We have just spent 10 days at Villa Prima, set in Paglochori, a quiet area surrounded by olive groves.
The villa is exactly as described, it was just perfect. Finished to a high spec, every room had air con and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The villa is luxurious and spacious you wont need for anything, we were very comfortable throughout our stay.
The outside area is spectacular and child friendly with a large jungle gym and beautiful pool area (lit up at night) which had numerous sun lounges as well as other comfortable seating and lots of shade. There is a box with pool/beach stuff for use.
As the other reviews say, Panos our host/villa owner has a very personal approach and is very thoughtful, he really went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed and a fabulous holiday. When we arrived we had a fruit basket, the fridge was full of shopping to allow us to relax straight away after our flight.
Throughout our stay, Panos was always on hand and quick to respond if we needed anything. Panos is one of the best hosts we have ever had on holiday, he genuinely cares about his visitors and does everything he can to ensure you have a memorable stay/experience.
I would recommend getting a car to explore the island. Just a 5 min drive away you are located very close to the beach, numerous restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries (which are amazing) as well as mini golf, go carting. Some of our favourites were:
Restaurants: Taverna Eleven, Poliou House (Greek dancing Thursdays), Yialis Wine Restaurant (in Rethymnon), Sirocco Taverna (Plakias Beach)
Takeaway: Paprika (amazing Gyros!)
Beach: Paraplous (Paraplous Taverna at top with lots of parking), walk down stairs from restaurant onto beach. Sun loungers/ umbrellas and beach service.
