La estancia ha resultado estupenda.
Thei y su equipo nos han tratado con mucho cariño y atención.
La casa está muy bien y el jardín y la piscina son simplemente naravillosos
Mooi en groot vakantiehuis met zwembad.zeer rustig en wat afgelegen.auto nodig .
Zeer goede en uitgebreide uitleg gekregen waar restaurants en fijne plaatsen te bekijken waren .
Ruim huis maar jammer dat de sanitaire voorzieningen niet helemaal in orde waren.Douchebak gelijkvloers te klein en geen douchekophouder en extra spatwand om water op te vangen. 2de badkamer mag douchekop dringend ontkalkt worden en er was amper druk op het water maar hier is weinig aan te doen, denk ik.
Er waren meer dan voldoende handdoeken aanwezig.
Goede bedden.
Klein afwasmachine aanwezig.
Dejligt hus med skøn pool og stor tagterrasse. Udlejer/hjælper var meget søde og hjælpsomme.
Huset har to udlejnings-nabohuse tæt på, så der kan være nabostøj.
Gode restauranter i gåafstand i Prines og gode strande ikke så langt fra huset.

Excellent. Peaceful but close to bars and a shop.
Great accommodation with a very friendly and helpful host. A quiet village setting but a short drive to beaches and towns. Would recommend.

Very nice house close to Rethymnon
We really enjoy our stay in Aloe villa located in a quiet area with a very nice view on the sea from the upper terrace and a lovely garden. The pool was perfect for our children (and for us too). The house was also very clean. We would recommend this place to our friends.

Aloe Villa
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and Thei’s recommendations for
Beach and Tavernas were spot on. We all loved Rethymnon.
Everybody very friendly and helpful. Kostis and his wife were always available and helpful. Cannot praise the family enough who owned and ran the Veranta Taverna and we will miss eating there as we did most nights. The villa was spotlessly clean and comfortable but considering it was advertised for 6-8 persons it was somewhat lacking. Only 5 outside chairs for eating at the patio table (and these had to be brought down from upstairs)and only 6 mugs. The downstairs bedroom did not have air conditioning and the fan was too noisy to use. A little bit of TLC needed! Will certainly go back to the area but would look for a different villa. Thank Thei for all her help and directions.
Brian and family (5).

Beautiful Villa, lovely host, amazing holiday
Thank you Thei and kostis for helping to make our holiday so enjoyable. Aloe is a very pretty Vila and we were very comfortable there. We all enjoyed the pool, it is lovely and private. We slept so well because it is a peaceful location.
Thei's recommendation regarding where to visit and where to eat were spot on. And as the owner and host she is outstanding, kind and friendly!!!!
Crete is a very beautiful island with so much to see and do and the people are so friendly. We would recommend Aloe villa wholeheartedly!
Thank you Thei.

Beautiful and practical holiday rental!
Thei was such an amazing hostess. We did not get to meet her but her helper kostis took care of all of our needs. She left us a helpful list of things to do too. The house and property are truly beautiful and child friendly. Our kids, 7 5 and 2 years old were right at home. The location was very central for reaching most things on Crete and super close to rethmynon. We loved it! No complaints.

Confortable villa in a convenient location
We really enjoyed Aloe Villa. Set in a wonderful location neither too close nor too far from the city of Rethymnon it is an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway.We really liked the view from the balcony and the flowery gardens that create a sense of privacy and tranquility. The pool was also crystal-clear and in general the villa is very cozy. We spent an exquisite holiday, I would definitely recommend it.

Very nice villa close to everything you need
We stayed some wonderful days in this quiet place watching the time go by. Complete inventory, very clean and everything works properly. Lots of space for the two of us. We even 'forgot' the telly and enjoyed the kalmth. Good restaurants at short walking distancy, butcher around tehe corner, mini market nearby. Perfect location for us to explore the Rethimno area including its south. Nice contact with the owner and Kostis. Definitely recommendable!

Amazing holiday
We are more than satisfied with everything regarding our holiday in Aloe Villa! The Villa is well equipped and truly beautiful. Its location would be described as the most suitable, in a gorgeous neighbourhood near other villas. The centre of the village, restaurants and bus stations are easily accessible on foot. We were stunned by the beauty of the amazing colours and unforgettable aromas of the garden, as well as the majesty of the view. Thei, the owner, was a very warm and helpful person and we definitely plan to book the villa next year for our vacation in Crete. We highly recommend a vacation in Aloe Villa!!!
