Very nice stay, the place was perfect for the hot wave week we spent there. It was really easy to communicate with the staff at any time of the day. It was really calm and you have everything you need at a five minute walk (restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy...) I really recommend the place!! Thanks for the stay, Florence.

This was a lovely spot for our family to stay! It was just as pictured. Beautiful home. The outside was divine. It was really nice to have the A/c and pool as an option during a heat wave. Conveniently located in the middle of the island and we loved Rethymno. Would definitely recommend

We found the Villa Anastasia clean and charming inside. The outdoor space is the highlight of this property with a nice pool and pleasing outdoor courtyard with plants and evening lighting The Villa itself in my opinion is really suited for those desiring to be in a more remote village than near the heart of Rethymno. Our initial arrival at night and perception found the area run down. The neighbor hood a mixture of nice homes and vacant lots or neglected properties. For several nights dogs barked for hours making sleep difficult without earplugs While the local people and restaurants were great and friendly it took me several days to feel completey comfortable. The bathroom upstairs is also too small for anyone over 5 foot 9. This should be noted in the listing. I do not want to sound negative as the property was nice. Just not for everyone in my opinion. The property management firm needs to be more open about the listing In the end we did enjoy Crete but may have chosen something closer to the old Port

We had a lovely 10 days in Crete and will be back next year. Just not at this villa. Villa Anastasia is located centrally if you want to explore, hiring a car is a must. The villa itself is traditionally decorated and has everything you would need, bedrooms are lovely. Showers are small making it less relaxing but perfectly adequate. Living room is open plan with the kitchen and small, but it was functional and we were out every day so did not pose a problem. The garden and pool are the real gem of this villa, plenty of space and shade. Dips in the pool after our days at the beach were great, water was lovely and warm. The building next door is under construction which does create a lot of noise but this will be temporary. There are a couple of loose floor tiles that could do with repair but did not bother us, might be more of a concern if you have young children. The only issue we had was the wedding venue opposite the villa. It caters for hundreds of people and has very loud live music. On the first Sat we were there live music went on until 05:00am then as the band packed up the guests sang until 05:45am. None of my family were able to sleep. Speaking with locals this happens every/most Saturdays. I think this should be included in the villa description and at the very least, ear plugs provided with the welcome pack. We wasted the following day of our holiday catching up on sleep.

Very quaint property. Excellent location, three restaurants and a mini market within a few minutes walk; would highly recommend Giannikos who was very helpful. Three double/twin rooms, one upstairs. The upstairs one was very cosy but a few possible draw backs, depending on who the occupants were. The staircase was very steep and led straight from the kitchen with no door, not a problem for us but could be if you are seeking privacy from the rest of the house. Also, the shower tray was tiny with a shower curtain which constantly stuck to you. The kitchen was small and not really suitable for cooking / washing up for a family meal but adequate for breakfast/ lunches. Downstairs bedrooms shared a bathroom which also housed the washing machine. Outside kitchen good for BBQ. There were a lot of trees on the grounds which shed many leaves / olives, so the table and pool area needed sweeping frequently. Good sturdy external gate, felt very secure although neighbourhood was also very quiet and safe. Pool lovely, although needs a little maintenance on the tiling / grouting and would benefit from a handrail near the steps. The curtains on the cabana were torn, needed repair and were taken away the second week. The keys and key card for electricity were on same key ring so to lock the gate or front door, the power had to go off; not great when returning at midnight. It sounds like a lot of grumbles but really our stay was lovely, just a few little niggles.

Villa très bien placée ! Mais à savoir proche d'un terrain de fête, donc quelques soirées avec musique assez forte mais qui ne nous a pas dérangé. L’extérieur est indéniablement le point fort de cette villa ! Magnifique jardin et piscine top. Piscine propre et très bien entretenue. En ce qui concerne l’intérieur petit bémol sur la « chambre parentale », en effet cette dernière est en mezzanine et non fermée ! Nous l’avons donc concédée à nos ados par manque d'intimité. La cafetière Dolce Gusto ne fonctionne pas donc peut-être utile de l'enlever afin d'éviter des frais inutiles par l’achat de capsules qui coûtent un certain prix... Villa agréable je recommande, idéal entre amis, famille ...

