An unforgettable stay

This villa is simply amazing! It is absolutely spotless and so well stocked with equipment, even small items such as dishwasher pads and toilet roll! Eva, the owner, also provided some local produce to make the holiday start smoothly. The villa is very spacious with high open beam ceilings and cool tile floors. Every window has a mosquito net, although there seem to be very few mosquitoes on Crete! The mid-week linen change and quick clean were a lovely touch. The views and the quietness are gorgeous and the pristine pool, tastefully lit up at night, makes an evening simply special. Eva is an experienced and very able owner who is always on hand for a chat if needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and my children were always delighted to see her, especially when she brought round some desserts!! Crete is a beautiful and interesting island and villa Kivotos is the perfect place to stay. Recommend 100%.

Amazing Villa

A beautiful villa in the hills with a wonderful sea view, its only 10 minutes from the old town of Rythmno which boasts a venetian harbour, shops and plenty of restaurants. Just down the road is the beach with many access points to the sea offering sun beds, parasols and many places offering drinks and food. The villa itself is excellent, offering a beatiful terrace to enjoy the view, a lovely pool with plenty of seating areas both in and out of the shade to enjoy the weather. Inside its well maintained, clean and modern, with each room offering air con. Plenty of space as well with 3 large bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, both with showers and a spacious kitchen-diner area adjacent to the terrace if the sun gets a little too hot , there is even a room with a selection of toys and games that kept our toddler entertained for ages. Our hosts were wonderful and very accommodating, they provided some basic food and drink on arrival, and even some of their own home grown olive oil! Cannot more thoroughly recommend this villa, some places the pictures flatter to deceive but this place matched up to expectations and even exceeded them.

Cretan Paradise

The photographs do not do justice to this beautiful villa, location and views. Absolutely stunning!! The villa is situated in the hills overlooking the seaside resort of Platanes, to the east of Rethimno and a 10 minute drive away from the beach and main shops for food. Ideal location for a relaxing holiday by the pool combined with some days at the beach and a great base to explore what the island has to offer. The warm breeze is a welcome addition to the heat of the day. There are plenty of areas in and around the pool and gardens to accommodate sun worshipers and those who prefer a it of shade. The pool area is great and our girls loved it. Our hosts Eva and Sakis were wonderful. Eva met us to guide us up the hill and was always at hand for a chat and advice, and even made us a delicious Zuccini pie. Best pool ever - cleaned every day - was immaculate and water always very warm. A few musts: Local Tavernas to try - Taverna Fantastico and Thavma Cafe and Restaurant - traditional cretan food with stunning views. Chania - Venetian port is beautiful, and we spent hours wandering the narrow streets Thank you Eva, Zania and Sakis for making our stay a wonderful family memory

Perfect Vacation Getaway

Our stay at this Villa was absolutely perfect for my family of four! Eva, our host, and her family were extremely hospitable and helpful. She checked in on us daily and advised us on which places to see. The Villa is fully equipped, with spacious, clean rooms and has an amazing view. Eva stocked our refrigerator and gifted us a bottle of fresh olive oil from her garden. She was extremely kind and sweet. Many people travel to the more mainstream and slightly overrated islands of Greece, whereas the actuality of Greece's nature and culture is in Crete. There is so much to explore in Crete and the most perfect place to live in is Eva's Villa! Thank you so much for your hospitality, we would love to come back again! xx

Best villa we have ever stayed in!

We have just spent two fabulous weeks at the Kivotos Villa. Located up in the hills above Rethymno, it is a great base to explore all the main sights in the Central region. You need a car and we hired a VW Polo which was absolutely perfect for the journeys that we made, particularly some of the narrow alleys in the villages. We visited beaches on the north and south coast, the main historical sights and spent time in Chania and Rethymno. We ate out most days and every meal we had was delicious. The villa itself is modern, well kitted out with everything you need and generously stocked with all the basics when you first arrive. It is cleaned twice a week, highly secure and air conditioned. Rethymno is only 15 mins drive and there is a local supermarket just 5 mins down the road. The views from the terrace over look the beach on one side and the mountains on the other. So we had beautiful sun rises over the mountains and sunsets over the ocean. Just breathtaking. We have two kids aged 11 and 9 and there wasn't a day that they weren't in the pool. It was very much their highlight! A great base for families or couples travelling together. We have stayed in villa's in France over the years and this was by the far the best. Highly recommended!

