Fabulous place with truly hospitable hosts
We had a fabulous stay. The views were amazing. The house is a good size and has everything you need. The garden area was well maintained. We loved chilling by the pool. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and generous and helped us find great restaurants and beaches too. A truly lovely week away. To be recommended.

Amazing villa and hosts
Just back from a fabulous stay in Villa Artemis. The villa is beautiful and a great base to explore the island. Rethymno old town is very close and full of lovely restaurants and shops. On the way there you will pass through Atsipopoulo, make sure to go to the bakery beside the 7 days grocery store! Our hosts were so welcoming and did all they could to make sure we had a great holiday, including bringing us treats and presents! I can totally recommend staying at the villa, we were all very sad to leave at the end of our holiday.

Tout était parfait !
Nous avons passé une super semaine en famille dans la Villa Artémis. Stella et sa famille sont aux petits soins pour que votre séjour soit inoubliable. Nous sommes arrivés le samedi soir tard et la maman de Stella nous avait préparé une délicieuse Moussaka, des gâteaux et un Raki nous attendait. Quel accueil !!! Nous avions des provisions pour les premiers jours dans les placards et le frigo. En milieu de séjour les serviettes, le linge de maison ont été changé et le ménage a été fait et à nouveau nous avons été gâté par Stella et sa famille avec un bon gâteau et des petites surprises. Nous avons vraiment été accueilli comme des rois. Sinon la Villa est magnifique, très spacieuse, avec tout le confort. Nous étions 5 et nous nous sommes vraiment senti chez nous. L'endroit est très calme et la vue, notamment à l'étage, est magnifique. Niveau emplacement c'est idéal puisque vous êtes à 10 min de Rethymnon en voiture et avec tous les accès vers la côte sud, vers Heraklion ou vers La Cannée, ce qui nous a permis de vadrouiller sur cette magnifique île et de voir beaucoup de chose en 1 semaine. A proximité de la Villa il y a tout ce qu'il faut en 3 à 5 minutes en voiture (Taverne, pharmacie, épicerie, boulangerie ...). Bref je vous recommande vivement cette superbe Villa. Une chose est sûre si nous devons revenir en Crète ça sera par le biais de Stella et sa famille.

Great place to stay
We had a great time at the villa. The peace and quiet was amazing as were the views. We’re a family of 5 but felt like we had plenty of space outside and in. Stella was very helpful and sat down with us on the first day suggesting places we might like to visit - all were spot on. We went into Rethymnon most evenings to eat out - fabulous old town - but local restaurant The Verandah was lovely too.

Wunderbar ruhig und
abgeschieden. Die Unterkunft ist noch schöner als die Fotos vermuten lassen, alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Ein herzliches Dankeschön nochmal an unsere wunderbaren und gastfreundlichen Vermieter 🤗. Das einzige Manko war die schlecht funktionierende Spülmaschine und ein leichter „Modergeruch“ in den Schränken. Wir würden trotzdem wieder buchen!