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Es war sauber und es war alles da. Könnte mal renoviert werden und das Haus ist kleiner als es auf den Fotos erscheint. Aber für uns hat es gereicht (6 Erwachsene und 2 Kleinkinder) und dafür waren die lauen Abende unter den Olivenbäumen wunderschön. Die Tavernen im Dorf sind sehr gut, der Supermarkt hat ab 9.00 Uhr frisches Brot. Es war immer jemand erreichbar und alle waren sehr hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank dafür.

Das Häuschen liegt bei Rethymno in einer eher unattraktiven Siedlung ohne Sicht oder sonstige Besonderheiten. Die Umgebung ist eher laut (Baustelle, Festplatz). Anastasia ist nicht mehr Besitzerin Kontakt Bestand ausschließlich digital. Eher kleine und dunkle Unterkunft mit Küche/Wohn/Esszimmer von ca. 25m2. Ungepflegte Olivenbäume im Garten, die viel Schmutz machen, Badezimmer mit befriedigendem Standard, Geschirr war bei Ankunft tlw. deutlich verschmutzt. Wir waren enttäuscht, die Unterkunft entsprach nicht unseren Erwartungen.

Mais il n’y a plus madame Anastasia. À la place, des voisins ayant un chiot qui aboyait jour et nuit. C’est dommage car sans cela, notre séjour aurait valu 5 étoiles comme à l’habitude. À noter que nous devions être les premiers de la saison car le jardin n’était pas nettoyé. Encore une fois, je veux remercier les Crétois pour leur hospitalité et leur gentillesse.

As two couples with babies (7 and 8 months), we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. We can't fault the villa, its grounds, or the village at all, and the town of Rethimno, with its harbour, shops, and old town, are just a short drive away. The way the outside space is designed means that there always choices of shade, and all of them lovely spaces in different ways. The pool is a good size and the loungers all comfy and with the option of shade or sun. The olive trees, fruit trees, grape vines, and flowering plants all add to the aesthetic and the relaxing atmosphere. We also enjoyed the barbecue and hanging out with the friendly cat. The villa itself looks stunning in its surroundings and is comfortable and clean inside. We were provided with two cots (thanks!) and all the towels, bedding, etc. were in really good condition. We were well looked after by Despina and were made incredibly welcome by everyone in the village, from the excellent tavernas to the small shop. All in all, a fantastic holiday in a beautiful and tasteful villa in a great location.

cannot emphasise enough how special this villa is. Charming, peaceful, and beautifully decorated inside and out, we could find no fault with it. We had a sound night’s sleep every night on the CocoMat mattresses and were completely relaxed throughout the day in the very private garden and pool area and its comfortable sun loungers. Echoing previous reviews, what made our stay truly special was Anastasia herself, who was so warm and positive and made us all feel truly welcome. Her cooking was exceptional, and we were treated almost every day to a different mouth-watering local dish. On one evening after we’d finished our dinner and were lamenting our lack of dessert, Anastasia as if by magic knocked on the door with a freshly baked apple & cinnamon cake in hand! It was a perfect holiday- Anastasia is so kind and thoughtful and the villa itself so beautifully relaxed that we have booked again for next summer and cannot wait go back. Thank you, Anastasia, for your wonderful hospitality and we are very much looking forward to seeing you again, and of course your boys, Felix and Ginger, too!

