Aprhodite villa, Private Pool, Near Amenities

The villa was in an Ideal location for us as we had a car.There is a parking space. The villa is very comfortable with a lovely pool. Had a very relaxing stay, villa had everything we needed. The host was very friendly and told us everything we need to know. We were visited by three cats which we loved and they just added to the charm of the villa. Would highly recommend.

Nice place and location, good for a family.

This property was everything the website showed. The owner was present when we arrived and he helped us understand all we needed to know. The location was superb! Close to all we wanted to do during our stay.

We stayed at Villa Aphrodite in Adele during August. Prior to leaving England I was saving the number for the host into my phone; I allowed it to ring once by accident. He immediately called me back and made the arrangements regarding the keys. Straight away, it was clear that Angelos was a very attentive host. We arrived late at night; the following morning he visited us to explain the intricacies of the villa and the cleaning arrangements. Our cleaning lady, Irene, was top notch. She came twice per week, changing all towels and bed linen each time. We found her to be incredibly friendly and by far the best cleaning lady of anywhere we have ever rented. As a small family group, this villa is hard to beat; fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (including a washing machine and a dishwasher) and located fifteen minutes or so drive away from the beautiful town of Rethymnon where we went to eat in the evenings. There are plenty of local beaches and everyone is friendly and helpful. We have visited this area twice previously, staying in different villas and this is the one to which we would return. If we had to say one improvement, it would be that the dishwasher could do with rinsing through. This would be incredibly picky but would make the place absolutely perfect. Thank you for a marvellous stay.

Villa Aphrodite is an excellent holiday villa with everything you could wish for to enjoy a great holiday in the sunshine. The housekeeping service was fantastic. Cleanliness and amenities was superb. The owner was extremely friendly and professional and wanted to ensure that his guests had a great stay. We would definitely recommend this villa for a family holiday. Thank you!

This is a 2 bedroom villa, with bath, shower and wc upstairs, and a second wc with a shower downstairs. Outside is a pool, patio, outdoor shower, BBQ and ample parking. That covers the basics...in essence this is a superbly well equipped villa, quality fittings and furniture. As well as the pool area to sit out on, there is an upstairs balcony for each of the two bedrooms. And a decent kitchen is part of the open plan downstairs. All topped with air conditioning in the downstairs room and each bedroom. The villa is wholly oriented to the east, bar a couple of small windows and a small north facing balcony. This means it catches the morning sun through to about teatime. There's enough space and equipment to conjure shade if the heat gets too much. We enjoyed meeting our owner, and the pool guy and cleaner, all of whom do a good job. The local shop (Just around the corner) has enough stock to keep you going for breakfast and thereafter. If you need more there's other local shops and a Lidl in a few miles. Location is somewhat away from the local centres of activity, so other than the local taverna (which is perfectly fine but has a relatively limited food offer) you will need to travel at least to the next village, and you'll need transport for it. The upside of this is the villa is quiet enough to enjoy the sounds of rural Greece, which includes the buzzards that regularly traverse the skies. On the whole, it's a lovely villa, and for our first time on Crete was a delightful introduction.

After a delayed night flight, a wrong turning and a punctured tyre - we finally arrived to find the owner was still waiting for us with the key and some home made Greek goodies and produce. What fabulous,warm hospitality! It's a sharp turn off the National Road to get to Adele, so it's worth checking the route on Google Earth especially if you are due to arrive in the dark. Everything at the Villa is run efficiently and well: the housekeeper arrives regularly, the pool is cleaned out and we even saw the gardener on our last day. The pool is a welcome addition and there is enough shade surrounding the terrace to provide a welcome relief from the intense summer sun. We enjoyed living amongst the locals and bought locally produced olive oil, bread and fish to cook on the BBQ from the corner shop and mini market just outside the village. Whilst you do need a car, it's not far from the plethora of beaches and bays and other local attractions. The furthest we travelled to was Phaistos and Aghia Triada which we thought were archaelogical gems and we also explored the Armari Valley with its spectacular mountain ranges, natural water springs and scenery, stopping off for lunch at a traditionalTaverna tucked away in one of the mountain villages. Moni Arkadi, was a memorable visit with its turbulent history and we had a memorable lunch at the Faragi mountain Taverna whilst our daughter was kept amused in their garden playground. Rethymnon and Xania are great towns to explore with their shops, ports and architecture. Try a Rethymnon beer too! We had a relaxing summer holiday yet enjoyed exploring this part of this area of Crete. Thank you

Fantastic place, very kind owner, all perfect, thanks

If you are looking for great night life, this villa isn't for you, however, if you are looking for a relaxing holiday, this place will suit you to a tee. The villa is in a small village, which has 1 mini market, 1 petrol station and 1 taverna. The villa has all that you need for a relaxing holiday. It has its own swimming pool, which is a fine size for this villa. The rooms are all modern and the beds are comfortable. All in all there is everything you need for a peaceful holiday.

The villa is amazing and was exactly what I wanted for a holiday. The villa has everything it states it does, including all the necessary cutlery, pots, pans, a washing machine, a dishwasher, etc. The swimming pool was very nice and was cleaned a few times during our stay. The villa is very spacious with the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and plenty of seating area both inside and out to eat or have a drink. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast outside near the pool which gave it the true holiday feeling. The villa is everything you could want and more. The only criticism I have of the stay is that the owner came to the villa too often. Whilst it was very much appreciated that he was checking that we were ok and had everything we wanted/needed, too many visits make it uncomfortable and slightly frustrating. During our 7 day stay the owner came to the villa on at least 4 of those days. Perhaps less visits or some notice if he was going to visit rather than turning up out of the blue would be appreciated. It is slightly awkward sitting down to breakfast and having an unannounced visit in the middle of eating. That said, the villa and the holiday were perfect and the owner was very quick to deal with any issues we raised, such as no shower curtain in the downstairs shower, he returned the following morning with a curtain for us. I would definitely recommend this villa for anyone looking for a nice holiday and I will definitely be returning very soon.
