Across the reviews, Seaview Villa with Private Heated Seaview Pool & Hammam 800m from beach & shops stands out as a spacious, well-equipped retreat with beautiful gardens, sea-view sunsets, and a heated pool that families and groups really enjoy.
Hosts Kiki and Thomas earn repeated praise for warm, proactive care, swift communication, and thoughtful touches like a homemade first-night meal and helpful local recommendations. Facilities impress, from the outdoor kitchen with BBQ and pizza oven to leisure options such as ping-pong and a pool table; a few reviews also mention a gym or steam/hamam, though one review reported limited cleaning supplies and trouble with the air conditioning. The setting is quiet yet convenient for exploring Crete, with shops and eateries nearby, though several guests recommend having a car. Expect a relaxing, well-equipped stay suited to families and groups.

The villla is absolutely fantastic such an amazing place! From the moment we booked right through to departure Kiki and Thomas were so attentive, responding quickly to enquiries and were so friendly and welcoming, the moussaka on the first night was a very welcome, delicious treat. The villa itself is in a nice quiet location, overlooking the sea and the best sunset views. It was a little out the village so recommend having a car to get around and get to restaurants, beaches and to reythmnon. The villa is beautifully decorated and really well kitted out and had everything we needed, loved the pool and outdoor kitchen for bbq in the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return one day!

The villa is absolutely great. It has a wonderful seaview with nice sunsets, a beautiful garden which Thomas created, a big private pool, nice bedrooms with comfortable beds. And so many special things like the hamam, the billard table or the table tennis which we used a lot. Kiki welcomed us very friendly with homemade mousaka and raki. Kiki and Thomas are very nice and did everything to make us feel comfortable. We definately recommend a stay in this house. Thank you Kiki and Thomas!

We stayed 2 weeks in april/may at the Velvet Breeze villa. What an incredible location owned by the very sweet owners Kiki and Thomas.At our late arrival we were surprised with a very delicious Mousaka and it tasted fantastic.The villa is extremely complete and many places to sit down together or apart. The see view in the front is incredible with a great terrace and at the back side we had our early morning breakfasts overlooking the beautiful garden including the heated pool.The villa has so many places to sit down that it is ideal for families but also if you go with several parties and want to enjoy some privacy.Kiki and Thomas were very kind and helpfull during our stay. And we needed them because our granddaughter got ear problems. Kiki helped us with the adress of a very capable and child friendly doctor. We even could stay a few these longer in teh villa than originally planned because of her ear problems.As a resume: we really can recommend Velvet Breeze villa, it is like staying in paradise.

This villa is absolutely stunning, from the moment we walked through the gates we were blown away! Kiki and Thomas were there to greet us and show us around, Kiki had made one of her famous "made with love" moussaka's and it didn't disappoint! The villa was absolutely spotless, we found no faults, from the spectacular sunrise at the back of the villa to the stunning sunset at the front of the villa! Everything we needed for our stay was ready and available. The grounds of the property are just as stunning as the property it's self with several seating areas around the stunning pool. We also made great use of the Poole table inside and the ping pong table outside ! There was lots of information available within the villa for days out etc, and Kiki was available if we needed anything ! There is a bus stop located near by ,taxi service available and a few local shops,cafe and restaurants available near by. We would absolutely love to return one day to this villa.It was beyond our expectations. We shall keep Kiki and Thomas updated with our souvenirs yearly !!! Thank you for hosting us !!!

This is a beautiful villa with extremely nice hosts who left a delicious Moussaka on the first evening. Its perfect for two families , there is plenty of space both inside and outside with the grounds being particularly nice. The pool is great , we had it heated as it was at the end of the season. You probably need a car as its little remote but there are mini markets nearby. We used both the pizza oven and bbq which were really nice evenings. I would highly recommend this villa We used

The villa location is right in the middle of Crete, about equidistant to Chania and Heraklion, as well as near the major highway that connects north to south - making it ideal for travelling around. The villa was an amazing place to stay, spacious, modern and full of amenities. Steam shower - Gym, Heat Pool - Pool Table - Ping Pong table - Outdoor cooking (We hired private chef for a few nights) just to name a few. The hosts met us upon arrival and provided a great tour and details needed for the stay and were very gracious. They were very helpful with information about the island and recommended places, restaurants and things to do. Would highly recommend the villa!

