Top Hotels Near Eleutherna in Rethymno from AU$57

"The most perfect holiday rental. From the hosts generosity, to the location and beautiful property, it was idyllic. "

"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. "

"A Perfect Start to a Relaxing HolidayWe had a truly lovely time at the villa. Everything was exactly as described – clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. We were greeted with a thoughtful gift basket and a delicious evening meal, which was such a lovely touch to kick off our stay. It really set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Highly recommended – we’d definitely return!"

"Everything was wonderful, we felt very good in the villa. Very clean and the owner was very attentive with us."

"Thank you so much Zacharias for a relaxing 11 nights in your beautiful villa. We had the best time and from first booking the villa to leaving the villa, your kindness and helpfulness was amazing. Your villa is so peaceful and in a lovely country setting but within easy reach of local tavernas and shops. Thank you for the lovely meal, drinks etc which greated us on arrival and thank you for the kind gifts on leaving. We will definitely return. Amazing holiday in a beautiful villa "

"I can’t recommend this villa more. It is exactly as pictured. It was stunning and very clean and tidy. We were met on arrival and given a tour of the house. Cleaners came twice whilst we were there and were very friendly. It is located not far from the picturesque village of Margarites. You will need a car if you would like to go out and about. It was so peaceful and quiet there. I would definitely return."

"We absolutely loved our stay in Green Paradise. A beautiful villa with a really good mix of traditional features with well appointed modern facilities. The villa is nice and spacious and very faithful to its on line photos. The outside is actually much nicer in reality with the most spectacular views which only get better when the sun sets. The little town of Margaretes is only couple of minutes by car and about a 10 min walk. It has a nice selection of tavernas and little ceramics shops. We really enjoyed the food at all the places we ate at in the village. You will definitely need a car to explore the local area and really recommend the town and beach at Bali and Panorma. Elias the host was always very quick to respond to questions and both check in and check out was very easy and efficient. The villa was cleaned very thoroughly 3 times in our 11 day stay so that was great. Thanks again - we had the most fabulous holiday and would not hesitate to visit again. "

"Stunning. Would definitely go back "

"This modern villa is spotlessly clean throughout with panoramic views in every direction. Even from inside the Villa the view through the windows changes each day like a living painting. It’s spectacular. The grounds are completely enclosed and child friendly with plenty of space for kids to play and adults to chill. The gardens are very well maintained and watered, if you’re from the UK think of a national trust garden with Mediterranean plants. It is also very well lit in the evenings with the BBQ dining area overlooking the top half of Crete (not exaggerating) being one of the gardens hi-lights.The Villa feels secluded in it’s own hillside setting but is at most a 7 minute drive back down to shops, bars, restaurants and the beach. So on those sweltering afternoons where the heat of the coast is getting too much, in 10 minutes you can be in your own gorgeous pool with a mountain breeze. Perfect!Eleni deserves her own 5* review but I’m running out of space! A flawless host who is kind, caring, quick to respond to any messages and super friendly. Thank you Eleni! There are no downsides, the beds are comfy, the pool is sparkling, the garden is stunning, the water pressure is great, the wifi is fast, I could go on and on.Stop searching now and book this place, you wont regret it and you’ll never want to leave.Thank you so much!
