La vie crétoise au village à la Villa Katifes près de Réthymnon

We are delighted with our stay at Kyrianna. The villa is sumptuous, clean and perfectly matches the description. Elena and the staff are very attentive and do everything to ensure your stay goes wonderfully. Please note, the access path is easy but steep. And for those who wish to be alone, a similar villa is attached to this one. We hope to see you again and thank you again for everything ? Marie... plus

Lovely place excellent hosts and communciation really enjoyed the villa location was wonderful although dont expect to use the pool daily if visiting from october onwards.

Die Villa ist sehr schön und hat einen tollen Pool. In der Villa war alles sehr sauber und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Einige schöne Überraschungen wurden uns gemacht, z.B. war der Kühlschrank bei Ankunft schon mit ein paar Lebensmitteln gefüllt und frisches Obst stand bereit.

Beautiful property. We would stay again.

We had a great 10 night stay here as a family of four. The villa has the most beautiful views which we got to enjoy every day and the pool was amazing. Thank you!

Die Unterkunft entsprach genau den Bildern und der Beschreibung! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und Elena war wirklich zuvorkommend und war immer schnell erreichbar! Da wir einen Mietwagen hatten, war alles gut erreichbar für uns, ich kann die Unterkunft definitiv weiterempfehlen!

Manos was a great host and the villa was outstanding, clean, well maintained, very helpful host from booking to departure. We will be recommending to everyone.

Wir haben schon viele Ferienhäuser gemietet. In Spanien, Italien, Frankreich und den USA, aber selten haben wir und so wohl und willkommen gefühlt, wie in diesem Haus! Die Villa ist einfach super. Die Verwaltung von Manos sehr gut, professionell und freundlich. Die Betreuung von Elena und ihrem Mann vor Ort war einfach spitze! Und zu guter letzt sind Kreta und die Griechen einfach unglaublich gast... plus

Fantastic holiday destination . Beautiful surroundings and peaceful. Awesome villa would recommend to anyone.

We had an awesome time at manos‘ place. The Villa was beautiful, manos and his team were super friendly and quick in responding. Looking forward to staying there soon!

Sehr schöne neuwertige Villa mit schönem Pool. Ruhig und sauber. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Einfach toll! Wir wurden mit selbstgemachten Olivenöl und Raki persönlich empfangen und haben uns gleich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Eine sehr ruhige ländliche Gegend mit einem weitläufigen Blick bis zum Meer. Es hat an nichts gefehlt und wären gern noch länger geblieben. Wärmstens zu empfehlen.

Un très bon séjour une villa impeccable et une hôte très accueillante. je recommande.

Elena is a good hostess. She also provided us some fruits on the first day and gave us a tour of the villa. We arrived later, but she waited for us to check in. We communicated over the telephone, which was quick and clear. The villa is well equiped with home essiatials and everything was clean and organised. We liked the swimming pool a lot, especially the kids because they wanted to swim every h... plus

We absolutely loved the Villa. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The views were incredible and we had a wonderful 10 days exploring the area and chilling by the pool. Elena was very helpful and even brought us a delicious dinner one evening. The local area was fantastic-Kirianna is a charming village and Pigianos Kampos was brilliant with super restaurants and beaches. We par... plus

The villa is amazing with beautiful views. Elena is and excellent host. She replied to emails right away and even provided some delicious treats. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation.

We had the perfect holiday at Villa Katifes. We stayed with three young children. The house was spotless, the pool was brilliant and the host was amazing. The location was great. We couldn’t fault the place. Elena regularly checked in and was on hand to answer any questions. She even dropped round delicious homemade treats. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. Crete was a beautiful place.

Beautiful house, well equipped and kitted up with good taste. Modern, it is a recent build, and fully furnished with a great Patio and outside swimming pool, perfectly maintained. Elena, the property owner, is a sweetheart and she would satisfy any requests. Not impressed by Crete, if it were not for the beautiful beaches, but the house made the difference and contributed massively to make our hol... plus

Tolle Unterkünft, die mit nur einem direkten Nachbarhaus, sehr ruhig gelegen ist und sehr modern und großzügig ausfällt. Elena ist eine hilfreiche Gastgeberin, die man jeder Zeit erreichen kann und die die ein oder andere Überraschung für ihre Gäste bereithält. Wir hatten insgesamt eine sehr schöne Zeit und können die Villa nur empfehlen! :)