We had a lovely week and wanted to stay longer! Lovely position not too high up the hill, enough for wonderful views of the sunset over the sea, but easily accessible by car. Some great restaurants nearby, and bakery and supermarkets wirhin walking distance. Kiki kindly made us moussaka for dinner on our first night and was very helpful showing us around. We all enjoyed the pool, and the boys loved ping pong, gym equipment and pool table. The villa is amazing!

We were a party of 8, 6 adults and 2 children but the villa is spacious enough to ensure that it never felt crowded. All the bedrooms are a good size with spacious beds and plenty of wardrobe space. The villa is well laid out and well equipped and the pool and gardens are a delight. In short, what you see in the video, you get. It was well into the 30's centigrade during our stay so the pool was especially welcome and the aircon coped admirably. There are plenty of outdoor eating areas if you fancy eating in and the wood fired pizza oven is fun to use and produces great pizzas. There is parking enough for 4 or 5 cars and the approach road doesn't make you nervous for your rental car like many we have experienced. Shops and supermarkets are easily reached and easy to park at. More than all this, however, are the wonderful hosts, Kiki and Thomas. Many have commented on Kiki's legendary welcome moussaka and it didn't disappoint. It was really welcome after a long day travelling. She and Thomas are friendly, genuinely welcoming and quickly respond to any queries or problems.

Die Velvet-Breeze-Superior-Villa beschreiben, wo soll man da anfangen? Am Besten bei der herzlichen Begrüßung und dem ersten Gang durch die Anlage. Zur Überraschung stand eine für uns zubereitete Mussaka bereit. Alles passte! Auf der Homepage wurden unsere Erwartungen geweckt, in der Villa vollständig erfüllt. Wir haben uns mit acht Personen in drei Generationen äusserst wohl gefühlt. Das Kochen in der großzügigen Küche, Grillen in der Aussenküche und dort auch Pizza backen hat uns viel Freude bereitet. Der liebevoll gestaltete und sehr gepflegte Garten mit seiner Sitzecke, der tolle Pool, Spiel- und Freizeitmöglichkeiten, die Terrassen zum Garten und zum Meer haben uns zu jeder Tageszeit bequeme und schattige Plätze geboten. Nach erlebnisreichen Tagen dann der erholsame Schlaf in gut ausgestatteten Schlafräumen mit bequemen Betten. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt, als wäre es unser eigenes Zuhause. Und zum Abschied gab dann noch eine herzliche Verabschiedung und ein kleines Erinnerungsgeschenk, das hier nicht verraten wird. Fahrt selber hin und lasst Euch überraschen. Danke Kiki, Danke Thomas!

Wir waren 1 Woche in der Villa. 2 Erwachsene , 3 Kinder. Die Villa bietet allen Komfort, Swimming Pool war beheizt (gegen Aufpreis) und wir konnten trotz wechselhaftem Wetter im Pool schwimmen. Wegen Gewitter gab es zweimal einen Stromausfall, aber Thomas hat sich sofort um alles gekümmert. Thomas und Kiki waren jederzeit ansprechbar, absolut super !! Unsere Kinder waren auch so begeistert von der Villa (und dem dazugehörigen Spielplatz), so dass wir sie regelrecht überreden mussten, auch mal zum Sight-Seeing die Villa zu verlassen. Wir konnten leider, aufgrund der Wetterlage, nicht alle Facilities wie Grillplatz etc. nutzen...... aber das heisst für uns , dass wir mal zur Sommersaison wieder kommen müssen ! Nicht zu vergessen - Sophia hat extra für uns am Anreisetag einen super leckeren Moussaka gemacht - einfach köstlich ! Und zum Abschied hat uns Kiki eine junge Olivenpflanze zur Erinnerung geschenkt. Fazit: Außergewöhnlich tolle Betreuung, super großzügige Villa , absolut empfehlenswert !!

