This gorgeous villa stands in an enviable cliff-side setting overlooking the Sea of Crete and the endless olive groves, and it’s reachable within a 6-minute drive from the town of Rethymnon.

This property is ideal for extended families with kids (play ground, baby amenities, toys, books, etc.), elders (no stairs), sports lovers (table tennis, fitness accessories, jogging), couples (idyllic setting, romantic sunsets, privacy) or groups of friends (big outdoor spaces, BBQ facilities, board games).

Summary: Villa mitochi is absolutely stunning with beautiful gardens and fantastic views. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The host was so friendly and accommodating. Dealing with all our needs swiftly and efficiently. Highly recommend this place
clare m. Jun 19, 2024 08:41:17 PM
Summary: We are a family of five me and husband, our brother and 2 20 year old kids. Priority is exactly as described. We mostly used the outdoors other than when sleeping. We enjoyed staying in rethaymo area. Visited Damion beach, chania, and spent our last night in Heraklion to catch morning ferry. Location gave us ability to go to lots of places in rental car. Pool is great. Host arranged for takeaway dinner to meet us when we arrived which was so helpful after a long day of traveling.
Maryke S. Sep 23, 2023 04:33:46 PM
Summary: Lovely property with lots of different outdoor spaces, great beds and modern furnishings. The pool area was lovely.
Roger Smith Aug 3, 2023 02:13:16 AM
Summary: We visited at the the start of July. Everything was just as we hoped . The villa was lovely - clean and had all we needed. The pool was perfect for swimming lengths and/or relaxing while looking down to the coast or (our favourite) the hills. Rethymno is only a few minutes'drive away and has great restaurants. Marina was really helpful and thoughtful. Wish we were there now!
Jan F. Sep 5, 2022 09:50:57 PM
Summary: We had a couple of weeks at the Villa. Marina was amazing and so helpful. She is the perfect host and made sure we were well looked after. The pool was so nice and the whole place is second to none. Highly recommended for families and/or couples. Spacious and superb location to relax. Would recommend a car. We had so many activities that were easily accessible. Scuba diving, jet skis, paragliding and so much more. In heaven with the food. Restaurants were so good and in amongst the activities, a lazy day by the pool meant a local delivery or Bbq. Easy to drive down to the Marina or a gentle stroll down and taxi back. Thank you Marina.

Summary: We stayed at Villa Metochi for 2 weeks using both the main house and studio. Everything about the property was perfect. It’s located about 1.5 m from the centre of Rethymno and there’s a bit of a hill to get there. A car is recommended. But wow, it’s definitely worth the journey. The villa is a little paradise . Beautifully kept grounds, super pool, spotlessly clean villa (and studio) both of which are both appointed stylishly with all the facilities you might need. Marina, the host, is unbelievably helpful, always available for info and promptly dealing with queries. Marina sorted a meal home delivery for us when we arrived, provided invaluable info on supermarkets, great restaurants and even local butchers. The location is a drive from town but, not too far, and means it’s peaceful and quiet making a day by the pool a real treat. Couldn’t recommend the villa highly enough. If we return to Crete we’ll definitely look at Villa Metochi availabiiity first.

Summary: The villa was everything we wanted and more. We were visiting Rethymno for a family Wedding, and this property gave us the base to enjoy a family holiday with the ability to attend the Wedding and be part of the group when desired. Ermis the dog was an expected host at the villa, but he was amazingly friendly and whilst we had concerns about what would need to be done to look after him (nothing, by the way) he actually made us feel like he was looking after us! What a star! Marina looked after our every need, arranged a takeaway to be delivered for us on arrival day and was always on hand for any help we needed.
Pablo J. Aug 24, 2021 01:05:49 PM
Summary: Spacious house including an amazing and friendly dog. Very convenient for children and teens. The only thing that we we would have liked for a more comfortable stay would be
Christian L. Jul 26, 2021 10:23:34 PM
Summary: Me and my three kids (12, 12 and 13) had a sensational week at Marina’s house. Communication was great and check in was in person and smooth. Everything worked and the pool and garden were great. Ermis the dog was a massive hit and a really lovely companion for the week, never trying to come into the house but always hoping for a crumb or two. Location quiet and no sign of neighbors. Lovely views and a welcome sea breeze up the valley. Thank you Marina and family.
Michael H. Jul 13, 2021 05:38:38 PM
Summary: We have rented the main house and the studio with 4 people to have distance from each other and a little private atmosphere. This decision was absolutely right and we spent a great vacation. The entire property is very clean and lovingly maintained to the smallest detail. There are numerous seating options that always guarantee a place in the shade. The pool is 8m long enough to swim a few laps. It takes 20-30 minutes to walk to the old town. A one-way taxi ride costs only 6-8€. We have nothing to complain about and would love to come back one day. Who likes animals, would have a lot of fun with Ernis the house dog. Even morning walks together with him are possible. Thanks also to the entire host family who answered our questions when needed and regularly cleaned out- & inside.
