Zouridi Traditional Villa in Rethymno Crete

The house is absolutely amazing. Perfect place for a family group vacations. Hosts are very nice, very helpfull. It's a quiet place, a base from where you can make small tours around the island (Episkopi beach and Rethimno- must see). Small "but" - it's a little too hot in some rooms in a lower part of the building during the night (we were visiting in July). The AC is not sufficiant enough there.

Our big family of 5 children aged 1 - 18, four parents and grandma spent 2 weeks in Zouridi. Nothing could have been better. The house including all outdoor areas is really large to fit a big group day and night and the pool is great! Kids loved the sheep and Dafni the horse around, just like picking oranges from a tree and juicing them in the morning. Surroundings is beautiful and it's only 20 mi... more

A beautiful villa with a lovely host. The villa consists of several apartments which was perfect for our group. The views from the villa are amazing!

We spend a week in de Zouridi villa with four families. Our stay was amazing and I would highly recommend the villa to other groups. The outside area of the villa is wonderful with a great view and lots of space to sit in the sun or in the shade. The swimming ppol was the best we ever had, we and the kids spend a lot of time in it and enjoyed every bit of it. It is large, very clean, and the water... more

“Wow! I highly recommend staying here. It was absolutely amazing and felt as though we had are own section of the world. I went with my friends and the hosts were amazing, so thoughtful and friendly. We weren’t able to hire a car as we were all 20, but taxis were easily booked and although out the way (private) the villa is close to everything. The village people were so friendly. There is a close... more

“We had a great time! Great place for a birthday celebration.”

Our family was so thrilled that we stumbled upon staying at this lovely villa. We could not have had a more wonderful and restful vacation. From my initial inquiry, Manos Dafermos, who manages a large group of villas, was extremely responsive and informative. He was able to provide a great list of things to do while we were on our visit to Crete. He connected us with car rental and transfer servic... more

The villa is placed about 20 minutes from the nearest beach, with fanastic view over the landscape. Good place to live if you want to do daily trips to both the south and north coast. The villa has a big nice pool, bbq area and bar outside. Walking distance to a nice traverna and a few km to nearest mini market. I would warmly recommend the villa to anyone!

We spent an amazing week in Villa Zouridi with our family (11 persons, 3 generations). The house gave us plenty of space and was nice and clean. Our hosts, Giannis and Despina, were a fantastic couple and did everything for us. The local tavern, just 5-10 minutes walk away, was excellent and we loved the meals there. The pool was the best possible, so large; we loved it all of us! Nearest be... more

We had a wonderful time in Crete in Easter 2017. We were 10 people, 6 adults and 4 children, and we all agree that the house in Zouridi is great in every way. It is a lovely house and with lot of space. We enjoyed that there was room both for privacy and room for being togehter. The rooms are big and light and the bathrooms are fine. On a scale from 1 to 10, we give 10. The surroundings are great,... more

We, the whole group (10) were very happy with the accommodation. It is a little out but this one should already note in his book. Must try the great tradionelle Cretan breakfast. Much love to the nice host Pina and Yiannis. Efcharisto for everything and still have a good time with euerem house. Many greetings from Germany to Zouridi.

We had an amazing time with some very hospitable hosts. They were very kind and gave us a lot of ideas of where to go on the Island. Quite a way out from the beach but as long as you have a hire car: you're fine! A great experience of Crete. (Posted on HouseTrip)

Manos is a great host, there was a good and communication between us by mail.From the first moment on there was a sincere interest to make our vacation successful He helped us very much when we had problems with the carcompagny. He arranged proper transport for us from Heraklion to the villa. we were very happy afterwards; if we had to drive ourself during that lately hour , i think it will cause ... more

We spent such a nice, relaxing week in Zouridi and loved swimming in the pool, creating cocktails at the poolside bar and cooking up big BBQs on the grill. Yiannis and his wife (who also live on site) were helpful and even drove us to the nearest beach one day (which was brilliant and well recommended). There's a friendly taverna about a 5-10min walk from the villa and we had some really good meal... more

The house is top, very clean and friendly. Children (and adults) loved the pool and the sun beds ... Very quiet with all the amenities. The sea is very close (20 min drive). The climate and especially Cretan hospitality is exceptional! We will keep very good memories owners Yannis and his wife. Very caring people with a big heart. Vacations ... again!