Hallo, wir sind mit einer Gruppe von 8 Personen in die Villa gezogen. Der erste Eindruck der Villa war gut. Der Außenbereich von der Villa ist sehr schön und man fühlt sich hier sofort wohl. In der Villa gab es kleinere Mängel, die aber nicht störten. Leider gab es nur sehr wenig Putzmöglichkeiten und nach einer gewissen Zeit war immer mehr Schmutz zu sehen. Wir aber keine Möglichkeit hatten es selber zu bereinigen, da die Putzsachen verschlossen sind, Die Klima-Anlage funktionierte selten bis gar nicht, leider haben wir Sie nicht zum laufen bekommen. Ansonsten hat man in der Villa einen sehr schönen Sonnenuntergang und man erreicht mit dem Auto oder Roller alles in nur wenigen Minuten. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit auf Kreta.

Wir durften im Oktober 22 als Familie mit kleinen und größeren Kindern Gäste im Velvet Breeze sein und waren mehr als beeindruckt von der Gastfreundschaft der Eigentümer und natürlich auch von der Villa. Die Villa selbst ist in einem außerordentlich gepflegten Zustand, die Bilder im Angebot stimmen exakt mit der Realität überein, in Wahrheit ist es sogar noch etwas schöner. Das Haus hat eine offene, freundliche Atmosphäre und ist großzügig geschnitten. Überall ist reichlich Platz und man kann sich auch mit einer großen Familie dort sehr gut bewegen. Für die Kleinen steht sehr schönes Spielhaus zur Verfügung, der Garten und der Pool sind einfach toll. Das Areal ist durch ein Tor nach außen gesichert, so dass auch die Kleinen sich frei bewegen können. Dabei sollten kleine Kinder, aber auch Treppen steigen können, es gibt davon so einige. Unsere Gastgeber Kiki und Thomas überaus zuvorkommend, schon vor der Anreise bestand eine sehr nette Kommunikation und auch während des Aufenthaltes waren sie jederzeit erreichbar. Der Pool wurde täglich kontrolliert und 2x/ Woche gereinigt. Die Temperatur des Wassers betrug 28 Grad bei 21 Grad Außentemperatur. Es gab absolut nichts Negatives, wir können die Villa unbenklich weiter empfehlen.

Wir haben mit Familie und Freunden die Herbstferien verbracht. Der Empfang von Thomas, dem Eigentümer war sehr gut. Da wir teilweise später anreisten wurde uns sogar gekocht. Die Villa war sehr sauber und man merkt das sich der Eigentümer selbst um das Objekt kümmert. Auch sonst war der Kontakt sehr angenehm und bei Rückfragen wurde schnell reagiert. Wir würden wieder kommen. Danke an Thomas für den tollen Aufenthalt!!

Die Vermieter Thomas und Kiki haben uns empfangen und standen immer für unsere Wünsche bzw Fragen zur Verfügung. Die Villa ist in einem super Zustand, so setzte die Erholung von der ersten Minute ein. Das Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt und uns hat es an nicht gefehlt. Im Ort selbst gibt es alles was man benötigt (Lebensmittel, etc.) und die Villa hat eine tolle Lage, um die Insel zu erkunden. Wenn wir mehr als 5 Sterne vergeben könnten, würden wir es tun!! Super Villa, super Anlage, SUPER Gastgeber!! Danke für die tolle Zeit bei Euch auf Kreta!

Villa Velvet Breeze is the most amazing property inside and out. Kiki and Thomas have thought of everything and more. The garden and pool area is a relaxing private haven which makes you want to stay instead of exploring the area. We did however visit a number of truly amazing restaurants recommended by Kiki . We also visited the old town of Rethymon and it’s harbour which was amazing with its cobbled streets and lovely shops. Kiki’s Moussska is delicious and her infectious friendly welcoming personality adds to a truly memorable holiday. The property was exceptionally clean and well cared for. We would love to visit Villa Breeze again and Thank you both Kiki and Thomas for the lovely gift on our final day! We hope they will flourish In our care and will be a reminder of our Oasis and Haven in Crete, Villa Velvet Breeze

We were two families with 5 kids (age 6 - 13) and the villa was perfect. Spotlessly clean, spacious, very tastefully decorated with everything we needed for a weeks stay. The outside area is beautiful and the sunsets from the balcony are stunning. KiKi our host could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Would 100% recommend.