Wir hatten (4 Erwachsene) eine tolle Zeit in der Villa! Schönes Haus, tolle Aussicht und angenehm ruhig. Durch Elena und Ihren Mann hatten wir eine gute Betreuung vor Ort und es fehlte an nichts. Elena ließ es sich nicht nehmen, auch mal hier und da ein Präsent vorbei zu bringen. Danke für die schöne Zeit :-)

Alles war perfekt. Die Villa ist genau wie auf den Bildern. Einfach wunderschön. Alles war sauber, frisches Obst und ein paar Getränke waren auch schon in der Villa bereitgestellt. Von der Ankunft bis zur Abreise war alles super unkompliziert. Es war ein wunderbarer Urlaub. Wir sind sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder.

Ein sehr schönes Anwesen bei Rethymnon mit unglaublich aufmerksamen Gastgebern. Sehr sauber, regelmäßige Poolreinigung, nette Bereitstellung eines Essenspaketes bei Ankunft. Sehr gerne wieder :)

We had a wonderful time at the villa. It has everything you need for a great vacation. The pool area and outside sitting areas are excellent. The location is so peaceful and quiet and you can see the sea from the villa. The villa was extremely clean and Elena was amazing. She is very knowledgable about the area and was able to answer all our questions. She even made us a Greek dinner one evening w... plus

My wife and x2 sons (both under 10 years of age) have had the best family holiday yet at. Everything about the Villa is perfect for a family holiday. The villas facilities are kept to the highest standards throughout, the spaces in the Villa are perfectly conducive for the ultimate family holiday. The location is also fantastic - it’s close enough to lots of activities and restaurants to provide a... plus

This is a perfect home away from home location especially if you have a family. The home is clean and sizeable. Good communication in regards to checking in and they were so sweet to leave us some refreshments on arrival. Good Pool size, the kids had a lot of fun in it. If you rent this home make sure that you rent a car as its a little bit out of the way.

This is a beautiful villa in a beautiful location (in fact there are two identical villas next door to each other on their own plot) - the photos match the reality and you will not be disappointed if you stay here. It is modern, high quality build and has everything you could possibly need! (Including a washing machine!). The views are special and the environment is peaceful and relaxing. The pool... plus

We were a family of three, and we had looked forward to our stay in Crete for ages. The house is beautifully situated, well equipped and answered our expectations. Elena was very hospitable and took care of any of our questions and wishes super quickly. She even pampered us with Greek food! We felt very well taken care of, and we are very grateful to Elena for her hospitality! The house and hos... plus

Manos’s place is amazing, we loved our stay and would definitely come back. Our host Elena was especially accommodating. A great stay.

Our hosts, Elena and Manos, were so, so kind, thoughtful, and responsive. The villa has everything and is as beautiful as it looks in the listing’s photos. The location is perfectly between everything we wanted to see on Crete in the North, South, and Western sides of the island by car.

Das Ferienhaus ist wirklich ein Traum! Wunderschön eingerichtet, super ausgestattete Küche und ein traumhafter Außenbereich mit tollem Pool. Elena und ihr Mann sind sehr gastfreundlich. Anreise- und Abreise waren super unkompliziert. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen.

Wir waren Ende Mai 2022 für zwei Wochen in der Villa! Einen besseren Ort hätten wir für unseren Aufenthalt auf Kreta nicht aussuchen können. Das Haus war genau wie auf den Bildern, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Leben braucht. Der Ausblick aufs Meer ist ganz besonders, insbesondere bei Sonnenuntergang. Die Gastgeber Elena und Stelios waren herausragende Gastgeber und haben und... plus

Pas de surprise : la maison est superbe; spacieuse avec une terrasse et une piscine très agréables (même si froide en avril) ; les équipements de la maison sont au top ( cuisine , Sdb...) . Elle se trouve à 10 minutes de Rethymno ou on trouve tous les magasins et restos que l'on veut. Notre séjour a été égayé par l'aide et l'accueil de Elena : charmante et généreuse hôtesse ( merci pour tout Elena... plus

Beautiful modern villa really well located for getting around Crete, well equipped, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The holiday was really made amazing by the CreteVillas4U team, especially Menios who organised such a romantic private sunset boat dinner for us around Rethymo harbour. We found the pool quite cold at the time of year we went as it is breezy up there and the sun gets blocked b... plus

