Nikiforos Fokas Chalets

"Wonderful location in a quiet and pleasant part of the island. Joanna was great with her communication and hospitality. The villa is clean and tidy with plenty of equipment needed for a stay. There are plenty of beach options nearby and the city is easy to reach where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The pool at the villa is lovely, private and clean. The equipment provided around the pool is great quality. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms have great views down to the sea. The kitchen has plenty of equipment that is needed for a stay and the living area is nicely laid out. Outside there are plenty of places to sit and eat and a garden to explore. Highly recommended for those who want to get away from it all, but want to be close enough to civilisation when needed. "

"Booked as wanted a hotel with a pool. The pool and the pool bar were closed unfortunately. The weather had been a bit changeable but the pool looked like it hadn’t been used for a while. Would like to have been informed.. However, the rooms were exceptionally clean. Could do with glasses/cups in the room though"

"We had an amazing two week stay in the Myrtia Villa accomodated by the most amazing host George who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed the most of our time. The villa is exactly as pictured and described and had all the necessary amenities for a family visit. It is located on a private driveway with plenty of parking in the heart of the village.The village is small but has plenty of character and the old town of Rethimno and the beaches of Petres and Episkopi are a short car or bus journey. We opted for the heating in the pool and it ensured we could enjoy it throughout the stay no matter the weather. This is a gem of a property and host and we will be recommending to family and friends if they wish to visit Crete. "

"We stayed here in mid September… Absolutely brilliant.Giorgos deserves his SuperHost award. We celebrated here with all 11 bedrooms used! Everyone had their own bathrooms,.. if not an ensuite, then a main bathroom for the upper levels. Only the two apartments had shared bathrooms between two bedrooms. But a plunge in the pool or shower at different times was easy enough. The external caterers, coordinated by Giorgos for our one-night special event were also brilliant. Very professional - exceptional fresh food. Very accommodating. Any hiccups along the way were minor and were sorted IMMEDIATELY by Giorgio or Paris who met us onsite with the keys. Nothing was too much. The location was only a short walk to Gerani - a lovely welcoming village with everything you needed. Cafe Kapou were open every day for our daily morning Freddo expresso, cappuccino or Greek coffee. And the bakery across the road was a must … every day! Walk to Gerani beach, also fabulous. The day we stayed at the villa allowed us to enjoy all the facilities: swimming pool, snooker table, air hockey, gymnasium, outdoor BBQ and wood oven. What can I say. We even watched a Netflix movie on one of the nights!! "

"Thank you George for a wonderful stay! The villa was amazing and we had a fabulous time! "

"5 star for everything. Location, view, hospitality. Just perfect. Absolutely recommended. "

"The property was well built and everything worked as it should. The poolside garden was well maintained with mature shrubs and trees which meant there was always areas of shade to be found which was very handy with little children. The shutters made it very easy to keep the house cool. The property was in a residential area and was very peaceful at night. We’ve been coming to Crete every year for the last twenty years and the villa was definitely one of the best we’ve stayed in. "

"We were a family party ages ranging from 2 years to 84 years. The villa was great for all of us from swimming pool, jacuzzi outdoor pizza oven to the air conditioning and lift, we couldn't fault it. Our host Myron couldn't have been more helpful. Would happily recommend this property. Should also say that the view was stunning. Maureen Skilling "

"Very lovely family that own it. The house and garden are very nice. You will need a car to stay here as it’s up so very steep hills but in a very beautiful location! Very easy check in as owner will meet you there to explain everything and answer any questions as well as check out process. Kitchen is quite a small space but you also have a bbq area outside which is lovely. Bedrooms all very nice and clean. We had a clean mid stay, we were expecting just basic clean but it was given a very good clean. We as a family have all agreed we would definitely stay again"