We stayed as a family of eight, aged 7-70, for a week at Velvet Breeze and would thoroughly recommend it. The villa and gardens are exactly as they appear in the photos - spacious, clean and well designed. The front balcony looks out over the sea which makes for great views of the sunset. The hosts are friendly, responsive and thoughtful in making sure their guests have an enjoyable holiday - our flight was delayed by several hours so we didn’t arrive until 1.30am but Kiki was waiting to welcome us at the villa and give a tour of all the facilities (with homemade food in the oven!). In short - great place and great people - very much recommended.

The villla is absolutely fantastic such an amazing place! From the moment we booked right through to departure Kiki and Thomas were so attentive, responding quickly to enquiries and were so friendly and welcoming, the moussaka on the first night was a very welcome, delicious treat. The villa itself is in a nice quiet location, overlooking the sea and the best sunset views. It was a little out the village so recommend having a car to get around and get to restaurants, beaches and to reythmnon. The villa is beautifully decorated and really well kitted out and had everything we needed, loved the pool and outdoor kitchen for bbq in the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return one day!

This villa is absolutely stunning, from the moment we walked through the gates we were blown away! Kiki and Thomas were there to greet us and show us around, Kiki had made one of her famous "made with love" moussaka's and it didn't disappoint! The villa was absolutely spotless, we found no faults, from the spectacular sunrise at the back of the villa to the stunning sunset at the front of the villa! Everything we needed for our stay was ready and available. The grounds of the property are just as stunning as the property it's self with several seating areas around the stunning pool. We also made great use of the Poole table inside and the ping pong table outside ! There was lots of information available within the villa for days out etc, and Kiki was available if we needed anything ! There is a bus stop located near by ,taxi service available and a few local shops,cafe and restaurants available near by. We would absolutely love to return one day to this villa.It was beyond our expectations. We shall keep Kiki and Thomas updated with our souvenirs yearly !!! Thank you for hosting us !!!

Family of nine of us had a fantastic stay. Villa was spacious and clean. The garden is well planted to give shade when needed for little ones. Could not fault the place. Kiki and Thomas are excellent hosts nothing is to much trouble. They are very knowledgeable of the surrounding area also.

You see lovely pictures in brochures but often the reality disappoints, not this time, the communication before we went, the arrival greeting and overall villa were just fantastic. The villa is tucked away like a diamond in the rough but boy is it worth it - beautifully designed with the bedrooms on the lower ground making the most of the sea views from the terrace above where you can watch the sunsets while sipping G&T or wine. The weather was also perfect with long sunny days and calm balmy evenings - the air conditioning made sleeping comfortable and everything was just so lovely - we cannot thank Thomas and Kiki enough for their attention to detail. Thomas' design and planting of the garden made for an oasis. The welcoming Moussaka was a treat and delicious. Being away from the crowded tourist spots, we found the neighbours welcoming as they waved hello from their terraces as we walked by. The local supermarket and beach restaurant staff were also friendly and the latter found it funny to watch us brits take shots of complimentary tequila when we ate there. If I had to make any recommendation to fellow travellers, I would say hire a car as the villa, although only 20 mins walk from local restaurant and small supermarket, it is quite a way when it is 30 degrees, few pavements and carrying bottles of water back. We managed to hire one for three days while there meant we could travel further and enjoy the local caves and towns. Highly recommend this villa.

We have just had an lovely week in this amazing villa. It was so much bigger than it looked in photos meaning we had plenty of space as 8 adults and 2 children. Kiki and Thomas kindly organised an extra mattress for us too. The sunsets from the terrace are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen every single night. Our flight was delayed and diverted on our way out so we arrived very late. Kiki kept in contact and made sure we arrived OK. She also left her delicious homemade mousakka in the oven for us :) There are some great restaurants withing a few mins drive and we visited the old town Rhythmno a couple of times for dinner too (15/20mins by car). Bali beach is a must visit. Thank you to Kiki and Thomas for all your help and allowing us to stay in your beautiful villa!

We were two families with 5 kids (age 6 - 13) and the villa was perfect. Spotlessly clean, spacious, very tastefully decorated with everything we needed for a weeks stay. The outside area is beautiful and the sunsets from the balcony are stunning. KiKi our host could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Would 100% recommend.

