The villa was fantastic and in an excellent location to explore the beauty of Crete. The local village has surprising restaurants and the near by town of Rethymno is amazing day and night. The villa was wonderfully clean and Joanna an excellent host. We would highly recommend staying here!

Friends explore Greece

This is a great home for a family or group of friends. The view from the pool and terrace is exceptional and the local town has some really great restaurants. It is a beautiful home, well located to explore this great island!! I can't say enough about Joanna, her communication with us was exceptional. She gave us great recommendations and was kind enough to leave us supper for our late arrival. We were so lucky to have met her as well. I will be back :)

Wonderful location in a quiet and pleasant part of the island. Joanna was great with her communication and hospitality. The villa is clean and tidy with plenty of equipment needed for a stay. There are plenty of beach options nearby and the city is easy to reach where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The pool at the villa is lovely, private and clean. The equipment provided around the pool is great quality. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms have great views down to the sea. The kitchen has plenty of equipment that is needed for a stay and the living area is nicely laid out. Outside there are plenty of places to sit and eat and a garden to explore. Highly recommended for those who want to get away from it all, but want to be close enough to civilisation when needed.

Joanna is a very welcoming and incredibly helpful host. Our flight was delayed and we had problems with our hire car booking with Europcar - they wouldnt allow us to move it to the following day, so we had to cancel or incur the full cost as a no- show fee.I texted Joanna from Manchester airport asking for taxi and car hire recommendations. Within 20mins Joanna had arranged a minibus to pick us up from the airport at midnight and a hire car to be delivered to the villa the next day.When we arrived at the villa, Joanna had also left some food in the fridge for us.The villa was beautiful, very clean and had stunning views. We had a fabulous holiday - thank you Joanna.

Tolle Villa und hervorragende Gastgeber

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen, die Villa ist toll, der Pool ein Traum. Die Gastgeberin hatte gute Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung und gute Strände. Wir können die Villa Aeolos uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Einfach nur traumhaft schön

Die Unterkunft ist in Wirklichkeit noch schöner als im Prospekt. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin verlief unkompliziert und zwanglos, für Fragen und kleinere Anliegen oder Probleme hatte sie ein offenes Ohr. Bei der ersten Anfahrt ist es noch etwas abenteuerlich durch die engen Gassen, aber bei jeder weiteren Fahrt schwappt die Gastfreundschaft der Menschen aus dem Ort förmlich entgegen. Das Grundstück ist riesig groß, der Pool wurde intensiv genutzt, die Kräuter und das Obst konnte im Garten geerntet werden. Auch musste man am Anreisetag nicht verhungern, weil eine Notration und ein Eis für jeden im Gefrierfach warteten. Das Haus und die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet, so dass man sich nur wohlfühlen kann. Und mit 3 Duschen und Toiletten kann man sich auch als 5-köpfige Familie nicht beschweren. Da Rethymno eindeutig die schönste Stadt ist, ist die Villa für Ausflüge zu Strand und in die Umgebung bestens geeignet. Von uns volle Punktzahl.

Le calme 5*

Très belle maison en pierre construite avec goût surplombant la baie de gerani . La maison est tres bien équipée, de nombreuses terrasses pour dejeuner et se prélasser. La piscine est de taille suffisante 7×3,5 et beneficie de la même vue , de transats et de zones d'ombre . Juste au dessus du village de Gerani et proche des belles plages , cette maison est idéalement située pour decouvrir l'ile . Voiture indispensable.

Prachtige Villa met uitzicht op de zee

de villa ligt boven het dorp Gerani en is alleen per auto te berijken. In het huis en op terrein is alles van hoge kwaliteit. Dagelijks wordt de pool schoon gemaakt en zijn er ook halverwege de bedden verschoont. De eigenaar is altijd bereikbaar. Dus een vakantie net rust!! Heerlijk!!

Lovely Villa set in the hills. Ideal for a quiet family holiday.

Aeolus is a very well equipped villa, with great views overlooking the northern coast. It was quiet and relaxing nestled into the hills, yet in striking distance of the south of the island and the west. The swimming pool was well cared for and very clean. Joanna and he dad could not have been more welcoming.

Superschön und Super-Service!!!

Wir waren von der Villa und ihren Inhabern begeistert - groß, modern und Top-Lage! Pool, Reinigung und Architektur haben uns sehr gefallen. Kleiner Tipp: Eine ganz einfache Kaffeemaschine fehlte ;-) Für Baumaßnahmen unweit entfernt und die Partynächte "unten im Dorf" kann die Villa nichts; der Ausblick und Lage ganz oben entschädigen definitiv.