Stunning holiday house

It was very enjoyable and we loved the swimming pool! We also loved that there were loads of toys for us to play with including my new favourite toy, flippers. Eva was very friendly and gave us lots of brilliant recommendations for dinner and places to go. We think the villa was beautiful, inside and out, and we would love to go back there again.

A car is nessesary, in this calm and quiet area. Eva is just the best host, so helpfull and kind. The pool in the garden is amazing. Easy access to super markets and restaurants in Platanes, just a 10 min drive from the house. I really hope we can come back one day.

Wir haben im September zwei wunderbare Wochen im Haus "Kivotos" verbracht. Der Blick von der Terrasse war wunderschön und die Ruhe dort hat sehr gut getan. Eva und ihr Mann waren sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, wegen Fragen immer erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Der Kühlschrank war bei unserer Ankunft mit allem Wichtigen gefüllt und wir durften auch ihr selbst hergestelltes Olivenöl und Marmelade genießen. Handtücher und Bettwäsche und das gesamte Haus wurden alle paarTage von einem sehr freundlichen und ordentlichem Herrn gereinigt. Um den Pool hat sich Evas Mann täglich gekümmert.

Fenomenal schönes Ferienhaus

Wir waren mit zwei Familien im Oktober im Ferienhaus und es war einer der schönsten Herbsturlaube die wir jeh erlebt haben. Das Haus liegt sehr schön, ist sehr sauber und die Bilder werden vom VOrorteindruck eher noch übertroffen. Auch bei uns war der Kühlschrank mit dem nötigsten bestückt so das man ganz in Ruhe ankommen und das nächste Frühstück genießen konnte. Die Kinder haben es genossen im Garten herum zu strolchen und den Pool zu benutzen. Das Haus ist der Ideale Ausganzpunkt für Exkursionen in die Umgebung. Alles im Allem sehr empfehlenswert.

Wonderfull stay

We have been kindly received by Eva, the villa is spacious, clean and have elegantly furnished guest room. Thee landscape is really lovely, little set back of the coast what we appreciated for calm with a stunning view over the bay of Rethimno. Nous avons été gentiment accueillis par Eva, la maison est spacieuse, très bien entretenue et le cadre est magnifique: un peu en retrait de la côte ce qui est un avantage pour le calme avec une vue imprenable sur la baie de Rethimno.

Excellent séjour

Ce qui rend le séjour agréable, c'est bien sûr la qualité de la maison (aménagée avec goût, bien équipée, spacieuse), les prestations (ménage 2 fois/semaine, grande piscine très propre entretenue tous les jours, quelques victuailles à l'arrivée, tout le nécessaire pour le quotidien: sel/poivre/liquide vaisselle/papier aluminium...), le jardin, la vue sur mer mais surtout l'attention d'Eva pour tous les détails. Une présence discrète mais attentive, une disponibilité, des conseils qui facilitent les vacances. La maison est assez isolée, il faut avoir une voiture mais l'emplacement permet de visiter la région et les commerces sont à une poignée de km. Bref, nous recommandons cette location car la prestation est d'une très grande qualité.

Magnifique villa pour des vacances réussies !

Nous venons de passer une semaine de vacances dans la villa d'Eva à Maroulas- Nous étions 8 au total, 4 adultes et 4 enfants. L'accueil d'Eva a été parfait tout comme la communication avant et pendant le séjour. Nous avons reçu de nombreuses informations précieuses pour organiser au mieux nos vacances et découvrir la région autour de Maroulas. La villa est parfaitement conforme aux photos: très bien décorée, très soignée et entretenue. Elle est située au calme, sur les hauteurs avec une vue panoramique sur la baie avec en prime le chant des cigales ! La piscine est appréciable pour se rafraîchir après les journées de découverte de la Crète. Nous sommes repartis ravis de cette semaine de vacances et recommandons la villa les yeux fermés. J'en profite pour remercier Eva pour sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse.