We were a party of 8, 6 adults and 2 children but the villa is spacious enough to ensure that it never felt crowded. All the bedrooms are a good size with spacious beds and plenty of wardrobe space. The villa is well laid out and well equipped and the pool and gardens are a delight. In short, what you see in the video, you get. It was well into the 30's centigrade during our stay so the pool was especially welcome and the aircon coped admirably. There are plenty of outdoor eating areas if you fancy eating in and the wood fired pizza oven is fun to use and produces great pizzas. There is parking enough for 4 or 5 cars and the approach road doesn't make you nervous for your rental car like many we have experienced. Shops and supermarkets are easily reached and easy to park at. More than all this, however, are the wonderful hosts, Kiki and Thomas. Many have commented on Kiki's legendary welcome moussaka and it didn't disappoint. It was really welcome after a long day travelling. She and Thomas are friendly, genuinely welcoming and quickly respond to any queries or problems.

Velvet Breeze is a very spacious and modern villa with everything that families will need. The outdoor and garden/pool area is beautiful - plenty of relaxing areas to find sun or shade during the day. The villa is well located near to Rethymno which is a beautiful town and also well located for visiting Heraklion and Chania plus the south coast. The small village of Stavromenos is walkable and has quite a few decent little restaurants and tavernas plus mini-markets etc. And the hosts, Kiki and Thomas - wow! I doubt you'll find more welcoming and helpful hosts anywhere else in Crete! Thoroughly recommended.

We stayed as a family of eight, aged 7-70, for a week at Velvet Breeze and would thoroughly recommend it. The villa and gardens are exactly as they appear in the photos - spacious, clean and well designed. The front balcony looks out over the sea which makes for great views of the sunset. The hosts are friendly, responsive and thoughtful in making sure their guests have an enjoyable holiday - our flight was delayed by several hours so we didn’t arrive until 1.30am but Kiki was waiting to welcome us at the villa and give a tour of all the facilities (with homemade food in the oven!). In short - great place and great people - very much recommended.

We stayed 2 weeks in april/may at the Velvet Breeze villa. What an incredible location owned by the very sweet owners Kiki and Thomas.At our late arrival we were surprised with a very delicious Mousaka and it tasted fantastic.The villa is extremely complete and many places to sit down together or apart. The see view in the front is incredible with a great terrace and at the back side we had our early morning breakfasts overlooking the beautiful garden including the heated pool.The villa has so many places to sit down that it is ideal for families but also if you go with several parties and want to enjoy some privacy.Kiki and Thomas were very kind and helpfull during our stay. And we needed them because our granddaughter got ear problems. Kiki helped us with the adress of a very capable and child friendly doctor. We even could stay a few these longer in teh villa than originally planned because of her ear problems.As a resume: we really can recommend Velvet Breeze villa, it is like staying in paradise.

We visited the villa from Canada, as an extended family of 8 for 12 days in Sept. The hosts were fantastic; kind and responsive. I dant say enough about their level if hospitality andtheir desire to be sure their guests have a memorable experience. The villa itself was as advertised and a perfect environment for all if us. The kids (3 & 5) adored the pool, and were just as happy staying "home" as they were enjoying the sights. The location was central to everywhere. Thanks again for making our vacation as memorable as we hoped!.

This is a beautiful villa with extremely nice hosts who left a delicious Moussaka on the first evening. Its perfect for two families , there is plenty of space both inside and outside with the grounds being particularly nice. The pool is great , we had it heated as it was at the end of the season.

The villa location is right in the middle of Crete, about equidistant to Chania and Heraklion, as well as near the major highway that connects north to south - making it ideal for travelling around. The villa was an amazing place to stay, spacious, modern and full of amenities. Steam shower - Gym, Heat Pool - Pool Table - Ping Pong table - Outdoor cooking (We hired private chef for a few nights) just to name a few. The hosts met us upon arrival and provided a great tour and details needed for the stay and were very gracious. They were very helpful with information about the island and recommended places, restaurants and things to do. Would highly recommend the villa!

We had a lovely week and wanted to stay longer! Lovely position not too high up the hill, enough for wonderful views of the sunset over the sea, but easily accessible by car. Some great restaurants nearby, and bakery and supermarkets wirhin walking distance. Kiki kindly made us moussaka for dinner on our first night and was very helpful showing us around. We all enjoyed the pool, and the boys loved ping pong, gym equipment and pool table. The villa is amazing!

