Villa with private pool & sea view for absolute privacy and serenity.

This was the most relaxing place that we have stayed. It was so tranquil and very nicely appointed. I had the best sleeps! It is totally lovely to sit out in the sun with your morning coffee and listen to the birds, goat bells and insects.

We had the most amazing stay from start to finish. We got there after midnight due to flight times, but were offered a guide to get us there or clear directions with a code for a key box. When we got there, the property had outside lights to guide us in and a fridge with a home cooked meal in, snacks, wine, olive oil and fruit. :-). So welcoming. The next day when we woke up we realised how beautiful the villa was and the views are just stunning. There is a twisty mountain road to get up to the villa but it’s very quiet. You’ll see more goats than cars. Take your time and enjoy the scenery and all is well. The pool was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable, the showers wonderful and it was very well equipped. The villa is within half an hour of Rethymno which is delightful. We were also within an easy drive of Knossos, Chania, Heraklion and Lake Kournas. One day however, we just stayed home and enjoyed the relaxation of the villa. :-)As we had a super late flight home and as no one was due to arrive the day we left, our hosts kindly agreed that we could stay way beyond the check out time and enjoy our last day without rushing. We stayed until 4pm and we are so appreciative of the kindness. We even received a parting gift. I cannot recommend Harkia Villas enough. Simply stunning. X.

Set back in a very secluded and quiet area, very clean and tidy, with all the things we needed for a lovely stay. The beds were incredibly comfy and the hosts were very helpful and friendly The casserole and salad on the first night were a very welcome surprise .

Perfect peace and privacy.Thank you to Vaso for looking after us during our stay, cooked us a lovely meal before we arrived and at the end when we left, not to mention a lovely cake too, plus leaving fresh eggs. everything was fantastic from start to finish..Definitely WE WILL BE BACK !!!

From start to finish, this was one of the best rental experiences we've ever had. The communication with the owners was outstanding, they were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had everything we needed. It really made all the difference and set the tone for a relaxing, worry free trip.The property itself was perfect in every way: clean, beautifully maintained, well-equipped, and exactly as described (if not better!). Every detail was thought through, making it feel like a true home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for more.Highly recommend staying here - you won’t be disappointed!

This villa exceeded our expectations in every level. The location was quiet and serene with sweeping views of the wild Cretan mountains, gorge and sea. The home was spacious, in excellent working order in all regards and had the most comfortable beds Coco Mat. The owners Nick and Vasiliki are great led us with a full course dinner, wine, olive oil and fruit which was completely unexpected but very much appreciated. They are excellent people who understand Filoxenia, a Greek term referring to hospitality. I highly recommend this property for your next stay Rethymno. A car rental is a must, fyi.

Fantastic welcome from Vaso including a lovely homecooked meal. The villa is lovely, we felt instantly at home. Well equipped, comfortable and clean. Loved relaxing in and by the pool.Do go and find the small kafenion behind the church up in Harkia, couldn't believe how welcome we were made to feel. To much to explore in a week, we will be back.Many thanks

Very nice stay at Crete. The house was wonderful. At our arrival on Easter we were welcomed with a nice meal. The pool was pleasant.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay, the hosts were fabulous and nothing was too much bother considering we managed to livl ourselves out the first night after a long drive. The villa is spacious, clean and has everything you need it’s like home from home. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve ever stayed in.

Wonderful

wounderful stay in wounderful island. Perfect hosts. A little bit windy, but it's an island ... Thanks to the hosts for their hospitality and their delicious food ...
