Perfect home for our family reunion!

This was such a lovely property with so many amenities, we really could’ve just stayed on site the entire week. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked. The kids (ages 6-17) spent hours in the pool, and were so enamored with the resident mama cat and kittens that they barely even used the basketball hoop or ping pong table! The large great room and patio table made family dinners very enjoyable no matter where we decided to eat., and the sunsets were amazing. The only “complaint” anyone had was that the nearby roads weren’t very conducive to going on walks or runs (only an issue for the runner in our group;). Thanks for your hospitality!

September Stay

lovely villa with fantastic outdoor area. We had the pool heated which was great as we had two small children and there is plenty of space inside including a whole ground floor 2 bed studio with wine cellar!! Car is essential as there is no shops/restaurants etc within walking distance however these are only around 5-10 minutes drive away and worth the visit. I would happily return to this villa in the future.

June 2019 Family Reunion

Our family reunion group enjoyed a very pleasant one week stay at Villa Delfini in late June 2019. The Villa has a beautiful setting and a very functional outdoor patio pool area. The owner Mrs Emilia was gracious, kind, welcoming, and responded very promptly to several minor house maintenance issues that occurred during our stay. In addition the etouri team of Kostas and Robert provided us with a host of very useful information and were always available to provide any assistance needed. Everything described and promised in the rental description was accurate and delivered. Our group of 10 adults was a bit unusual in that we used the villa's kitchen and outdoor barbecue for preparing virtually all of our meals. The kitchen is adequate for light meal preparation but should be supplied with some large salad bowls, a lemon press, more kitchen towels, as well as a better set of barbecue utensils. All in all, we would not hesitate to strongly recommend Villa Delfini as a wonderful choice for a vacation stay on Crete. One member of our group described his experience to a friend who has already booked a future vacation stay for her family.

Wunderschön eingerichtete Villa Delfini/Kreta

Die Villa Delfini liegt am Hang - wunderbare Aussicht auf das Meer. Die Poolanlage mit genĂŒgend LiegestĂŒhlen und bequemer Lounge! Perfekt zum ausspannen. Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Einzig in der KĂŒche gibt es ein paar MĂ€ngel: KĂŒhlschrank - Schublade kaputt Ofen: Blech sollte sauber sein:-) grosse SalatschĂŒssel fehlt (Villa fĂŒr 8 Personen) Die Villa wĂ€re total ruhig gelegen - jedoch in unserer Zeit Sept/Okt 2021bellten Abends die Hunde rundherum. Mrs. Emilia versuchte das Problem zu lösen.

Super Haus in StrandnÀhe

Das Haus ist super, Strand und SupermĂ€rkte mit dem Auto in 10-15 min erreichbar. Die NachbargrundstĂŒcke werden von Hunden bewacht, die nachts laut bellen. Die waren störend, deshalb nur 4 von 5 Sternen.

Perfekte Woche in der Traumvilla

Wir waren schon von den Bildern und der Beschreibung im Inserat begeistert und wurden nicht enttĂ€uscht. Die Villa liegt wunderschön, sehr ruhig gelegen, schöne Aussicht und doch nah an Rethymno und auch nicht soweit von Chania. Die EigentĂŒmerin hat uns freundlich empfangen und gut wĂ€hrend der Woche betreut. Einzig das Thema mit dem bellenden Hund in der Nacht hatten wir auch, unbedingt regeln, dann wird der Hund weiter oben im NachbargrundstĂŒck untergebracht. Wir können diese Villa nur empfehlen.

