Fantastic family holiday in a great villa!

We had a fantastic stay in Villa Naya. 11 of us stayed in the villa for 11 days, and not once did we feel on top of each other as there is ample space. The villa itself was lovely, and you could tell most things had been considered, such as there being a children's play area inside. Whilst you could tell some things needed a bit of TLC, everything was in very good condition and you could also tell it had been looked after by Natassa, who was lovely! Location wise the villa was so close to 5 stars. It is the perfect distance to walk in and out of Rethymno comfortably, but be prepared for a good burn in your calves from the hills you have to get up to get to it. All in all, our family had a fantastic time, and the villa and team added to this, and there has already been talk of possibly booking it again next year. Thank you!

Nanny’s 60th birthday holiday

It was a perfect setup and well proportioned for our family of 10 with an added plus of a lift. The location was fantastic with panoramic views of the sea and the old town. Being elevated meant we often had a lovely cool breeze a welcome relief in the hot weather. The children old and young loved the pool, table tennis, pool table and jacuzzi. Communications were great and helpful when booking activities and trips to Baja Beach. Would highly recommend for larger families of all ages. We can’t thank the team enough Kind regards Sue

Amazing Vacation House

Just as described! Plenty of room for two families of 4. Absolutely loved all the restaurants and shops in old town which was a short walk or super quick 10 euro taxi ride. Our host was exceptional as well. About an hour to Heraklion where we did a sailing cruise which was amazing. And Knossos as well, highly recommend. Absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for a dream vacation in Crete.

Villa description accurate but still Everything about this property went beyond our expectations. Communications before and during our stay were excellent. Property managers ensured every need was met. Layout and facilities were perfect for the needs of three generations of family. Car hire was useful for grocery shopping but taxis plentiful and otherwise little need to leave the villa! Our own chef was definitely ‘the icing on the cake’. Special holiday

Fantastic holiday sad to leave

We stayed as a family celebrating two birthdays during our trip. Etouri’s communications before and throughout our stay were fantastic, they responded to all questions immediately. They arranged all our transfers to and from the airport and also gave great recommendations for restaurants and handled all the reservations. The villa was beautiful, had everything we needed and more. All rooms were spacious and the communal areas great for a family. The pool and the outdoor area was great, beautiful views and a great spot for watching the sunrise and sunset each day. There’s a supermarket at the bottom of the hill from the villa and we would spend the day around the pool and then walk down the hill to the many restaurants and bars in the evenings. The walk back to the villa was up a steep hill but fine for us and a good way to walk off dinner, however those less mobile would probably struggle, but there were plenty of taxis should you need them. We would not hesitate in returning, or booking another property which was managed through etouri in the future.

Lovely property with great facilities, nothing was too much trouble. The walk into town/beachfront isn't too far about 10 minutes where there are lots of bars, shops and restaurants, coming back uphill afterwards isn't fabulous :) but the off set is you have fantastic views by the pool and bedrooms. We would highly recommend

Fantastic villa and location

We stayed at the villa for 10 nights and it was fantastic! Location was great for walking to beach (10-15 min walk) or to old town (20min walk) and back as long as still light out and you have good shoes, (road is hill and has lots of loose gravel) . Walking home is uphill and would not recommend after dark only because it is a narrow road with curves and cars coming or going that may not see you. Beds comfy, whole house spotless, all hard surface flooring. The only downfall were the speakers in the media room were bad for those who wanted to watch movies but the tv speakers sufficed. The villa has 1 bedroom with king bed and ensuite bathroom on pool level. (Laundry, wet bar, workout and media room are all also on that level) Pool area is huge with comfy lounge chairs and views for miles! On entry level is kitchen, dining, powder room, family room with doors leading to huge patio, level 2 has 3 BRs (one king with ensuite) other 2 both with 2 twins and full bath to share. All have views/doors to outside patio or small balcony. Then on third floor is one more BR with king and ensuite (shower is separate from sink and toilet and all still connected to BR and a door to a large balcony. I say this just to give lay of house which was hard to figure out with listing. For heavy suitcases, there is an elevator that serves pool level, entry level and 2nd level but not top floor. Stairs worked great for us. Will absolutely stay here again on our next visit!

Perfect Home with Fantastic Views for Family Needing 5 Bedrooms in Rethymno

We needed a home in Rethymno with (5) five bedrooms for our immediate 3-generational family. The reviews for this location were helpful and helped us to choose Villa Naya for our (1) one week stay. First of all, the views are fantastic! We enjoyed eating outside a couple of times and watching the sunset. Also, the management company of the property were very responsive. We had help in getting anything that we needed. We were in Rethymno for our daughter's wedding at AgrecoFarms and had a couple of unique requests. Etouri associates were always quick to respond, friendly, and very helpful. We appreciate being able to stay in such a wonderful home. This was our first time in Crete, and we enjoyed Rethymno very much! We had about 80 wedding guests staying in different places in Rethymno from age 12 to 78, and all had fun - much to do for all different ages.

We wanted a luxury villa for a family holiday and this villa did not disappoint on any level. The villa was very modern and clean in a beautiful location with stunning views of the sea and the town yet only a 10 minute walk to the sea front and all amenities. Spoilt for choice with restaurants and supermarkets close by. The villa was extremely well equipped for 10 people across all ages.

Great Villa - perfect for big family. Amazing views.

We rented the Villa to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Our group of 9 people included 3 generations - with 3 kids (8, 10 and 12) and 6 adults. The Villa is very spacious, modern and the views of the ocean, the coast line and the old town are breathtaking. Natassa was extremely responsive with everything we needed and the whole Etouri team were great and always available. They were particularly helpful in arranging all of our taxis for us. It was a nice surprise to have a full concierge service supporting the Villa. One night we hired the Private chef service that they recommended - Naked Chefs - and it was incredible! I would absolutely recommend them if you get a chance to have a wonderful dinner cooked for your party at the Villa. The one downside is the 30 minute walk to the old town. It was a challenge for my parents (in their mid 70’s) but the trade-off was the privacy and views from the Villa, situated up above the coastline and the beaches. A taxi to or from the old town was only 6 or 7 euros. Overall, I’d give it 5/5. A great vacation and I would absolutely recommend it to others. Thanks for an unforgettable time.

A VERY ENJOYABLE STAY

The villa was as spacious as it looked on the photos - clean through out and room for everyone The pool area was very nice as was the shade on the balcony. The location of the villa was only a 5 min walk to main supermarket and 10 to the beach front -however i would strongly recommend a taxi back from the beach front. Overall I would have liked to have given a 4 and a 1/2 out of 5 stars - the only slight negative i can comment on is that only 2 baths (which considering 5 double rooms) in the villa and there isnt really a feature bedroom although yes they are all double sized. All correspondence/arriving/departing was dealt with ifirst class - many thanks etouri

Beautiful villa, amazing holiday

We've just returned from a week staying at this beautiful villa. We were a party of 7 adults and 2 infants. The villa was clean and well maintained and we were well looked after by the owners and team. The pool area is excellent. There is a small shallow area sectioned off in the pool which was perfect for our 2 year old daughter to play in. From the pool area there are also gorgeous views looking straight out to the ocean. We would definitely stay here again!