The house and your stay was perfect. The view from the top floor is just what you need to get relexed. but also the lower floor with the Pool, Living Room and kitchen is very nice and you can lay on a sunbed and enjoy the view of the ocean. We had one day of bad weather, but the house is so comfy that it was still a nice day. Elena and her husband, your contact for the house, did everyth... plus

We have spent 3 fantastic weeks in villa Katifes which is one of the very best we've rented so far in Greece. The house was perfectly meeting the description and the pictures was in perfect shape, clean and equipped with everything which is needed. The view from garden, pool and the numerous terraces is really fantastic and the location near Kyrianna village is quite and very convenient. The ow... plus

Die Fotos geben das Haus gut wieder. Die Lage ist etwas abgelegen, aber gerade in Corona-Zeiten damit auch sicher, genau was wir wollten. Die Ansprechpartner vor Ort sind sehr hilfreich und aktiv. Man fühlt sich wirklich klasse betreut.

Wir verbrachten zu viert (2 Erwachsene+2 Jugendliche 19 J ) 2 wunderschöne Wochen in dieser traumhaft schönen Villa. Wir wurden von der hochschwangeren Elena ( Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Baby ! ) sehr freundlich empfangen und es stand auch ein Willkommenspaket mit vielen Leckereien bereit. Die Villa sieht genauso aus, wie auf den Fotos und man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Es hat uns wirklich an nichts ... plus

Einfach ein Träumchen. Wir haben zu viert zehn fabelhafte Tage in der Villa verbracht. Unser Host Elena hat uns herzlich in der Villa empfangen und sie und ihr Mann waren sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir sind sogar in den Genuss einer hausgemachten, griechischen Leckerei gekommen. Auch Manos hat bei Anfragen super schnell weitergeholfen. Die Villa ist wunderschön und super ausgestattet. Ei... plus

Alles war bestens! Mega schöne villa mit tollem Blick. Der Pool war auch super sauber und manos Frau war für alle Fragen und sonstiges über (Hidden by Airbnb) erreichbar. Check in und check out war auch super einfach und es gab wirklich nichts zu bemängeln!

Le logement était magnifique et d’une propreté impeccable !!! Nous avions d’un côté le calme car il n’y avait rien autour de nous et de l’autre côté nous étions à 15-20 minutes de la ville rethymnon ( superbe) Je tiens encore à remercier manos pour ses bon tuyaux et ses conseils. Il nous a conseillé sur les plus belles activités et meilleurs restaurant. Merci aussi à la propriétaire qui était au p... plus

O locație la care ne-am întoarce fara sa stăm pe gânduri ! Complet utilată, locație nouă, tot ce îți dorești pt un concediu relaxant ! Am mers cu bebe (8luni) și doamna ne-a făcut tot confortul ( pătuț, căruț, jucării, colac pt piscina , scăunel pt baie, scaun de masa) . Persoane care îți rămân în suflet și minte ! Ne vom întoarce negreșit !

Que dire ? La villa est superbe, la vue vous relax les espaces de vie sont agréables et spacieux la cuisine est ultra équipée, les chambres et les lits sont confortables, la piscine est grande, ... L'hôte, manos est très agréable et très arrangeant. Pour ce qui est de la communication sur place Elena a été parfaite, de petites attentions, toujours à l'écoute et souriante ! Je recommande à 100% !

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... plus

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... plus

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... plus

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... plus

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... plus

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... plus

Thank you very much for the great hospitality, Manos. We really enjoyed every day in the villa, especially the great terrace and the two (!) pools. One for the kids and one for the adults. Definitely a recommendation from our side.

we had a warm welcome by Menios and Maria and were very helpfull during the stay in the house. the region it selves is very nice, 15 minutes from Rethymnon, so out of the crowded touristic places but nearby to go out for shopping or eating. the house is perfect with a nice view, nice pool, accomodations fulfill he needs, and the airco works 100% . location is good for doing some trips to the so... plus

From booking the holiday through to leaving the villa on our last day it has been a great experience. Fast communication from Manos & Menios, answering questions and being sent information on local restaurant recommendations and attractions. We were welcomed by the owners sister who gave us the warmest of welcomes and showed us around this luxurious villa and answered any questions we had and we w... plus
