Alexandros villa, private pool, Near tavern

Words can’t fully describe the incredible hospitality we experienced at this gorgeous villa nestled in a charming village. From the moment we arrived, Vasilias made us feel like family. He graciously accommodated an early check-in and even brought us lunch after our travels.The villa itself is stunning. Beautifully restored from its original construction in the late 1880s, it perfectly blends historic character with modern comfort. There were 10 adults in our group, and everyone had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the property.What made our stay truly special was the sense of community. During our visit, we had the privilege of witnessing a traditional village wedding. The entire village paraded right in front of the villa on their way to the centuries-old church, which is still used for local celebrations today. It was an unforgettable glimpse into local life.We also spent an evening at the nearby tavern owned by Vasilias’ neighbor. The kindness of the villagers was remarkable—his wife even brought us fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, and olives during our stay.Vasilias also invited us to his restaurant in downtown Rethymno, where we enjoyed a magical dinner. His generosity extended beyond our stay as well. After I accidentally left my jacket behind, he promptly shipped it to my next destination.This was truly a special experience, and we would return in a heartbeat. If I could give a 10 out of 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you, Vasilias from all of us!!!

Everything was wonderful, we felt very good in the villa. Very clean and the owner was very attentive with us.

Lovely accomodation in a cozy village. Really great service from the host, who welcomed us upon arrival. By arrangement he had delivered pizza to the whole family and it was super nice when we arrived late. Had good contact with the host several times, who fixed minor challenges. Howevre, there is no minimarket or tavern ind the village.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Alexandros! An absolute gem of a property, well run, and in a great location to be able to maximize your stay in Crete.

Der Gastgeber war durchweg zuvorkommend und hat uns sogar zum Empfang einen ersten kleinen Einkauf spendiert. Um jedes Anliegen kümmerte er sich direkt. Das Haus ist sehr schön und die Umgebung ruhig. Ohne Auto geht es nicht. Wenn man die abgelegene Lage jedoch mag, können wir das Haus nur weiter empfehlen.
