Gorgeous stay in beautiful villa

We had such a wonderful stay in Dora's villa it completed exceeded our expectations. We were four adults aged mid 30s to mid 60s and we found the house so spacious for our group. The pool was fabulous we swam in it every day when we were there and it is perfectly located to catch sun most of the day. We spent most of our days lounging around the house and really felt so comfortable it felt like home. In the surrounding area there is a lot of lovely restaurants a short drive away and the larger city of Rethmyno only a 15 min drive with even more resturants and beautiful scenery so highly recommend a visit to there. There is also a lot of super markets and a large lidl a short drive from the house also. Car is essential for staying here I would say as the hill is steep up to the house but fine in a car. Dora was a fabulous host, left us with lovely moussaka on our first day arriving and delivered some gorgeous week in our second week. We would definitely recommend her as a host as we had everything we needed. We would love to go back

Very steep track ,but great views,very private

Internal of property cannot be faulted. Exterior looking tired and in need of some TLC/replacement, example:paint work,pool decking, barbecue, some external lights not working,some illuminate during daylight but not at night when needed,sun canopy broken off. Website photo needs updating as property shown is now enclosed by high shrubbery and upper and lower gardens inaccessible. Being totally enclosed makes it "very" private 😎

Excellent countryside villa

Thank you Dora, for welcoming us to your fabulous villa. It sits on a steep hillside that allows for terrific views of the coast and mountains. A large, well equipped (aircon excellent) house and surrounding mature gardens, with terraces on north and south sides for shaded dining and covered bbq and seating area by pool, with chairs and sun shades. Local tavernas are very good but a substantial effort to walk to in the summer heat, only a few minutes in the car. Perfect rural base for our family holiday, short drives to Rethymno and many northern beaches, easy to get onto roads to explore south of island. Great Minimart 2 minute drive. Highly recommended. Car essential, ideally a decent one.

Amazing villa

An amazing Villa with a spectacular sea and mountain view and big garden with fruit trees. It's a very private and peaceful area. We will miss this place as it was cozy and beautiful in every way. Dora was a super host as she treated us like family with kind hospitality and welcomed us with a warm traditional Greek meal , drink, fruit and the other day surprised us with Greek delicacy and traditionl Greek soap and a toy for my little daughter. The Villa is superbly equipped with everything you need for a family holiday. A car is essential because the villa is located on a very steep hill. We had several trips to the beaches, old town Rethymno ( beautiful beach with loads of restaurants), Kourna lake 30 min far by car peacful place for swimming in the lake and pedal boats , resturants and shops. Water Park (Watercity) 1.16 hours far by car. We definitely recommend Iris villa.

Perfect

The house sits atop a hill looking over the countryside and sea. It has patios in the back garden and on the front of the house facing the sea. Both patios have tables for relaxing. Inside, there are three bedrooms, two dining tables, an office desk, and a living room area. It's furnished in a lovely manner with everything one would expect in Greece. It's a four minute drive to the main highway in Crete. This is a wonderful location for traveling the Western half of Crete. The family is extremely polite and helpful. They provided us a delicious meal upon arrival and brought over tasty baked goods.

Beautiful villa with everything you need

We had a lovely stay at Villa Iris. It's set up on the hills overlooking the sea just 7 minutes from Platanias with its beaches, restaurants and shops. Rethymnon is a short drive away and it's also easy to access the beaches to the south. All rooms have air conditioning and the small pool is well located and in the sun. Beware of the steep gravelly drive up to the villa making sure your hired car has good brakes and use first gear to go up! Overall we had a lovely stay and Dora was a most helpful and welcoming host. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful Villa

The villa is in a superb location seemingly in quite countryside but only five minutes by car away from the tourist area and very close to the national road so easy to access other parts of the Island. It is very well equipped and really covers all requirements however I would say the dishwasher is rather small for a family. Dora supplied plenty of linen and towels which were changed after a week and also a cleaning service which was greatly appreciated. The outside is fabulous with plenty of shaded areas to eat either breakfast outside the kitchen or on the terrace looking out across the valley to the sea or dinner on the BBQ by the pool. The area is very well supplied with supermarkets and wonderful restaurants either by the sea or in the mountains. I would suggest a car is necessary though in order to thoroughly enjoy the area. Just a word about Dora - she met us near the villa to guide us there and left a welcoming meal she also returned later with Greek pastries and home made apricot jam and homemade lemonade and brought a further meal as we were about to leave. She was always available if we needed her and was always helpful - a real treasure.