We have just returned from an absolutely amazing stay at Velvet Breeze, we had 2 families sharing (4 adults and 3 kids) - Kiki the host could not do more for us, she was amazing and the communication was excellent. The villa itself is outstanding and very well equipped. The location is perfect and the sunsets from the balcony are breath taking !! - we will definitely be coming back.

You see lovely pictures in brochures but often the reality disappoints, not this time, the communication before we went, the arrival greeting and overall villa were just fantastic. The villa is tucked away like a diamond in the rough but boy is it worth it - beautifully designed with the bedrooms on the lower ground making the most of the sea views from the terrace above where you can watch the sunsets while sipping G&T or wine. The weather was also perfect with long sunny days and calm balmy evenings - the air conditioning made sleeping comfortable and everything was just so lovely - we cannot thank Thomas and Kiki enough for their attention to detail. Thomas' design and planting of the garden made for an oasis. The welcoming Moussaka was a treat and delicious. Being away from the crowded tourist spots, we found the neighbours welcoming as they waved hello from their terraces as we walked by. The local supermarket and beach restaurant staff were also friendly and the latter found it funny to watch us brits take shots of complimentary tequila when we ate there. If I had to make any recommendation to fellow travellers, I would say hire a car as the villa, although only 20 mins walk from local restaurant and small supermarket, it is quite a way when it is 30 degrees, few pavements and carrying bottles of water back. We managed to hire one for three days while there meant we could travel further and enjoy the local caves and towns. Highly recommend this villa.

We had a lovely time velvet breeze villa. The house is up to a high specification. The highlight was the lovely pool which we enjoyed well into the night. The location was good for going in either direction to Heraklion or Chania.

Velvet Breeze is a very spacious and modern villa with everything that families will need. The outdoor and garden/pool area is beautiful - plenty of relaxing areas to find sun or shade during the day. The villa is well located near to Rethymno which is a beautiful town and also well located for visiting Heraklion and Chania plus the south coast. The small village of Stavromenos is walkable and has quite a few decent little restaurants and tavernas plus mini-markets etc. And the hosts, Kiki and Thomas - wow! I doubt you'll find more welcoming and helpful hosts anywhere else in Crete! Thoroughly recommended.

We visited the villa from Canada, as an extended family of 8 for 12 days in Sept. The hosts were fantastic; kind and responsive. I dant say enough about their level if hospitality andtheir desire to be sure their guests have a memorable experience. The villa itself was as advertised and a perfect environment for all if us. The kids (3 & 5) adored the pool, and were just as happy staying "home" as they were enjoying the sights. The location was central to everywhere. Thanks again for making our vacation as memorable as we hoped!.

Many appreciated the welcome moussaka and enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, and wood-fired pizza oven. Nearby tavernas and, for some, a hired private chef made meals enjoyable.

The villla is absolutely fantastic such an amazing place! From the moment we booked right through to departure Kiki and Thomas were so attentive, responding quickly to enquiries and were so friendly and welcoming, the moussaka on the first night was a very welcome, delicious treat. The villa itself is in a nice quiet location, overlooking the sea and the best sunset views. It was a little out the village so recommend having a car to get around and get to restaurants, beaches and to reythmnon. The villa is beautifully decorated and really well kitted out and had everything we needed, loved the pool and outdoor kitchen for bbq in the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return one day!

My family and I had the most incredible time at Thomas and Kiki’s home. Our hosts were so welcoming (loved Kiki’s moussaka and baklava). The home itself was very comfortable. Incredible sunsets on the front balcony, lazy days spent beside the pool, great restaurants and supermarkets close by. We really hope to be back one day - we all absolutely loved it!

The villa is absolutely great. It has a wonderful seaview with nice sunsets, a beautiful garden which Thomas created, a big private pool, nice bedrooms with comfortable beds. And so many special things like the hamam, the billard table or the table tennis which we used a lot. Kiki welcomed us very friendly with homemade mousaka and raki. Kiki and Thomas are very nice and did everything to make us feel comfortable. We definately recommend a stay in this house. Thank you Kiki and Thomas!