Traumvilla mit herrlichem Meerblick

Wir hatten 2 sehr entspannte Ferienwochen in der Villa Delfini und waren rundum zufrieden. Die Villa ist sehr ruhig etwas abseits vom Trubel gelegen. Man benötigt ein Auto und ist in wenigen Minuten in Rethymnon mit sehr guter touristischer Infrastruktur oder an verschiedenen StrĂ€nden. Die Einrichtung der Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll, der Pool schön groß und die Ausstattung wie beschrieben. Wer fĂŒr 8 - 10 Personen oft aufwĂ€ndiger kochen möchte muss improvisieren aber fĂŒr normale, schnelle UrlaubskĂŒche reicht es vollkommen. Ansonsten ist alles da und man muss nicht sofort losrennen und SpĂŒli ect. kaufen. Das kleine GemĂŒsegĂ€rtchen am Haus war sehr praktisch, wenn man ein paar frische Tomaten oder ein paar KrĂ€uter zwischendurch benötigt hat. Die Besitzerin hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und war auch immer erreichbar wenn wir Hilfe benötigten. Die Agentur etouri hat uns super betreut. Gerne hĂ€tten wir auch ein paar AusflĂŒge gebucht aber wir hatten unser Auto und waren sehr viel auf eigene Faust unterwegs. Uns hat Kreta sehr gut gefallen und wir wĂŒrden das Haus jederzeit wieder buchen.

Luxuriöse Familienunterkunft

Der Kontakt sowohl mit der Agentur (etouri), als auch mit der Besitzerin (Emilia) war von Anfang an und durchgĂ€ngig sehr gut und kundenfreundlich. Die Agentur hatte uns einen Mietwagenverleih vermittelt, mit dem wir sehr gut gefahren sind. Ausserdem wurden wir auch sonst sehr gut betreut und immer ernst genommen. Was bis jetzt leider noch in keinem Review erwĂ€hnt wurde, ist, dass die Villa sehr lĂ€ndlich gelegen und von Landwirtschaft umgeben ist. Das Erwachen am Morgen war jeweils sehr idyllisch mit krĂ€hendem Hahn und bimmelnden Schafglöckchen. Leider werden aber die benachbarten GrundstĂŒcke von Hunden bewacht. Einer davon war ziemlich nah am Schlafzimmerfenster und hat uns in der Nacht zu Beginn des Aufenthaltes geweckt. Dank Emilias Einsatz wurde der Hund dann aber verlegt, so dass wir besser schlafen konnten. Wir wurden also sehr ernst genommen und unser Anliegen wurde rasch erledigt. Zum ersten Mal gibt es in einem Haus eine Poolheizung, die sich lohnt! Der verlangte Betrag am Tag fĂŒr den Strom ist zwar etwas auf der teuren Seite, dafĂŒr ist der Pool auch tatsĂ€chlich schön warm! Das hatten wir noch nie bei einem Ferienhaus. FĂŒr uns das Highlight am Haus, da das Wetter im Herbst doch unbestĂ€ndig sein kann und man auf Kreta immer grosse Strecken fahren muss, um irgendwohin zu kommen. Erfreut haben wir uns auch an den auf dem GrundstĂŒck lebenden Katzen. Speziell die zwei kleinen waren zwar extrem scheu, aber sehr sĂŒss! Ansonsten darf man dem Inserat glauben. Das Haus ist sehr gross mit 5 Schlafzimmern und 5 Badezimmern. Klima gibts ĂŒberall. WLAN hatten wir auch schon besseres in FerienhĂ€usern, die Geschwindigkeit dĂŒrfte da noch besser sein und die KĂŒche dĂŒrfte fĂŒr Selbstkocher noch mehr AusrĂŒstung haben.

Ein Traumhaus fĂŒr wunderschöne Ferien

Wir haben 8 Tage in dieser grandiosen Villa genossen. Haus, Zimmer, BĂ€der und die offene KĂŒche sind einfach toll. Der Blick aufs Meer grandios. Die Villa ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und Emilia die Inhaberin hat einfach alles getandamit wir uns zuhause fĂŒhlen. Tolle Betten, feine BettwĂ€sche, Pool TĂŒcher, und sogar fĂŒr die Liegen am Pool wurden innerhalb 1 Stunde Auflagen organisiert. Es war eine grandiose Woche! Vielen Dank!
