Thalia, Traditional Stone Villa, Intimate Spaces & Private Pool, Family Friendly

A Traditional Stone Villa Designed to Be Enjoyed Together.
Step into the authentic charm of a traditional stone villa spread across two levels, offering a comfortable and welcoming setting for large families and groups of friends.

The villa combines its traditional character with the comforts needed for a relaxed holiday. A fully equipped kitchen with a complete range of household essentials gives guests everything they need to prepare meals and enjoy the convenience of a home away from home.

One of the villa’s highlights is its large outdoor space, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax, play, have fun and simply enjoy being together. The private swimming pool is perfect for cooling off and spending carefree moments during the day, while the BBQ area creates the ideal setting for shared meals, conversations and relaxed evenings with family and friends.

The generous outdoor areas also give guests the freedom to enjoy the villa in different ways. Children can play and have fun, while adults can relax, read, enjoy a drink or gather around the BBQ. There is space for different activities to take place at the same time, so everyone can find something they enjoy.

At the same time, the villa offers something especially valuable when travelling as a large group: space and privacy. Its generous layout allows guests to spend time together when they want to, but also to retreat to their own corner and enjoy some quiet time — even within the same family or group.

Whether you want to spend the day by the pool, enjoy a family BBQ, play games outdoors, relax in a quiet spot or simply make the most of your time together, the villa offers the space and flexibility to do it at your own pace.

Located just a 7-minute drive from the magnificent beaches of southern Rethymno, the villa offers the perfect base for exploring South Crete. Within 40 km, guests can discover the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea, the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge, the Kotsifos Gorge, the famous Preveli Beach, the historic Frangokastello, a lot of traditional villages and the charming town of Rethymno.

Wonderful family vacation

We had a group of 8 young and older adults and stayed for 12 nights in May/June 2019. The villa and location were a perfect paradise. Everything we needed was nearby. Close to many beautiful beaches, delicious restaurants and amazing mountain drives. Valia was of great assistance prior to our arrival, and the villa owner Mr Antonis was very helpful and accommodating after we arrived. We would happily recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation away from the busier parts of this beautiful and amazing island. M & T Jesson, Massachusetts, USA

Lovely villa

What a beautiful villa, modern but built in stone in a traditional style. From the garden there is a fabulous view of the mountains and the sea. We were a group of 7 (5 adults, 2 children) and we had a lovely stay, thank you. The villa has privacy, but is a 10 minute stroll to local village with an excellent coffee shop, well stocked mini market and a taverna restaurant. There are several beaches within a short driving distance, and Plakias beach resort is a 4.5km drive away, with plentiful restaurants and shops, and has a great place selling all sorts of iced cream, waffles and pancakes with chocolate or fresh fruit.

Summer 2019

Easy booking and excellent communication with property manager. Villa itself clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Pool and outside area lovely and felt secure as property has it's own gates. We would have liked a hard copy information pack with things like emergency numbers- we were grateful for the information email we were sent before our holiday but a pack would have been great. Small problem with aircon one day but technician visited within hours so excellent service. Beautiful villa in beautiful location!

A super Villa it had everything we needed, it was clean, well equipped and everything worked.

My husband and I booked this villa for a family holiday to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were 8 adults and 2 grandchildren aged 8 and 10. The location was perfect for us - close to Damnomi beach which we love (5 mins in the car) and to Plakias which my husband and I have visited several times before. Everyone, especially the grandchildren enjoyed the pool which was kept clean and tidy by the pool man who visited every other day. Our host Mr Antonis was there to welcome us on our arrival and the cleaner came 3 times during our 8 day stay and kept the place spotless. We would highly recommend this villa. The service we received from Valia Kokkinou was superb, she replied to my emails within minutes and was extremely helpful in answering my queries. My only suggestion for improvement would be that a folder of local information on restaurants, taxi services and local walks would be useful. We had a wonderful holiday and I would like to thank all those involved in helping to make my 70th birthday unforgettable. I will definitely use Homeaway again in the future.

wonderful villa and location

We just had the most wonderful week at Villa Thalia. The view is sublime -- the pictures do not do it justice. It is windy, but that can't be helped, this is generally true of the Cretan southern coast. AC in the rooms work great.The location is great to explore the center southern coast. Plenty to see there. Plakias is 10 minutes away. A supermarket is 5 minutes away. Wonderful little beach at Shinaria is 10 minutes away (arrive early or you will have a hard time parking!). 2 hours from xania, an hour from triopetra, 90 minutes from Matala. Too far away to go to elafonissi. The swimming pool is very nice, so his the lounge chair area which is well protected from the sun. The kitchen could benefit from a microwave oven. The wifi works, but don't expect to stream game of thrones. All in all, a truly wonderful stay in Southrn crete for two families of four (which left a room to spare--10 people would still be comfortable).

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit im Haus und in der Landschaft. Es war nicht mehr ganz so Poolwetter, daher haben wir die Umgebung genossen. Super Ausgangspunkte und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und gut ausgestattet. Frotteewäsche, Shampoo, Abwaschtücher, alles da. Ist nicht selbstverständlich. Plakias ist nur wenige Autominuten entfernt. Ein reizender Ort. Es hat auch einen kleinen Supermarkt im Dorf. Perfekt. Wenn die Villen rechts und links in der Hochsaison belegt sind, könnte es wohl etwas lauter werden. Sie sind etwas nah beieinander. Aber wir können das Haus nur empfehlen, und die Betreuung war toll. Freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es war einfach schön!

Sehr schönes Haus mit Meerblick und Pool

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Villa. Der Service der Vermieter war super und die Kommunikation funktionierte hervorragend und immer schnell. Die beiden unteren zimmer sind nicht so schön wie die oberen, eines hat kein Fenster, aber wir haben uns mit 8 Erwachsenen trotzdem sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war an alles gedacht: Spülmittel, Waschpulver, Shampoo etc. Es gibt eine gute Taverne Fuß läufig im Ort und auch zwei schöne Strände kann man gut erwandern. Wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen.

Schöne Villa mit Meerblick

Villa Thalia ist eine komfortable Unterkunft mit tollem Pool und schöner Aussicht auf das Meer bei Plakias. Viele Strände (große und kleine) sind von hier in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Die beiden Zimmer im Keller sind leider nicht so schön wie die in der oberen Etage. Trotzdem ist Villa Thalia besonders für Familien sehr zu empfehlen. Jederzeit wieder.