Villa Velvet Breeze is the most amazing property inside and out. Kiki and Thomas have thought of everything and more. The garden and pool area is a relaxing private haven which makes you want to stay instead of exploring the area. We did however visit a number of truly amazing restaurants recommended by Kiki . We also visited the old town of Rethymon and it’s harbour which was amazing with its cobbled streets and lovely shops. Kiki’s Moussska is delicious and her infectious friendly welcoming personality adds to a truly memorable holiday. The property was exceptionally clean and well cared for. We would love to visit Villa Breeze again and Thank you both Kiki and Thomas for the lovely gift on our final day! We hope they will flourish In our care and will be a reminder of our Oasis and Haven in Crete, Villa Velvet Breeze

We have just had an lovely week in this amazing villa. It was so much bigger than it looked in photos meaning we had plenty of space as 8 adults and 2 children. Kiki and Thomas kindly organised an extra mattress for us too. The sunsets from the terrace are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen every single night. Our flight was delayed and diverted on our way out so we arrived very late. Kiki kept in contact and made sure we arrived OK. She also left her delicious homemade mousakka in the oven for us :) There are some great restaurants withing a few mins drive and we visited the old town Rhythmno a couple of times for dinner too (15/20mins by car). Bali beach is a must visit. Thank you to Kiki and Thomas for all your help and allowing us to stay in your beautiful villa!

Die Velvet-Breeze-Superior-Villa beschreiben, wo soll man da anfangen? Am Besten bei der herzlichen Begrüßung und dem ersten Gang durch die Anlage. Zur Überraschung stand eine für uns zubereitete Mussaka bereit. Alles passte! Auf der Homepage wurden unsere Erwartungen geweckt, in der Villa vollständig erfüllt. Wir haben uns mit acht Personen in drei Generationen äusserst wohl gefühlt. Das Kochen in der großzügigen Küche, Grillen in der Aussenküche und dort auch Pizza backen hat uns viel Freude bereitet. Der liebevoll gestaltete und sehr gepflegte Garten mit seiner Sitzecke, der tolle Pool, Spiel- und Freizeitmöglichkeiten, die Terrassen zum Garten und zum Meer haben uns zu jeder Tageszeit bequeme und schattige Plätze geboten. Nach erlebnisreichen Tagen dann der erholsame Schlaf in gut ausgestatteten Schlafräumen mit bequemen Betten. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt, als wäre es unser eigenes Zuhause. Und zum Abschied gab dann noch eine herzliche Verabschiedung und ein kleines Erinnerungsgeschenk, das hier nicht verraten wird. Fahrt selber hin und lasst Euch überraschen. Danke Kiki, Danke Thomas!

We arrived late in the evening and our host Thomas was waiting to show us around the property. He went into detail about the area and gave us suggestions for what to do and see in Crete. As he was leaving, he opened the oven and showed us the moussaka warming in the oven that his wife Kiki had prepared for us. After a very long day of traveling it was the perfect gift! The gardens, grounds and pool put many 5 star resorts to shame. The surrounding area is beautiful with views of both the sea and the mountains. The house is spacious and includes a number of spots to rest and enjoy the view. The grill and pizza oven are thoughtfully stocked with local olive wood to inspire your work. It is heaven to enjoy a glass of wine, the warmth of the setting sun and the soft breeze while you work on the grill. No detail is missed including down pillows. We left wishing we had another week at the Velvet Breeze. Thank you Kiki and Thomas for a lovely week!

We stayed as a family of eight, aged 7-70, for a week at Velvet Breeze and would thoroughly recommend it. The villa and gardens are exactly as they appear in the photos - spacious, clean and well designed. The front balcony looks out over the sea which makes for great views of the sunset. The hosts are friendly, responsive and thoughtful in making sure their guests have an enjoyable holiday - our flight was delayed by several hours so we didn’t arrive until 1.30am but Kiki was waiting to welcome us at the villa and give a tour of all the facilities (with homemade food in the oven!). In short - great place and great people - very much recommended.

Beautiful villa with stunning views, perfect pool and added little pool was perfect for our grandson, very private and secluded area. We didn’t have any problems but Kiki checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. We will definitely book again. If booking a car is definitely required, but everything that is needed is a very short drive
