Summary: We stayed at Villa Maria for 14 nights in September as a family of 7 adults and a 7 month old baby. The villa was beautiful and very well equipped. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly and made us feel extremely welcome.

Summary: Our stay at this beautiful villa was exceptional. Everything - the villa, the pool, the communication with the owner was just beyond our expectations. The BBQ area was cleaned after each use and replenished with charcoal; the rubbish left in the bin outside emptied every morning. The fresh towels and bedsheets were left for us to change. Elena and Nicos who were looking after our villa have made a wonderful surprise by baking a cake, they also brought us some local fruits and backed stuffed aubergine!! On arrival they have placed some snacks and water in the fridge for us!! Overall, we felt like really valuable guests. I would highly recommend this villa and would be happy to come back there again! Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable!!

Summary: I came to Crete with my husband and three children - all in their 20’s. We had an amazing time at the Villa. The pictures on the e website are accurate: beautiful pool, spacious living quarters, great kitchen. Comfortable rooms. The village is pretty and interesting and the nearby town, Panormo is lovely and welcoming. Above all - our hosts, Nicos and Eleni were incredibly helpful and friendly. They brought us lemons, fruit, cake- all kinds if treats. It was a fabulous vacation - atarting with this lovely home. Thanks so much

Summary: We stayed here for 10 days and it was absolutely lovely. Elena and Nikos were welcoming, as well as Nikos cleaning the BBQ each day and supplying with fresh coal. Easy access to Bali beach and other amenities! We would 100% recommend this to friends and family and would stay here again without a doubt. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

Summary: Plenty of room for 7 adults to have a memorable vacation and unwind. Crete is magical and this location was the perfect retreat we all needed with the views and distance from ‘city life’. The hosts are amazing and gracious and kind. HIGHLY recommend.

Summary: First off, the youngest member of our party (aged 11) would like to say “if you are reading this review book this villa now!”. Up front we should mention the amazing hosts Eleni and Nikos. We (2 adults and 2 children aged 13 & 11) had a fabulous stay in Villa Anemomylous II (Villa Maria) - we found it to be incredibly clean, spacious and well equipped for our stay. There is a great pool and plenty of areas/balconies to eat so can be in the shade or sun at any time of the day. We loved our breakfasts/lunches with a view and evening meals by the pool. The BBQ area was perfect and we have to thank Nikos who not only cleaned the BBQ daily after every use but also provided and topped up charcoal, firelighters and a lighter. There were plenty of towels etc and Eleni topped us up with fresh towels and bedding at regular intervals. This was in addition to the numerous deliveries of food - in our two week stay she brought us fresh tomatoes; a watermelon; oranges; lemons; stuffed aubergine mousakas and stuffed courgette flowers - all incredibly delicious (thank you Eleni!). Our only minor criticism would be that the mattresses are quite hard and take some getting used to but this didn’t detract from our stay. The villa is near Skepasti village which does have a bar and mini market but it didn’t look our thing so regularly visited the lovely harbour village of Panormo which is full of great restaurants/cafes, souvenir shops and supermarkets at literally a 5 minute drive. For main shopping the less touristy town of Perama was only 10 minutes away and has great butchers/bakers/fishmongers and larger supermarket options. Also nearby and definitely worth visiting are the Melidoni Cave (with a great cafe which we visited a few times just for the view and top notch milk-shakes) and Margarites (and it’s ceramic shops/tavernas). Finally, we also drove the rough road out of the village to the Kousistres beach (on Google maps - we parked at the top of the dirt road at the top of the zig-zag road down to the beach) a number of times. It was often deserted with shingle beach, good snorkelling plus a natural pool which the children loved. In summary we had a fabulous time at this villa and would recommend it to anyone; it is well located and equipped and we were incredibly well looked after by Eleni & Nikos. Thank you!

Summary: Villa was lovely and very well equipped. Beautiful surroundings and pool a great size and everyone loved. Hosts very welcoming and helpful with assisting to the local supermarkets as we didn't have a car and everything quite a distance away. Local beach Rethymnon was beautiful and everything you needed shops/restaurants all there. Very relaxing holiday, would definately go back.

Summary: Villa amazing and Nikos and his wife were lovely with regular gifts from the grounds - a hire car or excellent taxi service recommended by villa management is essential- nearby villages Panormos and Bali are not walkable but are both fabulous. Thoroughly recommended.

Summary: From our first communication with Valia, until the moment we closed the door on this beautiful villa for the final time, we were looked after incredibly well. We are two families of four and enjoy this type of holiday as it allows us the freedom to do as we please, without having to stick to regimented meal times, etc. The villa was outstanding. We were greeted by the owners and given a tour around, to ensure all facilities were shown. The cleanliness was just as we had hoped it would be and throughout our stay we were provided with fresh bedding, towels, stocks of toilet rolls and Mrs Nikos even brought fresh melons for us from their daughter’s farm. Each morning, Mr Nikos would clean the outside areas and pool, emptied the bin and even cleaned the BBQ and replenished the charcoal for us; going well above and beyond our expectations. This holiday has really surpassed previous villa holidays and we feel it would be very difficult to find anything better. Huge thanks to Valia and Mr and Mrs Nikos. We definitely hope to return in the future, The Edwickers and Hemingways.

Summary: Stayed here for 3 weeks, couldn’t fault the property or hosts! The villa is immaculate both inside and out, we were 2 families with teenagers and it met all of our requirements! The nearest village of Panormo is quaint with beautiful restaurants, tavernas and shops and of course beaches, very underrated but a hidden gem and we spent most of our evenings here. Would not hesitate in recommending this villa, can’t wait to get back! Thank you Nikos and Maria!