Der erste Kontakt war schon überraschend, kurz nach Buchung erhielt ich einen Anruf von Annastasia und wir besprachen das weitere Vorgehen, auch als ein paar Tage später der Flug storniert wurde und wir umbuchen mussten, war alles kein Problem. Als wir ankamen, war der Kühlschrank fürs erste Überleben bestückt und Anastasia fragte uns um welche Uhrzeit sie täglich zum Reinigen kommen sollte. Da wir unsere paar Teller und Tassen selber abspülen können, sagten wir ihr, dass einmal die Woche völlig ausreichend sei. Sie lies es sich aber nicht nehmen und kam alle paar Tage mit leckerem Gebäck oder Kuchen vorbei und vergas auch nicht den Geburtstag meines Vaters und überraschte uns mit einer tollen Geburtstagstort. Das Haus ist super in Schuss und sauber. Auch der Garten mit netten Sitzgelegenheiten und Olivenbäumen sowie einen schönen Pool lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es gibt 3 Tavernen die alle in 5 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen sind, sowie einen kleinen Supermarkt bei dem man alles kaufen kann, was man braucht. Parkplätze sind am Haus genügend vorhanden und für Spaziergänge bietet sich der Ort selber an, erst meint man nur die Hauptstrasse und sonst nichts, aber nach ein paar Metern in die Seitengassen eröffnet sich der Charme von Prines. Katzen, Hunde, Ziegen und Schweine laufen frei oder in natürlicher Haltung rum, manchmal muss man etwas warten, wenn mal wieder eine Schafherde die Wege kreutzt. Mit dem Bus kommt man nach Rethymnon da es mit Parkplätzen in der Stadt etwas schwierig ist, Badestrände sind mit dem Auto in 15 Minuten zu erreichen oder man fährt an die Südküste in ca. 1 Stunde. Alles im Allen eine super Urlaub und für Eltern mit Kinder genau so zu empfehlen wie für Pärchen. Wir sagen nochmal Danke an Annastasia und Elena für die tollen 2 Wochen.

We spent on week at Villa Anastasia in the village of Prines and had the most amazing time. Thank you to Anastasia who made our stay so special and memorable. The villa itself is simple but well equipped with a great pool. The location is absolutely perfect as it’s in a beautiful little village with 3 amazing tavernas selling the most incredible food. We traveled a lot around the north and south of Crete from here and explored what Crete had to offer. The hospitality from Anastasia was the best we have ever experienced as she came to clean every day, leaving the villa spotless. Not only that she bought wonderful treats with her which were delicious. She is a fantastic cook with a big heart. One of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. We would definitely come back and would recommend this villa to anyone.

10/10

Where to start! Anastasia and Elena's villa is beautiful and exactly as described if not better. Every detail has been considered. As most of the reviews say what makes this holiday are the personal touches created by the wonderful Anastasia. We were met by her on arrival, the fridge had been stocked thoughtfully with useful basic items and she often bought us delicious homemade treats which were much appreciated by all, especially by two hungry teenage boys! Anastasia even bought food for my partner when he was ill and offered to accompany us to a doctor if necessary. We also met Elena, Anastasia's daughter, who like her mother, was so friendly and helpful. The beds and pillows were super comfortable, the linen and towels were changed frequently. There are books and games to use. There is a washing machine that can be used The villa was kept spotlessly clean . The new canopy sunbeds are lovely, I think we were one of the first to use them! Ginger and Felix the villa cats would welcome us on our return if we had been out or in the morning when we opened the door which was lovely for us as cat lovers who had recently said goodbye to a family pet. Our favourite area was the garden and pool. We had a couple of BBQ's- most of the equipment was provided, enjoyed leisurely breakfasts or lunches and spent plenty of time in the pool. It is a little haven of tranquillity. The village itself is quiet, but all the tavernas, there are 3 are very friendly and serve good home cooked food. There is a small shop, but the best the supermarket is probably in Atsipopolou which is 1-2km away. The villa was a good base location to out and about to get out and about - Rethymmno only 10 - 15 mins away by car. We also ventured to Lake Kournos and ate in one of Anastasia's recommended tavernas as well as trips to Chania, the Waterpark in Heraklion, the beaches of Plakias and Prevali on the South of the Island and the closer beach at Episkopi . We didn't want to leave and I think we will be back! We would, without hesitation recommend this villa, I don't know how anywhere else will compare now!

