    Hi All We stayed at the lovely Nisos Villa, it was a wonderful 10 days, the Villa is beautiful, and we were well looked after by Dimitra and her lovely family. Well, situated with lots of things to do locally in walking distance. It is a home from home, couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

    Villa's great, really decent ground floor open kitchen and dining room with a seating area opening onto the pool. It was spotlessly clean and we have fresh towels and bed linen every few days. It's a 5 minute walk from the beach and numerous local restaurants and a 10 minute car journey from Rethymno.

    Gorgeous villa, very clean & decorated lovely throughout. Welcome food package was a nice touch. Hosts were easily contactable & helpful with recommendations for the local area. In my opinion a hire car is a must, although bus stop was a short walk. Highly recommend for family break.

    We were very pleased with our stay at the Nisos Villa. The home is well furnished, super clean, and very comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning worked well and the pool was sparkling. Although we did not use the basement, there was a ping pong table and treadmill there. The owner, Dimitra, and her husband were warm and gracious; they offered us fresh vegetables from their garden as well as helping us out when we forgot our key and when we needed local activity and restaurant advice. The home is situated a short distance from the main road, but far enough away that road noise was not an issue. The beach is close enough to walk, but we usually drove because it was so hot. There was free parking at the Cafe Eleven right on the beach, which we patronized on Dimitra's recommendation. This house and village is close to Rethimno (about 10-15 minutes by car) and about halfway between Chania and Heraklion. Since we had a rental car and wanted to explore the island, it was a good location for us. I highly recommend this property.

    We loved our stay at Nisos Villa. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect to access the southern beaches. Dimitra is such a gracious host and met us upon arrival with a full refrigerator. This is a great property that we would stay at again.

    The villa is exactly as the description. Its nicely located outside of the noise of tourist areas, but close enough that within 10 mins drive you are in the centre of Rethymno, or 2 mins to the sea. The garden feels very private and the pool was great. 3 lovely sized double rooms and a bonus lower space with table tennis and some gym equipment. We made great use of the hot tub which has a view of the sea. Dimitra our host was very helpful and friendly. She has put together a very informative information pack and she made it clear if we needed anything she would provide it. The fridge and larder had many essentials on our arrival which was greatly appreciated due to our late night arrival. There was plenty of space to park our car on the road next to the villa and there are tavernas, supermarkets etc within a 1 minute drive. If you are a bit fitter than us then they are in walking distance. The villa was cleaned every 3 days with a text or call given to us in advance to tell us of the time and the pool was well maintained. The Villa is in a great location if you want to explore the island, we did Heraklion, Chania, Hersonissis, Agia Marina, Agia Galini as well as Rethymno all within 2 hours so not excessive driving and some amazing scenery. Rethymno itself is an amazing mix of old town, shops, harbour, restaurants, beaches and vibrant night life. We spent a lot of time in the old town area and a good few nights in Billia's Billiards playing pool. Which had a great vibe.

    We had a great experience and hope we can go back one day. Dimitria made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond as a host. There was food in the villa when we arrived and she even got us a small gift when we left which the kids loved. She also helped organising taxis and anything else we needed. The villa was clean and very kid friendly, short walk to a few good local tavernas and cafes plus a great supermarket down the road. Overall great holiday.

    We had a great stay in the villa, you have everything you need. The pool is a bit cold but the jacuzzi on the balcony can be heated. The kids loved the toys and everything was fine. A 5-minute walk takes you to the beach and some shops and restaurants. Valia is very accommodating and helpful, she surprised us with homemade biscuits, an Easter bread and we even got a farewell gift. We can highly recommend the accommodation and would book the villa again. Thank you for the great stay Valia
