Family villa Myrtia with heated pool, 2 minutes walking to local amenities

George is really kind and helpful. He helped make it a wonderful family holiday. Great location with lots of bars, cafes and a children’s play park in easy walking distance. Good cooking facilities and very comfy beds. We recommend the evening meal cooked by George’s mum.

We had a great stay at Villa Myrtia. From start to finish, the experience was excellent.George and his family were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our visit. This personal touch really made a difference.The villa itself was super clean and well-maintained. We especially appreciated that it was professionally cleaned twice during our 10-day stay, which is fantastic service.We felt very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the location. The proximity to the locals in the village was a big plus, giving us an authentic experience. Everything we needed was within easy walking distance.We would highly recommend Villa Myrtia to anyone looking for a relaxing, clean, and authentic stay!

We had an amazing two week stay in the Myrtia Villa accomodated by the most amazing host George who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed the most of our time. The villa is exactly as pictured and described and had all the necessary amenities for a family visit. It is located on a private driveway with plenty of parking in the heart of the village.The village is small but has plenty of character and the old town of Rethimno and the beaches of Petres and Episkopi are a short car or bus journey. We opted for the heating in the pool and it ensured we could enjoy it throughout the stay no matter the weather. This is a gem of a property and host and we will be recommending to family and friends if they wish to visit Crete.

We had a wonderful week in Villa Myrtia. The villa is situated in the middle of a small village with bakery, pizza restaurant and grocery stores just a short walk away. The drive to Rethymno is about 10 minutes and we went there a few times in the week. There are a lot of restaurants and bars in Rethymno with some superb fish restaurants on the harbour. The villa was cleaned throughout including fresh towels and sheets twice during our 10 day stay which was much appreciated. George and his family were very welcoming and were on call when we needed them.We would recommend the villa for a family as all of us had a great time.

This place was absolutely amazing! The pictures are true as shown. It is a beautiful home and the family is amazing and very welcoming. George was fantastic during the entire process. Had an answer for everything and a guy to help you with whatever you needed. The house was beautiful inside, very clean, comfortable with air conditioning as needed and great showers! Highly recommend the home cooked delivered meal option as it was absolutely amazing. Not only was it delicious the presentation the warmth and sincerity was just lovely. You felt very welcomed into their family. This is their family business that runs like you are part of their family unique experience. The town is quaint and local with options of food and coffee close by, but don’t be afraid to adventure out. We cannot wait to come back to this beautiful home thank you George and your family!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Myrtia. The villa is situated in a great location with all the amenities you need a short walk away and a short drive to the lovely city of Rethymno.The villa was delightful. Clean, with plenty of space and a fabulous pool. Thanks also to George and family for the generous food and excellent service. Will definitely come again.

We have just returned home from a 10 day family holiday in Villa Myrtia. Having not visited the area before I booked this villa based on previous reviews and have certainly not been disappointed. From the very first contact I have found George and his family to be the best possible hosts. The communication has been outstanding. They genuinely couldn’t have been more helpful. We managed to lock ourselves out of the villa one night. I sent George a message and he responded immediately and we were back in the house within a couple of minutes. We had a wonderful meal, cooked by George’s mum, which they delivered to the villa. The food was delicious and plentiful!! Also outstanding value. The villa itself is absolutely beautiful. So peaceful. We took advantage of the large stone barbecue and had several during our stay. The beds are super comfy. The air con very effective. The place is spotlessly clean. The villa is situated perfectly. Right back off the street and yet so convenient for all the amenities. We have stayed in many, many self catering cottages and villas over the years and I can honestly say we have never received such outstanding care and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa and plan to return to stay again. Thank you to George and his family for helping to make our holiday so special.

George communicates quickly before and during the stay. He made sure we were set then let us be. The villa was spotless and very well appointed. We didn’t cook or BBQ but it was available if we wanted to. Local amenities are super and trip to town short and easy. Would highly recommend.

George, the property manager, was friendly, super helpful and always kept in touch. The villa was everything we hoped for— attractive, comfortable, family-friendly and clean. We feel lucky to have stayed there!

it was a beautiful stay!!

We can’t thank George and his mother enough for making our stay in Crete more perfect. It is a beautiful villa, tranquil and relaxing and perfectly situated for exploring Crete. There are stores, bakeries and restaurants within easy walking distance. We chose to have George’s mother cook us dinner on our last night and it was amazing . Thank you George for quickly responding to all our questions and needs. We appreciated your suggestions and your help with the car rental.

We loved our 10 day stay at Villa Myrtia. It's conveniently situated in the heart of the Atsipopoulo village therefore close to a selection of supermarkets, cafe's, a bar and a few good restaurants, yet set off the road and therefore concealed from any village noise or activities. The villa is of traditional stone construction but with all modern facilities to ensure it's comfort, both inside and out. The pool area is lovely (we were staying in mid/late September therefore opted for pool heating, which was good for us but perhaps unnecessary in peak summer or should you not mind a bit of chill to the water). The village is very close to the larger town of Rethymno where you'll find quaint streets and plenty of bars/eateries. Atsipopoulo is only just over an hour's drive from either Chania or Heraklion airports (and both cities are worth a visit!). Also, near Heraklion, is the famous ancient Knossos which we enjoyed visiting. We also had a day crossing the mountains for a visit to the south of the island, which is also recommended. Crete, as with many other Greek Islands, has it's fair share of stray cats but we loved having our 'very own' cat + 2 young kittens who were regular visitors to the villa and kept us entertained (in return for us keeping them nourished no doubt!). Since our initial booking, communication with George was always prompt and polite. We would love the opportunity to return to this lovely villa sometime in the future. Thank you so much!
