 kinderen deze villa gehuurd in de week van Pasen. Naar aanleiding van de foto's waren we al enthousiast maar de werkelijkheid overtrof onze verwachtingen. Mamos , de zeer vriendelijke eigenaar, verwelkomde ons met een tafel vol Griekse lekkernijen en traditionele Griekse paascadeaus. Tijdens de rondleiding vielen we van de ene in de andere verbazing. De vil... more

The villa was outstanding and amazing we have stayed in lots of villas all over the world and this has been the best. The standard of service and care by Manos and the team was superb. We can’t wait to come back

From the moment we got there, Villa Mesogaia was absolutely sensational. Our host, Manos, welcomed us all with open arms and warming hospitality with a hamper of local olives, cheese, cakes, bread, icecream for the kids and much more! It was delicious and very much appreciated! Manos, we thank you for your lovely villa. It had everything we needed. The pool was our favourite part with hours spent ... more

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Meso Gaia in mid - late October 2024. The villa is immaculate and wonderful to have all bedrooms ensuite. The check in and check out process went completely smoothly and Menios was extremely quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. The area is close to Rethymnon, which we enjoyed visiting. There were lots of supermarkets and bakeries within ... more

The location and accommodations were impeccable. Manos greeted us with a tour of the Mesogaia Villa and some food and drink. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi and the rooms and beds were very comfortable. Great view of the sea. We also loved the game room downstairs.

Fabulous Villa! Exceeded our expectations. Excellent host who was very accommodating. The villa had spectacular ocean views and provided a peaceful environment. Local restaurants were excellent and just a few minutes walk from the villa. The entire family had a wonderful vacation. There was so much to do with local tours and Manos gave us several recommendations. We would love to return in the fut... more

Manos is an amazing person who's always there to help whenever you need it. Whether it's for activities like boat rides, ATV adventures, or restaurant recommendations, Manos gives the best advice. The pool was super clean, every room had its own bathroom, and overall, everything was just great! The villa was just like the photos, if not even better. Everything was clean and perfect.

+ Eine 10/10! Die Villa ist ein absoluter Traum und sehr luxuriös und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es fehlte wirklich an nichts. Von Küchenausstattung, über Baby/Kinder-Zubehör wie Hochstuhl, Babybett etc. bis hin zum Spieleraum (mit einer übrigens wahnsinnig großen Auswahl) war echt alles im Haus, was einem den Aufenthalt dort so einfach macht. Besonders toll ist der Pool (es gibt einen großen und... more

What an amazing holiday. Mesogaia is the most beautiful house and has provided the perfect destination for our two families to play, relax and unwind. Adults and children all are so sad to be leaving but are left with unforgettable memories. Manos - Mesogaia is a huge credit to you and your family, everything has been thought of. We would love to return xx

Words cannot describe our experience staying at Manos’s Villa. He went to great lengths to welcome us. The Villa was significantly better than described. Manos takes pride in his Villa and clearly puts in a LOT of work to maintain and stock it with anything and everything a family with young kids can think of. Highly recommend this property. You have to see it to believe it. Thank you so much Mano... more

Nous avons loué la villa pour une semaine à 2 couples. Accueil très chaleureux avec des petites attentions crétoises à notre arrivée. La villa correspond en tous points à la description. Tout est pensé pour que les locataires passent un excellent séjour ; la maison d'architecte est magnifique ; la literie est très bonne. Un plus pour cette magnifique piscine et ses aménagements extérieurs. Le coin... more

Dies war meine erste Buchung über Airbnb, normalerweise nehmen wir Villen in den Hotelanlagen aber als ich diese Villa gesehen habe wollte ich es einfach ausprobieren. Ich kann es wirklich jedem empfehlen, der gerne auf Qualität achtet und sein Urlaub gehoben genießen möchte. Manos hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen, hatte Kleinigkeiten zum Essen vorbereitet und einiges schon für uns eingekauft. Das ... more

I dont know where to start… Villa Mesogaia is a dream and does Not leave any wishes open. U can feel the love for the details in every corner! The Villa is flooded by light due to the big glassfronts, that also gives u a 100% privacy because nothig is in Front of you! It was also very clean and the most important thing for us that it was also very kid friendly so Perfect for Families. Manos p... more

It was absolutely amazing, everything was perfect. Manos welcomed us with local food, he was always very reactive on our demand. If there is someone you need to know before coming in Crète it’s him ! The villa is also perfect, during all my stays in many different airbnb around the world I have never been welcomed that well, and be that satisfied with a villa. Thank you Manos for everything :)
