Family holiday

Really lovely villa in a quite and private location, Babis the owner is so friendly and helpful, had fridges stocked with water and soft drinks and fresh local fruit on our arrival and he is available for you 24/7! The villa does need a little freshen up in the annex for example but wasn’t really an issue. You will need a car as the best restaurants are 15 mins drive away in Rethmyno, but there is a very good souvlaki shop that delivers to the villa, easy reach of beaches and supermarkets all within 5 mins by car, pool area is brilliant and the pool is very deep so bare that in mind if you have little ones with you. We were a party of 12 with 6 children aged between 1 and 15 and all loved the space, pool and picking fresh fruit from the orchard in the grounds! Thanks Babis for your help and we will be back!

Perfect Villa (Villa Anna)

Ok, where do i start, this villa is the perfect place to spend time with friends and family. We arrived late and as greeted by the owners son who shown us around the villa and during our stay was only a phone call or a text away. The villa is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It has a large pool area and is totally private, also an added extra of a basket ball court which we all had a go at, all the bedrooms are air conditioned and very comfortable. A car is essential at this villa but if you do wish to go to the local village at night the local taxi's are very reliable.

Villa Anna was lovely. Had everything that we needed for our stay. Pool house could do with updating

We had a wonderful holiday, enjoyed spending time at the villa on the terrace and in the very warm pool. Poliou house in the village is a must for food and Greek dancing. Bali beach is a definite for the children. The villa was lovely but the pool house could do with updating and the gardens looked untidy by the end of our two weeks.

Great holiday in great Villa Anna

We (3 families, 13 people ) spent one week in Creece in Villa Anna. The villa was nice and all the bedrooms had airconditioning so we had a good sleep. The garden had basketball field which was in use every day and of course the nice, warm and deep swimming pool made our Holiday perfect. Defenetly recomend.