Wenn einige Mängel nicht wären, ein 5 Sterne Villa

Die Villa war sehr gut! Tolle Aussicht, tolle Grillplatz, super Terrasse vorne, super Auto Abstellplatz, überall in jedem Zimmer Klimaanlage, Küchen Ausstattung: war OK, sehr schöne Pool mit toller Aussicht, Aber zu bemängeln sind: Nur ein Badezimmer mit Badewanne (sollte grade im Sommer Dusche sein), Matratzen zu alt, Fernseher zu alt (heutzutage sollte wenigstens im Wohnzimmer ein Smart TV sein), hinter Terrasse war ständig von den Baum dreckig, am Pool Rand die Holz Fläche uneben und die Schrauben lose und ragten raus – Vorsicht Verletzungsgefahr! Wenn die Mängel beseitigt werde oder nicht wären, ein 5 Sterne Villa

Un petit paradis

La villas Iris est un véritable havre de paix, seules les cigales vous accompagnent de leur chant et offrent une véritable ambiance de vacances. La villa tout pour plaire ne fusse que par sa vue unique sur la campagne et la mer. Plusieurs terrasses vous permettent d”en profiter. De la piscine vous avez l’impression de plonger dans la mer. Elle est grande et située à côté d’une pergola où vous pouvez organiser un petit barbecue. A l’intérieur, la villa est très spacieuse et il a a tout pour que vous vous sentiez comme chez vous. Il faut une voiture pour louer cette villa pas loin de Réthymnon. Je ne conseille pas cet endroit aux personnes à mobilité réduite car elle est située en hauteur et l’accès un peu compliqué mais c’est ce qui en fait tout son charme. Enfin, cerise sur le gâteau, l’acceuil est chaleureux. Jamais nous n’oublierons notre séjour à la villa Iris et la gentillesse de nos hôtes. Merci à eux et à très bientôt.

Schöner Familienurlaub

Wir haben dort als Familie mit drei erwachsenen Kindern unseren ersten Teil des Kreta-Urlaubs verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig mit viel Platz für gemeinsames Beisammensein, aber auch mit Rückzugsorten. Wir haben eine sehr heiße Woche mit Temperaturen an die 40 Grad "erwischt", die Klimaanlage und der schöne Pool haben für ausreichend Erfrischung gesorgt. Die Betreuung war sehr gut, fehlende Dinge (z. B. Weingläser) wurden sofort bereitgestellt. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse und vom Pool ist wirklich umwerfend. Die Beschreibung "in der Nähe des Strandes" ist allerdings nicht nachvollziehbar (ca. 10min Autofahrt! ). Fliegengitter sind an fast allen Fenstern vorhanden. Zu empfehlen wäre noch eine ausreichende Verschattung der Terrasse (mindestens eine große Markise), da bei heißen Tagen wir den schönen Blick nur in den Abendstunden genießen konnten. Ferner eine weitere Tischgarnitur für die hintere Terrasse. Auch würden wir empfehlen, bei der Poolumrandung das Holz durch Steinfliesen zu ersetzen. Das aber nur als Empfehlung. Die Lage ist auch für Erkundung der Insel gut geeignet. Mietwagen ist aber zwingend erforderlich. Insgesamt war es ein wunderschöner Urlaub.

Nous avons passés un séjour vraiment très agréable dans cette maison qui est bien située pour visiter l'ile . La vue de la piscine et de la terrasse est superbe (voiture indispensable) , et tout en étant à proximité des plages et des commerces, nous étions au calme .Il n'y a pas de vis à vis. Vous trouverez à Maroulas plusieurs restaurants offrant une cuisine typique et un panorama exceptionnel. Dora a été une hôtesse très accueillante et je la remercie pour ses présents culinaires et pour nous avoir attendu jusqu'au milieu de la nuit, le jour de notre arrivée.
