Summary: A perfect villa for our 5 night stay in Crete! The home is spacious, welcoming and offers not only complete privacy but amazing views from a wrap around porch and pool. We appreciated being able to spread out, enjoy the views from all of the bedrooms, and enjoy family meals cooked in the well-stocked kitchen. Our gracious host met us a check in and was available for any questions we had. It was a central location convenient to really sample the many wonderful offerings of Crete. I would highly recommend!

Summary: We stayed here as a family of four and recommend the property highly. It is big and was fairly enormous for us but a great place for our four and seven year old to explore. The house has everything you need including a filter coffee maker and the owners are kind enough to supply all essentials including butter, coffee, bread etc. The local restaurant Goules is a great place just a few minutes drive away. You do need a car. Rethmyno is about 20 mins away with lots of places to eat. Livida beach was our favourite (about a 40 min drive) as it’s a sheltered cove with a sandy beach and very shallow. Closest supermarkets and bakery in j Armenoi and 8 min drive away. Our check in and check out was excellent and straightforward and the clean every few days was an added bonus. We would definitely return!

Summary: We had a wonderful 2 weeks stay in this very beautiful and very big villa, up in the hills and away from all the hustle and bustle so were able to truly relax. There were 6 of us including 4 children and they had everything we needed. It would have been nice to have a couple more items for the children to play with in the pool but that was no big drama. Everything was very clean and it was nice to have them come and do a mid week clean whilst we were out. The 2 little supermarkets in Armeni have all that you require and if you need anything they don't have then Rythemno is only about 22 mins drive away. We did lots of day trips including 2 waterparks so there are many things that are accessible without having to drive more the 1.5 hours away to keep you busy. The company Etouri that manage the property were very helpful and even surprised us with a couple of gifts which was so nice of them and really appreciated. They were always available and very quick to respond if we needed anything. All in all, a great place to visit and stay. We were so lucky to be able to get away during such a happy 2020 COVID year and it was made extra nice by being here in Crete. Definitely recommend! Thank you for having us, Kerry x

Summary: Such an amazing villa which was most definitely worthy of our 5 star rating. It had everything we needed as a family of 7 across 3 generations for our holiday. Plenty of space inside and out, sun and shade at all time’s of the day, lovely pool for swimming and cooling off, amazing BBQ area and really well equipped kitchen and beautiful walks around the surrounding area. Away from it all but close enough to rethymno for nights out, visits to the beautiful town and beach visits to the south coast too. Thank you so much to Evelin the owner for such a warm welcome, the lovely treats and the food shop on our arrival. I can’t give enough praise to Etouri (Edit, Eleni and Kostas). Right from the off with help booking the villa, organising things before we arrived, booking amazing tables at special restaurants, checking in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything at all and keeping us fully up to date with any changes due to Covid restrictions. A fantastic service that we will definitely look to use again.

Summary: Villa Kleanthi is truly a fabulous property, set in a remote mountain location in the village of Kare with stunning views of the White Mountains & surrounding countryside. Its owners, Marina & Takis were wonderful & attentive hosts, providing a very warm welcome and always being at hand whenever a problem presented itself. Its location provided easy access to both North & South coasts & a vehicle is essential to allow you to get around these areas and of course to do local supermarket shopping in Armenie. The villa provides so many outside areas for groups to sit & relax and also eat or have a drinks whilst watching the beautiful sun-set. Whilst enjoying 2 weeks of sunshine, the pool at this time of year was not warm enough for swimming but it still provided opportunities to cool off, when the sun became a little intense. Being in rural location, the peaceful atmosphere is often broken by the sound of sheep bells or a crowing cockerel and around sunset, a flock of swifts entertain you by swooping across the swimming pool taking a drink as they fly. Just down the road from the villa is Goules Taverna where Kostas the owner will provide some of the best Cretan food available on the island - this small taverna is a real gem & the welcome from Kostas is always warm & welcoming. Overall, our 2 weeks at Villa Kleanthi was extremely enjoyable and relaxing and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone looking for a luxurious retreat in a peaceful & beautiful location in Crete.

Summary: This is a beautiful property very peaceful and with lovely views especially the sunsets! We were greeted by Marina the owner who was lovely she gave us a welcome gift of olive oil, jam and local made cakes plus basics in the fridge which was much appreciated. The house had everything we needed with plenty of space , lovely areas to sit and relax and a refreshing pool. Nearby supermarkets (car needed) and a taverna about a 20 minute walk away where the staff and owners are very friendly. We had a fantastic relaxing holiday and the owners and management couldn't have done anymore for us. Would definitely go again and fully recommend this property. Many thanks

Summary: We have stayed in many places in Greece through our travels and Villa Kleanthi is clearly one of the best! The Villa has everything one would need for a very comfortable and restful stay. It is impeccably and thoughtfully designed. The location itself is very quiet with beautiful views of the countryside - 20 minutes from Rethymno and 35 minutes from the gorgeous southern beaches. Couple all of this with the wonderful Greek hospitality of Marina and Takis the owners and you will be very happy you've chosen this Villa. We will be back. I also want to thank Kostas from the management company for his excellent service, a level of which I have not experienced in my decades of travel.
Craig R. Oct 21, 2017 05:43:54 PM
Summary: Villa Kleanthi is a beautiful & spacious villa in a very peaceful setting. Everything you could possibly need is there for you, including a lovely warm welcome from the owners Marina & her husband who will greet you with local treats! The bedrooms are all gorgeous & the main lounge huge, wth a wrap around terrace. Booking could not have been easier & the help we received from Kostas at Etouri during the booking process & then from Sophia whilst we were there was the best I've experienced in 30 plus years of travel. I should point out that I work in the travel industry myself so to get such excellent service & such a warm welcome by the owners made a fantastic impression on me - as well as the rest of my party. The owners, who discovered it was my sisters 70th birthday, even left a beautiful gift on the doorstep for her on our return from the beach one day! The Villa is approximately 1 hour 20 mins from Heraklion, 15-20 mins from Rethymno & 35-40 mins from the south coast beaches. If you don't mind the initial drive from the airport then your are perfectly positioned for both the North & South coasts of the island. We loved the beaches on the south coast visiting three different ones on three days. Plakias being one of them, which is a great place for lunch on the water. We particularly liked Sofia's. Try the smaller beaches & bays a couple of miles to the east & west of Plakias. All have sun loungers & food/toilet facilities. We also visited Rethymno & loved our two evenings out there. The old town is lovely & the meal we had for my sisters 70th birthday at Prima Ploma was outstanding. If you ask Sophia to book for you they will give you the best table in the house - with spectacular views along Rethymno bay. Be warned though, the dessert trilogy will feed 6! I'm not kidding. I have a sweet tooth but 5 of us could not get through everything, delicious as it all was. Another great meal in Rethymno was at a restaurant called Petite Fleure, which is right across the road from the main beach & just a short 6 or 7 minute walk from the old town, where we started the evening off with cocktails in a bar/cafe. The tastiest thing I had all week though was at the local Taverna, Goules. A starter of goats cheese parcels & plum jam. Yum. It's a small taverna & it was quiet when we were there, but the owner was lovely recommending different dishes for us to try. All round, a great holiday. Thank you!
