About this property

Traditional, stone-built villa with private pool, spectacular views, privacy

Villa Ifigenia is a two-level stone building which has been recently constructed. The building is unique because the traditional elements are combined with a modern touch so that the visitors will feel comfortable during their stay. The villa is located in a quiet and isolated area, just 7km away from the lively city of Rethymno. It is well laid out in 80sq metres with an open plan kitchen, dining area and a living room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. The swimming pool is also for private use.

Villa Ifigenia is only 15 minutes drive from the centre of the city and 15 minutes drive from the nearest beach. The villa can accommodate up to 4 people.

Wonderful hosts, very quiet location
We stayed at villa Ifigenia during the first 2 weeks of October 2023. The location is situated in the hills above Prines which is 5mins drive away and about 20mins from Old Town Rethymno - you will need a car. The villa was very clean and contained everything you required. The towels and bedding were changed on a regular basis. We made great use of the outside space - very quiet, not overlooked, sun all day with an excellent pool. Stella and the whole family were wonderful, very welcoming and very thoughtful - perfect hosts. A very big thankyou to everyone we met which made our stay in Crete even more memorable.

Simplement PARFAIT !
Toute la famille a eu un véritable coup de cœur pour cette villa. Nous sommes arrivés dans la nuit, et avons eu la chance de découvrir ce cadre de rêve lendemain au réveil: Une vue à couper le souffle sur la mer, un jardin immense et aucun vis à vis car le premier voisin se trouve loin de la propriété. Une piscine entretenue régulièrement et des chambres climatisées. Et cerise sur le gâteau: plein de cadeaux à notre arrivée puis pendant le séjour par les propriétaires qui sont d'une très grande générosité et qui nous ont donné des conseils précieux sur les commodités et restaurants. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés mais n'oubliez pas de les ouvrir en arrivant, car c'est encore mieux que sur les photos ! Merci Stella et merci à ta famille pour cet accueil chaleureux. Nous reviendrons c'est sur.

Nice place
Das Haus ist sehr schön in einen Olivenhain eingebettet. Die Aussicht über die Küste ist atemberaubend. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr herzlich und zuvorkommend. Wir wurden mit einer frischen und noch warmen Mousaka empfangen. Im Haus gibt es alles was man benötigt. Die Ruhe in der Umgebung war sehr erholsam.

Wunderschöne Villa in toller Lage!
Wir waren rundum begeistert! Die Villa und der Garten sind toll, sehr sauber, sehr gepflegt und sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Lage hat uns ebenfalls sehr gut gefallen. Etwas abseits, in sehr schöner Natur und schön ruhig; der nächste Ort mit Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ist zu Fuß gut zu erreichen und mit dem Auto ist man in unter 15 Min an der Küste. Am meisten beeindruckt hat uns die Betreuung durch die Vermieterfamilie, die das Haus und den Pool während unseres Aufenthalts mehrmals gereinigt, uns tolle Ausflugstipps gegeben und uns immer wieder mit Essen und Trinken überrascht hat, immer erreichbar war und einfach unglaublich hilfsbereit und liebevoll ist! Dort kann man sich einfach nur wohlfühlen und sehr gut erholen!

Super séjour. Très bon accueil.
C'était un super séjour dans une villa magnifique avec la vue sur la montagne et la mer. La Villa était très propre et l'accueil était très chaleureux. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la moussaka et les petits gâteaux crétois fait maison que nous avons eu. Nous avons été très surpris par l'hospitalité des Crétois qui était très amicale. Merci à Stella et sa famille 😊
