A perfect house for a family holiday
We stayed at Villa Givera in August of 2021, and it was our favorite stay throughout our 14 days in Greece. We loved, loved, LOVED the house itself. Our teenager had his own room and our 5-year-old was excited by the kid toys that the host had left for her. Having your own private pool with a view of the ocean was amazing! We made a point of watching the sunset from the pool every day we were there. Definitely use the outdoor kitchen as well. One of the best dinners of the entire trip was when we picked up souvlaki, lamb burgers, and halloumi cheese from a nearby supermarket to grill and had a family night in cooking, drinking wine, and watching the sunset. The location is wonderful. You can be in old town Rethymno in less than 10 minutes, our favorite restaurant was Taverna Zisis--only six minutes away--because it has a playground for kids to play while you take your time with dinner. Also nearby-- hiking in Myloi Gorge in ten minutes or on a beach in 15. The bigger beaches of Triopetra and Damnoni are a bit further, but manageable -- about 45 minutes away on the other side of the island. We would absolutely stay there again!

Fabulous Villa in a quiet, peaceful location.
We chose this villa because of its location - a 10 minute drive to Rethymno but away from the 'tourist' area. It is set on a hillside covered in olive groves and looks out across the bay in front. It is a good location for exploring much of the Island and we would recommend you visit the south coast with its wonderful beaches. Marina and her team were always very efficient and helpful, responding quickly to any problems or queries we had. Andreas took great care of the pool and garden as well as any handyman jobs that needed his attention. The villa is very well equipped and supermarkets and a bakery are 10 minutes drive away. Restaurants in Rethymno are plentiful with some lovely locations in the old town. We would recommend Alana - we had some excellent meals there, service is great. Rethymno has changed since we lasted visited about 30 years ago - many more buildings, but the island retains its charm and character with a warm and friendly welcome.

Die perfekte Unterkunft in Rethymno
Die Villa ist wirklich großartig und genau wie auf den Bildern beschrieben. Alles ist sehr sauber und ordentlich, zweimal pro Woche wird alles gereinigt, es gibt jedes Mal frische Handtücher und Bettwäsche. Die ruhige Lage in den Bergen mit Blick auf Rethymno und das Meer sind ein Traum, die Außenküche super praktisch und mit dem Auto ist man in gut 5 Minuten beim Bäcker und in 10 Minuten beim Supermarkt. Marina ist wirklich eine großartige Gastgeberin! Danke!!!

Villa Wunderschöne
Ein wunderschönes mediterranes Haus, ruhig und abseits vom Touristen Rummel. Einziges Manko ist die Mülltonne vorm Haus - zu klein und es darf nicht alles rein. Auch fremde haben ihren Müll reingepackt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen

Das Haus samt Garten mit Pool ist tiptop gepflegt und mit viel Liebe ausgestattet. Toller Blick auf Meer und Rethymnon von der Terrasse aus. Und mit dem Mietwagen ist man schnell an den Stränden der Insel und in der Stadt.