10/10

We spent a month in this wonderful property and the family is unanimous in rating it 5-star in all respects. The house is extremely comfortable and exactly as described - excellent mattresses & pillows; bath, pool & beach towels provided and changed twice a week; good fans in bedrooms but a/c also an option; small but functional kitchen area with all necessary utensils and cleaning materials; and two good bathrooms - cleaned daily. The outside space was a delight, with; an excellent eating area where we had all our meals; a good-sized pool (cleaned every other day) with more than enough loungers and umbrellas; and total privacy - apart from the two resident cats, Felix and Ginger, we were unobserved and undisturbed by outside noise or presence. What sets this property apart from most other rentals, however, is the attention and consideration we were afforded by the owners, Anastasia and her daughter, Elena. Philoxenia, or generosity of spirit, is a matter of national pride among Greeks - even more so among Cretans - and is fully embodied in attitude of these to delightful women. Anastasia; stocked the fridge for our arrival; baked for us every other day (pies, pastries, cakes, tarts, and traditional dishes); came with us to the supermarket on our first day; and even accompanied me to the doctor's to ensure I was well treated. It was an unforgettable experience and it is with whole-hearted enthusiasm that we all unequivocally recommend Villa Anastasia as a perfect holiday rental.

10/10

Great location very close to Rethymnon town, plenty of parking on a quiet road. The villa was clean, comfortable & peaceful. The outside area is stunning & the pool was perfect! The garden had very nice furniture. The hosts Anastasia & Eleni were so welcoming & even baked delicious cakes which they left for us to come home to. So very generous & kind. It was well looked after, being cleaned daily with fresh towels & lots of little shampoos, creams & slippers :) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & I would highly recommend Villa Anastasia.

Right from the beginning Anastasia was fantastic! She met us at 3 o'clock in the morning when we arrived! If that's not going above and beyond. She showed us around the villa and had prepared a hot and delicious meal for us, perfect after a long journey. We stayed at Villa Anastasia prior to our wedding and Anastiasia did so much to make it a special time for us by by putting up weding decorations and providing special greek wedding treats like the sugared almonds and walnuts in honey. Staying at this villa you get the best of villa life: privacy, your own pool and garden, a fully equipped kitchen and the benefits of a hotel daily cleaning, amenities and food. Anastasia is an amazing cook and everyday I looked forward to what delicious treat she'd bring for us. She is such a lovely lady that we invited her to our wedding and the photos she took became some of our favourites. We cannot wait to stay again next year!!

10/10

The house had so much character and charm, plus it was very clean and maintained. Anastasia was an amazing host and even left us little baked goodies. The backyard offered lots of privacy and was a great place to hang out, do yoga, have a family dinner or cool off in the pool. The house was located a walking distance from 3 really good restaurants. Our favorite was Veranta but Olives was a close second and Adonis, the owner of Olives was so helpful in making sure our time in Crete was amazing. The island of Crete was rugged and offered beautiful views of the mountains and valleys. But one of our favorite things about the island was all the Mom and Pop taverna's in the little villages (My grandmother made this was the usual response...). Totally recommend and was very different than our days in Santorini (although we loved that also).

The property was outstanding and the owners were very detailed oriented making sure that our stay would be memorable. The villa is centrally located but the grounds are very peaceful. There was no road noise even though we were within walking distance to family owned restaurants and markets. The pool area was relaxing and well kept--we were serenading with the lovely chirping of birds each day. The bedrooms were spacious for 6 adults-2 on the first floor and a romantic master with ensuite on the second floor. We had ample space in the kitchen and the outdoor dining and BBQ area provided additional space as well. The villa is well maintained and cared for by the owners. What made this place special were the owners and their attention to detail! Anastasia was positively a wonderful woman who cares about people. She had the refrigerator stocked with food for breakfast and then she baked us the most delicious apple cake when she found out we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. When we left she gave us a jar of homemade orange marmalade! Elena was always available if we had any questions. The central location of the villa made it easy to drive to Heraklion, Chania and the south area of Crete. Rethymno, one of our favorite cities was a 10 minute drive with lots of things to explore. Thak you Anastasia for making this a memorable family vacation!
