We, a group of 9 people, had 6 wonderful days in Villa Vangelis in Chromonastiri.
The villa is 100% as pictured, super equipped (gas barbecue, crockery and cutlery, hairdryer, washing machine and detergent, dishwasher, books in English, Games such as Tabu, etc) and has contemporary furnishings. The highlight was of course the beautiful pool which was cleaned every two days and when needed. Towels and bed linen were also changed during our stay.
Check-in and communication with Maria worked flawlessly. Maria was always quickly reachable and could help us with any request. She was available around the clock with advice and action and could also help us with recommendations.
Chromonastiri is small and that is exactly what makes it so charming. Far away from tourism, you can enjoy the peace and quiet in Chromonastiri. There is a kiosk right next to the accommodation that covers the basic daily needs. Apart from that, there are two taverns in the village that offer very good and authentic Greek food at even better prices. If you need a change of space, it takes only 20 minutes to get to the nearest town, Rethymno, which has a large beach promenade and many good restaurants, bars and shops. However, the villa is perfectly located between both airports of Crete and other beautiful and more empty beaches can be reached quickly (p.e. Bali, Episkopi beach). However, the villa is right next to the town's church, which rings every half hour in the morning and afternoon. We quickly got used to this, as it does not ring in the late evening and night.
We felt very welcome to the village and the people were really warm and welcoming.
We had a wonderful holiday! Kostas and his colleagues (especially Maria) took great care of us and made sure that no questions remained unanswered and that we felt comfortable.
Many thanks to the whole team!
See you soon!
